After a month of putting it off due to university, I finally finished this piece! I just really wanted to draw Sonic and Shadow, so I thought I'd draw them racing. Had a lot of fun with this one.

This tweet lives rent-free in my head now. Hands-down the best comment about the relationship between art and artist.

Ultraman: Rising (2024) - Film vs. Concept Art

“The moment when Emi is born: what does it feel like to see life for the first time? Well, maybe it would feel like a nursery, with a moon and the stars hanging from the ceiling of a nursery.” — Shannon Tindle

Man, I think the best and worst part of Knives’s character is just how compelling he is*

I get it. You get it. We all understand exactly how and why he is the way he is. So many people have put this idea into better words than I could. He witnessed an unspeakable horror at an incredibly young age. He knew he was different, that he was other, and a worry set deeply into his bones that humanity would reject him for being born who he is. 

And he was right. It was so much worse than he could have ever realized. He was born to be an object for humanity to use as they see fit. All he wanted was love and peace for himself and his brother. And after seeing that? What they did so mercilessly to Tesla? Who can blame him for not believing in any future with humanity in it. Who can imagine a future without unbelievable strife and prejudice when you’re outnumbered and are seen as an item to dissect and toy with as you see fit

And yet

And yet

In his fear, in his need to control and correct, the cycle continues. The abused becomes the abuser. He assaults his brother multiple times. He takes away Vash’s autonomy and manipulates his body without his consent. Hell he happily experiments with/tests and uses Vash’s body while unconscious. He says he loves Vash while refusing to hear a word coming out of his mouth. Because, if he has a moment of doubt, any hint of weakness, all of that anger slips away and he becomes that boy again–afraid and weak and alone

In his fear, he takes plants. He strips them of their independence and will, denying them their souls. Again, he uses the bodies of his siblings against their will. He displays their corpses to keep him angry instead of putting them to rest. He kills and breaks apart the body of his sister so that he doesn’t have to die, so that he can be reborn. He willfully denies the thoughts, dreams, and pains of his sisters and instead absorbs them, impregnates them, tries to kill them in the “right” way

In his fear, he drove humanity into hurting his kind more. He forced their hand into injuring and killing more plants than they’d ever dreamed of harming. He’s the one that put Vash into a constant position where he’s gaining mountains of scars. (His brother who, on the opposite end of the spectrum, has let the cycle of abuse continue while using himself as a shield instead of breaking free from the pattern.) He uses and discards the humans near him no matter the kindness and devotion they shows him

The same behavior Knives shows everybody and everything else

He’s awful. Absolutely sick and perverted and so stuck in his own mind that all he does is hurt and hurt and hurt

And yet

I get it. I’ve been traumatized to the point where all I want to do is cause pain in return. To feel that justice can exist and will come to pass, no matter the cost. To be so afraid that anger is the only safe emotion you can cling to. It’s what makes him one of the most compelling antagonists I’ve ever seen. Kudos to Nightow for fucking me up about Knives and his pain more by the day, honestly

*Except for ‘98 Knives lmao, that man is fabulously unhinged and overly dramatic about everything and I love him for it

[ID: Trigun comics in a sketchy style.

Image one, Vash lies with his head in Wolfwood's lap, angrily complaining, and Wolfwood smokes while looking exhausted. Then Wolfwood stuffs a donut into Vash's mouth and says "Eat," and Vash's face turns cartoony as he goes "nom."

Image two, Vash holds a box of donuts and looks curiously over Wolfwood's shoulder as he reads something off a map. Vash says something indistinct in response while holding a donut to Wolfwood's mouth, and Wolfwood turns to bite into it.

Image 3, In a more cartoony style Vash shouts "Leggo--" while a sharp-toothed Wolfwood, still holding the map and biting into the donut, scowls and refuses to let go. End ID]

Hello everyone!

Sayembara Benang Raja, a zine I hosted has finally been completed after months of work!

Our zine can be download in Gumroad and itch.io

This zine is all made by queer individuals from Indonesia. Despite our lgbt-friendly history in here, queer content and culture is now very looked down upon in Indonesia, so I made this zine as a way to raise Queer Indonesian's voices and get everyone's works out there. Please consider checking it out! Everyone worked so hard for this <3

Other than queer content, we also have a wide array of Indonesian culture in this zine, too!

Thank you all!
