@RB
Oh my god, I’m so sorry for not responding sooner! I didn’t even notice this comment for months.
Yeah, I use Pixiv from time to time. I was following that Russian guy who drew a mech picture every day for almost three years, the dedication there was crazy. I generally don’t like how you have to make an account to use the site correctly and I really don’t like how you have to pay to get all the features, but there are a lot of great mecha artists on there. People shit on DA a lot, but that site has good mecha artists as well.
As for my art? I’m nowhere near as good as you and I don’t really draw robots, but here are a few things I made.comment imagecomment imagecomment image
As you can probably tell, I’m quite a novice artist. I drew all of those after making that post, by the way.

What are you doing these days that you don’t have time to draw? Work, I assume. Has COVID impacted it in any way?

Hey RB, I’m the guy from /m/ who asked you to draw that Zaku. I didn’t say it then, but I’ve followed your art since at least 2007. You’re genuinely one of my favorite artists and one of the people who inspired me to draw. Your art made me get into mecha anime. You might mostly draw different kinds of content to what you drew 12 years ago, but I still have fond memories of trying to save your old artwork from 4chan and each one taking several minutes to complete because of my terrible internet connection.
This sounds silly, but I cannot tell you how much I appreciate you actually drawing a request of mine, even if it was just a simple proof of who you said you were. It reminds me of the old 2000’s drawings you used to do.

I found your pictures somehow 2 years ago and I was very interested because they were unusual and detached from reality 🙂 they remind me of my thoughts 🙂 I thought that I was alone in the world with such thoughts but it turned out that I’m not happy about it 🙂 each time together when you put something on the pages, I can not wait for the next one 🙂 I wrote also on DeviantART yesterday, but nobody wrote back

Ratbat – I would like to see that Science Page and see exactly what is going through your mind for not just these kinds of pictures but Dire’s in general.

I see a 3rd photo added in progress, I’m not sure what those Jet’s are but I’m willing to bet they are from Ace Combat ?

AHH, wait, I just looked at it again and the little circles around the cockpit area. That’s the Hero Jet from Ace Combat 5! I’ve played through that game enough times to own 4 of every kind of jet EXCEPT that one. I only have 2 of those they are X’PENZVE to say the least! Very cool get to see them done in your style ‘collecting data’ lol.

How many new converts shall Ace Combat bring you, Ratbat? Who shall gaze deep into the void and think to themselves: “You know, I might actually want to get it on with a jet.”

I know the art not done yet but look amazing and also the your artwork you posted up so far. Not sure if ever said this to you before I have to complement you for the way you made this big guy has a grasp on his women and having him wrapped her in his care. This probably sounding bit weird for a guy like me saying that but is something I enjoyed from you a lot stuff like the hand grabbing and the hair tugging and many tendadril wrapping around the body is really sweet way of them bonding with each other.

would you say the military dire machines would be higher in the royalty chain or are there kingdoms of just civilian vehicles ruled by regular cars not Ment for service bc the way you show it in the comics I only see 1 ambulance and the rest a military

Working around? Hell, I’d say half the point is working with those differences, not against them.
You did this well in your old mecha art where the large robots were softly holding their relevantly small human partners effortlessly.

Diesel train sex?
I’m pretty sure I’ve never seen that before. That’s a good concept, you should run with that.

@ebo
I’m not sure what you mean. Do you mean where you are? To put it bluntly, you’re on Titan Atelier; a website for mechanophiles and robofuckers.

BUT here is the real question.

In this comic your doing now is there just one big kingdom or is it dispersed with different kingdoms with each different kingdom being a different country make like one kingdom being only American planes and another our beloved Russians if you do things like that? ( sorry for asking I’m the type of guy who loves reading more of the lore of a story than the story itself)

I’m sorry if I look like the generic guy that only wants porn I just wanted to know how they would do it so thanks. I kinda am now tempted to put a story together about the two though.

> I think people get cought up in treating dire machines like animals
>Not at all like the sexy gay orcas my fans want them to be..
I think this is because you picked up a lot of furry fans from all your your art gets posted on e621. They’re into the anthro aspect, not the machine aspect.
The way you aesthetically draw them, such as the Astute-class submarine in Demifolkstudy.png, is also reminiscent of how some furry artists draw dragons.
You could probably change this if you gave your art greater emphasis on machinery. I mean outside of the Dire machine universe, because I know doing that would conflict with the lore you’ve built.

why are we discussing sex between a tank and a bomber?

Luke

Yeah it took 11 or 12 men to use that thing and only 3 prototypes were made but just think of how the b-17 has to do to pleasure a Maus. Like how cause the teacher lane would have to be on top bc that girl would crush that plane like a grape sooo and also for the b-17 would the ball turret hold the balls of the plane or would it be more inside.
