DUKE HAMMOND

[justdealingwithsomeissues]

They hype up someone will die this issue and in the end, it is *checks notes* the Jewish scientist brother of the Golem... that's it... really kinda unravels at the end there...

[thegabberwocky]

Various recent sketches.

1. A young Duke Red. Took inspiration from Jet Link and various Tsars of Russia for his design.

2. 2009 Hamegg I did during a call with Sukie and Tec. I forgot I made that comment at the bottom.😭

3. My designs for my headcanon of Hamegg’s parents. Biscayn’ Gravy (my OC) and Bacon Egg. Tried to balance out the features so neither looked like a clone of Ham, also added features of Tohnan and my OC Tatiana as I headcanon they’re siblings of him.

4. Experimental drawing of Caccitore I feel rather indifferent about.

Josephine Baker (30) in New York to promote appearance in the Ziegfeld Follies, Photo by Murray Korman, 1936.

National Portrait Galley, London.

The photo session dates from 1936 and was taken in New York to promote Bakers appearance in the Ziegfeld Follies - the first and last black star ever to do so. Josephine appeared in three segments, dancing and then singing. This photo illustrates the third segment of her appearance where she performed the song “Five a.m.” by Vernon Duke and Ira Gershwin and was choreographed by Georges Balanchine. The outfits were designed by Vincent Minelli, and this dress was gold in colour. Baker is depicted here with her dancers in the “Five a.m.” segment. (ref p100 Josephine Baker, by Hammond & O’Connor 1988 and p168 Jazz Cleopatra by Phyllis Rose).

CORONATION PART 4: THE HOMAGE

Cameron Dorly [SNN]: Welcome back to the coronation of Queen Katherine I. As Her Majesty moves to the Homage chair, we get a glimpse of King Felipe and Queen Aoki of Oasis Springs.

Shon Gableton [SNN]: Further down his row is President and First Gentleman of the United States of Americreek, Paulina and Prescott McNally.

Cameron Dorly [SNN]: Yes! Just behind them is the Emperor and Empress of Sulani, Keanu and Lorelei Boulle.

Cameron Dorly [SNN]: Her Majesty has made her way to the Homage chair as we get a glimpse of the first to kneel.

Shon Gableton [SNN]: The Duke of Kent is first to pay homage.

Prince Louis: "I Louis, Duke of Kent, pledge my loyalty to you in faith and truth. I will bear unto you, as your liege man of life and limb, so help me God."

Prince Vester: "I Vester, Duke of Hastings, pledge my loyalty to you in faith and truth. I will bear unto you, as your liege man of life and limb, so help me God."

Shon Gableton [SNN]: We now move to the crowning of Prince Rainier. It appears he will not be kneeling.

Shon Gableton [SNN]: His Royal Highness is being crowned with The Prince Rainier Crown.

Cameron Dorly [SNN]: The crown was made for His Royal Highness, unlike the crown worn by Queen Rowena. Her Majesty wears Queen Lara-Leigh’s Crown, designed by Hammond & Co for the 1888 coronation of her husband, King Edward I.

Shon Gableton [SNN]: The same crown she wore for the 1992 coronation of her husband, King George I?

Cameron Dorly [SNN]: Yes! Her Majesty just removed the arches.

Cameron Dorly [SNN]: His Royal Highness is making his way back to his Estate chair, after removing his robe. While The Queen sat in the Coronation Chair to be crowned, His Royal Highness will be seated in his Chair of Estate when the Crown is placed on his head.

Shon Gableton [SNN]: Windenburg has officially crowned it's first Prince consort!

Cameron Dorly [SNN]: Her Majesty is moving back to the Enthronement chair, for the final proclamation, after removing her supertunica.

Shon Gableton [SNN]: Her Majesty also appears to now be wearing The Imperial State Crown.

Cameron Dorly [SNN]: Good catch, Shon!

Archbishop of Calgary: "I hereby present unto you your undoubted Queen and Prince consort of the most holy realm of Windenburg."

All: “All hail the Queen! All hail the Queen! All hail the Queen!”

learned about this piece of music, come sunday by omar thomas, via quixotic artisan on tiktok

(tiktok) - this piece is *so fun*

audience energy of the baylor recording is great but I love this one too - second movement starts at 5:58 and it's just. so exuberant! pure joy

Omar Thomas:

Come Sunday is a two-movement tribute to the Hammond organ’s central role in black worship services. The first movement, Testimony, follows the Hammond organ as it readies the congregation’s hearts, minds, and spirits to receive The Word via a magical union of Bach, blues, jazz, and R&B. The second movement, Shout!, is a virtuosic celebration - the frenzied and joyous climactic moments when The Spirit has taken over the service.

The title is a direct nod to Duke Ellington, who held an inspired love for classical music and allowed it to influence his own work in a multitude of ways. To all the black musicians in wind ensemble who were given opportunity after opportunity to celebrate everyone else’s music but our own - I see you and I am you. This one’s for the culture!

[justdealingwithsomeissues]

A HUGE Roy Thomas exposition dump. Kinda funny that they waited til the 3rd book to tell you the back story of any of these characters and then decided to do all of them at once.

[csleko]

Boba Fett Cosplay (COMPLETE)

The "unrelated and more time sensitive project" I mentioned at the end of my Kinect tale? It was finishing this cosplay so I could wear it for the first time to Duke City Comic Con. I was actually almost considering not going because I found out about it on kind of short notice, and I didn't know if I really wanted to go by myself, but I mentioned it to my mom and she asked if she could go with me just for the heck of it.

So now that the project had a deadline, I could actually finish the damn thing!

If you've been following my #cosplay tags, you might notice that this armor is, in fact, not the worbla-covered foam version I previously posted. This is version *3* of the armor, and it is 3D-printed like every other solid piece of the costume. I just yanked the lights off the version 2 armor and stuck 'em on this one. The shoulder armor and belt buckle I modeled and printed myself, and my mom proved indispensable yet again by volunteering her vastly superior sewing skills to turn this jacket from Goodwill into the armor vest.

She also pulled out all the of insulation, and sewed some elastic loops inside it to hold little ice packs to help keep me from dying of heatstroke. Because it turns out the most unbelievable thing in the entire new Star Wars canon is that Boba didn't drop dead running around in heavy black clothes on a desert planet with two suns.

So yeah! Have a few more pics from the con, and then I'll go on a long rant about all the problems I discovered after wearing this getup for 4 or five hours.

The con had a rule about realistic weapons that was just vague enough that I didn't feel 100% comfortable bringing my EE-3. A little disappointing because it stands as one of the best props I've ever printed and painted. (See my post about that here!) But the guys running this prop booth had one of their own and called me over to pose with theirs. Interestingly, it felt just about as heavy as mine, so I could make a pretty good guess what their props are made of.

Gamora wanted a picture with me because, and I quote, "We're both green!" Mighty Thor went on to win the costume contest. (I didn't even place.)

"Hmm. Reminds me of that droid that was always following Solo around."

"Should've asked Mr. Hammond if he could clone a Mythosaur for me."

OKAY. NOW TO GO OVER ALL THE PROBLEMS WITH THIS COSTUME.

The gauntlets. Are too. DAMN. SMALL. When I first printed them on my resin printer, I had to either cut them into pieces or scale them down to get them to fit. I determined that scaling them down would be the better option because I have skinny noodle arms and the smaller gauntlets would still fit. When I reprinted them, I still scaled them down because 1, I thought they would fit better anyway, and 2, being smaller meant they would print faster. Turns out the scaled down versions are VERY tight and the hard edges kept me from moving my wrists, and dug into my hands the whole time I was wearing them. I had little bruises from that for the next couple days. When/if I remake these, I will print them at full size and maybe add foam or something to keep them from slipping around.

Get better at sewing. I sewed velcro patches into the shoulders of the vest to attach the shoulder armor pieces to and keep them from sliding down my arms, but one of them still came detached somehow so I kept having to adjust that shoulder. Also, I thought that I could get away with not sewing on the velcro for the chest diamond because it was small and the sticky pad could just hold it on. NOT SO. It kept falling off no matter how hard I pressed the sticky side onto the vest. Should've just taken the five minutes to do a quick and crappy stitch on it. All the other velcro pieces held just fine.

I also should've just found a real belt to use. This fake leather material apparently stretches easily, so it started to sag throughout the day. It's also why I couldn't hang the holster on it (which you can't even see in any of these pictures, but I hung it on the real belt I wore with my pants.)

As a famous Stormtrooper once said: "I can't see a thing in this helmet!" My visor fogs up after having it on for just a few minutes, and it gets unbearably hot inside that thing. That space inside the helmet to install an "optional" fan system? NOT REALLY OPTIONAL, unless you enjoy slowly boiling to death in your own sweat. Also the antenna keeps falling down, so I could probably stick a small piece of foam in there to hold it in place better.

And that's that. This 2 year project is concluded! I'll probably keep working on little bits here and there to iron out the kinks, but this is most likely the last big Tumblr-worthy update. I don't know for sure what my next big project will be, but I have some ideas.

If anyone wants links to the 3D printed parts I used to make this costume, here's the list!

A Man For All Seasons will consist of the talents of:

Roger Clark* as King Henry VIII Edward Furs* as Sigñor Chapuys Thomas Michael Hammond* as Sir Thomas More Kevin Isola* as The Common Man Ty Lane* as William Roper Sean Mahan* as Cranmer Anthony Marble* as Duke of Norfolk Brianna Martinez as Margaret More Aaron McDaniel* as Richard Rich James McMenamin* as Thomas Cromwell Henry David Silberstein as Attendant to Chapuys Mary Stillwaggon Stewart* as Alice More Raphael Nash Thompson* as Cardinal Woolsey *Members of Actors' Equity association, the Union of Professional Actors and Stage Managers.
