Talking of "stupid things that I have on my desk", this is the only thing that vies with "Captain Cash and Rocket Lad"¹ for favourite thing on my desk.
I make no bones about really not caring for japanimation. (This is a learned distaste, caused by its icky community. Once I saw certain things held up as positive I couldn't unsee them and it tarnished the whole medium as a result.) And of all the japanimation things, I think I loathe Pokemon the most. Not because it's especially egregious. (I mean it's at least not tentacle porn?) Because it's omnipresent. You can't go anywhere without having them polluting your eyes.
Thankfully I have an SO who agrees.
So when I stumbled over this figurine of the Xenomorph from the Alien franchise merged with Pikachu from Pokemon, I instantly thought of SO and bought it to surprise him with it.
Only...
It was REALLY cute and funny. So I decided it was mine. Now it sits on my desk next to "Captain Cash and Rocket Lad" and I really can't decide which I prefer.
Started a new project to try out MagicaCSG's new Groove Blend option, a feature I requested to the developer @ephtracy , and he delivered. 💪👍👌
Groove Blend allows you to limit Boolean operations, like addition and subtraction, to a given offset from an SDF surface, which is very effective for adding creases and panels.
Since I have not really posted up about them in a while, here are some of my anime figures I have at work. Don't mind the Parks and Rec poster behind it.
I have three Q-Posket figures of Sailor Mars, Sailor Moon, and Nami from One Piece.
I also have the three cosplaying figures. My favorite are Pikachu as Nezuko and Nezuko as Pikachu. I just find them funny.
Which is your favorite? Do you have some figures on display at your desk / office?
So, I may have bought presents for myself recently, then wrapped them (or helped my kids wrap them acting like I had no clue it was for me) and the pretended to be surprised on Christmas.
...
Yes, that is exactly what I did.
Here's a pic of the stuff including all of the Wotakoi manga (a Cyber Monday deal), The Last Ronin, and the newest Sonic game.
Throughout the year I work on my own designs to sell and the occasional collaboration but at Christmas I get to work on gifts for friends 😁
Needless to say, not for sale. #Christmas#art#pokemon#handmade#pikachu
Aeden came home from school with this #pokemon#pikachu sticker, and maybe it's because I just got out of a rabbit hole of googling about the #twitch#ASMRMeta (scantily clad women getting paid to kiss and lick microphones yet somehow not get banned for being "sexually suggestive") but Pika is looking a little... 😳
I've been playing quite a bit of Detective Pikachu Returns and I must say it's a super charming little game, just like the first one. It's not too challenging (I really hate it when puzzles in video games make me feel dumb) and it's also super cute. I love the different approach towards the Pokémon franchise. Sure, it's a lot of text/reading but if you're willing to just roll with that, it's really fun. #DetectivePikachuReturns#Pikachu#Pokemon#Nintendo#Gaming#Videogame#ShareYourGames
