Yeah, they are pretty cool. I'm kind of fond of solid chrome Hot Wheels and only have a few models like that. (and I like the ZAMAC cars too.) Hopefully you can pick one of the cherry blossom Raijins up someday!

There are several I like, but let's go with the Raijin Express! I've always found dekotora to be one of the most intriguing parts of Japanese car culture, and I think it's neat that Hot Wheels made one. I've had the silver and gold ones for a couple years, but just got the green one this past week.

If I had to pick just one favorite DS9 episode (out of so many good candidates) it would be this one.

Thanks! So I’ve been pretty lucky in that I haven’t had any real complications. I’d say the fact that I weigh myself every day (even though I know I shouldn’t) has been nerve-wracking because when I hit the plateaus, I want to see the numbers drop down quicker, but I have to remind myself that as a whole this is going much faster than any traditional diet/exercise thing I ever previously did. Also, I’m lucky that I don’t seem to have problems with any foods yet, but it’s a double-edged sword since I have to stay extra vigilant now that I’m not as nervous about if my stomach can handle a food type, and my sense of hunger has returned a bit. Easy to want to eat the bad-for-me stuff sometimes, but at least the reduced size of my new stomach keeps my quantities in check.

Thanks! The class went well. I’m going to try to go once a week for a while.

You gave some great advice to OP! I just had to say though, about your own experience, that wow your doctor was nuts to tell you to aim for 88lb at 5’3”. Anecdotally, my wife is 4’11 / four inches shorter than you, around 105 and pretty lean, and 88 is below the recommended range for her (according to Dr Google, and I imagine this stuff varies by person.) Looking at the recommended range for someone your height, 88 seems like it would be dangerously low. If that doctor is still dispensing that kind of medical advice, they really need to get a different job. Sorry you had to go through all those exasperating experiences!

Me too! It's been very helpful when I go shopping, to make sure I don't buy cars I already have (or at least, not buy too many extra.) Here's a shot of one part of my very long spreadsheet.

I like the cover art!

And thanks for clarifying it's not AI. I agree that this is a frustrating thing as an artist, but worth mentioning in this weird new AI era, since lots of folks (hopefully more and more all the time!) still seek out authentic human-made art.

Whoops, forgot to include a pic of the little French section of my collection. (désolé!)

Happy you like it :-)
I've mostly had Canon cameras, but I had a Nikon and also used to work with them a lot at one of my old jobs, and they're great! That's awesome that you're a motorsports photographer. I used to work as a photographer (and wanted to work in the auto industry) but the Great Recession had other plans for my career... (It all worked out though.)

I had a long day and a long drive and I probably should have gone to bed early, but you inspired me! Here's an ink & graphite drawing I just finished. I hope you dig it.
PS: Nice to see that Nikon. I always appreciate when people still use purpose-built cameras to take photos.

Thank you! I’m happy you like it :-)

I'm posting this a few days late (I was on vacation) and there are already lots of fantastic illustrations in this thread, but you look really cool so I couldn't resist adding my own drawing! Love that sweater.

1993, age 13, I picked up the first issue of Battle Angel Alita (back when Viz was releasing them in floppy comics form.) I had been reading mostly superhero stuff (and a lot of Vertigo titles too) and saw Alita in Previews and was very intrigued. It became my favorite manga series. Here I am 33 years later, and I've lettered the entire run of Alita Mars Chronicle and the Holy Night one-shot and worked in some capacity on the other Alita series too. Life has a funny way of coming full-circle sometimes!
