I want this teacher.

Could have just as easily been a Chansey or Blissey, pre gen 4.

Finally working up some motivation to do some random art projects again for art's sake. Just finished modeling at least one of the ships (A kunai (one of many bladeships) converted into a helldrop ship (mostly sub-orbital drops); imagine, if you will, a kunai the size of a car that uses gravity and a parachute (and some basic elevators and rudders, and blade-tip ailerons, to aim and punch through buildings or long stretches of land (taking out cars, aircraft and any other poor sap that's in their way at high velocity, and not being the lightest thing to get hit by while at it; somewhat dense to maximize effect, and to provide as much safety to the passenger as possible.), and a trooper is inside pre-armed to take on their mission. They also usually come in groups (from 4-32 of them at the same time; full deployment of 32 from Arrow dropcraft (double as controller ships for the kunai teams; full load of 16 kunai per arrow)) to tackle a mission head-on and by surprise, doing as much damage on the way in as possible before beginning). Ought to make good for practicing texturing, due to being a small and lo-poly design and small profile.

Slightly fatter design to accommodate the troop, life support, safety shock absorption, and bladed armor plating for contact; backside is given a basic bi-rudder aerodynamic control surface with room for parachute deployment, booster jets, or whatever else can assist in accomplishing the mission.

Sometimes, instead of troops, the insides can be rigged with delayed explosives while the ships remain armor piercing in nature (a real threat to buildings and capital ships), or remodeled in a way to work as makeshift "magic bullets" usually hollow-point in nature, sparing the resources of troops, and still causing maximum damage. Such a role is usually left for retired or expired kunai that outlived their usefulness, and are generally signed off with a bang. Their cheapness and mass-producibility makes this a viable tactic in most fleets. Beware of decoys. And yes, given the resources, the Aviar-Kai will MacGuyver themselves railguns and fire these things off at ludicrous speeds, or send shock troopers to a planet/moon/country far far away from any radar establishment within said locations, ensuring a complete sneak attack from left field.

Gonna find my sketchpads and look through them again to see what else I can work on, and maybe start adding to them again. Last time I seriously drew anything was about 4-5 years ago. Last actual attempt at 3D modeling were the ships I showed a month or two ago (last worked on a few months before then before the hard drive borked).


EDIT:

Spoiler: Here's some renderings (click to show/hide)

They may be small and cheap, but they're not to be underestimated. Oh, and the passenger is usually standing while they're in freefall, and lying down like a luge if/when they land horizontally (commonly land vertically, but horizontal is safer shock-wise for the passenger, though less accurate/direct), plowing through fields of troops, cutting them to their knee-equivalents, then popping off the door and sometimes using it like a shield, or the kunai for cover, and firing upon anyone and anything in their surroundings with a full-auto weapon or a grenade launcher of sorts.

At least you live in the same country. :I

Hey, it takes you less time to visit texas than it takes me to visit my girl, even though she's just on the other side of the state.

Well it's taken me 2 weeks and counting, with a prognosis of SEVERAL MONTHS to visit.

Technically it's an infinite amount, since the plan is for him to move here (for obvious reasons, I should think)

Mostly because neither of us has much, if any, cash. At all. :I

[Descan]

Double post because this took longer to write than I expected so I'm ninja'ing potential peoples so it is not lost in the updoots:

Happy news, I just had a fashiongasm after a binge of clothing-watching on Tumblr.

Some highlights:

Japanese construction clothing.
What I'd imagine an India-descended global cultural hegemony would consider a "normal business-suit" (As opposed to our current, Europe-descended global cultural-hegemony
Another such suit
This guy has a sword. So yeah.
Casual -> Formal -> Casual -> Formal, All with one shirt/jacket
This one speaks for itself, I think
This one is... pretty NSFW. Clothed, but uh... Shirtless.

[mastahcheese]

I've never understood fashion.

I find putting a shirt on in the morning is tough enough without having to engage in thought.

guys do you think he wants it i'm not sure

also he interrupted me, how rude

[Max White]

Descan why is it that as soon as you use the phrase 'he wants it' my mind goes to the gutters.

I'm sorry but I just can't read anything you say with any level of maturity. 

[Descan]

I don't think the last link I put in that post helps my case in that regard any. >____>

[Max White]

I think the socks are pretty cute.
Also a much easier option than shaving your legs...

[Descan]

True enough.

Hey, Texas has stuff the US wants. Like Oil. A lot of Oil. And land. All of which Canada has. And yet Congress keeps refusing to consider my invasion plans.

Well duh, I live there.
