Stumbled upon a stream of someone building a Gundam Model kit... remembered I've had an Armored Core model kit sitting in a box since 2009... proceeded to look into how those Armored Core kits go: Apparently they are difficult, fragile, and require good painting skills to look good. In the box it stays (for now).

I think I improved her open mouth art but it's a real struggle. I think it's good enough for now. I might work on her arms next. The sleeves are supposed to be transparent showing her arms underneath but right now it's just fake transparent and not lined up correctly.

just a minute 30 seconds of nothing but a good-ass fight: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w_LCivq9MXc

Got a new laptop cause mine blew up a day before AION 2 playtest. This new laptop doesn't even get hot I tried cyber punk with path tracing overdrive and frame generation and I can basically run cyber punk at maxed settings. The bottom and back of the laptop has vents like I never seen before. Anyway, AION 2 sep 30th wohoo!
