I'm Not Supposed To Be Sitting At My Computer Due To Back And Neck Problems (and I'm Supposed To Be Working

I'm not supposed to be sitting at my computer due to back and neck problems (and I'm supposed to be working on other things) but I couldn't let K-day go by without doing some more Pacific Rim fanart.

Happy get our shit destroyed by savage giagantic undersea extra-dimensional monsters day, everyone!

Mecha stories are really dear to my heart, like superhero ones, because they are this pop-culture pre-established, familiar setting type that allows for larger-than-life stories. I don't really remember the first superhero movie I saw that made me really stand up and realize that someone else got it, that someone out there in Hollywood understood the stories I grew up with and wanted to tell them on the big screen with the same emotion and energy and thrill.

But I think I will always remember the first Hollywood big-budget mecha movie that made me feel that way. Right now I just keep hoping it won't be the only one.

I have been trying unsuccessfully to sit on my new mass of Leah feels ever since the new Young Avengers issue. How am I supposed to wait a month with this many?

If you judge me for drawing gratuitous MCU!Loki self-cest then that's fine, because I am side-eyeing the shit out of myself for this right now too.

I'm making a lot of headway with writing scripts - apparently tormenting everyone around me by listening to Yeezus as loud as I can on repeat constantly was what I was missing all along - but writing gives me an uncontrollable urge to draw.

I promise, I'm alive!
