GET
HYPE
- So last weekend I attended “Wings over Whiteman” in Missouri on the Whiteman AFB with Ingo J Airplane and we went face first into the hottest bombers enthusiasts wish they could get close enough to touch. The drive up from Springfeild just to get their was long, bumpy, and hot as fuck with the humidity turning an otherwise manageable 81 degrees into the force that burned the shit out of my forearms. Before parking we were greeted by a low pass from a Mig 15 screaming across the sky. Then we circled around the gate guardian- an old Stratofortress with a tail stretching across the length of the front lawn just next to the vehicle checkpoint area. A short hop, skip, and a jump later, we were processed and stuffed on a trolley witch bused us to the main tarmac proper right in front of the b2 spirit maintenance buildings. In the sky, a B-17 and and a B-25 flew happily one after another. A-10’s conducted a mock rescue mission, a flock of t-38 trainers raked the clouds in the noon time. The cherry on top was what you usually don’t get to see: Flying B2 bomber! That’s right.. I got to see one of my babies, the B2 spirit make passes over a huge crowd of thousands… And it was biblical. Even more so then the screaming f-16 stunt pilot who buzzed the crowd with aerial pageantry. I knew this would be my one and only time to see this machine fly and I can tel you it was worth it. What I observed was amazing.. You see the stealth bomber’s engines are so quiet.. that from quite a distance away you cannot hear it.. until it is directly over head. But by that time you’ve been bombed already- No time to react, only for it to fly off and disappear into silence. Its a creepy and beautiful feat of engineering. I went home and fapped the fuck out thinking about that dark flying wing.. the static display that looked so good for the camera. Mr. “Spirit of Kitty hawk”. If any of you are so inclined to take up airshow hunting, I do HIGHLY recommend Whiteman whenever they actually do it, because it’s not often enough I hear.

FOR USERS: TITAN MEDIA FOLDER IS NOW FIXED. Plus the polls archive button now works if you’d like to see the results of past questions asked.
* In my art hiatus I have also finished This game which I thoroughly enjoyed. However, A personal note to myself as I don’t have a lot of time for bullshit anymore: Don’t play on classic mode. You don’t have time for perma-death and shitloads of resets in a game about quick unit progression and match-making. The more units die, the less units you get in the future. In fact I almost named this journal entry “Wizards n’ Waifus” because it seems the fire emblem series is really doubling down on the whole marriage between units thing. Its to the point your kids come back in time to warn you that the future is fucked. Then they help you combat an evil army of purple dragon zombies. I don’t think time travel works this way- if I traveled back in time to slap my dad’s ass as he was making love to my mom, I’d probably cease to be (but this game totally glosses over that fact.) Its a good fun tactics game with some difficulty spikes here and there, but its very easy to pick up for 10-20 minutes at a time. Give this one a try if your hungry for some gold old fashioned jrpg/tactics.
- Happy Fathers day to all you Dad’s out there! Also, New art coming soon.
- Dear pixiv, STOP BEING A HUGE FUCKING DUMPSTER FIRE OF CHILD PORN AND GURO BULLSHIT. Seriously this is why I am hesitant to watch mecha artists on your site now.
You gonna continue the lore for your Dires? That’s what I find most interesting about them, maybe even some reference sheets for recurring characters.
@Hammar: do you mean with the science study pages? Been taking time out to advance the comic as of late. Let me know if you have any more questions though!
Ah, Materialsimo. May your editing be forever dank.
Airshows are the best! I hope you enjoyed Whiteman! We don’t have many major airshows in Australia (Last one was back in March, Avalon international airshow) you’re so lucky!
@Strato: dunno if I replied to this, but I hear that RC is super huge in straya. I lament the fact every day that I got into this stuff too late in life. I missed out on the final flight of the f4 phantom, the f-14 in 06, and the avro vulcan in 2015. If you can get out to America for a week, the Reno grand national air races is not a bad choice.whiteman was special though.. they flew the b2. I’d be hard pressed to find that anywhere else.
Hi.
You’re awesome!
Also Evalion’s and your art and stories has really got me turned on to planes. I’ve been researching them a lot now. It’s SUPER.
@Anon: I think Evalion has moved on from jets, but thanks for coming to visit! Updates are slow but me and a couple of guys work to try to add to this blog when we can. Let me know if you find any good machine art?

I know this is a bit late, but you can disable guro on Pixiv.
Just go to User Settings and set “Ero-guro content (R-18G)” to “Hide”.
I’m not sure there’s anything you can do about the other stuff, though.
@... anon : I’m going to do that now. Thank you so much!
