started drawing digitally recently and it's been really fun! i'm still having some trouble adjusting to it from pen&paper (namely with line widths, those have been a bitch so far) but i'm sure that with some practice i can improve a lot faster than i was before

here are some scrimblos i've drawn as of late, girl on the left is for a gundam TRPG campaign i'm a player in and the one on the right is my go-to gremlin that i insert into anything and everything i can. i'll drop some of my drawings here every now and then as a way of cataloguing my improvement, already off to a decent start c:



something that i've privately complained about but never really mentioned in other places is how much missed opportunity Gundam has had as a whole when it comes to stuff that isn't mobile suits (more specifically Universal Century since that's the one touted as THE real robot part of the franchise)

like sure, the Magella Attack and Core Fighter are pretty iconic designs from 0079, but that's the problem i have - you don't really see a lot of similar things later on in the timeline! i get that it's a funny robot franchise and all that, but it just feels really strange when something that could be done with conventional vehicles is instead done by more mobile suits! 😔

i try to remedy this issue whenever i write any fanfics regarding the series but i would really like to see it tackled in the franchise properly! maybe something similar to UC Hard Graph Iron Mustang, but taking place at a later point in the timeline, like the late 0080s perhaps, it could be really fun to go through imo!
