man that dude is praising the sun SO HARD that the sun is coming up to him all like "thanks bro"

Good job on the sun/star, that seems like a very hard effect to produce. c:

EDIT:

Spoiler: Here we go. Slightly enhanced in Photoshop to show more detail. (click to show/hide)

In case you're wondering, engines and their configurations are allowed to be modified. The engine block is in itself a mod slot. Current configuration is a 7-BULK cluster-engine =|= (or 2:3:2) configuration, with variable thrust vectoring. VTOL is standard (you can refine such control with mods; better used for heavy liftings, like tank hauling).

Mod slots are those 'plugs' on the ship. As you can see, turrets and flares have already been mounted on it some. This is a standard-issue build.

All Barracudas come with access ways below and aside, with small and large cargo access points. These are basically like Planet Express, with a mess of moddability.

Bendy shib! I quite like the design of this bad boy, although it has several cases of mismatching lines/perspective, most notably on the front wings. I do recall you preferring to skip straight to the actual drawing, but i can still warmly recommend having a few guiding lines on the paper to direct the wrath of your pencil. As it stands, it's a really cool design, but the directions are a bit all over the place. :I

also Jopax you said the cat needs more !!BATSHIT INSANE!! smile, yes?

well here's a second cat

Spoiler: probably mild/moderate spoopwarning (click to show/hide)

Cats are very scary when you're a mouse. :v (also tried out that line weight deal and it worked pretty well me thinks)

[Jopax]

That's more like it, but you can always go crazier, certainly. Heck, I'd twist it up to eleven but I'm too lazy atm so it'll have to wait X)

Also about the rifle, yeah, it might seem like it because of the somewhat crappy shading but the linework itself was as straight as I've ever done it

Also also @Itnetlolor, I really really like your approach to these things where you think it all out and put it together so it makes sense in-universe and logically. I personally work like that whenever doing proper machinery and it's both fun and greatly pleasing to do
Only suggestion for the ship I have tho is to perhaps streamline (I guess, can't think of a better term atm) the design itself. By this I mean the mod port things, the entire ship is smooth and flowy lines, agressive and sleek. And then you have the mod ports which are just kinda blocks tacked on or cut into the hull, they pop out at you, and not in a good way. My suggestion would be to perhaps try a more circular design on those so they fit with the aesthetic of the ship more.

Also also also, today was cheerful:

good lord man that's terrifying

I'd be more worried if i hadn't ever seen similar things before from you, but i'm still going to ask: You doin' okay there bud? It is often said that art is a reflection of the artists inner workings (or something poetic like that, hell if i know the specifics), so... Yeah.

Also yeah, i s'pose the smile could be worse. This is more of a malicious "i will eat your spine" smile than a batshit crazy "EVERYTHINGBURNSEVERYTHINGDIESAHAHAHAHAHAH" smile. As much as i hate to admit it, violently exaggerating facial expressions is actually quite difficult for me, since it often requires going "outside" the lines. :v

but okay i'm gonna give it a third shot but with a stickman this time so nothing to fear, right?

Yeah. When I was drawing, I was kinda doing that with very limited lighting (took up a challenge with my night vision; turned out better than I thought for how dark it was when I worked on it), and the motions of the car I was in, not to mention, working with the sketch pad on my lap, and working with weight shifts as well. Doesn't help that I did use guidelines (which I almost never do) to ensure consistency.

As for the design overall, they're a binary structure mod. Parts mounted on the outside, custom interface/interaction on the inside (or another mod that augments from the inside, like advanced tracker units/CPUs for the turrets, or manual control pods if you can;t trust your AI); plus, the mod ports are also open in this picture (mainly if there are single-piece plug-n-play units (in which case, you can also double-mod, with an interior and exterior mod sharing the same slot). Sure, the plugs are ugly as sin, but think of the possibilities; plus, if you want clean sleek lines and the like, or aerodynamic mods, I can always design aesthetic kit sets to make your midnight racer look all fancy and the like (I have considered racer models for this craft as well)).

When I design, I design for fun. So what if it has a few design flaws that may clash with the aesthetic appeal? In my reality, where these things are concerned, people pay as much attention to those as a gas cap. Unless the door is missing (which they are open/missing) would they be an eye sore, but when closed it actually looks sleek. Plus, I mentioned that the flares and a few turrets use up a couple of them, hiding the outlets anyway. Modular/moddable things aren't necessarily the prettiest things/features, but they do make designs more fun to tinker with, depending on the purpose. If you want some designs ugly as sin, you ought to check out my WFAO (Weapon For All Occasions) line of weapons, which at times, tend to resemble a MacGuyver-equivalent (with similar budget applied) of the ZF-1 from The Fifth Element. But yeah, I design mostly for myself when make these things.

Given the critiques, I got an interesting idea I don't mind applying at times. Intentionally make jarring/bad design choices for certain things, and use them as a weapon of mass distraction for certain cases. If it can bug my enemy/targets or whatever, it may make an opening for an attack because it just irks them that much once they notice. Longshot as it sounds, but a funny opening to make for an attack.

Aaaaaaaa it's so fluffy I wanna hug it.

Hee~
Reminds me of a drawing I've...made (well actually drafted...Scrapped? Not finished.) which pokes on the intrigue of word development.
...There's a reason there was a closet in the first place to go into. And there will come a time where there will be no closet (because yay inclusion [no thanks to the root of exclusion :v]).

* Tiruin has trouble drawing straight lines without the help of a straight guiding-object-thingy!

Also academic work is lightening to I'm trying to draw stuff \o/

I've been to places without homophobia before. And then I found a pony. And I rode it to the Moon and high-fived Tupac.

Err ._.
I've been there too. Minus the last 2 sentences.

Oh nothing out of the ordinary Shook. Just the regular cocktail of doubts, fears and depression, nothing I'm not used to ^^
It varies from day to day, last few were kinda crappy, despite some good things happening. Anyways, here's something I'm hopefully going to see trough to the end:

Spoiler:  Chronicle 1-Fireflies (click to show/hide)

"It's been years since I've seen the last one. But they still burn fresh in my memory, like earthbound stars, dancing in the fields."

Basically illustrating good music is what it is.

Those HANDS. (Also the whole thing is ... reminds me of stories of fireflies in the local bushes, lighting up the night in the provinces or in the urban areas but not-the-center-of-the-city areas.)
I have great difficulty doing hands .-.

[Jopax]

Indeed, which is why I kinda cheated and took photos of my own hands to use as reference, you have no idea how annoying it is to get a good shot of something while the phone is lying on your chest so you can't see the screen at all. Took me some ten attempts to get something that was kinda useable, even then I had to fiddle with them to get them in the right position XD

Well, this might actually be of use to someone who needs scrabble letters but can't get their hands on them. Should generate right amounts. The capitalisation means nothing, btw.

Thanks a bunch, you two. I'm uncomfortable now.
