I have a prediction on Ghostface's arcade ending in Mortal Kombat 1.

It's gonna be revealed that it's every Ghostface from the movies but every probable Ghostface in alternate timelines

Meaning these could be alternate Ghostfaces

Scream 1:Tatum and Randy as Ghostface

Scream 2:Hallie and Derek

Scream 3:Dewey

Scream 4:Jill and Rebecca

Scream 5:Amber and Tara(see my Tamber au)

Scream 6:Sidney Prescott and Gale Weathers

Ka-Zar and Shanna by Walter McDaniel

[gophergal]

Soooooooo-

I colored the pages. haha. my wrist hurts so bad

(Original Pencils + My Inks & commentary under the cut)

^ Original pencil drawings by Walter McDaniel

^ Fan Inks by Me (originally posted here)

I'm honestly not sure how happy I am with the colored version, but it was fun to do. Every time I think about the MKD comic, I just think it's kinda tragic that it wasn't fully inked and colored. Deception is my favorite MK game and I think it's art style and designs translates super well to comic format. Not to mention how awesome McDaniel's sketches are.

I'm being serious- please give the comic a look. If you can't find it online, send me an ask or a dm and I'll get it to you.

2017 Napa Valley A Cappella Extravaganza — VoicePlay live performances

VoicePlay on stage in Napa — photo by Haley Olson

Three years after their previous appearance, VoicePlay returned to northern California as the professional headliners for the annual high school and collegiate vocal festival in Yountville.

A post shared by J.None 🧈🎶 🎙📝🎬🎹🎸📽🤣 (@itsjnone)

J.None was excited to hit the road with the guys after performing with them at Disney World for the previous two months.

.

When you're singing for other a cappella singers, it's hard to go wrong with a little musical theater. VoicePlay has plenty of Broadway material in their repertoire, and this was the most recent addition at the time.

Details:

title: Seasons of Love

original performers: cast of Rent (1996)

written by: Jonathan Larson

arranged by: VoicePlay & AJ Rafael

performance date: 28 January 2017

My favorite bits:

J.None's smooth timbre on the opening lines

the way they seamlessly pass the lead vocals around (But why doesn't Layne get a turn? 😞)

that momentary silence before they start the first chorus

when the rhythm section really kicks in 🥁🎸

Earl's crystal clear high tone on the second verse

that jazzy harmonized riff from Eli, J, and Earl

the layers of sound in the final chorus

such a lovely ending chord

Trivia:

As Geoff mentions in the intro, the guys had recorded this song as a collaboration with AJ Rafael in October, and the video premiered on his YouTube channel a couple weeks before this performance.

.

VoicePlay refuse to be confined to any one genre of music. They've tackled everything from barbershop to hard rock, country to sea shanties, pop ballads to orchestral pieces. So why not revisit the rap hits of their youth?

Details:

title: Aca Top 10 – Old School Rap

original songs / performers: "La-Di-Da-Di" by Slick Rick & Doug E. Fresh; [0:16] "Going Back to Cali" by LL Cool J; [0:32] "Push It" by Salt-n-Pepa; [0:56] "Parents Just Don’t Understand" by DJ Jazzy Jeff & the Fresh Prince; [1:09] "Bust A Move" by Young MC; [1:32] "It's Tricky" by Run-DMC; [1:49] "Just A Friend" by Biz Markie; [2:12] "Ice Ice Baby" by Vanilla Ice; [2:21] "The Humpty Dance" by Digital Underground; [2:44] "Rapper's Delight" by the Sugarhill Gang; [3:10] "Walk This Way" by Run-DMC & Aerosmith

written by: "La-Di-Da-Di" by Douglas "Doug E. Fresh" Davis & Richard "Slick Rick" Walters; "Going Back to Cali" by Rick Rubin & James "LL Cool J" Smith; "Push It" by Hurby "Luv Bug" Azor & Ray Davies; "Parents Just Don’t Understand" by Pete Harris, Will "Fresh Prince" Smith, Jeffrey "DJ Jazzy Jeff" Townes; "Bust A Move" by Marvin "Young MC" Young, Matt Dike, & Michael Ross; "It's Tricky" by Joseph "Rev. Run" Simmons, Darryl "DMC" McDaniels, Doug Fieger, & Berton Averre; "Just A Friend" by Marcel "Biz Markie" Hall; "Ice Ice Baby" by Robert "Vanilla Ice" Van Winkle, Mario Johnson, Queen, & David Bowie; "The Humpty Dance" by Earl Humphrey, Gregory "Shock G" Jacobs, & George Clinton; "Rapper's Delight" by Bernard Edwards, Nile Rodgers, Sylvia Robinson, Henry "Big Bank Hank" Jackson, Michael "Wonder Mike" Wright, Guy "Master Gee" O'Brien, Curtis "Grandmaster Caz" Brown, & William Hankshaw; "Walk This Way" by Joseph "Rev. Run" Simmons, Darryl "DMC" McDaniels, Steven Tyler, & Joe Perry

arranged by: Geoff Castellucci

performance date: 28 January 2017

My favorite bits:

Layne kicking things off with some old school beatboxing

Earl recreating the breathy part in "Push It"

Eli handling the scratching in the back during "Parents"

the middle three busting some lowkey moves as the lyrics instruct them to do

everybody bouncing to the beat during "Tricky"

Geoff continuing the "Ice Ice Baby" bass line under "The Humpty Dance" after the other guys leave him hanging

Eli showing off some slides in "Rapper's Delight"

J's little wave in response to the "hello" in the lyrics

the record skip effect at the end of "Walk This Way"

Trivia:

The guys originally recorded this countdown live in the studio, where they could do as many takes as they wanted. It's even more impressive seeing them perform it in front of an audience.

.

This video is missing the very beginning because the fan who recorded it got over-excited about them actually performing the song live. But how could they possibly resist singing the theme to one of the most beloved TV shows set in San Francisco when they were just north the city itself?

Details:

title: Everywhere You Look

original performers: Carly Rae Jepsen & Butch Walker for Fuller House (2016)

written by: Jesse Frederick, Bennett Salvay, & Jeff Franklin for Full House (1987)

arranged by: Layne Stein

performance date: 28 January 2017

My favorite bits:

the bouncy descending bass line leading into the chorus

Eli and J grooving along to their own harmonies

Earl's scooping crescendo as a transition into the second verse

the call and response of ♫ "never go away" ♫ "like the Olsen twins" ♫ 👭

that quick crisp diction of the ♫ "how do you know… " ♫ section

hearing a few audience members shout "Hey!" in time with the guys

that big coordinated descending riff at the end

Trivia:

This song was the second entry in VoicePlay's PartWork series, performed entirely by multiple versions of Earl and Layne.

.

Additional photos

.

Before they flew out of San Francisco the next day, J.None took a side trip to meet up with a friend, see a bit of the city, and get some fresh air.

Cyberwar (Part 5)

Deathlok II #21

Good conclusion.

Final battle with the Cyberwarriors.

This arc slightly lost some steam as it got overpopulated, but these last 2 chapters were still a good read. Most of this one was action. The tone is relentlessly grim. Coldblood adds nothing, but Deathlok and Siege are a dynamic and interesting combo. There are very few character beats amid the violence, but the ones we do get are very good indeed. I think it's fair to say this 5-parter has made Collins' pacifism more compelling and relevant than it has been before.

On Sale Date: January 26, 1993.

Total Paid Circulation: 106,938 (average: #18-29).

Wizard Top 100: #91.

Motives for everyone

Scream 1. Randy was in love with SIdney and tired of the rejections and Tatum just wanted to kill her cheating boyfriend

Scream 2. Derek & Hallie's would be similar to Mickey's motivation and the Sorority sisters just wanted the fame of Sidney in their house and dying in their house

Scream 3 1. Dewey was unhealthily obsessed with Sidney. He was the third killer during Billy and Stu's murders. He tied up loose ends and stalked Sidney. He was tired of being the town laughingstock and tired of being the butt of Tatum's jokes. So he convinced Billy and Stu to help him. They'd become infamous, while Dewey would be seen as the hero and get the girl he always wanted, but that never happened. If he can't have SIdney, no one can. Jennifer was someone that Gale fucked over to get the Woodsboro gig. It was supposed to be hers. Gale took everything from her and she wanted revenge. So Dewey and Jennifer come together and enact their plan.

Scream 3 2. Milton is the mastermind. He essentially wants to tie up loose ends. If the story of Maureen gets out, his studio and the Stab franchise is finished. So Milton decides to use his son Roman and his new actress for Sidney to kill all ties to Maureen Prescott, finally ending with Sidney's death. Roman's motive remains the same and Angelina's motive is her cut motive was her being obsessed with Sidney, taking the role of Sidney and wanting to become Sidney.

Scream 4:Judy was in love with Billy Loomis and jealous of Sidney. Rebecca would be selling the story of Sidney's tragic demise.

Unbeknownst to Sidney and Neil, Maureen had an affair with her brother in law before Sidney was born. This led to the destruction of Kate's one and only marriage and Neil later found out after Maureen's death. Kate initially planned her solo revenge around the time the events of the first Scream took place, she's spent years mad that her love life was destroyed by Maureen and inevitably told Neil, who feels his life was derailed by his wife's actions. Sidney isn't their main target, they plan to target people in their lives who did nothing to help them or they felt contributed to their personal struggles. For Neil, it's those who Maureen had affairs with, ie. Cotton Weary, Hank Loomis. For Kate, it's family who continued to associate with Maureen despite knowing the truth and her ex-husband. Jill kills Neil, Sidney kills Kate, Jill's friends become collateral damage. Jill and Sidney become extremely close after this as they're the only close family they have left.

Scream 5:Embracing his uncle’s legacy and attempting to turn Sam into his partner for her to embrace her father’s legacy. This time, the Macher is the mastermind and groomed Tara to be his partner like Richie did.

Tara’s motive would be Sam left her. Her father left her. Her mother is a drunken whore and Wes was obsessed with her and the only guy she liked was stolen from her. Her life was shit and it started the moment that Sam left her. Vince enters her life and they plan to get back at Sam for leaving her and they'd discover something interesting. Not only is Sam the daughter of Billy, but Tara is the daughter of Stu. If Vince can't have the daughter of Billy, he can have his cousin work with him and fulfill Stu's legacy. It would end with Sidney killing Vince while Sam has Tara at her mercy, but she can't kill her. She leaves her alive and makes things interesting as the only Ghostface to be captured alive with Tara promising that she will finish what she started with Sam just hoping she can bring her sister back.

Scream 6. Gale's motive. She needs Ghostface. Her fame is slipping and she lost Dewey. But no one can profit off of the memory of a good man. So Gale decides to become the monster she created to sell more blood and she has the perfect tools at her disposal. The Woodsboro subreddit group. Greg and Jason are the perfect patsys. Their goal is to finish Richie's movie and no one would suspect she had a part to play in this. If for some reason Greg and Jason fail, she has Brooks and Danny by her side to finish her work. And unlike in the actual Scream 6, there is more of a bloodbath throughout New York, on campus and Chad actually dies

Another tribute to the Mortal Kombat: Deception comic

(original sketch under the cut)

Original pencils by Walter McDaniel

This take on Noob melting into the shadows might be my favorite singular panel from the whole comic. Its just really striking. So of course I had to ruin it with my color choices whdbehdb

Jokes aside, I'm pretty happy with my interpretation of the sketch

Bonus:

^ base painting (no effects)

^ levels edited to be brighter and more saturated (before noise and chromatic aberration)

[lboogie1906]

The Tuskegee Airmen were a group of African-American and Caribbean-born military pilots who fought in WWII. They formed the 332nd Fighter Group and the 477th Bombardment Group of the Army Air Forces. The name applies to the navigators, bombardiers, mechanics, instructors, crew chiefs, nurses, cooks, and other support personnel.

All African American military pilots who trained in the US trained at Moton Field, the Tuskegee Army Air Field, and were educated at Tuskegee University. The group included five Haitians from the Haitian Air Force and one pilot from Trinidad. It included a Hispanic or Latino airman born in the Dominican Republic.

March 22, 1942 - The first five cadets graduate from the Tuskegee Flying School: Captain Benjamin O. Davis, Jr. and Second Lieutenants Mac Ross,

Charles DeBow, L.R. Curtis, and George S. Roberts. They will become part of my the famous 99th Pursuit Squadron. List of Tuskegge Airmen.
