Replica Donnie: Technodrome Sniper.
(More info under the cut:)
In his prime, Donnie was the only known fighter who could successfully hit an infant Technodrome while it was in low orbit (they actually don't come down to Earth normally except to attack). He had the firepower, the precision, but most importantly the mind needed to calculate exactly where they were going to be ten seconds in the future for his attacks to make contact. While he was never able to do enough serious damage to the mother Technodrome, he did manage to use this method to plant a tracker on it that still works to this day.
Finally have the time to put some of my concepts to paper. Really wanted to figure out where these boys were in the height of their power and how to make them even more powerful than the teens at the end of the series. Donnie makes a big show of using a shot put technique in Purple Jacket, so it feels only natural that he'd know how to javelin throw as well. Seems more up his alley if you ask me. I don't foresee this concept being used in any of the Replica flashbacks I have planned, so figured I would share for posterity. (NOTE: outfit not finalized yet)

Sufjan Stevens | Shit Talk
No more fighting, no more talking shit
Do as I say, not as I give up, not as I've failed to live
In the future there will be a terrible cost
For all that we've left undone
Deliver me from everything I've put off
And all that we've lost
I will always love you, but I cannot live with you
No more fighting, I've nothing left to give
I've nothing but atrophy
Did I cross you? Did I fail to believe in positive thoughts?
Our romantic second chance is dead
I buried it with the hatchet
Quit your antics, put them at the foot of the bed
And set it on fire
I will always love you, but I cannot look at you
Hold me closely
Hold me tightly, lest I fall
No, I don't wanna fight at all

🇺🇲 Step back in time and experience the roar of the iconic AMC Javelin, a true legend of American muscle cars! Introduced in 1967 by American Motors Corporation (AMC), the Javelin was a front-engine, rear-wheel-drive, two-door hardtop automobile manufactured across two generations, spanning from 1968 through 1970 and then from 1971 through 1974 model years. It was designed to compete in the pony car market segment against rivals like the Ford Mustang and Chevrolet Camaro.
🚗💨 The AMC Javelin burst onto the scene in 1968, showcasing a sleek design and powerful engines. Styled by Dick Teague, the Javelin offered a range of trim and engine levels, from economical pony car variants to high-performance muscle car models. Its distinctive appearance, featuring a long hood and aggressive stance, turned heads on the streets and racetracks alike.
🏭 Besides being manufactured in Kenosha, Wisconsin, Javelins were also assembled under license in Germany, Mexico, the Philippines, Venezuela, and Australia, showcasing its global reach. American Motors even offered discounts to U.S. military personnel, leading to many Javelins being exported overseas.
🛞 Under the hood, the Javelin packed serious power. It was available with inline-six engines or potent V8s, delivering thrilling acceleration and speed. The AMX variant, equipped with a 6.4-liter V8, boasted over 300 horsepower!
🏆 The AMC Javelin wasn't just about looks—it excelled on the track too. It competed in Trans-Am racing, demonstrating its speed and agility. In fact, the second-generation AMX variant was the first pony car used as a standard vehicle for highway police car duties by an American law enforcement agency. Today, the Javelin's unique style and racing heritage make it a sought-after classic among collectors.
💔 By 1974, the automobile landscape had shifted. While other manufacturers downsized engines in response to changing market demands and fuel shortages, the Javelin's big engine option continued until production ceased in November 1974 amidst the Arab oil embargo and declining interest in high-performance vehicles.
🦅 The AMC Javelin embodies the spirit of American muscle cars, blending style, performance, and affordability. It's a timeless classic that continues to capture the hearts of car enthusiasts everywhere. Get ready to hit the road and experience the thrill of the AMC Javelin!

Physics? What physics?
SkyWings are the only tribe capable of doing crazy aerial manuevers in tandem with wielding ranged weaponry. Flips, dives and rolls are in their regiment for handling arms.
Most throwing weapons are actually only for ground targets due to their heavy weight so soldiers usually attach a live Dragonflame Cactus on their javelins before tossing it; they're better off using their fire or spears on air-to-air combat. They could also simply hover on top of the enemy dragon formation and start dropping their blades, but this has been proven inaccurate and ineffective so they stopped the practice.
I don't know what the direction this piece went towards. I just wanted to sketch a dragon diving and throwing a javelin but my mind screamed at me to add motion lines and background.

Sufjan Stevens | Will Anybody Ever Love Me?
Chase away my heart and heartache
Run me over, throw me over, cast me out
Find a river running to the west wind
Just above the shoreline, you will see a cloud
Tie me to a tiny wooden raft
Burn my body, point me to the undertow
Push me off into the void at last
Watch me drift and watch me struggle, let me go
Cause I really wanna know
Will anybody ever love me?
For good reasons, without grievance, not for sport
Will anybody ever love me?
In every season, pledge allegiance to my heart
Pledge allegiance to my burning heart

Really weird how people who don’t know much of anything about Sufjan Stevens are like “why did he keep his relationship a secret?” Like. He literally didn’t. He just hasn’t really talked about his personal life in the last 15-odd years. Do we as the audience really need to know the intimate details of the lives of every artist we like? Must we form parasocial bonds with everyone who can plunk out a groovy tune? Isn’t it enough that a wasp came after him in a predatory manner?
