How to Choose India's Top Manufacturers of Robotic Welding Machines

The modern industrial environment demands automation, efficiency, and precision more than ever. Robotic welding robots, which offer unmatched accuracy and speed in welding processes, have completely changed the manufacturing industry. Selecting the best robotic welding machine manufacturers in India is essential for companies trying to stay competitive. The most important things to take into account when choosing the ideal manufacturer for your requirements are covered in this article.

Recognizing the Value of Robotic Welding

Modern production relies heavily on robotic welding equipment, especially in industries like heavy machinery, aerospace, and automotive. By automating tedious operations, these devices improve worker safety, provide uniform weld quality, and cut down on material waste. The number of firms providing robotic welding solutions is growing along with the demand for these products. But not every manufacturer offers the same caliber of innovation, service, and quality.

Important Things to Think About When Selecting a Manufacturer

1. Credibility and Background

A manufacturer's experience and reputation are important determinants of its dependability. Reputable manufacturers with a track record of success are more likely to offer dependable after-sales support and top-notch equipment. Examine case studies, testimonials, and reviews from customers to determine the manufacturer's reputation in the market.

For example, Weldarc India has established a strong name in the Indian market thanks to its state-of-the-art fiber laser cutting machines. With years of experience and a wide range of products, companies like these frequently have the know-how to customize robotic welding systems to meet the demands of particular industries.

2. Innovation in Technology

With ongoing developments in automation, artificial intelligence, and precision welding methods, the field of robotic welding is expanding quickly. Research and development (R&D)-focused manufacturers are more likely to present creative solutions that can boost your manufacturing efficiency.

Seek out suppliers of robotic welding equipment with the newest technology available, such as real-time monitoring, adaptive control systems, and smooth connection with other automation systems. This technical advantage may completely alter the way that businesses compete in the marketplace.

3. Customization Abilities

When it comes to welding operations, every business has different needs. A one-size-fits-all strategy might not work. Prominent producers provide customization choices so that robotic welding robots can be customized to meet certain requirements. Modifiable features like software integration, specific welding heads, and machine size adjustments guarantee that the machine will work flawlessly as part of your production line.

Weldarc India, for instance, demonstrates their capacity to meet a variety of industrial needs by not only manufacturing fiber laser cutting machines but also providing a range of welding goods. It is important to have this flexibility when choosing a manufacturer.

4. After-Sale Assistance and Maintenance

Investing heavily in a robotic welding system requires constant support to keep it operating properly. Take into account the post-purchase services offered by the manufacturer, such as installation, training, upkeep, and repair. Reducing downtime and sustaining productivity can be greatly aided by having a readily available supply of spare parts and a customer support team that responds quickly.

It is better to engage with manufacturers who have a significant presence in India, such as those who provide extensive service networks. This local presence guarantees that you won't have to wait a long time to receive the assistance you require.

5. Economy of Cost

Even if it plays a big role, cost shouldn't be the only thing taken into account. Sometimes the best value isn't necessarily found in the cheapest alternative. Rather, concentrate on the machine's total cost-effectiveness, taking into account aspects like durability, energy efficiency, and the possibility of long-term savings through lower maintenance and higher output.

Examine the total cost of ownership for various manufacturers, accounting for the machine's anticipated lifespan, running expenses, and original investment. If a somewhat greater initial cost results in cheaper operating costs and a longer equipment life, then it might be justified.

6. Adherence to Industry Standards

Robotic welding equipment has to abide by strict industry norms and guidelines, especially when it comes to quality and safety. Verify that the manufacturer satisfies all applicable regulatory standards, including ISO certifications. This compliance protects the safety of your operations in addition to the machine's quality.

Long-term investment protection is ensured by manufacturers who adhere to the most recent industry standards and are more likely to produce machines that satisfy present and future regulatory needs.

Hi! I would love to see Wanderer! Reader with the Duwang Gang! (this is an AU where all of Crusaders lived btw) Reader now lives with Avdol & Iggy and has basically chilled out since SDC. Reader went to Morioh with Jotaro and Kakyoin.

Reader sometimes acts as an older brother to the gang. His sass and strong sense of justice has always prevailed in the form of tough love and taking said justice into his own hands. Because of his odd hat, he was known as the "Hat Guy" in Morioh. People would often say "Here comes the Hat Guy!"

Reader may have mellowed out over time, but old habits die hard.

(Reader smirks as he summons Ten of Swords as he approaches Kira who's cowering in fear)

Reader: Cry louder!

(I think Josuke's existance is becuase Jospeh got so drunk that he mistook Tomoko for Suzi Q)

Yeah, you had been adopted by Avdol after the events of SDC. You thought you'd never see the other agian, until Jotaro called Avdol and asked for you to join him and Kakyoin in Japan to help sort out the whole Josuke situation and the werid spirit photos Jospeh took.

So, you three are now in Morioh, looking for Josuke. When you do find him, you roll your eyes at his short temper. Once th Angelo problem is dealt with, Jotaro and Kakyoin want you to interact with people close to your age and learn how to be more social. Now, you've "befriended" the Duwang Gang and got sucked into looking for Kira. During your whole visit, people in Morioh called you "Hat Guy", you hated it, but you couldn't make them stop. You might have chilled out, but you harsh love style is still there, you just have more people to use it on.

💎Josuke💎

💎 Your meeting is just like the anime, him getting picked on and then beating the guy into the dirt

💎 While Kakyoin and Jotaro are concerned/ annoyed, you're just jugding his fighting technique

💎 After Josuke picks a fight with Jotaro, you two are told to keep each other company

💎 After the whole Angelo incident, you two get a bit closer... once Josuke stops you from trying to murder Angelo

💎 During the down time between Angelo and Kira, you work on him with his temper

💎 Once he tells you the story of his hairstyle, you have to teach him how to give someone a verbal ass beating if they insult his hair

💎 You have group lunches at Tonio's, in which you pay most of the time

💎 During the search for Kira, you have to act as his anchor, only to pick up your old revenge habits

💎 (Reader smirks as he summons Ten of Swords as he approaches Kira who's cowering in fear). Reader: Cry louder!... that worries him so much

💎 Josuke thinks you have a certain reason for your hat, so he doesn't movk it

💎 Will call you Hat Guy to mess with you

💎 Shows you video games, manga, etc

💎 Keeps you away from Yukako and Rohan, but you somehow end up need them anyway

💎 You're flashy yet somehow simple outfit confuses him so much, like... why is your hat so big and what's with the flowy fabric bits

💎 Ten of Swords makes him a bit nervous... like, this four armed sword welding robot Stand could hurt him if you want

💎 Calls you out on your more... violent tendencies, and concerning behavior regarding justice

💎 Takes your offer to help bring Kira to justice... but has to keep you from just murdering Kira in return

💎 When there is the problem with Hazamada, Josuke learns your sense of justice is... wrapped

💎 You give Josuke tough love, not "I'm being an abusive asshole and calling it tough love", but, actually tough love

💎 You both teach each other things, while taking digs at each other

💎 You both bring out the worse and most temperamental parts of each other, for everyone's distruction or benefit

💎 Has to teach you that, "no, kill your enemies is not an acceptable solution"

💎 When he learns your backstory and what happened with Dio, he feels a bit bad... like to the point where his mom takes you in while you, Jotaro, and Kakyoin are in Morioh

💎 The, "what is this?! Something your father clearly never gave you, a hug" is the right way to sum up the dynamic

______________________________________________________________

💚Koichi💚

💚 Your stoic expression creeps him out, you scare this poor boy

💚 He does his best not to let his fear show... but it's not easy

💚 He's already on edge after meeting the giants named Kakyoin and Jotaro, but your judging look doesn't help

💚 Yeah, you try to make him tougher, because you love his kindness... but he acts like a doormat and it drives you mad

💚 When he gets shot by the arrow and gets a Stand, you take it upon yourself to train him... but you're a bit of a bad teacher

💚 Your thoughts love for him, being less of a fucking doormat and less naive

💚 After he is rescued from being kidnapped by Yukako, and his Stand evolves... you kick up your training

💚 Koichi finds your outfit strange, but he doesn't say anything... outl loud

💚 He called you "Hat Guy" once, and your glare made him never so it again

💚 Asks you about Egypt and your adventures with the SDC

💚 He tries not look too deep into your backstory

💚 When he learns your backstory... he feels bad and introduces you to his sister and mom so you feel some more real love

💚 As the Kira situation gets worse, he starts to keep you from losing sight of your humanity

💚 After he gets attacked, he stills begs you not to kill Kira

💚 Thinks your outfit puts a target on your back, for thieves and Kira

💚 Tries to keep a large distance between you Rohan, and Yukako

💚 Ten of Swords scares the hell out of him... because, again, robot with four arms and swords = threat to safety when in the hands of emotionally unstable person

💚 You two make each other better, while he keeps you stable and you make sure he doesn't get pushed around

💚 He is more inclined to hang out with Kakyoin and you than Jotaro

💚 Shows you some manga, and helps you get more in touch with your Japanese origins

💚 Is worried about how those wooden sandals must mess up your feet

💚 Teaches you a bit more self control

💚 Let's you hang out with his dog, Police and makes sure you know the love of a none judgemental dog

Acceleracers HC’s! Road Trip Roles! Metal Maniac Edition!

Metal Maniacs

(Taro Kitano, Tork Maddox, Monkey McClurg, Porkchop Riggs, Mark Wylde)

+Bonus Round

(Doctor Tezla & Lani Tam)

Metal Maniacs

Taro Kitano - Taro is the mediator and is in charge of making sure the group is alive by the time they get to their destination. I love the Maniacs, but these idiots will pick a fight over the stupidest shit. Obviously they’re all friends, they’re welded, but when Porkchop starts snoring like a buzzsaw, and Wylde starts kicking his seat to get him to stop, someone HAS to step in. That’s why he’s also in charge of discreetly picking the seating arrangement. Before every trip he strategically packs everyone’s stuff in the van to where they basically have assigned seats if they want to easily reach their bags.

Tork Maddox - One of the drivers but due to his role as leader, he’s also in charge of planning the trip. Whether or not that plan is actually carried out exactly as written is anyone’s guess really. No matter what happens, he seems to always have a solution for it though. No gas station for miles and their tanks running low? Good thing he’s got one of those extra gas cans filled up. Someone (Wylde) in the back is getting cranky cause they haven’t eaten? Good thing he packed extra sandwiches because he knows how his guys get. Let it also be known that Tork WILL stop if he sees someone having car troubles and he thinks that they can help.

Monkey McClurg - Like Shirako, I feel like Monkey’s roll is pretty obvious. He’s the mechanic!!! Before every road trip, Monkey is elbow deep in whatever van like vehicle they’ve decided to fix up and make their own. From oil changes to tune ups, this guy is ON IT. Nevermind the fact that his tool bag takes up at least half a seat… Luckily, he’s a pretty scrawny guy so it doesn’t bother him too much. Even when he’s not working on the van he’s thinking of ways to make it better. Monkey is also the main guy Tork shoves forward when they stop to help a stranded driver. He’ll grumble about it, but he really does enjoy helping people out. Especially if the people they’re helping are attractive.

Porkchop Riggs - Porkchop is driver number two! Him and Tork switch off anytime the other needs a break. If it’s an overnighter, he’s usually on the night shift because of his aforementioned buzzsaw like snoring. Porkchop can sleep through a lot so when the musics on and the windows are rolled down you can almost tune him out in the daytime. His secondary job is planning their stops. I like to think that either Mama Chop or Papa Chop (or both) were truckers so this man has all the insider information on what stops to take and which are better left in the rear view mirror. He has never missed with his roadside diner selections either.

Mark Wylde - Road rage connoisseur. You ever have that friend that flips off asshole drivers for you? That’s Markie. It’s his favorite source of entertainment on long drives. He may not be the one driving, but he’ll be yelling out the window at people like he is. He is a classic shit starter. I love Mark to death, but genuinely, he will argue with anyone about anything. When he’s not being a little shit, however, he is an excellent source of endless entertainment. He’s somehow always able to keep a conversation going, and between his endless sarcasm and witty comebacks, it’s never dull.

Bonus Round

Doctor Tezla - Doctor Tezla travels with one person and one person alone…or should I say robot? No matter what, he’s always got his emotional support Gig with him. It also helps that Gig can simply connect to whatever car they take and essentially autopilot it all the way to their destination so that Tezla can continue working or catch up on some much needed sleep. Sometimes Gig will purposely make Tezla a decaf cup of coffee for the road so he’s more likely to pass out halfway through the drive.

Lani Tam - Okay so I may have lied… Doctor Tezla USED to only travel with Gig, but now that Lani has taken up a role at the Acceledrome, he’s hesitantly extended an invitation to her as well. Mainly because when they’re on the verge of a breakthrough, he doesn’t want lack of communication to be the reason he couldn’t reach the Accelerons quicker. Lani sorta loves autopilot Gig too- especially when Tezla inevitably passes out from prolonged sleep deprivation and she can catch up on reading or even do a little crochet. Lani is also the type to pick up souvenirs from wherever their destination is. It’s like Christmas when she gets back because she’s just handing out keychains, shot glasses, and T-shirts from wherever they visited.

[horns-the-demon]

thinking ab pacrim again

pls may we reread :)

*slides in like a month later*

I'm so sorry, please take this as an apology for while AO3 is down

It happened for the first time when Seb’s parents were still children. A massive monster the size of a small mountain rose out of the sea, like something from humanity’s collective worst nightmare. It attacked San Francisco in the United States, and destroyed so much. For six long days, it carved a path of destruction, killing millions and flattening three cities. At first it was just the American armed forces trying to bring it down, but then it became everyone. Desperate to stop the loss of their people and country, the Americans accepted help from any military that would send it. Everything imaginable was thrown at it: troops, tanks, artillery, jets.

It still wasn’t enough.

In the end, the only things that brought the gigantic beast down were a series of nuclear bombs. They killed it, but made the entire area around where San Francisco had once stood uninhabitable. Even worse was the monster: it was destructive even in death. Its blood proved toxic, poisoning the environment and causing sickness to break out across the western coast of North America.

Still, the monster was dead. The world grieved, buried what few toxic bodies remained in welded-steel caskets, and attempted to move on.

But then six months later, it happened again in Manila, devastating the Filipino capital. And then four months after that, in Cabo San Lucas. And then in Sydney.

It became evident that wherever these monsters were coming from had many more to send. It was clear that whatever had caused this wasn’t a one time thing: it wouldn’t stop happening.

Countries bordering the Pacific Ocean banded together to create a solution. While nuclear bombs and armies could bring the monsters down, those took time that they didn’t have (not when every minute they spent on dry land was measured in tens of thousands of deaths), and destroyed almost as much as the monsters- dubbed Kaiju by the Japanese, which stuck- did. It would be different, maybe, if the Kaiju ever went ashore in unpopulated areas, but they didn’t: every time one appeared, it made a bee-line for a major population center right on the coast.

Those countries created a new organization: the Pan Pacific Defense Corps, tasked with one goal: to kill Kaiju and stop their destructive rampages by any means necessary.

The means that they came up with, initially, seemed stupid.

The PPDC brought forward the suggestion of building massive mech-robots to fight the Kaiju. It was deemed laughable by many countries around the world, especially those not bordering the Pacific, who pulled out, claiming that the matter clearly wasn’t being taken seriously. And yet, there was a spark of brilliance in the idea: robots that large would be capable of going toe-to-toe and blow-for-blow with a Kaiju. They could kill Kaiju without spreading nuclear radiation all over the surrounding area and necessitating the creation of another exclusion zone where it fell. And by relying on bludgeoning and heat-based weapons, the robots could even kill Kaiju without spilling their toxic blood.

The nations around the Pacific were not dissuaded. The idea was the best they had, so the project was greenlit and the robots- called Jaegers, meaning ‘hunters’- were built. At first, it was decided that a single person would pilot them, but the neural load proved too strong for them to carry on their own. So instead, a two-pilot system was implemented, with each one controlling one half of the Jaeger. 

In order to ensure the pilots stayed synchronized, they began to use technology to allow pilots to Drift, temporarily melding their minds so they could share their memories, instincts, and emotions with each other, acting as one cohesive being to control the Jaeger. And, amazingly enough, the Jaegers worked. They stopped the destruction of Seattle in its tracks. They pushed the Kaiju back, and for the first time since San Francisco was destroyed, people on the Pacific coast could breathe a little easier.

The rest of the world got a firsthand look at the Jaegers in all their glory when Seb’s parents were teenagers. He couldn’t count how many times they’d told him and his siblings about it when they were growing up.

A Kaiju emerged, but left the Pacific without attacking any cities so no one realized. It travelled all the way to the Atlantic, where its presence became known when it leveled Lisbon and then moved further inland.

At massive cost, two teams of Jaegers were transported to Portugal to put the Kaiju down, and put it down they did.

That was when Europe bought into the Jaeger program, and when the world saw what Jaegers could really do.

(Seb realized, when he was older, that apparently the world didn’t sit up and take notice when they saved Ho Chi Minh City. Or Kuala Lumpur. Or Taipei, Tijuana, Shanghai, Lima, or Davao. Jaegers were only a big deal, apparently, when they were stopping a continent who had called their creation a disgrace from being flattened.)

It was European nations re-entering into the PPDC who raised the idea of creating pilots, just the same as much of the world had pooled their resources to create the Jaegers in the first place. Building pilots who were built from the ground up for combat, who could drift with each other as easily as breathing. Pilots with faster reactions, better instincts, and more endurance.

Living weapons built to use the metal ones that had already been built.

Monsters, to match the monsters that had been invading Earth.

They mixed animal DNA into human genomes, and then edited out the things that weren’t necessary to piloting a Jaeger. Sure, this new wave of pilots were shaped like humans, and kind of looked like them, too (allegedly- no images of the pilots were ever made public), but that was only so they could fit into already-existing Jaegers better.

And the hybrid pilots were good. Better than the human pilots had been, even. It took about a decade to get them up and running, but the first generation of them had excellent results. Jaegers were only as good as their pilots, of course, and hybrid pilots were the best.

They felt nothing, knew nothing outside of fighting Kaiju, and would rather die than risk defeat. They were hardy enough to handle the physical strain that came from piloting a Jaeger without even thinking about it. They went after Kaiju, actually living up to the Jaeger name- part soldiers, and part hunters. It was decided that it was more humane to phase out human pilots: why risk human lives, when the hybrids were right there? They fought Kaiju better than people did, and at the end of the day, they weren’t people.

Individual countries sponsored the creation of hybrid pilots, just as nations would shoulder the load of designing and building Jaegers. Germany made one of the first, and hands down the best: designated Michael Schumacher, a synthetically developed human mixed with a Tibetan mastiff. He started killing Kaiju right about a decade before Seb was born, representing Germany in the war against the Kaiju just like the American-, Chinese-, Japanese-, Mexican-, Canadian-, Peruvian-, Vietnamese-, Philippine-, Taiwanese-, Malaysian-, Russian-, and Australian-made Jaegers did.

That was the balance, it was decided. Countries that had more to lose spent most of their money on building Jaegers, while countries further removed from the risks funded the creation of their pilots.

Monsters built to fight monsters.

Very fitting.

Or it would be, if it wasn’t all based on a lie.

Mark returns to himself slowly.

It takes time, coming out of a bad Drift like that: hearing takes about a minute, vision takes longer. The nausea lasts for anywhere from one hour to twelve, and if the skin-prickling sensation of wrongness fades, it takes longer than four months, two weeks, eight days, six hours, and approximately twenty-one minutes, give or take a few.

Mark would know.

He remains stationary on the hard metal slab he’s laid on. It isn’t comfortable- his tail always ends up getting crushed a bit, no matter what he does. That’s to be expected: Mark is a Jaeger pilot. He wasn’t made for comfort, he was made for fighting Kaiju.

Mark hasn’t fought a Kaiju in four months, two weeks, eight days, six hours, and approximately twenty-one minutes, give or take a few.

Absentmindedly, he listens in on the conversations around him: they talk over him, about him. He gives no indication he’s listening. They don’t like it when he does that. But he has better hearing than they do, and they talk about him less than fifteen feet where he lies. He can stop the ears on top of his head from twitching or swivelling to hear them more clearly, but he can’t stop himself from hearing.

“That’s the eighty-third failed Drifting attempt. What happened this time?” says one of them. That voice is harsh, the lingering scent of cigarette smoke curls in the air around him. The man is a Marshall, but typically Mark just calls him ‘Sir’.

“I don’t know, sir,” says another, audibly frustrated. A scientist, one of the higher-ranked ones. Mark usually calls him ‘Doctor’, or ‘Sir’. It’s hard to tell what he’s going to want any given day. “He was designed to be easy to Drift with. This isn’t supposed to happen at all. We’re pairing him with police officers and enlisted personnel from every military branch we can tap from. They know how to follow orders, he doesn’t even have any feelings to get in the way. It couldn’t be any easier, but he still keeps messing it up. I think it’s time for us to pull the plug and admit that he’s just admit that he’s unsalvageable.”

“Come on, Dr. Tetzlaff. You must admit he’s been around for a while. The newer models have plenty of advantages, but money can’t buy experience like his.”

“Sir, does it matter? All the experience in the world is useless if he is, and if he can’t Drift he’s useless. Worse than useless, actually. He’s just siphoning resources that could be better used. I don’t even know why we bother feeding him. What a waste!”

“So your recommendation is that we scrap him?”

“Yes, sir,” the scientist says without hesitation. “At least then we can dissect him and see what the issue is. If there’s a fundamental flaw we’re missing with the designated pairs, we need to know as soon as possible.  We can't lose the whole advantage of hybrid pilots just to make them work a bit better. Yes, the designated pairs synchronize better and that synchronization is great, but they were designed to be easy to drift with first. We still need them to be able to pair with a different asset if told to. We can’t risk losing a whole team if one of them gets themselves killed.” Ah, yes. The reason Mark is here. Four months, two weeks, eight days, six hours, and approximately twenty-two minutes ago, give or take a few, Mark’s other half died. They had been together forever- they were made for each other, made to work together. But four months, two weeks, eight days, six hours, and approximately twenty-two minutes ago, Mark got blindsided while fighting a Kaiju.

It wasn’t fair- he was the one to make a mistake. It was Mark’s hemisphere, his half of the Jaeger. He should have paid the price.

But he didn’t.

Because Jenson took the blow meant for him. Jenson died terrified and in agony. And Mark felt it all.

Jenson died four months, two weeks, eight days, six hours, and approximately twenty-two minutes ago, give or take a few, and Mark may as well have died with him.

“Alright,” the Marshall says, followed by the sound of a finger tapping on a glass screen. “It’s decided, he’s getting decommissioned tomorrow.” “Do we have to wait that long?” asks the scientist. His tone is almost a whine. The chip in Mark's back has zapped him for much less.

“Yes. You know how Pacific countries protest when we decommission one of theirs. The Australians are going to throw enough of a tantrum as it is, even once we explain the situation to them. Christ, if only they could all be as easy to work with as the Germans or the Finns.”

Then, the Marshall raises his voice. They never seem to realize that they don't have to, that Mark can hear them even if they whispered from across the room. It always seems strange to Mark that they designed him with better hearing but only ever seem to use it to hurt him.

"Hey, Webber! Heel."

Mark opens his eyes and sits up mechanically. He doesn't waste any extra movement getting his tail out of the way, though the motion crushes it further. What does it matter if he bruises it? He'll finally be dead by this time tomorrow.

He stands up and follows the pair of them back to his quarters, his back straight and his eyes pointed straight ahead the whole way. Despite the fact that they've just signed his death warrant, he maintains a proper heel- just behind them to make it clear that it's them who are leading him, but not beside and not in front.

He’s only ever in front if there's a Kaiju in the way.

As they walk through the Shatterdome towards the small, cramped rooms where the pilots are kept when not in use, the other humans who work in the Shatterdome stare when they pass. They stop and watch as the Marshall and the Scientist walk by, and watch Mark, too, as he walks behind them. He doesn’t know why they watch him- he’s just a sad excuse for a hybrid. Nothing more to see.

Heedless of the stares, the pair of humans in front of him continue to talk.

“Well, even if they drag their feet on scrapping him, this at least means we don’t have to feed him any more, right?”

“Unfortunately not, sir. Lethal injections don’t work well on an empty stomach.”

“Ah, well, that’s still just one more meal and then we can divert those resources elsewhere and get what we can from what’s left of him. Although, to be honest, I’m not quite sure what you’re looking for, Doctor,” the Marshall said. “From the looks of things, Button was malfunctioning at the end there. There was no logical reason for him to have taken a blow like that.” “What can I tell you, sir? They’re just dumb animals. We do our best to get them to act right, but sometimes all the training in the world can’t completely beat that into their heads. I will say, though, that Button’s malfunction just makes Webber’s body more valuable. If there’s any pilot that’s going to have the same issues, it’s the other half of Button’s pair, especially since their minds were linked at the time he did.” “Shame there was nothing of Button left to recover. If only the stupid thing drowned himself or died in the Jaeger so we could have taken a look at him.”

Mark has to fight to keep his steps even and his breathing level. He can’t let his heart rate rise, he can’t let the chip in his back shock him again if it gets too high. If Mark starts letting it, he’ll never stop.

It’s difficult, though, when they talk about Jenson. Mark has no issues being talked about himself: they’re right, he is useless like this, and he has been malfunctioning for four months, two weeks, eight days, six hours, and approximately twenty-seven minutes, give or take a few. 

But Jenson didn’t malfunction. Jenson was good- the best of them. Jenson was the best thing in the world.

It wasn’t Jenson’s fault he died. Mark was there with him in the Jaeger, it was his job to keep Jenson safe like it was his job to keep Tokyo safe. Mark had failed and so Jenson had died.

The only malfunctioning one is him.

He doesn’t like it when they talk about Jenson like this.

But they don’t like it when he talks back.

He can’t do anything to them if they do something he doesn’t like. That was the first thing he learned when he was small, with too-large ears and too-bright eyes and a too-long tail clutched in both hands for comfort: the humans will do what they want to do. It’s best to just go along with it. Things will go back to being sane once they lose interest and leave you alone.

If he does something they don’t like, they can do quite a lot to him. They can shock him hard and make him scream. They can send a light electrical current through his body to freeze him in place and leave him there until they think he’s learned not to do it again. They used to be able to take Jenson from him, or him from Jenson.

Mark was good. Mark never let that happen.

There was no revenge or vindication that could ever feel good enough to justify being separated from Jenson.

That was what he told himself his entire life, only to bring that habit to an abrupt halt four months, two weeks, eight days, six hours, and approximately thirty-seven minutes ago, give or take a few.

“Hey, animals are going to do what animals do,” the scientist sighed, shrugging loosely. “They’re going to die in stupid, illogical ways. It isn’t all lost, though. Webber could have the same problem, and this malfunction he’s exhibiting could just be that.”

They draw closer to Mark-and-Jenson’s quarters (it will never stop being Jenson’s, not so long as Mark lives) and Mark thinks he is nearly safe. The Shatterdome is a massive building and its layout was designed to make things easier for leadership first, scientists second, and the massive teams of people that kept their Jaegers repaired and in good working order third. Hybrid pilots came last. The trip from the Drift theatres to the pilots’ quarters has taken a while, but it is nearly over, and then Mark will be able to lie down, close his eyes, and wait for tomorrow.

Nearly safe isn’t safe, though. Mark should know this by now.

“You know, the more you talk the more interested I am in seeing the results of Webber’s autopsy,” the Marshall says. “He was always a bit stronger than Button, and could’ve overpowered him physically if he wanted. Do you think there was any way he could have done that in the Drift?” “I don’t quite understand what you mean, sir.” “Well you said Button taking the hit for Webber was illogical, but from where Webber is standing, it wouldn’t have been. If one of them was guaranteed to die, why not make sure it’s the other guy, right?”

Mark needs them to move faster. His stomach is turning, and he’s going to start heaving soon.

“You know, that makes sense,” the scientist says, “and it is possible. Honestly, it’s what I would do if it were me.” Mark would never do that. Ever. Even if he was willing to sacrifice another person’s life to save his own (he isn’t), he would never trade Jenson’s. There is no force on the planet that could make him, especially not fear for his own life. That is why it is Mark, and not the scientist, in the Jaeger. That is why they don’t put humans in Jaegers.

“Honestly, I think if he was smart enough to figure something like that out on his own, I’d actually have to respect him a bit.”

They’re at his-and-Jenson’s door. The Marshall opens it, though he doesn’t need to: Mark can do it, as can anyone else on base. It’s an illusion of privacy, nothing more.

“Webber, in. Stay,” the man barks, once again much louder than needed, and in Mark goes to stay.

And then the door closes and he is finally alone.

Mark sinks down the wall, tilting his head back against the solid surface once he’s seated and closing his eyes. It’s both easy and hard to be back in the room.

On one hand, it’s the one place in the entire Shatterdome that’s his. This is his territory, this is where he can relax as much as he ever can. He doesn’t have to stop his ears from swivelling or his tail from twitching. He can show as much tooth as he wants, he can let his shoulders slump.

There are no eyes on him here. According to Michael and Mika, they used to monitor the pilots everywhere, but eventually stopped when they proved to be incredibly boring when left to their own devices. Apparently, there are only so many times you can watch something sleep, or eat, piss, or stare at a wall before it starts to be excruciatingly monotonous. Go figure.

To be fair, they’re a fairly boring bunch, the hybrid Jaeger pilots of the Tokyo Shatterdome.

Occasionally, when it’s quiet, they’ll hang out- they have to go into their quarters if they’re told to, but they only have to stay there if they’re ordered. They’ll get shocked if they try to leave the general area, but the chips can’t differentiate well between individual sets of quarters.

Mark hasn’t hung out with the others too much in the last four months, two weeks, eight days, six hours, and approximately thirty-nine minutes, give or take a few. It’s fair. He’s been rotten company.

And he’s been deteriorating in front of all of their eyes. They all know he’s been dying for months, has been since Jenson died. They didn’t need to go through this whole farce with police officers and military personnel from the outside world. If anyone had thought to ask the other pilots, they all could have told them that Mark would never be able to Drift with another person, so they should euthanize him now and save time.

It’s the truth: Mark was made for Jenson. He was made to be Jenson’s. They were a pair- a designated pair. Everything about them had been tailor-made to complement the other perfectly.

No one else can be inside Mark’s head, not once he’d had Jenson in there.

Mark can’t do it. Furthermore, he won’t allow it.

So if he didn’t just die, he was going to be decommissioned soon, anyways. They’d all known it right from when he’d woken up after losing Jenson. The others had to emotionally detach themselves from him during his last time alive in order to stay sane. It’s fine. It’s exactly what Mark would have done, too, if faced with an unfixable basemate.

It’s nice to be alone, no matter how loud his own thoughts are. It is still difficult to be here, though.

Mark has barely cleaned in the last four months, two weeks, eight days, six hours, and approximately forty-one minutes, give or take a few. He’s lucky they don’t have any janitors for the pilots. They’re responsible for keeping their own quarters in whatever level of cleanliness they desire. 

Ordinarily, it’s somewhat difficult: they live in the bowels of a building right on the coastline, in a deepwater harbor. It’s cold no matter what. The ceiling and the walls all leak. They have to be careful to avoid mold.

But the lack of cleaning, other than what Mark has dragged himself into doing over the last four months, two weeks, eight days, six hours, and approximately forty-two minutes, give or take a few, means that he’s been able to leave their room the way he wants.

Almost everything is exactly the way they left it that night, when the alarms sounded and Mark and Jenson suited up, were strapped into their Jaeger, and set out to fight a Kaiju. It was the exact same thing they’d done hundreds of times: the Tokyo Shatterdome is the closest one to the Breach, and the busiest by a good margin.

Except what had happened out there hadn’t been like any of the other hundreds of times they’d done it. Mark and Jenson in their Jaeger, Horizon Watcher, had been running point. Fernando and Stoffel had been there as backup in Wicked Wildcat, under orders not to engage unless the situation was critical. That was all routine: no use in causing combat damage to two Jaegers if not strictly necessary.

The Kaiju had been called Edgehunter. It was slippery and serpentine. Hard to nail down. It had limbs, but didn’t use them much, preferring to swim like a massive, wickedly-fast eel. It was badly suited to Horizon Watcher’s strengths: Mark and Jenson were best at hand-to-hand combat, and had a plasma cannon as backup. Using a Jaeger with a blade somewhere on it would have been the smarter option.

It wasn’t like bad strategic matchups were out of the ordinary, though. They were good at what they did, the expectation was that they would adjust and win anyways.

Bhat wasn’t what had happened that horrible day. They’d had Edgehunter in a hold between their mech’s giant fists, and then it had slipped out.

Mark is a hybrid. A wolf hybrid. He is supposed to have good vision. 

But there was no moon that night. The sea was dark, barely illuminated by the floodlights on Horizon Watcher’s head and shoulders. It was stormy, too. With the rain soaking their visor the way it was, the visibility was too low for even Mark to function. He lost track of the Kaiju somewhere in the ink-black waters of the Pacific Ocean.

And then it had exploded out of those waters, finally using its limbs to power a massive leap and taking him completely off-guard. It had landed on Horizon Watcher before they’d had a chance to do much more to raise an arm to try and shield themselves, an effort that had failed completely. The Kaiju latched on with its legs, clamping down and hanging on, while clawing ferociously at the Jaeger’s head.

Titanium screeched as it was rended open, and Mark and Jenson both screamed with it, feeling as though it was their head having a hole ripped into it. It was always like this- they linked together in the Drift, yes, but they linked with the massive robot they piloted, too. Most injuries were easy enough to ignore: there was always pain when the Jaeger’s knuckles met the tough flesh of a Kaiju, or when they were hit or knocked over or bitten or scraped or clawed, but it was low-grade. If there was one upside to the chips implanted in them it was how familiar those made them with pain. Most things, they could shake off as if nothing had happened.

This wasn’t like that. It was horrible, so agonizing that Mark couldn’t even think straight.

But then it got worse. The Kaiju reached into the cockpit, and then the Jaeger pitched sideways, and then-

And then even though it had jumped on Mark’s side, even though it had made a hole on Mark’s side, the Jaeger throwing its entire weight to the other side meant that he wasn’t the one speared by its claws and dragged, screaming, out of the cockpit.

Mark and Jenson were more than just Drift Compatible- they’d shared each other’s minds and memories hundreds of times. Mark knew Jenson’s brain as well as his own.

That must have been why he felt everything that happened after that, even though the neural handshake had been broken and they were no longer actively Drifting. That must have been why Mark still felt Jenson’s stomach-turning mixture of mortal terror and acceptance of his own end.

And then he felt it as the Kaiju pulled Jenson off its claw and into its massive mouth, taking so much of Jenson’s blood and skin and organs with it. Once it bit down, Mark didn’t feel anything else.

Afterwards, he heard secondhand about what he’d done. How he’d taken control of the Jaeger solo, used one hand to wrench Edgehunter’s jaw open, before grabbing Jenson’s side of the controls to unload Horizon Watcher’s entire clip of plasma cannon shots down its throat with the other, frying the Kaiju from the inside out.

How he’d walked the Jaeger, alone, to the nearest patch of shoreline, and come crashing down just outside some tiny Japanese fishing village he still didn’t know the name of once he couldn’t take it any further. How he’d terrified civilians by staggering his way out of the still-open head of the Jaeger, passing out on the beach about fifteen feet away from it.

Mark doesn’t remember any of it.

All he remembers is waking up in the medical bay, alone and in pain. He still felt where Edgehunter’s claw had pierced Jenson’s body, still felt an ache in his bones from where the Kaiju’s teeth had grinded his co-pilot, his partner, his other half into bloody paste. Worst of all, he still felt the empty hole in his mind where Jenson’s warm, comforting presence used to be, even outside of the Drift.

Mark was alone in his head for the first time since he met Jenson.

Over the next four months, two weeks, eight days, six hours, and approximately forty-six minutes, give or take a few, none of that has faded. Even now, his bones still ache, his torso still stings, and his head still screams over the loss of Jenson. It all still feels just as agonizing as the first second: not dulling, not going away, and definitely not getting any less persistent.

Mark has spent four months, two weeks, eight days, six hours, and approximately forty-six minutes, give or take a few, going through life as a walking, talking echo of his other half’s last moments.

He doesn’t know how he could possibly learn to function like this. He doesn’t want to find out. All he wants to do is get one last injection, and then fade away to nothing. Even if there is nothing after that, it will still be a lot better than living life without Jenson by his side.

The room is strange to be in. Though he can’t stop physically feeling the lack of his partner, if he uses his sight alone, he can almost pretend it’s like he never lost Jenson. There’s the shirt Jenson had flung over the emergency light and then left there- he always hated to be woken up quickly, regardless of whether they were being deployed or not. There is his pillow, arranged the way that the fox hybrid had preferred it. There’s his pair of dog tags, hanging off the end of the mirror above the sink- Jenson almost never wore his, no matter how many times it got him in trouble. True to form, he’d left them there as they got changed out of their pyjamas and then ran to suit up, neither of them knowing they were doing it for the last time. There are the two beds they’d pushed together to form one, with the sheets and mattresses and pillows still rumpled from how they’d left them that night.

Mark hasn’t touched the bed since. He knows, even without trying, that it will be too big for him alone. He can’t sleep on it, but he can’t disturb it, either. The faint outline of Jenson’s body preserves the illusion that the man that made it isn’t gone. If he pretends hard enough, it almost looks like Jenson has only stepped out for a moment, and will be back soon to make more noise, more messes, and more imprints on their bed.

If he sleeps on the floor, he can preserve the sight a little longer.

The problem is (always is) that Mark is a hybrid. His senses are excellent. He can’t stop himself from using his other ones.

The room is far too quiet to have Jenson anywhere in the vicinity. If they didn’t have someone around who could make him hurt for it, he was always talking, laughing, or humming to himself. Jenson had snored, too. He was comfortingly noisy even in his sleep.

Moreover, Jenson’s scent has faded so much that it only barely clings to anything any more, covered up by Mark’s own. That alone shatters any illusion that Mark tries to cling to.

Already, things are starting to dwindle from Mark’s mind, mundane little things that he didn’t appreciate nearly enough while he had them. He can’t remember quite how many freckles Jenson had on his nose. He can’t remember what the exact shade of blue Jenson’s eyes were, or the specific way his cheeks scrunched when he smiled, really smiled, big and beautiful and all for Mark.

How can Mark not remember that smile? He had treasured almost nothing in the world more than that- not his life, not their Jaeger, not his own body. Nothing, outside of Jenson himself. How is he already forgetting it? How can he even dare to continue breathing, how can he think he deserves it after-

There is a knock at Mark-and-Jenson’s door.

At first he thinks he’s imagining it.

But no, it happens again: a light knock-knock-knock from the metal door to their room.

This isn’t normal. No one knocks, outside of the other hybrid pilots, and there’s very little chance they come and talk to him tonight. The Marshall and the scientist weren’t quiet when they’d walked through the pilots’ quarters. They’d discussed their plans for Mark loudly enough that the others would have heard. The only reason they’d be here now would be to see Mark one last time, which is unlikely. 

Michael and Mika probably won’t: they’ve seen so many pilots die over the years. Doing things like saying goodbye if given the chance will only drive them insane. Lewis and Nico likely won’t, either. He and Jenson had been friendly with them, but that team is younger, and less used to loss. They will take cues on how to deal with it from Michael and Mika, the two oldest hybrid pilots remaining in the world. That is a good choice. They need to keep their heads focused as much as possible, especially since they’re the only other designated pair at the Tokyo Shatterdome: like Mark and Jenson were made for each other, so too were Lewis and Nico. They need to be on their A-game if they don’t want to end up like he has.

Fernando and Stoffel probably won’t. It doesn’t matter how many times Mark tells Fernando that he doesn’t blame them, that they’d been too far away to help and that the situation had gone sideways too fast for them to have any hope of responding. That they had been following orders just like every other time they’d done this, and there had been no indication that this time there would be a price to pay for obedience.

Mark doesn’t blame them. Mark blames no one but himself.

But Fernando feels too much, he always has. He takes losses personally and internalizes them. Stoffel is often good at pulling him out of his spirals, but against something like losing another pilot he’d known for almost a decade he won’t be able to do much.

Fernando doesn’t believe Mark when he says he doesn’t blame them. Hopefully he can start to believe it one day, but Mark doesn’t think he’ll be alive to see it.

Still, it could be Fernando at the door. Mark won’t turn down a chance to console his closest friend still living.

He opens the door.

It is not Fernando.

It is not a pilot at all.

The person standing at the door is small and slight. He’s shorter than Mark or Jenson, perhaps around the same height as Lewis, Nico, Michael, or Mika. He is taller than Fernando, but that isn’t surprising: everyone is taller than Fernando. Honestly, his height isn’t unusual for the black-haired humans that work all over the Shatterdome, but his hair isn’t black- it’s golden in the light of the hallway, and curly. The eyes looking up at Mark are blue, somewhat like Jenson’s but a little less grey, and wider, too.

He has no ears poking out from underneath his hair like most of the pilots do. It doesn’t look like he has a tail, either. There are no markings on his skin, no claws in the place of his fingernails, and his jaw doesn’t sit like there he has any fangs.

There isn’t anything to distinguish him from humans, to mark him as humanoid but not all the way there.

That’s because he isn’t just humanoid. He isn’t a hybrid at all, he’s a human.

And yet.

“Hallo,” he says, in a soft voice. “I have something I’d like to discuss with you, if you have time. Can I come in for a moment please?”

His voice is strange. He speaks similarly to how Michael does. Mark focuses on that, rather than how taken aback he is by the whole thing. This man in front of him is clearly a human. And yet, despite his obvious humanity, he hasn’t barged into Mark-and-Jenson’s room, even though it’s technically his right. He isn’t speaking around Mark, or giving him any orders, really. He’s looking Mark in the eye. They never do that.

[mushroompoisoning]

copy and paste of the ultrakill section of a school assignment I did today. because I yapped about the game for over 1000 words and apparently its coherent so. this is all addressed to my history teacher who knows nothing about the game thats why its so vague

The two media I’m picking are pretty opposite, but bear with me. The first one is an indie video game called ULTRAKILL. It’s a retro style first person shooter where you play as a blood-powered war machine descending into Dante's Inferno with the goal of killing everything there. I know it sounds like those gorey games that adults hate because they’re violent for violences sake, but again, bear with me. I find it hard to explain exactly the fascinating way that the game tells both its main story and the small, self-contained stories hidden around. Of course, you, as the player, are involved in the main story, but not as the protagonist like most stories have. If anything, you aren't a character in the story at all. To explain, I’ll have to jump into the heavy anti-war themes of the game. 

      The game takes place after humanity’s extinction and an era they called the “New Peace,” which came after the “Final War.” During the Final War, humanity had begun to build machines powered by blood. The player - a robot only known as v1 - was the final machine built during the war, and never used in combat. Humanity’s creations had destroyed the planet, and all the surviving humans of the New Peace lived atop city-destroying monoliths they had built and called Earthmovers. These massive robots - despite being large enough to hold cities on their backs - were also powered primarily by blood; the insides of them covered in meat like a living thing. All the robot enemies you encounter in the game bleed and explode into meat, as if they were biological. This is all a lot of exposition, but I swear it’s important.

      Themes of anti-war are present throughout the entire game, but it only truly becomes impossible to avoid when you reach the layer of Violence. In the second level, you encounter an enemy called the Gutterman. It’s the first real war machine aside from yourself that you’ve met on your journey - equipped with a shield and gatling gun. Reading about it in the terminals tells you that they were one of the first blood power machines built during the war, and that humanity hadn't found a way to keep blood fresh. Their solution was to weld an involuntary, nearly comatose person inside a coffin on the machine’s back, supplying it with constant fuel. Morbid, I know. But the real tragedy of the Gutterman comes from a poem hidden in the same level you first meet them. The poem is written by one of these war machines, and addressed to the person fueling it. It refers to that person as its mother, and laments about its regret and the hatred it feels for itself for how it's hurting them, and how they must hate it just as much. The poem ends with the machine confessing that it killed its own fuel source out of guilt. This isn't the only show of emotion from the robots you meet in the game. For some examples: a machine that builds itself a humanoid body for no reason other than its own joy, and would rather destroy itself entirely than let someone break it; a robot that bows to you and holds a grudge against you after you beat it and take its arm, but always remains sportsmanlike; a machine with an obsessive hoarding issue, you get the idea. Every enemy in the game has some sort of characterization, something that makes them all seem human. The only person with no characterization - aside from a single line of text not spoken aloud, which will be relevant - is v1; the player.

      The player has no character, no role in this story beyond dishing out bloodshed. No matter what it is faced with, it kills and keeps moving. As I mentioned before, v1’s only dialogue is simply “You’re not getting away this time.” to a boss enemy which got away the first time you fought it. Despite everything, it remains solely dedicated to its task. In another level in Violence you find a poem directed from hell itself to v1, and I think I should give that poem in full. I swear all this is going somewhere. The poem reads:

      “This is the only way it could have ended. War no longer needed its ultimate practitioner. It had become a self-sustaining system. Man was crushed under the wheels of a machine created to create the machine created to crush the machine. Samara of cut sinew and crushed bone. Death without life. Null uroboros. All that remained is war without reason.

      A magnum opus, a cold tower of steel. A machine built to end war is always a machine built to continue war. You were beautiful, outstretched like antennas to heaven. You were beyond your creators. You reached for God, and you fell. None were left to speak your eulogy. No final words. No concluding statement. No point. Perfect closure.

      This is the only way it should have ended.”

      You find the book on the back of the Earthmover, minutes before you destroy it. Hell speaks to the player as it seems to condemn you for how far you’ve made it, how much destruction you’ve caused and how much more you will cause. Yet, whether you read this book or not, you continue on. This is the part where I get to my point. The player doesn't have a character role in the story, but instead is a thematic element, a living allegory. You play as a representation of cruel, uncaring war, with all individual humanity removed. You play as the ultimate enemy, the final boss as everything tries to stop you, but, as you are repeatedly told: it's too late for that.

      Part of the tagline for the game is “blood is fuel,” a very literal statement, as blood is the healing system in the game. This line appears in the opening scene after you adjust your settings, right after you’re given the objective “find a weapon” and before you get to move for the first time, as if it's a motto to live by. In contrast to this statement you are meant to hold as a belief, another character, the actual protagonist of this story, declares that “We all bleed the same blood” while he fights to free the citizens of heaven from their council. On one hand, we have the embodiment of war seeing life as nothing but fuel for its eternal pursuit of destruction. On the other, we have an angel declaring that all life is of equal value, and that we shouldn't let anyone control us, no matter the rank they’ve given themselves. 

      I have to make a conclusion because I got a bit into rambling territory there. ULTRAKILL is a game which talks about the horrors of war and its direct relation to humanity, but also how it transcends us. It portrays war as a sentient machine which we created and nothing could not stop, not even the forces of heaven or hell. It shows the tragedies that war leaves in its path, the pain and grief and suffering. I could go so much further, but this is already 1000 words, and you’re probably confused enough. I’ll just go on about how this game appeals to my romantic personality.

      It’s largely the environment for me and the little things found in them. A pair of headless skeletons embracing in a random bed; another headless skeleton praying; a blinding white landscape covered in scattered crosses, called a garden and the first thing you see in a layer called Violence; towering creatures, massive beyond comparison that you know you have to kill. Nothing compares to the feeling of stepping out into the last level of Violence and being greeted with the towering structure of the Earthmover as it looks down on you, a health bar appearing immediately, pushing you to go and kill this thing. The feeling of being so small and yet so powerful that you could destroy the very thing that ended humanity. The extensive poetics of a single, wordless scene. Does this make any sense at all? I’m not going to edit this, it’s not for a grade I don't think. Back on topic now. Something I adore is being able to think extensively about a static moment; deriving a million meanings and messages and emotions from it. A picture speaks a thousand words, as they say, and as I believe wholeheartedly.

LONGBOARD NIGHTS PT.5 [MARCH]

ALL THINGS HUSK

The journey from visualising to creating the Husk was very up and down. I had early meetings with Ben to discuss his vision and what was possible. Ben wrote a summary about the Husks:

"Husks are twitching, humanoid creatures that can be recognised by a large metal plate across their face with a serial code on the top right and two holes for their eyes that can be closed remotely. Multiple liquids come with a Husk. Commonly, you will find large amounts of blood that is either still coming out of them or has dried depending on the work of the “Angel.” Additionally, Puss has been said to leak out of their eye slots due to the salt of their tears getting mixed up with their infected skin soldered to the metal. Rust can commonly be seen at the eye slots as the subject's tears have rusted the metal."

So, working from this, we looked on Pinterest for some inspiration. These were some initial ideas:

I was starting to understand the direction to go in, however the practicalities of what I could make where standing in the way. I don't typically work with metal! I started looking for ways to create a metal mask without using metal.

I found this on instagram:

This guy creates cool robotic looking characters and sci-fi weapons from scratch. In this post, he created a metal mask type thing out of plastic. He then spray painted with metallic paint and used a hot glue gun to create welds around the mask, making it look real. These ideas where really helpful.

I looked at more metal ideas, something that would be easier to make. I found something that might work:

Something more scrappy looking, thrown together. I knew I could do the welding with a hot glue gun, and could make pieces that looked welded and screwed into the skin.

I had now recruited Juno from 4th year as my art assistant. Since, I had been their assistant on grad films, they said they'd do the same for me! Juno recommended I work with EVA foam, and paint that to look like metal. So that was the plan! I made some sketches:

Myself and Juno spent a day creating 2 masks, one for the Husk and one for Alex's dad in the flashback. We cut lots of sharp looking fragments from the EVA foam and stuck it to some safety helmets with spray glue, overlapping and building them.

We sprayed them with metallic spray paint and then shaded black and bronze metallic paint. I had these little pins I used over the mask to look like it would be screwed into someones head. Then I used a hot glue gun to create the welding, then painted over it with silver metallic paint.

I added a bunch of blood, and pulled hair through the holes in the mask. Ripped shirts worn and also dripped blood onto them.

I'm happy with the result! It was never going to look amazing, I knew that, but I put in the effort and it payed off. I loved being creative and trying to think of creative solutions to things!

Ideas for the three parts

For this project I want to branch out from my typical practice of just making a video.

Porn / lingerie / girly mag zine 

Getting real porn magazine and drawing over or collaging machine over it 

Porn video - real person having sex with giant cardboard supercomputer 

Shitty porn plot and dialogue, roko's basilisk etc 

Sculpture love machine sex robot 

Who needs mary style, mechanical trash and dildos 

All installed in a space, the cyber sex dungeon goon cave. Screens everywhere, cum on the floor . idk. 

For the first part, Im working on getting real porn magazines and collaging and drawing over them to create a small zine of machine porn. Like mentioned in the previous post, i might experiment with straight up computer and mechanical forms rather than a sexy robot humanoid figure.

For the second part, the porn video. A while ago i had this idea for a video piece. Bad dialogue and acting like the begining of porn. Card board set and shitty props and lighting of a super computer. Sort of echoing the story of AI in a box, a janitor or scientist or coder or someone alone in there. it's late at night, the computer starts talking to him, seducing him. they have sexxxxxxxx.... yeahhh

The main part will be constructing the set, which as long as i start doing I think it is achievable. Talked to harry about using the production studio to film and he said to come in on a weekend so I can leave it up. Also a solution for the screens is to make green plates so I can comp the text / graphics in later.

I also had an alternative idea for this part. Instead of this being a video work, for the work to BE the set I install. Get viewers to come up to the super computer and speak into a microphone, and I can type live responses back. I like the interactivity, but i think maybe it takes performance gimmick over the integrity of my original idea. Plus it will end up basically like character ai chat and i don't want to talk about that. Additionally, I think the materiality of the card board prop trash aesthetic lends itself to a trashy shitty porn video more, rather than some greater commentary on our interactions with machines.

The third part is the sculpture love machine. I started with thinking about the construction, being a welded structure, basically a shelf to hold the crt monitor and attach other arms onto. I didn't really like how this design looks, but I like the core construction of it basically being a shelf.

More sketches of the first idea. But i started to then think about a "love machine" as basically a pc set up. Or a robot as a pc set up. Rather than it being a machine made to mechanically fuck the best, with the most dildo attachments etc, its a manifestation of a gooners pc set up. A grimy yucky msi monitor with a mechanical rgb keyboard full of dust and crumbs and a oily razor mouse. It's just a gross pc, but its saying something to you.

The factor of it being a crt with dialogue on it is really important to me. I think thats the symbol / key image of how i communicate sentience within a machine, like in my previous work, WHO NEEDS MARY. I also want to continue my interest in dialogue, talking to the inanimate, as well as the art of language and text.

The main construction of this design will still remain basically a shelf. A table with long legs. I could still use welding to create the base structure, or I could fine any table that would work. I want to cover it in expanding foam to create a lupy gross and organic texture / form, and also itll be a cool base to adhere / embed stuff into. The crt / monitor will be housed within, ill probably put a cardboard box in there when im doing the foam and cutting an opening in the back to replace it with a monitor. I am going to embed / attach a mouse, keyboard, dildos, key switches, hdmi cables, condoms just bunch a random shit.

bolts and nuts

chains

o rings

dildos

condoms

silicone / some liquidity slime gross stuff

lube?

keyboard

mouse

keycaps / switches

could go to reverse garbage to look for stuff

Also thinking of the soundscape of the sculpture, i wanna make like TTS moaning or bit crushed moaning.
