Blog 26: Fuya Newsletter - Pixel Sprites | Gundams | Gunpla | Arknights (Patreon)
Content
Hey everyone.
It's a blog update. There's a lot of variety I want to talk about so I label it a newsletter. I kinda have fun and want to do it in this format if it works.
Pixel Sprites
So I had a minor art block and decided to do something different for fun. I made these pixel sprites of the July 2018 batch's reward (BB, Bloomers Nero, and Honolulu) with classic FF style sprites because I like it.
What do you think? If they look good I will try to make more for the future batches because it's fun and didn't take much time at all.
Gundam
I have quite a few gundam series that I've been sleeping on for a while and I recently just went back and finished watching Gundam IBO, Origin, and Unicorn. I also continued watching Gundam Build Divers Re:Rise and had to drop it because I couldn't stand how bad it is.
I love the hell out of IBO and Origin though. Best experience I've had in a while. Unicorn is alright. I don't like Banagher as a character at all and the early episodes are absolutely rushed but the animation is phenomenal and I can't wait for Hathaway's Flash. I still have to go back and rewatch 0079 and finish ZZ sometimes.
Gunpla
And by being back to watching gundams again I've been spending some non drawing spare time with gunpla kits! I find it an amazing way to inspire myself to draw stuffs, too by rewarding myself with a few hours of gunpla making every time I progress enough on the drawings. It's the first time I tried doing proper lining on the gunplas. I couldn't find a time to top-coat them though.
I attached the photos of my new The-O and R-Jarja here within this post. I know there are some gunpla experts here somewhere.
Arknights
I've started playing Arknights and it's such a great game. I've always been a fan of Tower Defense game and this is a cool spin on it. The game is not that grind heavy or predatory gacha roll wise and the character designs and the UI interface of this game is so neat looking you can definitely tell the art director is very talented. I love it when games do that.
I've attached a screencap of my current team too. The another reason I stick with this game is that my gf pulled Siege + Silverash for me in the first 10 free rolls. She has a pair of gacha goddess hands.
Granblue Fantasy Versus
GBFV is out and I'm not playing it. I think 11 characters roster is kind of a joke seeing it's game funded by a mega billionaire company like Cygames from a franchise with 100+ fan favorite characters so I'm willing to wait a bit and buy the GBFV XXXrd Omega Grand Revelator Finale or whatever version it comes out next with decent roster.
Despite all that the game looks super fun and seeing Western fans' reaction to Ladiva is hilarious. I can't wait for the drop of Cagliostro and see them exploding on the HE IS TRANS train. Seriously tho, why isn't he revealed as a DLC character yet? Have they forgot how many times he won the fan favorite poll?
Also this year's EVO is gonna be hella lit.
