Somebody has got to draw Etho's washing machine as an actual washing machine that's just painted like a magma and Grian is just dragging it around. 😂

that "what's a soulmate?" quote but it's about them

my friend is adapting a book into a graphic novel, and so I was venting about how frustrating trying to read the beast and 15 manga has been. for me, the stylized art, while attractive at a glance, only shallowly engages in storytelling. instead, the artist seems far more preoccupied with (i) the aesthetic of individual panels and (ii) obscuring/hand-waving/distracting from the wonky perspectives, poorly designed panels, lack of movement/dynamism, and other technical inadequacies. if it was just a matter of the artist's skill falling short of their intention, that would be fine; but my impression is that there isn't any intention to work within the medium or engage in storytelling, and it deeply frustrates me because bsd's other adaptations have spoiled me by using the limitations and strengths of their mediums to expound on the story. by contrast, the 15 and beast manga struggle to tell any narrative, much less elaborate on the original.

but! I'm not an artist, and although I read a ton of comic books and manga, that doesn't mean I understand their technical components. hoshikawa's adaptations are also so lauded in the fandom, i also started to wonder if I wasn't just like projecting flaws onto it that didn't exist for no other reason than to be contrarian.

so i explained all of this and gave my friend my copy of the first volume of 15 to get their perspective. and after they flipped through a few pages, they were like the art seems technically fine to me. so I was like okay great I'm just being bitter then. and then they tried to actually read the panels, froze, and said, "oh." to which I was like, "the panels don't make sense when read together, right?" and they replied, "i don't think you can even call this sequential art."

which is to say, I've been vindicated, and what I lack in social grace, I have in metacognition and storytelling craft.

Scottish Fiction / Edwin Morgan It isn't in the mirror It isn't on the page It's a red hearted vibration Pushing through the walls of dark imagination Finding no equation There's a red road rage But it's not road rage It's asylum seekers engulfed by a grudge Scottish friction, Scottish fiction It isn't in the castle It isn't in the mist It's a calling of the waters as they break to show The new black death with reactors aglow You think your security Can keep you in purity You will not shake us off Above or below Scottish friction, Scottish fiction

Storyboard for Landslide video

[dapper-nahrwhale]

[ID a cropped wip of boxes, pictures with a limited color pallet of red, yellow, blue, and white in a row, a sunrise over an iceberg, half of a tub of ice cream, half of trees in a snowbank with a sunset, and two hands one pulling away the other grabbing on tightly. end ID]

this wasn't what i meant when i said i need to create more weird art i meant something that made sense...

Anyways if anyone knows any program to make an animatic (pictures and sound) or smth with free or cheap stuff or whatever lmk bcuz I want to do that so desperately but whatever free thing have already on my computer makes the quality SO crunchy and bad i can't bring myself to use it. So crowd sourcing this info plze help

Ojalá I get to take a class on international sci-fi film next semester. It's at 7pm to 10pm but that will be worth it.

btw maybe I’m misremembering but do any other people who read the dungeon meshi manga remember the resurrection being a bit more…neutral?

like I haven’t read it in a while so I could be totally off base but I felt like the “dark magic” was much less scary in the manga. Like it was powerful, sure, and bloody, obviously. But the way the anime makes it all dark and ominous kinda makes marcille’s line about “there’s no such thing as good or evil magic” feel almost comical.

“Magic is a tool it has no morality” then why do you have eldritch whispers playing in the background, Marcille? Why do we have dark souls boss music here?

Why did I think that Grey Prime could play anything opening week (or really anytime) and not utterly break the game?
