IT'S A GUNDAM!!

The gundam was constructed from this: 3dwarehouse.sketchup.com/model… So I can only take credit for making lineart out of it and coloring it. This was an exercise in putting a character into an environment.

I also wanna say a few things about Duo.

This is the first time in many years I've drawn him. It's the first time in a few years I've really wanted anything to do with him. The whole short haired Duo shtick I had was a thing to make me distinct from other Duo fans and at some point I think I ran that gambit into the ground. It taught me many things, but I eventually got tired of it, mostly because it depended on an bad end AU, and while those can be alot of fun, they do get depressing after a while. Also the original intent was just to troll people who would, at the time, throw a tantrum at the idea that someone would dare cut off their husbano's precious hair.

Duo definitely influenced my personality, some of my philosophical stances, I used him as a model for certain things, as far as where my thoughts on when/how to use violence. That is, only when you need to defend something or fight for something that matters. I think that's really the important message of the gundam series since one of the biggest message is that of pacifism. Wing explored a world were such ideals were put to the test and ultimately triumphed for a time, but peace is fragile and violence is easy.

Duo had a negative influence in my life as well. I used him as an emotional crutch, I used him as an artistic crutch, I used him as a way to seek self adulation-- or something similar to that, mostly through RP. The biggest issue of course was the fact that I altogether stopped drawing for many years, choosing instead to RP, which is why there are such gaps in my gallery.

I ended up putting all the RP related gundam images in my storage because I felt that they were just symbols of procrastination and time wasted. I don't regret making them to a certain respect, but I regret not doing my own work.

If I revisit Duo in the future, it'll either be because I feel nostalgic or because I have an idea for him. He's not really as big a part of my life as he used to be as a favorite character but he's still there. I do still like him.

And hell, maybe someone will pay me to draw him, I'll probably draw him sooner that way. /shameless shill
