#this is inspired by a dream i had that i found quite poignant when applied to the real world#and it's hostility and slowly creeping illegality of simply existing in public space#and was a very fun activity using paint.net's 3d pane tool which i had totally forgotten was literally a base program tool#i also feel pretty proud of the “Our City Safe” slogan with it's implied hostility by saying it's OUR city#and we're keeping it safe from YOU#you being poor/homeless/lower class/minorities/not actively benefitting from capitalism people#i think it says a lot in very little words#my art#my creation#hostile architecture#anticapitalism#third space#street sign#iridescent

i think the key to being a successful classroom teacher is having an ordinary classroom material (eg pen, highlighter, book) but in a really and truly ridiculous size and using it regularly without comment. nothing both throws off and enchants a student of any age than more than walking up to your desk to ask you a question and pausing with baffled uncertainty as they see you grading papers with a pen so large you cannot actually hold it the way you would normally hold a writing utensil. there is a brief moment as they look at you where you are able to raise an eyebrow and go "yes?" while acting like absolutely nothing is odd about the fact that you are currently writing with a multicolor my little pony pen that is half the girth of your forearm and in that moment you hold the most power in the entire school. use it wisely
#it gets them every time#only other thing that works as well as this is when i use my little plastic grabber tool to take their papers from them#sarah teaches latin#queueusque tandem abutere catilina patientia nostra

there's something so deeply dystopian to me how tech companies don't understand that a forced convenience is not a convenience at all. i'm sure autocorrect is helpful for many, but a function that forcibly changes my actual written words and punctuation is taking away my language. photo filters can be nice but i need to choose using them myself or else i have lost the ability to take the picture i want. i don't want a machine to draw or write for me. taking away the option for me to do things manually feels like violence!!!! all this talk of endless opportunity, why are you RESTRICTING me
#haha im upset an android update removed my most used screenshotting tools while forcing more ai garbage on me#tech companies go sit in the staircase and think about what you've done#there are many technical conveniences i choose to rely on because they're convenient for my sensibilities#but these should not be the default for anyone or the only option#it's like. it's technology. it has the capability of being personalised for our actual use and convenience like isn't that the POINT#AHHHHHHHHH#also with all the ai bullshit it's so hard to fully underline how much i enjoy the act of drawing and creating and i don't WANT it to be#more 'convenient' or easy?#not in the eay techbros think anyway. i think there should be accessibility tools and options to make the Process good for Your Needs#which is not. having a machine create something in your stead ??? ??????????

The way Remmick dunking Sammie in the climax of the film worked as a forced baptism? A precursor to a ‘conversion’ to vampirism? The one-sided conversation Remmick has about the imposition of Christianity, his own forcible conversion that he now inflicts on another young man, all while speaking as though he, Remmick, is better and more enlightened than his own oppressors? The violence of the scene, the terror and distress we see on Sammie’s face as he is waterboarded by Remmick. That it is all a metaphor for the actual violence of forced conversion, the mental, emotional, social and even physical helplessness and disorientation that is felt in the victim made tangible through Caton’s performance. All of it inflicted with an intention to control and subjugate.
Holy. Goddamn. Shit.
#don’t even get me started on the lighting and sound and editing for that scene??????#oh my god. when Sammie grabs the guitar the tool of his ancestors and his actual religion. the one he believes in and carries with him#and uses it to smash remmick’s head in??#there’s a flash of lighting and a soundscape of rock music??#remmick’s pretention is shut down#bills were due on that day. because they acted their asses off#this was a team effort I know. cameras and editing team and sound crew everyone#wowee#sinners#sinners 2025#sinners (2025)#sinners spoilers#Ryan Coogler#my post#miles caton

#I love these datamoshing things i think I’m going to play around with it#I think it’s been underutilized as a tool#since you can use it selectively if you want#you can make a gif were the effect occurrs at variable points#pmmm

in fanworks, i usually see casey hced as being around present leo's age, so like 16, and then later i found out his canonical age is confirmed to be a vague "around late teens or 20" which is really funny to me bc that's such a huge gap at that age span. now whenever his age comes up anywhere i've just been picturing this meme in my head
#art#rottmnt#rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles#casey jones#casey jones jr#casey jr#i never know what to tag this guy#rottmnt leo#when you've been drawing nothing but pixel art for the last month#and you go back to regular art and realize you can use the liquify tool again...

i hope everyone in nintendo’s management department dies and goes to hell no matter what and i’m not kidding
#WERE LOSING YUZU AND CITRA. I DONT KNOW IF YOU ALL UNDERSTAND HOW INSANE THIS IS#game emulation enables piracy yes but it’s also an INCREDIBLY powerful archival tool.#there are plenty of games out there that only exist in their original formats due to emulation.#this lawsuit has HORRIBLE implications for video game history. it makes it incredibly easy for companies to scorched earth their products#if they’re not profitable enough. ART IS GOING TO BE LOST BECAUSE OF THIS. GAMES PEOPLE WORKED INCREDIBLY HARD ON#it won’t just happen to bad games. it won’t just happen to old games. they will use this to keep their remake/virtual console model going#forever and you will never be able to play your favorite games in their true original forms ever again.#i am fucking INSANELY mad rn. capitalism is the death of art fr#personal

trying new coloring methods. 0/10 do NOT recommend, but hey at least i got something kinda okay out of it
#this was based on a sketch i posted a few days ago cuz i didnt have any ideas for compositions#-and i wanted to try a new rendering method i saw on youtube#the method btw is to start in greyscale so you can get the values right before using the curves tool to adjust colors#i ended up hating it though because my colors always wound up feeling basic#i think it works better in lighting situations where the light’s color is neutral#i used a bunch of gradient maps and overlay layers to try and fix it bc it was looking VERY muddy and weird#and i think i did successfully save it after a lot of frustration#but i will likely not be trying this method again cause i like using funky lighting and colors#art#fanart#digital art#dc comics#tim drake fanart#tim drake robin#tim drake#red robin fanart#robin fanart#dc robin#robin#red robin
