I love dinosaurs and I do art but I’m putting all that on hold because paying attention to the collapse of America means preparing for what is about to come. You should too. https://art-with-mckenzie.square.site

I was fiddling with her eye movement behavior and as a goof I thought I’d also see how her eyelid blinking affects her skin and I found out that her eyelid mucks up her eye sculpt. So she may not blink but that eye looking around is gonna look real and ferocious.

This jumbled mess is her brain. I kept adding more and more and more. Soon she’s going to have behaviors and mannerisms and react to things. And this isn’t even ALL her neat little mechanisms plugged in.

I had a freaking breakthrough! I didn’t know how loud I could make her. I thought she’d sound weak and fake.

Hell no.

Turn the sound up and keep in mind she’s gonna have two speakers. This is just one with the volume BARELY turned up.

Working on eyes. This is mid process. I think I’m getting it right finally.

I knew they’d cave. They always do.

I’ve always said republicans are heartless and democrats are spineless. Both parties never fail that perspective.

If you believe that Dem leadership is fighting for you, ask them what they did when the Supreme Court took away the human rights of 50% of the nation, when two thirds of Americans disagreed with the Court’s decision, and we had the presidency. More than 3 years later. Ask how they’ve fought.

MTG seems to be saying all the right things lately. I can't decide if she's sincere & turning over a new leaf or if she's trying to tone down her rhetoric for a future gubernatorial run. Only time will tell.

You fucking people will let anyone off the hook for their violent hateful beliefs and all they have to do is say shiny words you like

You’re all a bunch of Nazi tattoo forgiving, Jewish space lasers forgetting gullible marks getting played for fools

As a Jew I suggest you all go fuck yourselves.

I’m getting better at making eyes. I got a dope one I just made. But here’s the progress so far from my first lousy attempt to one of my recent ones.

1: painted
2: painted with resin
3: sculpted, painted with resin
4: sculpted, shaped, painted with resin

So I’ve been learning odontology. I think I’ve found the perfect combination to crate teeth that can scatter light as if it’s showing the separation of enamel and dentin.

If they were solid, Mina wouldn’t look real and she’s gotta look real!

Graham Linehan @Glinner • 37s

The left has conditioned you to associate the name 'Soros' with conspiracy theories. They even tried to paint the late Magdalene Burns as an antiSemite when she drew attention to his links to political troonery. Calling me a bigot is how @F Politics_ earns his keep.

So I guess it’s taken me about 2 weeks to learn animatronics and some engineering.

Next update will be a painted one with hopefully a better looking eyeball and cooler movements.

Already working on Mina 2.0. This is her eye under UV light to cure. Her eyes will be fully articulating and she’ll be able to blink. I’m also figuring out how to automate her jaw and making her roar on command.

'Far-Right Boogaloo Admits Shooting Up Cop Station Amid Floyd Protests'

“A member of the far-right Boogaloo Boys had admitted he traveled from Texas to Minneapolis in the wake of George Floyd's death and purported to be a Black Lives Matter supporter while wreaking havoc on the city: Ivan Harrison Hunter, 24. pleaded guilty Thursday to a single count of rioting. He admitted to firing 13 rounds from an AK-47-style rifle into the 3nd Precinct police station as rioters set the building alight in May 2020. He was then filmed yelling "Justice for Floyd!" Hunter wore a distinctive skull mask during the riot that investigators later matched to a video on his Facebook page.”

“The Boogaloo movement is an extremist, anti-government, often racist movement that aims to start a second American civil war.
Court filings allege Hunter came to Minneapolis with two other Boogaloos and also communicated with Steven Carrillo, a Boogaloo accused of fatally ambushing officers in California.”

Stay safe for those going to protest tomorrow.

Stay peaceful & watch out for outside agitators. There WILL be outside agitators using this peaceful event to paint the left as violent etc. based on past events they’ve tried to infiltrate.

Record/document it but do not engage. That’s what they want.

So I decided to begin on Mina 2.0 as I figure out original Mina and I decided to use sculpted eyes instead of just painting a smooth sphere.

Doing an upper tooth check on Mina. I’m finding a ton of little things that aren’t perfect on her which I was hoping to avoid but considering I’ve never done this before, I’d say she’s a good prototype and I’m learning a lot.

Started working on her other side for coloring and doing patchwork. I also threw in my hand so you can see just how big she is.

I threw a placeholder eyeball in her to see if the size is right and painted some more. I’m confident I have to resculpt her upper teeth.

But I think I got the coloring down so I’m gonna get her skin secured and start painting her all around.
