Some Head Studies

Just me trying to draw some heads. They’re supposed to be female heads; I don’t know why the side view went so wrong.

Brain Drain iii + Ghost Coast + Epilogue

Today, Prime Minister Mark Carney responded to the American declaration of war by declaring war back. We will triumph over the filthy American horde (especially as they’ve wasted all their ammo fighting a bunch of pajama-clad fascist losers over in Loserstan) and free the North American continent from their vile and insidious reign.

But first, one last adventure with the Major.

Hi-tech microfilm reader, I guess.

Suspicious doves, giving the game away all the time

Get out of there, Major! Bad shit is about to go down.

Too late.

That’s why you check your safehouses now and again!

This is one of the reasons people who think we’re going to invent immortality make me laugh. Material degrades; yes, even plastic and metal bite the dust eventually. Granted, with metals and plastics its usually fatigue that does them in, but even still. No one and nothing on this planet is truly immortal. Not even the freaking lobsters, man.

Since when does Section 9 care about human rights?

Wow, you’re in a happy mood Major.

Oh hey, the puppet master isn’t dead.

The Puppet Master is unlikely to happen in real life. Software requires hardware: it has to exist somewhere in real space. And if it exists, it can be destroyed.

Techno babble to the max!

Masamune believes in multiverses.

Creator provincialism for the win!

That’s one possibility, sure. But an unlikely one. More likely is that entropy will always win. Change is the only constant; even death is just another form of change. Nothing lasts and even the gods must die.

And thus the set-up for Human-Error Processor and Mind-Machine Interface

At least in the manga. Who knows if we will get 1.5 or 2.0 ever adapted? They’re not exactly Shirow’s most popular work, you know.

We all change. We all die. We change because we die. None of us are the same from minute to minute.

Poor Batou. He gets no respect ever.

If we ever get hot swappable bodies, gender is going to get very fucking weird. Fortunately the only people hurt by that will Pete Hegseth and those fucking idiots at Liberal Currents so you know. Fuck them up the asshole with a rusty pike.

If we get anymore Appleseed adaptations, goddamn.

That’s okay Batou. Neither does anybody else.

Indeed it is, Major.

Oh that’s a fucking tease.

That reminds me. I really need to find a copy of the Appleseed manga.

Have I Finally Learned To Draw Women? Hah, No.

Hello all you happy people! I’m Josh, it’s the long weekend here in Alberta, and I still can’t draw feet to save my life. But I’m getting better at drawing women, I think. My legs are still way too chunky, though.

I will be posting studies like this all this week, so stay tuned!

Boom! Headshot

Hello all you happy people! I’m Josh, aspiring artist who’s been kept up all night all week as they repave the streets near my house.

So this is what you’re getting this week. Just a quick three-quarters view head video. I’ll see you guys next week.

A Tiger In Glenmore

Hello all you happy people! I hope you’re having a better week than I am.

Anyway, here’s my attempt at a tiger running amok in Glenmore Reservoir. It… didn’t turn out very well.

Le sigh.

Pikachu, I Choose You!

Hello all you happy people! I’m Josh, and I’m here with quick study video, just breaking down some screenshots I took of Pikachu from Pokemon Scarlet!

Hope you enjoy!

Brain Drain ii

Bluesky needs to die, America is gonna fry, but who cares because it’s Ghost In The Shell time!

The Prime Minister looks like a frog.

And as always guys, if you want to support me you can subscribe to the website, Patreon, or buy me a hot chocolate.

Second last episode, guys. Then we just need to wait for the BluRay release.

It’d be better for you if you did, dude.

Black bagging a member of the media while under a investigation is not the brightest idea ever, Ishikawa.

Eh, the minister has a point. I don’t think he’s necessarily crooked.

Hmm. Ghorantl is an oil-producing nation… and Israel isn’t. Not really, anyway. So maybe they’re a stand-in for somebody else in the Middle East?

Togusa… still the FNG.

Besides, as we all know its the Americans who interfere in other peoples politics. Them, the PRC and Russia. The Washington-Moscow-Beijing Axis.

It’s funny they’re worried about oil in this series, given that solar is rapidly replacing it in the real world. Maybe they still need oil for plastics and shit?

That’s cold, Major.

Whoop, cooked chicken.

Batou, you’re an ass.

Okay, Batou is a perceptive ass.

Motoko, don’t traumatize Togusa anymore than he already is.

Ishikawa is not reassured.

Verbal warnings and warning shots are popular in fiction, but they’re actually dicey in real life. In real life, if somebody is about to shoot you you have one second or less to react. If you try to shout out a warning, you’re probably already dead.

And of course warning shots come with the problem of hitting whatever is behind your target, like some innocent little old lady.

Guns, man. Dangerous things.

I don’t know how Japanese courts work, but this lawyer is getting away with a lot of editorializing here.

And again, in that less than a second moment Motoko had, she would not have been able to determine whether or not the kid looked like a killing machine.

No? 0.82 seconds isn’t enough time to do much of anything, let alone spare anybody in a gunfight.

You know guys. Playing dirty tricks with the courts doesn’t help your case.

What is the major doing here?

Okay nope, I don’t get it. The Major’s plan makes no sense.

Not Feeling Great Today, So I Drew A Charmander

I still have so far to go… but I’m getting there. I think. I’ll have more studies like this for you later this week, plus some videos.

Motoko Ishikawa Speedpaint

Hello all you happy people! I’m Josh, and I’m as much a work in progress as my webcomic.

You know what this week, and especially this drawing, has taught me? I’m not ready. So, The Mind-Computer Problem will not becoming out on Monday. It will be coming out in October. I will keep you guys updated on my progress, and I’ll have a real video out for you next Friday.

Remember, the net is vast.

Idolatry

Hello all you happy people! Tim Curry is dead (RIP), Dolly Parton is dead (good fucking riddance) and the Americans are continuing their all out war against human existence in general and my country in particular. Don’t give me any whiny ass bullshit about how nobody in America wants this: yes you do. You are a not a nation of human beings but an appetite, an endless hunger. You exist only to consume, and unfortunately Canada was always going to be your first target.

But know this: we, the free peoples of the world, will destroy you. You and your allies in Beijing and Moscow. We will build a new, better world on your ashes. Just as we built a new, better world on the ashes of the last gang of fascists that thought they could rule the planet.

Just another cheap thug, like all revolutionaries. And a cult of personality, to boot.

AIs are not good at detecting AI.

Look-a-likes and deepfakes are going to get worse before they get better, that’s for sure.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs… making things difficult for Section 9 since forever.

Wouldn’t somebody notice the giant military helicopter flying around?

Some unnoticed technological advances in GiTS include some kind of synthetic silk strong enough to hold up a frigging tank.

You’d think a bunch of paranoid gangsters and revolutionaries would be more suspicious of the old ‘room service’ gag.

Getting into a fight with the cops seems like a really bad idea? I know the Yakuza aren’t a secret organization like the Mafia, but states are really paranoid about the whole ‘monopoly on force’ thing!

Ah the pinnacle of nerddom: three way catfights.

How did a guy that cowardly get to be the underboss of a Yakuza outfit?

Japan clearly has a different attitude towards surveillance cameras than the Yanks do. But then maybe Japanese cops don’t use them to track down their ex-wives.

‘Spikes in power consumption’ being a red flag is hilarious these days.

People who think GiTS has never been goofy have clearly not watched SAC. Batou is comedy gold.

Uh-oh. Radio static.

Too many Marcelos spoils the pot.

Some of the artwork for season one is a little weird.

Now there’s four of them!

A yup. Probably the most illegal piece of technology in GiTS.

What? What? They just let one of the copies go? Ghost Dubbing is illegal as hell!

Not all CGI has aged well in this series.

Money. The Yakuza wanted to get paid.

No. No. That’s how you get fascism. We must see the world for what it is. America was founded by slave owners, traitors, and tax dodgers. Canada was founded by a alcoholic and his French terrorist friends. When you forget that, when you start elevating human beings to divine status, you become a monster to defend them.

Trust no one. Live a longer, healthier, life.

Comedy. That’s a Tachikoma’s specialty.
