If you wanna chat more, you do have a DM with me on Discord already, I'm always happy to have discussions about world building, I do talk about it a lot with several peeps, including other mecha fans.

There is so much potential with your world, you just gotta think more about the future of it too, like what are you building up towards? You talk about the cross-breeding and such, but why? What drives this desire in the context of the story? There's some fun ideas you can pull from this. -

cute faces outside of a movie. You can absolutely world build this despite starting as basically porn. But you will have to probably do a bit of redesign of the LMs to actually convey what you're wanting with the eldritch thing (cosmic horror is amazing stuff and people rarely do it correctly). -

cuz they're trying to appeal to a general audience, and then the Na'vi end up looking like they don't even belong on Pandora cuz of it. Don't try to make stuff for regular people, what I was saying was in the context of the world building, most people aren't gunna be into machinefolk with -

You're not crazy at all, just different tastes. I know LM isn't a super popular subject matter in general, and I feel you shouldn't just be in it just for garnering an audience. You don't need to appeal to everyone at all, that's how we get designs like the Na'vi in Avatar, which are so boring -

Ah I see. In the end, it is up to you on whether you wanna share your characters like that or not. I think most don't have qualms with it, but if you are having doubts, maybe take a break from sharing your characters then?

Option 2 would be a super fun idea, cuz that allows for a lot of freedom on what you can do, and I also feel like it's done less often than the majority of LM stuff. Truthfully, that would be more eldritch than just "lots of teeth", something that can't be quite knowable.

This is a very odd line to try to toe, cuz 90% of the human race will not find these machines attractive unless they use something like a pretender shell, even with the cute faces on them (if anything, that'll lead more to uncanny valley and be more of a turn-off for the grand majority of people).

Well, perhaps you should instead lock that account down more? NSFW is always that weird line of trying to figure out what you do wanna share, especially with such personal things. You gotta do what is most comfortable for you. I get that desire to share, it can be annoying haha.

He doesn't have quite the traditional Mursaat armor, so kinda bsed some armor. Obviously the titties stay out of course. (I will always appreciate the fact that there's no sexual dimorphism between sexes/genders on the Mursaat, and titties out for all of them.)

I'm getting Alronzo's design figured out, as well as his fiery void dragonfiend, Solrax. Alronzo is an evoker, and the "spirit" is actually this void dragon that's clung to him (I have a whole background on how they met written up, as well as a long history). #guildwars2 #gw2

More monstrous would be wonderful, and will definitely move ya away from the Disney look. You want eldritch, gotta move away from familiar and more towards unknowable. This could turn into some wicked fun designs.

Mecha is such a small and obscure subject in general, even if we don't think it is. Grand majority of people aren't gunna know most mecha except for the super popular things like TFs or Wall-E or Star Wars. Gundam is not a big name outside of the anime community.

The general public isn't gunna know most mechs, especially those from obscure series that didn't hardly come stateside. I just gently inform people otherwise, cuz it's gunna happen. There's also an irony in you choosing this mech for the post lol.

Killing time on another connecting flight back home.

Animation is a mix of 2d painted frames for the subject and blender for the background.

Be me, get to a point in the dlc where my car got taken (but I still got icon of where car is), and instead of going on the path the game wants me to, I end up jumping over all the barriers and invisible walls, just going directly to my car while yelling "GIMME MY CAR BACK YOU BITCH" #pacificdrive

A photo of the Redline Rift Pacific Drive shirt. It's a dark teal, red, and orange print on a black garment, showing a dilapidated station wagon flying down the road away from an evergreen forest. Something that resembles an explosion blends into the outlines of a speedometer.
