No but like what the fuck happened during the production of Pacific Rim: Uprising?????
This is some old drivesuit art created by artist Kelton Cram. It's maybe a little overdesigned, but it looks pretty decent:
And here's concept art from the same artist, with the cheap-looking drivesuit the film actually went with:
Now here's some old concept art for Bracer Phoenix, designed by Evan Whitefield, and it absolutely slaps with its weird-shaped conn-pod and asymmetrical pauldrons:
Here's the design used in the actual film by the same artist, now made generic and boring:
Like who the fuck was standing over these guys like "Mmmmmmm nice designs fellas, but can you make them look, you know, worse?"

Josh, Anna, and the Ms - announce M7, a girl born in autumn

Jill, Derick, Izzy & Sam - Izzy loves school, Sam continues to make the best faces, Derick gets no acknowledgement from his in-laws for finishing law school, & JillyMuffin finds her life purpose as a (virtual?) PTA mom
Benessa, Spud, Hashbrown, and Eyevy - announce Seewald 4, a boy born in summer. We still never find out what Ben does for a living.
JinJer, Lissy, and Evy Baby Joey - live their greige life in colorful LA but somehow remain the most popular sub-Duggars.
Joe, Kendra, Garrett, Addie - baby girl born mid-February, #4 on the way by Christmas.
SiRen’s alphabet soup - announce and birth baby girl “C”

Zach, Whit, Brad, Kaci, & Khloé Eileen - baby #4 born early June, and it’s a boy.
Michael and Brandon - work, pray, babysit nieces and nephews

Lawson - yep, still single at the end of the year. Yep, still a desperate dumbass.
Nesther - formally announce they’re married in a few months. Catalog their relationship on social media like normal boring humans. Woohoo!

Trace - courts again, picks a “proper” fundie girl this time
StewCrew - continue to be a living gimmick, and add one by December
Josie, Kelton, and Willow - #2 is another girl, with another nature name, with yet another (and another)(and another) photo shoot. Josie’s business has lots of success!

Middle boys - Jackson never joins the military, Warden has the first successful Bates boy first courtship, and Isaiah is only ever seen in the background.
Little girls and lost boys - who the heck knows.

Interview of Nadezda Nikolova-Kratzer at Rfotofolio by Constance Rose.
Would you please tell us a little about yourself?
I am a photographic artist, living and working in Oakland, CA, with my husband and son.
Where did you get your photographic training?
I studied historic processes at the University of Kentucky and with Mark Osterman at the George Eastman Museum. I was also a member of the Lexington Camera Club, whose original members notably included Ralph Eugene Meatyard, Robert C. May, Van Deren Coke and other visionaries.
A gentleman, Wendell Decker, whose kindness I will never forget, showed me the ropes with wet plate collodion and helped me acquire equipment after which I embarked on a self-guided learning journey. Initially, I focused on making tintypes and ambrotypes but soon I began exploring the possibilities of using the process for camera-less work that walks the line between photography and painting.
Who has had an influence on your creative process?
I find inspiration in art that is stripped to its essentials such as Helen Frankenthaler’s color stained canvases, Agnes Martin’s understated meditations, Ellsworth Kelly’s chance studies, etc. Work that is contemplative, even spiritual, resonating beyond the thinking mind speaks to me.
Having a primary interest in non-traditional uses of photography, I look to artist who explore the materiality of the medium and are pushing its boundaries: Alison Rossiter, Ellen Carey, Gary Fabian Miller, Michael Flomen, Chuck Kelton, and others.
Please tell us about an image (not your own) that has stayed with you over time.
Of course, there are many and it is difficult to choose one, so I will stay with one of the above-mentioned artists, Alison Rossiter.
Art that is able to make a strong statement with limited means moves me. We can never approach the complexity of the world by attempting to recreate it, the best we can hope is to chisel away the inessential. The photogram is the most rudimentary photographic technology, using light, photosensitive surface, and objects that block the light, forming a silhouette. I appreciate the photogram’s simplicity, essentially, we are experiencing light and the absence of it, in a careful balancing act. I am interested in this dance between darkness and the light, control and surrender. I also find shadows as interesting as forms (if not more so), as they engage our imagination and connect with us on a more primal and non-intellectual level.
My latest series is inspired by Alison Rossiter’s sensual photograms on expired silver gelatin paper, some of which I was fortunate to see in person at SFMOMA. The balanced shapes and intriguing artifacts in Rossiter’s prints, resembling graphical work and paintings more than photographs, moved me to explore a similar direction using the wet plate collodion process.
What image of yours would you say taught you an important lesson?
Because my artistic practice requires treading uncharted territories, I could share mountains of “failed” photograms that taught me something new about the process or triggered new ideas.
What makes a good day for you creatively speaking?
The ability to have uninterrupted darkroom time and being fully present with the process regardless of the outcome.
If you could spend a day with any other photographer or artist living or passed who would it be?
Julia Margaret Cameron.
What equipment have you found essential in the making of your work?
I require very little in terms of equipment for my process – darkroom, chemistry, light, aluminum, paper and scissors, sink and water. I do not use enlargers but print directly by exposing objects over the sensitized collodion emulsion.
What hangs on your walls?
Our walls are crammed with artworks by contemporary artists working in historical processes. We also collect daguerreotypes, hand-painted tintypes, and other historic photographs.
What’s on the horizon?
The 2019 Photography Show by AIPAD with HackelBury Fine Art, London.
Thank you Nadezda.
