#Tom Hester

[monstersonscreen]

The titular werecats in Mick Garris' Sleepwalkers were realized by Alterian Studios, with Tony Gardner acting as project supervisor and Tom Hester credited for the actual creature design. Two suits were fabricated, one male and one female, to represent Brian Krause and Alice Krige's characters.

I found stuff I drew in 2020 and got sad cuz I lost the skill and a dear friend gently sent me to practice instead of listening to my whining. and I guess y'all can see this one too.

always a sucker for the dynamic where the leader(/person in the position of power) constantly mistreats their subordinate BUT also with almost zero hesitation forgives said subordinate’s countless betrayals and attempts to overthrow them or even murder them

GOTHAM CITY YEAR ONE no.1 • cover art • Ryan Sook [Oct 2022]

There once was a shining city on the water, a home for families, hope, and prosperity. It was Gotham and it was glorious. The story of its fall from grace, the legend that would birth the Bat, has remained untold for 80 years. That’s about to change. Superstar creators Tom King and Phil Hester team up for the first time to tell the definitive origin of Gotham City: how it became the cesspool of violence and corruption it is today, and how it harbored and then unleashed the sin that led to the rise of the Dark Knight. Two generations before Batman, private investigator Slam Bradley gets tangled in the "kidnapping of the century" as the infant Wayne heir disappears in the night...and so begins a brutal, hard-boiled, epic tale of a man living on the edge and a city about to burn.

Gotham City Year One #1-6, covers by Phil Hester (pencils) and Eric Gapstur (inks)

[monstersonscreen]

The infamous 'Nazi werewolf' nightmare sequence in American Werewolf in London was perhaps the easiest part for Rick Baker's special makeup effects team; all the demon werewolves were realized as simple 'pull over' latex masks.

Tom Hester sculpted the bald demon, Steve Johnson sculpted the mohawked demon and Shawn McEnroe did the 'wolfman' mask.

Why it's called "Mortal Engines"

You know how the Snowpiercer has a perpetual motion machine powering its engine? The engines of the traction cities don't have that, so they must constantly burn something to fuel themselves, making them 'mortal engines.' To summarize, earth's crust is rendered unstable due to earthquakes brought on by war, so cities are put on wheels cuz that's cheaper than constantly rebuilding after weekly earthquakes(?). Roll with it. Thousands of years into the future, the earth's crust has stabilized but big cities still consume smaller cities for their resources in a process known as "municipal Darwinism" which was supposed to be a temporary solution but humans are stubborn and the traditionalists refuse to go back to stationary cities. The result is that the UK and Europe are treeless wastelands of churned dirt, the forests ran over and consumed by centuries of moving cities.

Spoilers beyond this point:

The last few pages of Book 4 are dedicated to Shrike's pov where he sits guard and watches Tom & Hester's bodies decay. When he awakes, a forest has grown around him, the first forest in millennia. None of our characters save Shrike get to live long enough to see this forest and while it is sad, it's beautiful and sweet and fitting.

So the thing about Hester and Tom is that no matter how tragic their end was, their story was happy. They got to live happy in Anchorage, before that in Jenny, they got what most of the others in their world didn't. Their end may be sad, but their story wasn't.

Don't mind me, still sobbing.
