Quotes about the strange nature of Taliesin's existence - Day 65

Phil: "Are you guys a vampire coven? Is that what's going on?" Matt: "Well if Taliesin were here, we'd talk about it more openly, but..."

YOUNG JUSTICE X TEEN TITANS:

Onslaught has Psimon, Devastation, Icicle Junior, Holocaust, Tuppence Terror, and Tommy Terror.

Incursion has Terra, Gizmo, Blackfire, Jinx, Mammoth, and Shimmer.

I would've chose See-More as Union, Argent as Misty Kilgore, Billy Numerous as Repro, and Kitten as Nova for the job...I decided to find new ways to build OCs with the power of Google.

In a way to put this rivalry thing, here's the whole list:

Raven Vs. Terra.

Beast Boy Vs. Mammoth.

Zatanna Vs. [OFC].

Lumus [OMC] Vs. [OMC].

Catgirl I [OFC] Vs. [OFC].

Robin I [Dick Grayson] Vs. [OMC].

Arrowette I [Artemis Crock] Vs. Jinx [Nicole Diaz].

Kid Flash I [Wally West] Vs. Frostbite [Cameron Mahkent].

Rocket I [Raquel Ervin] Vs. Tuppence Terror.

Breach [OMC] Vs. Psimon.

Starfire [Koriand'r] Vs. Shimmer.

Cyborg I [Victor Stone] Vs. Gizmo [Mikron O'Jeneus].

Miss Martian [M'gann M'orzz] Vs. Blackfire [Komand'r].

Just a version of my design for the Flash villain, Pollux, done in the style of Phil Bourassa.

Hope you like it!

i wish i were more excited about m9 animated, but i'm so afraid of the things that made me fall in love with the campaign — and the show as a whole, since c2 is what i started with and still my favorite — being streamlined out because they didn't end up being "important." the messy side relationships that don't "go" anywhere, the false starts, the could-have-beens.

obviously the campaign in the form i love doesn't go away just because it gets adapted. but my personal interest in seeing it adapted wanes a lot when i think about what i would cut (or add?) for narrative cohesion.

THE LEGEND OF VOX MACHINA Character design TV series Young adults

My lead Phil Bourassa gave me the opportunity to create the big villain monster of the season 1 finale. They approved it. And then I had to do the turnaround! :-O Without a doubt the most challenging turnaround of my career! I had a lot of fun though ^^ The Legend of Vox Machina season 1 and 2 are available on Amazon Prime Video. This is the animated adaptation of the popular Youtube roleplaying show Critical Role (2M+ subscribers), produced by Titmouse Inc.

THE LEGEND OF VOX MACHINA | Season 1 Antagonists

By Phil Bourassa

[blorbologist]

Hot take, apparently, but

a) Percy's hair in TLOVM isn't that bad. It's simple and effective and the built-in shading really helps give dimension to his head. And, more importantly...

b) consider that in the earlier concept art, he does have cool hair. So the hair he ended up with was a conscious choice by Taliesin and Phil Bourassa (and any other artists involved in the process).

Look. He went from this...

... to this:

It doesn't seem all that easier to animate (and if Percy being a pain in the ass was an issue, wouldn't the simplified coat/etc. already accomplish that?), but the main thing that stands out is how much younger it makes Percy look.

Which, y'know, is important, given S1 focuses on his trauma suffered as a teenager. Which was not all that long ago.

He is young, the second youngest of Vox Machina! And a core part of Percy's character is that, despite thinking he and Vex are the only adults in the room, he is not nearly as mature as he thinks he is. Which is also apparent in his more silly moments in S2, which are also complimented by the more boyish hairstyle.

Percy shouldn't be taken too seriously, which I think is emphasized by how much Taliesin makes a point to underline his flaws and bully the character when he can. With the gunslinging and shock-white hair and cool coat and shadow demon and a castle to put it all in, he's already bordering on too cool; making him look like a stud when he's really just a nerd would make it harder to pull off comedic moments with him. On top of emphasizing the horror of what happened to him at the hands of the Briarwoods and Ripley; he's still so young.

And as an audience we need to be reminded of that when he's pulling off a cool pose or trying to flirt with Vex or getting all raspy with the Orthax voice.

Anyways, art is subjective, but Percy as a character walks the fine line between 'coolass anime protagonist' and 'cringefail nerd' and I think the artists and Taliesin knew what they were doing refusing to let him be too #badass or #hot when he's an early-mid twenties nerd wailing that he's very flammable and sniffling pathetically after giving a girl he coat.

ask game RUO: the She-Ra 2018 series

I think the art direction did an admirable job of creating mostly-proportional character designs without carcinizing into either the Phil-Bourassa houselook endemic to the DC animated stuff or the style used for ATLA and Korra. The world needs more children’s cartoons with mostly-proportional character designs in nonetheless distinct styles
