Having Friends Is Great Sometimes They Draw Naked Women For You

(i own nothing, tsurumi is stolen from the manga and slightly altered, poppy flowers are stolen from the internet)

don't look up "kill sex" on tumblr there's no memes with cool skeletons and mgs characters :(

text and a silly doodle from yesterday below

i did line of action yesterday as well but didn't post.

i like the 10 minutes breakdancing guy (even although the shoulder is bad) and especially his pants; i mostly draw naked people bc it lets me see the anatomy better and yesterday while working on a small passion project it became obvious that i don't know what do pants look like lol. so this sketch was also my pants practice, in a way.

the longest sketch isn't much of upgrade from the 10 minute one, but that's ok i guess.

in a yt video there was an advice to do both practice and passion projects. i'd like to redraw one post i've seen here, which requires to practice faces, poses from imagination (or reference) and drawing specific characters. the first character i decided to draw is kazuhira miller from mgsv, and i was anxious bc i care about that character and would like to do him justice and draw him good. i opened a reference - the concept arts (full body and face) and the 3d model - and tried drawing the same things for now. i still have noticeable skill issue just drawing people (and faces especially), so even copying the exact same thing wasn't perfect, but i kinda like how the small doodle of his head (the one in the middle) came out and am posting ot below just as a small celebration. after this exercise i understood that i should as well practice drawing clothes and shoes (and mb guns if i will decide to be thorough). overall it went better than i expected.

satisfied with today's line of action practice. 1st one is 25 minutes, next one is 10 minutes but i paused the timer for a bit, next two are 5 minutes but i paused too and others are 1 minute. i am glad i finally can draw a decent (for me) sketch in 1 minute. not great amazing but i like it and wanted to post practice stuff anyway bc seeing other people do it inspires me to practice on my own and unironically brings me joy.

worth my father walking in on me drawing naked men lol

thankful to tumblr artists for the inspiration to try to draw, i like shapes and seeing shapes in human figures so much, thank you every person posting their sketches, but especially ultraeyepiss (plz post moar often than once in a month i beg of you) and zeeckz hehe

Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain (2015)

i think that's part of the "live and die under your orders" thing. (more below bc long post)

he was willing to sacrifice his life to shield big boss, so it is possible to assume he would be willing to give the rest of his life to the cause of big boss, and being big boss himself is a reward of sorts. also it is not only for personal safety of ishmael but to raise the chances of him achieving his goals; i don't think he thought venom snake will be ok at all, but i think he thought it is worth it and that venom snake would agree. which is still a very questionable thing to do ofc.

it's funny that you see him as a villain only bc for me it's the opposite: i have to remind myself what's wrong with him to not just see him as a cool guy lol. i was looking closely while playing pw to see the hints of him becoming evil or smth, and there were very few. even in mgsv i was upset the game isn't finished bc among other things i hoped to finally get the explanation of how he became the evil guy (if ever). now i hope to get it in mgs4 but will see how it goes.

in peace walker and portable ops there were two "villainy" things i noticed: kidnapping people to his pmc (which i at first disregarded as limitation of gameplay mechanics but is more fun to take literally) and being really dedicated to his goals and putting them first (as in when chico feels bad for breaking, he comforts him in a way that will make chico join the msf). and the second part is rather likeable to me than a reason to think he's a villain ngl. people in real world (not everyone ofc but many) were happy to have an opportunity give their life and death to a cause. huey really highlights it in mgsv for me: in a way, dd is play pretend, but i don't think it's a delusion bc they make it real with their own effort: they do impact the world and even their big boss becomes real big boss via his accomplishments and struggle.

i think that the boss was so loved by her followers bc she gave it her all, and big boss tried to follow and surpass her in that, and that's the appeal and i can't really see him as a villain (especially since he's fictional and thus any of his wrongs can be forgivable). interesting to see a person with opposite opinion.

also earlier you've posted that ishmael, unlike ahab, didn't even cry for his dead staff or smth. that's creepy of you ngl :) as a person who doesn't always cry at funerals of people i cared about, kinda scary that it could be perceived as me being indifferent rather than expressing my feelings in a different way (or not expressing them at all). as for big boss, there is an entire scene in portable ops when a staff member dies. it is not a 100% proof of what snake thought and felt, but i assume the game should more or less reflect his pov, and he cared, just thought that whatever losses can't be prevented are acceptable for a worthy cause, among soldiers and military people who signed up for it at least.

Venom's arc explained in a picture from the player's perspective

Playing MGSV:TPP you have 2 choices:

You can be good or bad. You can kill, destroy, use and do everything in your power to be the worst person alive. You can be kind, you can save animals, kids, soldiers, grow a family and be a respectable man.

There's actually no choice. There's no two-tracks. The ending is the same. History will see you as a villain. You are a villain. You are, currently, the perfect depiction of the most wanted and most evil man alive, according to the world.

You have no lever. You cannot stop this from happening. Either close your eyes or watch, the ending will be the same. Your life will end in misery. The only relief? Boss will pat your shoulder and let you die with a false sense of accomplishment. Congrats. That's the panthom pain everybody talks about.

trying to learn to draw miller from mgsv and pw concept arts. i figured that the game model looks kinda goofy no matter how much i turn the quality up, and most fan arts i like are an interpretation of miller rather than a close copy, hence the 2nd pic. it was fun to draw but i will need to learn a lot for it to look decent, lol. anyway i decided to post my drawings here no matter how much or little i like them, so here it is

this one was supposed to be better but i give up. might retry later, he doesn't even look angry enough(9

my favourite mgsv fan service moment, worthy of beating the final boss
