I dunno, I'd love more plot. Such as, say, finding M-21's original identity, so he can know if he has a birth family looking for him. Finding the identities of the rest of the M series. The First Elder getting a face that matters. Raskreia making official First Contact with benevolent human organizations. The geopolitics of discoverings gods were real but weren't gods. Rai passing on the mantle to Seira. You know, ANYTHING BUT yet more plot-devouring Muzaka screentime...

(Also Virgin Powers are a complete invention caused by Landegre chivalry insisting that they escort isolated maidens and children, obvs.)

I figured that they ended up associated with virginity because of their epic No Fucks Given~

...although there’s a joke about how virgins and unicorns are both rare that is less funny in the context of the Landegre genocide. The world is much poorer for the loss of almost all its cranky, badass, confuzzled by your nonsense unicorns.

They did block you. Don’t let it bother you – you’re completely right, and they are clearly only concerned with feeling good about themselves by joining the current Tumblr moral outrage fad. They are also 16 with “all men are pigs” as their blog title, which is not exacly an indication of deep ethical thought.

Ay. I didn’t expect them to change, and I’m sure my claim has it’s flaws. But I wasn’t expecting a one-sided reply&block. You’re right, they’re not the greatest people to begin with.

I do worry about the victim, because you know how Tumblr works... also, it sound weird but I also worry about them because it’s not a healthy behavior to have. Guess that part can’t be helped.

Would explain Rai only having shirts in that room if I did another Flashback Era AU... He would have to be able to shapeshift to look human to have the Rai's Adventure smol human tug at his sleeve, but it's the middle of the night in his own home? Or nobles use mind control to look human, glamorie.

In which case nobles do not look human at all, and Frankenstein would need to be able to see/hear the projection as well to know what they’re saying to him and get any body language/expression cues - they learned what to show to look human by mimicking humans, so there’d be stuff they’re doing without knowing how much they’re giving away...

If I did this, Frankenstein would have already determinedly gotten over how monstrous they look - mention of tentacles, ‘wings’ that are normally folded up not quite explaining how Ragar is staying in midair. Surprise at finding human shirts in a noble’s manor, although there may be a few extra holes. Urokai’s screeching/wailing and how he wouldn’t be able to hear half of it if he wasn’t modified and honestly he’d rather not, although if he was unmodified it’d have deafened him and probably be doing additional things to his body/bones.

…Crap. I just noticed a thing and, er, sorry to maybe bring you more work, but–

The thing is, Zero isn’t a Reploid.

Unlike every other robot of the era, he was never based on X at all, and was in all likelihood started before X was, what with his schematics being identifiable pretty early on. So while things common to Light and Wily, like the earcap things, would logically make their way to both robots, there’s actually no reason for them to be so similar. The “most humanoid Reploids” standard doesn’t apply to him. Shouldn’t he have an entirely different, unique inner body structure and articulation type?

Unless you think he was rebuilt as per Reploid standards in X2, in which case yeah no issue. He probably was, unique model no one understood and all.

I don’t remember if i did these after finishing X2........ :o................. Because that is where they drop the hint? if I remember? I guess they confirm that in a later game?

If I did, i should have though about that....... ouch

Problem is, I still have a lot of problems figuring out distinct types of body structure for robots? I managed to do something with this one, but I don’t know if I have the skill to figure out how I could give Zero a different structure and make it look ok....

Which adds extra drama to Kei Ru’s battle, because in a fight where skill was the determining factor, a werewolf should be able to slaughter a noble. Because werewolves fought each other constantly, with their lives on the line, giving them Frankenstein’s advantage against Gradeus. We have testimony that they used to be independent, living independently, that they used to take honor as seriously as nobles: how the heck did they end up stormtroopers?

We’re talking spoiled brats with a racial entitlement complex: come on, do you really think they do their own laundry? Or know how to sew? Or, like seriously, would push a broom around Maduke’s ego palace?

Honestly, regarding anatomy, the only thing I see you regularly have issues with are legs.

Not so much the legs themselves, you draw them fine, but the character’s center of gravity doesn’t line up with the foot (or else) on which they support themselves, so they look unstable.

That one’s actually a very easy fix, all you need to do is imagine a vertical line. Gave Google a look to see if I could find a picture of what I mean, because I don’t trust my ability to be concise, and here’s an excellent page with multiple examples.

I think maybe it’s because you’re just not used to drawing characters all the way down to their feet (which are typically the least interesting part of a picture), and so don’t pre-determine where the feet are before you draw the thighs? Because you never have the same issue with spines, so clearly it’s not that you’re not good at balancing.

Like, for instance, in this Zero picture, his back and arms balance the armor just right. Same for the head and hair, same for the hand and saber. But if you mentally extend his legs past the edge of the picture, then they’ll come out slightly off.

I really see what you mean, and I think it is a bit of both? I don’t draw many full views anymore, and, the leg proportions for the MM characters is what it is...

But, I remember seeing the same problem with full human looking characters, so it is probably that type of mistake instead!

When I’m drawing this type of thing where I only focus on part of the character’s body, I don’t always plan the full pose. That adds to the problem, probably? But that way I can push lines a little bit more and get a little more movement? Even if it is exaggerated? Hmmm

No but, I have sooooooo much problems with anatomy in general. Since I almost only post what I’m already used to draw, maybe it isn’t as apparent? But, the simplest thing I try to do out of my comfort zone... It becomes a mess most of the time. I really need to take studying anatomy more seriously, because it really would give me so much freedom. There are a lot of ideas I have had, and then I had to give up because they are way out of my skill, and that feels really bad...
