"The battle is not always to the strong." - Best of Best (SUNA Electronics, 1994)
Olá! I am an amateur artist (and very soon an amateur writer) from Brazil, self-taught in my teens by constantly drawing portraits of my favorite comic book/manga/fighting game/tabletop RPG characters, now training to become the strongest artist of all!
On social media, I pretty much reblog/RT a lot of other people's art and all sorts of things from my unnecessarily extensive list of hobbies. (last updated:September 1st, 2024)
List of Interests and Favorites, in no particular order!
Movies: Predator (1987), Redline, Sword of the Stranger, The Prince of Egypt, Creepshow, Enter the Spiderverse, Blade 1 and 2, the unironic classic Above the Rim starring Tupac and the Certified LKZ Classic Anchors Aweigh!, and many many others seen below.
Card Games: for Magic the Gathering my Commander (or Modern) decks are usually zombie spam annoyance (Gisa for monoblack and Geralf for Simir), Boros aggro (Jor Kadeen), sometimes Golgari graveyard shenanigans (Lathril), and Azorius voltron (Bruna or Daxos) or control when I don't want the opponent to have any semblance of fun. For Yu-Gi-Oh!, a simple no bullshit M-Hero gorilla-style beatdown, also a pet jank Gem-Knights deck. I had a good time with Android: Netrunner and been getting into the Digimon TCG.
Pro-wrestling: can't go wrong with sweaty dudes in costumes tossing each other around in a ring, big on AEW and NXT, sometimes NJPW and occasionaly WWE when the booking doesn't suck. Also was pretty into VGCW back in the day!
Tokusatsu: can't go wrong with sweaty dudes in costumes tossing each other around in a quarry. My favorite Kamen Rider is Ryuki, Kaiju is Gamera, Ultraman is Orb and sentai is Akibarangers Go-Busters.
Fighting Games: big into Skullgirls (Beowulf/Eliza or Beowulf/Cerebella/Eliza) and Guilty Gear, mostly +R (Axl main but learning some Potemkin and Venom stuff on the side). Slowly getting into Melty Blood (F-Kouma or F-Satsuki). Can play Boxer or equivalent in any Street Fighter. In King of Fighters Kyo, Terry, Ryo, King, Iori, Kim, Ralf and Clark are pretty much guaranteed.
Anime/Manga Already made a bingo for it below.
