He Just Like Me After Work... The Big Boob

text below, tw war

today i joined my friends late (on 5 minute stage) and after they finished did another 1.5 hours by myself (and then spent some more time on the final thing). tried drawing the final guy bigger (since drawing his legs is my best skill so far anyway lol) and focus on the face - and mb for the first time i like how it turned out, everything is more or less where it should be and the drawing even looks like the model! i am glad and post a closer photo of the face alongside the full pic.

almost all the other ones are bad, some that i don't post are even worse than what you see. it's combination of skill issue and being distracted by talking to mom and also explosions. visiting grandma and getting the full odesa experience - while i was drawing these an air raid was going on and apparently some house where people live was hit - i think it was far away from me though bc the sound wasn't loud. will monitor the news tomorrow and donate blood if my blood type is needed - or probably will do it anyway bc just yesterday was another "incident" (as in russian drone) where people got hurt and it's unlikely it will stop soon.

reference, text and more below

i guess drawing this guy the other day paid off bc this is the best i have managed to make to date. didn't actually take me 25 minutes, i was doing it for ~20 extra minutes bc i liked how it was going so far and wanted to finish. might return to it later and fix it a bit more.

i am satisfied with the 5 minute guy and not satisfied with the 5 minute lady at all, as well as the 10 minute lady except for hair which is my most decent attempt at conveying long hair structure so far.

thought this exercise is just going to be atrocious but i kinda like the top one (10 minutes)

sometimes it do be like that (worse than before) but we keep going. i kinda disliked drawing that guy bc his photographer uses settings that distort proportions (like fisheye or the opposite) so his limbs look bizarrely huge and disproportionate. but today i enjoyed the cartoonish look.

forgot to post this one. i was really proud if the pull up man (still looks good to me), and the rest i think i did during english class (i couldn't possibly read the hiragana now, lol, completely forgotten)

have you noticed how the title of boss in mgs is almost mocking, and those who have it are a tool of some forces they are unable to deny?

the boss has respect and obedience of people around her, such as strangelove and other researchers, snake, the cobras, volgin etc. but she earns it exactly by giving her all to whatever task she's assigned to, which were often harmful to her or suicidal. she clearly doesn't want to kill the sorrow or convince snake she's a traitor, and mb she didn't want to go to space and do other stuff either, but she either was blackmailed into those missions by threatening her child or thought it was her responsibility to tie up loose ends or smth. so, what leads to her being the boss is really extreme obedience, often contrary to her own interests.

when snake is "awarded" the title of big boss, it already looks like mockery as it is: he and you, the player, know there's not much heroism in killing the boss. i haven't played mg, mg2 and mgs4 yet, so this might be canonically disproven, but mgsv seems to me like it takes the extreme obedience even further: some organisation says "we're giving your identity to some other guy" and he's like "ok yay ❤️ 🚬🏍️". it is also notable how in portable ops and peace walker he fights people whose ideas he will directly adopt (nation of mercenaries and metal gear). of course he is the next legendary soldier and his followers respect and obey him, but it seems he earned that by fulfilling some organisation's plan (not in form of direct missions this time) with great skill and dedication. it was interesting to see his path from solo stealth operative to a leader in portable ops, and it does seem like people follow him bc of his field skills (and bc of being put in the brig) than management skills (although he is a charismatic leader).

if you replace "boss" with "tool" or "weapon", it makes just as much sense in terms of passing down the code name. their authority only exists among soldiers and scientists and pows and doesn't exist at all for the people who use them. and it seems that in metal gear when there is a super soldier, the government (or patriots or whoever else) is always training a new one that could kill them if needed. so, both people who get the codename get it after proving they can be made to do anything no matter how much they dislike it, which is ironic.
