Pssst, don't tell anyone you saw this drawing.

A drawing of a bound woman being fucked and with cum on her face.

It's a drawing of a vent, for venting.

Anyone who's ever spent more than about 30 minutes with me has likely noticed that I an a lazy self obsessed sack of shit with no skills.

This is probably part of the reason I simultaneous desperately crave validation, and do not deserve (or regularly receive) it. This leaves me in a perpetual state of frustration. While this perpetual frustration is probably better than I deserve, it is still exhausting and unpleasant.

I am so tired, physically and mentally and I look out at a future that will not be better because I flat out don't know how to be better. Because despite how shitty I objectively am by every measure, I am actually trying my best.

Why can't I be a person worth existing? Why can't I be satisfied?

Was testing some digital comic techniques. My actual drawings are still the rough and I need to figure out some things, but I think this 3 tone approach could work. Bound Kobold is sona of @koboldkazk.bsky.social #KazkDoodles

Happy Halloween, have this picture of Eric the Phantom of the Opera (novel inspired). It's rough but I'm just satisfied to get something finished digitally. #PotO

Dark Fate goes so far as to say Kyle Reese was wrong, they can be reasoned with and feel guilty and pity because one reasons THEMSELVES into having a conscience. It just took time. A fascinatingly hopeful statement about the relationship between knowledge and compassion. But it's not SCARY.

Later movies Terminator's are just an entirely different kind of machine. They learn human complexities to better blend in fair enough, and that learning inevitably leading to sympathy is an interesting idea for sure.

That first movie Terminator is like a hydraulic press designed to crush anything you place in it. There's no arguing, no convincing it, it will never feel guilty. Just "crush object" and either you break it or it breaks you. That's scary.

I feel like later movie Terminators are too sophisticated. They become too human. You can imagine in the first film that it's a robot programed for one thing and incapable anything beyond that directive. "Kill target(s) as efficiently as possible. Remain discrete to ensure best possible chance."

Recently rewatched some of the Terminator movies. There's something about that first movie that really really good creepy. Like the idea of a robot that isn't like us, it just looks enough like us to kill us more effectively.

Did some line art over my prior Frankenstein/Fullmetal Alchemist crossover sketches. Can't wait to see the new @realgdt.bsky.social Frankenstein film.

Red and black ink doodles. One is looking down into the eye of a storm, the next is a lower view of the building at the eye of the storm being struck by lightning, the last is Frankenstein's creation being brought to life bloodily.

Recently watched Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood and remembered an old crossover fan fic idea where Ed while exploring the West found Frankenstein's creation. The idea being Frankenstein was an alchemist, his creation is a homunculus, and he used the eye of a storm as a massive transmutation circle.
