A-anime?

you know, sometimes I forget that Twst is actually an isekai that starts with the protagonist getting run over by an inexplicable horse-drawn carriage. and every time I'm reminded is a delight because that's AMAZING.

also. look. okay. there's a lot of very fun stuff in the trailer but I am obsessed with that Crowley surprised pikachu face. me when I spend all my keys and gems literally hours before they announce overblot SSRs and drop the anime trailer:

I really like MLP stuff because I feel like a lot of artists choose to set their stories in the 20's(makes sense it's a cool time period). But when drawing their characters and settings they look mostly at the fashion and the architecture and not the drawings of the time. Which always made me sad because the commercial illustrations, comics and paintings look so good and still feel totally modern and fresh even though they are almost 100 years old.

Anyways I just want to say that your art really has that sleek modern feel and I was wondering if there were any specific illustrators that you keep in mind or if I'm just making stuff up in my head

This is a small thing I've also been struggling with art for the AU project. Deciding whether or not I want it to truly feel authentic to the 20s/30s or draw what feels natural to me. I ended up going with the latter because if I'm constantly forcing myself to draw in a style that doesn't feel right for me, it'll stop being fun really quickly and I'll burn out. That's why a lot of the illustrations feel more anime-ish.

That being said, I pull a lot of inspiration from 50s-60s pulp comics (especially in the CYMK color palettes) and 1920s graphic artists like Leyendecker and Hirschfeld. In terms of graphic design, I'll sometimes pull from art deco, art nouveau, or reference the visual flourishes of book covers from the time period.

I know this is supposed to be a gundam reference but. It literally transforms

I don't think anything will ever be funnier than Banesaw's first of his only two sentences being, "Finally, I get to kill a Schnee," knocking Weiss unconscious in a single hit, then just chucking her into the next room so Blake can save her

Okay I am just gonna say it: Past Ming was not scummy enough. He only got to be unhinged for like 5 minutes of this episode after a couple weeks of the show giving him the poor sad boy treatment instead of leaning into his most toxic traits. I need him to be much worse for this character archetype to work.

Because it's May the Fourth I may as well mention that I am frequently thinking about the fact that Owen Carvour deserves to have a lightsaber.

i think ninjago fans need to rewatch s3e7 every once in a while. to keep them humble and remind them of the wonders of an early 2010s lego that didn’t give a shit

I've got big opinions on dream sequences in writing. Which is mostly that they really shouldn't be there like 90% of the time because they grind the narrative to a halt, but I think they CAN have value. It's just that they tend to be executed in a way that's kind of pointless.

It's mostly that a lot of writers have the sequences be literal 1:1 depictions of the character's anxieties or feelings, or otherwise the absolute most on the nose symbolism possible. And it's not like dreams are NEVER like that, but why bother stopping the narrative to include a full sequence that essentially just repeats information the reader already knows?

If it's established that Character A is scared that Character B will get murdered by Jeff the Killer, and then A has an entire dream sequence of B getting Jeff the Killed and A wakes up sweating like 'Noooooooooo I do not want that to happen noooooo' it's jsut like. Yeah I knew that already?

There's been some real stinkers in the latest releases (that tarot Subaru was.... bad) but this one really takes the cake.

You're telling me this is supposed to be Sho?

This guy??

I'm just gonna copy-paste the list of sins from venting earlier. Good grief:

-unusual expression for this character -strongly colored lighting which makes his light-blue hair look dark green -doesn't have his usual hairstyle or accessories -unusual outfit for character (part of a series but it's honestly just not a good outfit in a game known for really good outfits) -the MOST Yaoi Hand in the whole game, which is in the foreground of the shot

Like, the game already has a pretty bad Same Face Syndrome problem, now they're stripping characters of what few unique design elements they usually have in order to make... I'm not sure why they released this one, because you know what?

You know what's even better?

The Warding Card released in the same banner has significantly more characteristic art! They literally had a better option and chose to make the worse art with less personality (and very mangled hand in the foreground) as their centerpiece. What??

The problem - several problems, I suppose - is that they changed way too many elements of the character's design at once. The expression looks more like some Romeo cards than Sho. The Warding Card has him smiling and in the same outfit with his hair down, but it looks more like the actual character. The left hand is still a little yaoi-ish but it genuinely looks better in basically every way, and I don't understand why they picked the art they did for the cards they did. These should be swapped.
