#it’s just so long and dull

[gale-gentlepenguin]

Everyone wants a Year One Batman movie and then when they get it, they complain it’s too boring. No you wouldn’t have watched a movie with The Riddler setting up traps like it was a PG13 Saw.

Also the movie points out multiple times that this Batman isn’t as experienced at being a detective as his prep time counterparts are. Of course The Riddler almost won, no one actually looked in his hideout. Don’t randomly throw incel to describe The Riddler, it’s not an accurate description just because of his ideology. He wasn’t wrong about Gotham being ultra corrupt, and he’s supposed to represent how Bruce could have turned out without allies like Alfred.

A more accurate rendition of The Long Halloween might work later down the line. But as of yet there are no supervillains, just Batman being a detective in Gotham fighting corrupt police and mafioso.

You know what, you have a point about the incel comment.

But that character wasn’t the riddler.

The riddler is a narcissist that wanted someone intellectual to challenge. Thats his whole point. He wasn’t some “It’s society” problem child. Now is Gotham corrupt? Yes, that’s the point. Gotham is as corrupt, it’s a universal law.

But let’s talk about Batman.

I don’t have a problem with inexperienced Batman. That’s fine, but there is zero difference between Batman and Bruce Wayne. Bruce Wayne was a party boy billionaire that occasionally did philanthropy. Bruce Wayne is supposed to be charming, even in the origins. That’s the point. Because Bruce is the cover.

Batman here is serviceable, still figuring things out, but my goodness the level of which Batman failed is incredible. And it was all avoidable if they had actually did detective work! Like the first half of the movie makes me think it will have good detective work… and then it doesn’t. Plus Batman doesn’t come off as intimidating, he comes off as creepy.

The main problem is the length though. It just drags on for so long that you’d think that there would have been more done. If this was a two hour movie with everything that occurred, the oversight with the riddler stuff could at least be justified in a time crunch sense. But for this 3 hour movie… no.

I love your artwork so much! Your colors are so vibrant and none of the white speckles in the paper ever shows, its so impressive and I really dig it! I was wondering if you use any sort of blending medium? Like baby oil or anything? Either way, I really enjoy looking at your artwork and I'm always excited to see whatever you'll make next

I use a colorless blender (prismacolor, which is wax-based so baby oil probably wouldnt work) but my scanner is also rly bad about picking up white specks in a way photographing the art with my phone isnt, so I usually have to do some digital editing to get rid of them as well.

I do this by duplicating the layer, setting the one on top to "darken," and using the mixer brush to blend out the white spots + just use the eyedropper tool to select the color of that area (needs to be a slightly lighter shade of it) and color over the white spots with the brush tool

i edited a small bit of the original scan to show what i mean

original:

with the edited layer:

heres how it looks set to normal instead of darken, I used both the mixing brush and regular brush just to demo it

When I was in college, I had a weirdly Christian friend who I only hung out with at three in the morning in the dorm's common room. We'd talk about all kinds of bullshit. Music, religion, hobbies. I don't remember a lot about her, possibly because of chronic sleep deprivation, but I do remember one thing very clearly. I was nervous about a big test I had the next day, and she asked me if I minded if she prayed for me.

I thought about for a couple seconds and then said that no, I didn’t. Which turned out to not be what she wanted to hear.

She gave me the steady, intense look of someone who is about to say something deeply not normal and is perfectly at peace with the fact and said, "I kind of wish you did. It would mean you thought it meant something. The wolf hit with a stone howls the loudest."

And damn if I don't still think about that time to time.

Almost back home!!! I’ve been away for two weeks and I haven’t had good internet connection. Looking forward to getting back home.

I’ve been quiet cause of it, so how about a shop/merch update!! The products from my shop have already gone through a round of proofs this last week after I placed the order (as some files had gotten mixed up). I’m hoping the products finish their manufacturing and are shipped to me within this next week or so!

I’ve ordered extras of everything to put up in the shop as “in stock” after I send out my preorders, also ordered a few items as samples. They had a higher MOQ (minimum order quantity) so if they turn out well, I’d like to do a giveaway with some of them!

Favourite Resident Evil Characterizations Out of All Their Games [1/?]: Short Hair Claire Redfield in Resident Evil: Revelations 2 (2015)

[engagemythrusters]

okay so my current experiment in BDG3 is "what happens if you only recruit astarion in act 3"

how do i do that? shoot him down from afar before he talks to me, then rob him literally naked, then pass his corpse off to a character I don't plan on taking out and about with me this time. they'll carry the corpse until act three, then dump him after i murderise cazador. i'll see if i can revive him after that (or see if that ability wears off after act 1).

maybe someone has done this before. i don't know. don't tell me. this is my fun experiment.

For the ask game, what Ban would wear on a very cold day and what one of your OCs would wear to a formal event. Actually, throw in Elaine with the cold day fit too.

Trying to come up with what the characters would wear when cold was so hard when these guys are just. Not really affected by the cold at all. Still, twas fun. I hadn't drawn Elaine before so that was nice.

Sorry I don't have the OC request too. I tuckered out lol. Maybe I'll draw one later and swing back around to it. For now here's Ban teasing Elaine because she's not Purgatory-inoculated against sub-zero temps.

George and Jerry in the early Seinfeld seasons are so adorable?? George following Jerry to the laundromat just to sit and talk (s1ep1), them filling each other in on stuff during parties, Jerry calling George about something and saying he'll call him back to say how it goes???(s2ep5)

These two are literally besties!! The girls are on the PHONE. They've known each other since grade school they are literally bffsss 🫶🫶🫶💕
