guy who has been getting really into character acting and focusing on it in their comic work: really appreciate the character acting in here. loving expressions. enjoying the poses.

#it feels silly to say HOWEVER i've seen a few ppl discuss how it seems there's been a somewhat noticeable loss #of highly considered character acting in some more recent comics. this isnt to say this is a current time exclusive issue of course #many many many comics through every single era of existence have had extremely unconsidered character acting #where expressions and body language are simply not considered. it is in fact very much a skill to do good character acting #like it's easy to do in a very basic sense everyone can. but to do it particularly well is on the same level of making it feel #like characters are TRULY interacting and touching on a page physically. which like seems easy. seems like everyone drawing can do it.#but once you see it REALLY pulled off especially well your standards get raised. and you notice little things like that a lot more.#what feels truly interactive vs what looks interactive vs what feels like placing stickers on top of each other.#which again. everyone can notice. but it also is a skill for sure built up over time.#but anyways. it's on that level where you start to notice what feels like just a throwaway pose bc someone needs a character standing #vs that character really would have their hands on their hips or arms crossed bc it fits who they are. silly as it sounds #it's like posture. not every character is the type to idly arm cross or hip hold the way others will stand up straight while others slouch #choosing if a character leans forward with their chest vs with their hips. do they typically keep themselves open? closed off? etc #it sounds silly to take so seriously. but like. it is a skill. it really is.#it is one that can take a character from just someone you have a sense of thru the text and can see them on a page #to feeling like you know them bc you see their mannerisms in tandem with their personality all in what the text is telling you.#so having the skill to nicely handle both subtle and exaggerated expressions and posing really does make a difference!!!#it really elevates it.#sorry to be so silly about all this i know it isnt that serious but i dont know. i like expression my admiration of it.#every artist can do character acting. but it is still in fact a skill to handle it really well bc not everyone does #i think my good hater example is like. why i have some bleh feelings towards certain popular pump it out fast webtoon styles.#bc it's so pump it out quick (which is another issue entirely) it loses a lot of stuff like this. characters are slapped onto a page #with slapped on expressions. and it feels like character acting isn't super considered. like theyre drawn fine and stuff.#but it doesnt always feel fit to the character or the situation etc etc from stuff i've seen.#like would a character express and stand like that? or is that just ur default go to bc it's a very easy way to show that.#silly nitpick but it's a real one i think that is valid to consider #and disclaimer no not all of them are like that clearly. but i dont think it's a close to zero number either. from my observations.

Kingdom Hearts 3 - The Caribbean

#kingdom hearts 3 #kh3 #the caribbean #scenery #my gif #my favorite world in the game #it's so beautifully crafted and fun to explore #they did such a good job with port royal i'm no expert on the movies but i'm sure it's a super faithful recreation #there are so many lush islands to find with caves full of treasure. it's like a real pirate adventure #i'm glad that we're able to dive into the water because i really like underwater scenery and being able to freely swim around #i love sora's pirate outfit and that he gets a ship of his own to sail. he has such a blast in this world #the banter between sora donald goofy and jack while on the ship is a lot of fun too #big fan of how they integrated the organization's search for the black box with the chest that contains davy jones's heart #gotta love when the main story ties into the plot of a disney movie #the final cutscenes in this world are insane and so well rendered that they're almost indistinguishable from the movie #i sent screenshots to friends asking if they could tell the difference and they couldn't #not that i'm complaining because it really elevated the experience but why did they go so hard

linus has always needed his tightknit friendgroup!! i call them the chums. my philosophy with crafting them all was making it feel like they are a sitcom ensemble and it's been so fun putting them in situations together. i had a blast designing these sea creachers in a splatoony way and i'm super proud of how they came out, i hope u enjoy them too!!

#long post sorry #ive been sitting on them for a while hence the giant pile of doodles but i figure they gotta see the world #linus #chums #draws #shout out to my bestie jeff who is a writing mastermind and helped me flesh them out and really elevated them all with me :DDD

any recommendations for analog horror that isnt a slideshow with microsoft sam telling you DONT LOOK OUTSIDE. like something unique lately

#something i really liked was the “lost media: obscure security system” one #and its unfortunate that its the only one from that individual at the moment #im giving “nocturnal chronicles” a shot but it starts off with poorly edited footage from... metropolis.#like we just put a scary face over her and had questionable glitch effects #the boiled one was cute- not exactly the most... idk compelling analog horror but the custom art and animation #can elevate a story youve heard a million times before #i am also trying to check out hit metal 17 times but Instagram

Watching a playthrough of dead plate and I'm at the dinner party part AND I think it'd be really funny if the attendees to the dinner party assumed rody was vincent's boyfriend and that's why he was helping out

#random thoughts #dead plate #'oh vincent you have your boyfriend whipped' actually something much more insane is happening #this is by the same creator as elevator pitch and though i enjoyed that game's gameplay and art style MORE #i REALLY like the characterization of vincent #and i like the writing! it's a much more cohesive game than elevator pitch #elevator hitch i mean. i keep fucking up the name #'oh you have your boyfriend helping out' 'boyfriend? that's insane'#'who . . . is he then?' 'my employee i invited here under false pretenses'#i bet rody's girl is gonna be there

Pictures of George where he looks like he would stare deeply and knowingly into your eyes as you poured out all your troubles over a glass of wine but also he's playing a really annoying fucking song on the ukulele the whole time so you're not 100% sure if he's listening to you or if that's just his face

#shitpost #george harrison #does he remind anyone else of jeff goldblum...?#they look really thoughtful and wise #but part of you feels like it's just elevator music up there #or Jeff's case maybe some kind of experimental jazz #the beatles #beatles #op

just an appreciation post for the set itself. my GOD have they outdone themselves this time

#vip is not super my brand of humor but i was so thrilled when we first saw the set bc it all fits together SO nicely #and this. this tops it by EONS #goddd. so much i could say. where do i even START #the color scheme is so gorgeous. the depth of the green and the accents and the lighting.........#and how all of it is warm-toned in suuuuch a masterful way #all the little items scattered around the set.......#the book bindings and the layout and the furniture design...........#it all creates this really wonderful balence of being busy but not overwhelming #like instead of drawing attention away for themselves #every little piece is precisely chosen to elevate the whole of the composition #it's. incredible. the artistry of it #and the close-ups themselves...... kudos to whoever shot those because my GODDD are they perfect #truly an otherworldly level of cohesive #just. mwah. mwah. sublime #aspen tag #dropout.tv #dropout #dropout tv #smartypants

I know this is just a silly bad quality random screencap of a screencap that I found on facebook lol, BUT it's a succinct enough image to easily describe the concept in a quick/accessible way hopefully :

-

(and of course, feel free to elaborate in tags, etc.! (especially elaborating about other senses as well.. can you "hear" in your mind just as well as you can "see"? taste? etc.) It's an interesting topic to me, as someone who's like a 4.5 at MOST lol. I'm curious what option will be the most common :0c )

#tumblr polls #hrmm... a little poll perhaps.. about a subject I find interesting.. since this image came across my facebook today #still really not feeling that well. no longer shaking violently and such but I still feel weird and weak much more than usual #They did say my markers for like infection or inflammation were elevated but that they werent sure of the cause so hopefully #it's nothing too serious. they did also say a lot of different things can cause that thing to be higher than normal but didn't go into spec #fics of what. maybe some of them are relatively benign or something. I still havent felt much back to normal since #I got really sick that one time though. I feel fine on and off but then little bouts of feeling weird and sick happen. hrmmm #ANYWAY.. looking for small ways to be productive. such as little doodles on evil ipad or editing game videos #or posting polls or cat pictures or some other like not very labor intensive things #I WISH I COULD FOCUS on writing HHRGGhh... I need to finish my game.. it would be so freeing.. a project that's been looming #over my head for like 5 years even though througouht that 5yrs I've probably spent a total of 3 months working on it lo.. ANYWAY #I still partially really cannot beleive that people CAN see stuff in their heads. There's always part of me that's thinking like. well mayb #e everyone DOES see the same exact thing but we just describe/conceptualize it so differently that we think we're talking about #different things when we're really not. But I have been assured by people I've talked to about it that they can GENUINELY really see #stuff in their heads like as vivid as an actual picture in real life or something. And the other senses are neat too. Like for exmaple I #can hear in my head much better than I can see imagery. I still CANNOT hear vividly like as if I were listening to actual music out loud..#but I think it's developed more than my sight. AND interesting how this varies the creative process. a friend I was talking to on the phone #said they write by literally just watching stuff play before them like a movie. where my process is COMPLETELY different. AND that affects #the content/what details we focus on as well as our individual styles of writing have differences that can be traced back to that.. hrmm
