I'm not proud of them but I also don't hate how they look after a while, they're definitely recognizable as Suletta and Miorine, I think you can tell I was still learning how to draw both of their distinctive hairstyles lol

i stuck to what i said i'd do last week and started aerial yesterday! i completed the head and body in my first sitting. i'd like to finish the rest this weekend, but pikmin 3 is out as of today, so no promises, hehe. if i don't get to this weekend, i'll do it over the course of the next week. :nodnod:

i streamed to discord while i built it, and i'm glad i didn't try to start it alone because i had the inclination to clip out all the pieces first, lol. i watched a potan video on youtube where he did that (and washed them in some sort of fancy bath too...), but i'm not at that level of gunpla nerd yet. luckily my friend said they just clip out the pieces as they go, so that's what i did. it's very satisfying hearing the little thunk as the clippers separate the plastic bits.

in this process i learned that my general clumsiness puts me at a small disadvantage since i can't hold the dang pieces well!! i kept dropping them or having bits just go flying out of my hands because gravity hates me. at least 4 times i had to bend down and search the carpet under my desk for a piece!

overall though i enjoyed it and can't wait to attach the arms and legs. i love the runner with the clear blue plastic bits that will be used for the beam sword and blaster. i'll be sure to take pics again!

thanks for reading~

apologies for the weeb shit but I genuinely still love this picture of Suletta so much. Look at her cowboy hat!! 🦝🤠

also I got tripped up trying to write the title by the dang は particle, which is "ha" but you pronounce it "wa" which is different than the particle わ which is also pronounced "wa" but has a different usage case (used to indicate emotion, while は indicates the topic), so I think the correct one to use should be は。In any case 日本語は難しいです。
