funniest thing about nate and cale is that they each look like they should have the other guy’s personality
#nate actually sweet and a little bit of a reclusive also gets angry sometimes in a toddler kinda way#cale kind of a serious stone cold motherfucker who insists on bringing nutritionist meals on roadtrips#i kinda want bodyswap fic now where everyone agrees that the swapped bodies somehow match their personalities better#and it’s all very uncanny valley#avs

This is jumping the queue bc some really cool people reblogged my last post of Corey and they escaped containment.
Updated sidestep design perpetual WIP
Sidestep days vs retribution. They're slowly reacquiring their self expression. Next book will probably be the full return of the scene/punk look
Bonus Corey sans most of their clothing to show off their tattoos under the cut. CW for healed SH scars
Yes that is Ortega's bedroom yes I half assed it. I drew this background in my car at work when it was like 110 degrees idgaf
#listen. i was a teenager in 2013. that sidestep outfit design is 99% shit i owned and wore lmao#corey is all my middle school angst condensed into one character#PLEASE zoom in theres so many tiny details in the outfits and the backgrounds i love drawing that shit#scavenger hunt: the lighting themed jewelry. the secondhand ipod anathema gifted them. the doodles on their shoes.#definitely think ortega kept some of sidesteps things after they died. they were besties#no chance sides didnt leave anything of theirs at ortega's place#ortega kept coreys ipod and battle jacket#hasnt given the battle jacket back yet though just the ipod#corey also plays guitar#themmy taught them and the rangers got them their 1st guitar as a joint xmas gift . Obv ortega held onto that too#throwing yourself into edgy aesthetics and musicianship works in place of therapy in a pinch. i would know#finally broke out of my “cant write music” block by projecting too hard onto corey. maybe ill post my music on here eventually idk#my art#fallen hero#fallen hero rebirth#fallen hero retribution#sidestep#corey rook#the uncanny valley look to their face wasnt deliberate but it does suit them so its fine#giant blue eyes and creepy big smile my beautiful unsettling baby#me and corey got two settings: horrendous rbf and eldritch nightmare grin#hand drawing that linkin park shirt instead of just pulling a design from the internet was a labor of love#you bet your ass corey and I are fuckin stoked about their new album#put The Emptiness Machine in their playlist immediately after finding out it exists#this character is very dear to me if that werent clear by the massive wall of tags#if you read this far thanks babes i love you <3

You know the fact Larian did have "fucked up elves" in their creative vision once shows that they can and want to do it, so I'm wondering why BG3 elves look like humans with pointy ears and half-elves like humans with slightly less pointy ears. Like, was WotC threatening them with a gun like "If you make these elves even slightly 3e we will kill you and your entire family."?
#dos2#bg3#not criticism per se just food for thought#because I'm a firm believer in elves looking at least a bit inhuman#like uncanny valley#I don't care how exactly you do it but they shouldn't look like humans#maybe they're too symmetrical and lack a philtrum (showing that their development is very much different than that of humans in utero)#maybe their proportions are slightly off. maybe all their features are sharper than that of a human would be#maybe their bones naturally protrude more; something you wouldn't really notice on an ordinary thin or bigger elf but that you#would pick up when they'd bend their arm and you'd observe the motion closely#maybe you'd feel it when they'd hug you.#etc etc#like gurl I don't care just make them non-human. because they aren't humans

zavijava info PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!!!!! PLEASEEEEE ZAVIJAVA COME HOME ... PLEASE .... umm um um ill tell you about umm . tma au im making for nastya if u tell me about her .PLEASE!!!!!!!
so she is definitely a star of some kind. i mean she is an angel but in that story in particular The Stars are kind of angels. like they’re otherworldly beings and they jus kinda hang out. cosmically. it’s a different dimension separated from the human one but like, obviously stars still exist for humans, they just don’t do anything crazy because the rules of the world dictate that their realities shouldn’t interact. angels can observe the other world from far up above yet they still exist on a different level. But tbh zavijava had never enjoyed the otherworldly ethereal whatever lifestyle—she just didn’t feel like she fit in there. she is a #1 humans fan though so she knows that’s where she’d fit in. so she does just that. she fits in perfectly :) and normally :) yay :)
#see the thing with zavijava is that there isn’t much info to share on her just on account of her being what she is#she is like a Concept trying to humanize and shove herself into a box#it’s like asking a rock what it likes. a rock can’t like anything it just sort of exists#that’s zavi babey#that’s not to say she doesn’t desperately try to like anything and everything . and that’s precisely what she ends up doing#she loves everything ! but she doesn’t really understand it or have a genuine connection to anything just by virtue of not being part of the#world. it’s like having a 6d being try to exist in a 3d space. very limiting. very incomprehensible for the 6d being#so her enjoyment of things (debatable if she’s even Capable of feeling Anytning) is artificial in a way#she is Uncanny Valley she reflects humans she does not really have an inner world or proper opinions of her own#so like she Does really love humans and everything about their world. but no specifics or a detailed understanding of them & it#as much as she likes humans she does not grasp their concepts like at all. Or only in a rudimentary manner#haze could explain to her why some people walk holding hands and she would be like Wow i guess that means we are married :) because we are#always together :) we can even hold hands too :) (she tries to hold his hand and he immediately starts seeing the hat man)#so yea. tldr. she’s more of a concept made character so there’s not a lot of Character Info on her#she’s more of a force#cramswering#idk if any of that is a coherent fucking explanation LOL she’s just kinda dream-like in that sense. idk#like yknow the way humans can’t truly comprehend eldritch beings or non euclidian shapes or whatever#the eldritch being in turn is not fated to understand da humans ….#& anyways for now the rest of the stars are aware that zavijava is Goofing but it’s not urgent enough to send someone after her. yetttt#tho hell dude 2 angels in the world would probably make it implode instantly so maybe that’s why they’re hesitant to do anything#also yea idk if this needs to be said but those angels arent tied to religion or humans really. they’re not guardian angels they’re just#Things that exist on a different Plane Of Existence. parallel to the human world#they watch over it but not in a guardian responsibility way#just sort of in a It’s Something To Look At way#ok yeah it’s 1:30am too by the way so i think that’s enough incomprehensible eldritch rambling#tell me about ur au boy

lol due to the pose of this tarot card i'm being forced to draw the front facing panel of the reaper uniform completely by hand for the first time in (probably two years now...hahahaha) oh, assets, you are great and wonderful and save me so much time Until not even Warp and Transform can lift you high enough. Then I must replicate these complicated designs Wholly Anew. like some sort of "art" "doer" (I hate that I have to add this disclaimer but this is the hell world we live in: the assets in question are ones I painted by hand at flat angles with the intent to be used over and over again. like a shoujo transformation sequence. it's not Aye-Eye BS or anything of the sort) with that disclaimer out of the way.... at the very least it means I can save the flats for this specific pose and thus it can then be re-used later when the comic will inevitably call for it. WORK SMART! WORK ART SMRT
#shut up pu#one of the greatest bullshit sins of aye-eye#you know despite EVERYTHING FUCKING ELSE that garbage causes#is feeling like I can't casually talk about process when it involves shortcuts without having to specify what I mean#it's also slowly but surely making it annoying to do anything that's intentionally wonky or off or uncanny valley#anything intentionally super detailed#backlighting is a wonderful little aye-eye staple and oh no I love backlighting#all my hatred could sink the sun#anyway#advice for any comic doers out there but saving outfits and hair and even hands and faces at every angle you can think of#as you do them#and making a lot of flat assets in the style you intend to use#goes a very very long way for comic making#the pose for audric in this card is front facing you'd think I could use the asset#but it's just fitted and warped and creased enough that the asset can't be used#sigh oh sigh#its ok I like painting clothes#I especially love painting leather#and oh boy what a canvas we have on this lad

Is it just me or do new-engine video games feel like they're getting worse rather than better. Like yeah the textures and physics and FX themselves are improved, but at the same time why does it feel like I'm playing a game from 2001. Something's wrong here.
#//personal#//rant in tags incoming#idk mannn#it's like we're diving back into the uncanny valley or something#ever since the new unity engine came out in like 2020 or smt i've been getting weird vibes from all the new AAA games#my personal theory is that game devs don't know about art or film principles anymore and everything is TOO high resolution.#like the way our eyes process info we don't see every single object in 5000p. if u pay attention to ur periphery it's all smeary right?#so in video games when the unimportant assets are half-assed that's kind of a good thing (if u know about impressionism u understand me)#now it's like. where's the depth of field. and the atmospheric perspective. the subsurface scattering and anti-aliasing. the COLOR THEORY??#not to mention that like the physics themselves are also a bit janky and off-putting#like i see a human character with hair that doesn't hair right and no weight to their movements and it's like looking at a skinwalker or sm#i can't animate for shit but im not getting paid by AAA so. we can do better. we HAVE done better. what happened.#anyways. that's me.#i am very passionate bc im spending thousands on a video game major ty

Fansites that definitely faceapp the guys are such strange creatures to me like... we all know what they look like so why did you do that....
#like we all know about the ones who white wash#but the ones who look at any of these dudes and go hm. i need to make them more conventionally attractive#by altering their faces are so ??#esp when its not even subtle like i just saw a lee know and they genuinely increased his eye and lip size a noticeable amount#and then i think thinned his nose out ????? hes literally a conventional beauty standard come to life whats goin on with#you....#same with a seungmin one that has always posted normal pics but now uploaded stuff#and it actually looked ai generated to me like it was almost seungmin but if you made him uncanny valley like a doll#very odd. and very odd to see people rt or reblog without apparently noticing or caring ?

watched berserk (97) on a whim after reading someone's tags on a writing advice post on how to justify Big Fucking Swords in stories. have started reading the manga. there's a lot of triggering visuals to me so i imagine this is what it's like to be lactose intolerant and decide to eat so so so much ice cream
#IM SURE ILL BE FINE... maybe it'll even be good exposure therapy to me#i mean the level of gore is not worse than unsounded#but the art style - while technically rly impressive and good - DOES hit that uncanny valley horror style#and the anime had too low of a budget to animate much more than blood spray ahaha#the anime works SO WELL as a self contained tragedy damn#sure yes the ending was very abrupt and that episode fucked me up a little but that doesn't make it bad hahaha#only thing i knew about berserk beforehand is that there's a guy named guts who has a sword and is super enemies with the most beautiful ma#who's also super mega evil even if he has very pretty hair#thankfully there was another blonde twink for me to imprint on AND he throws knives so this is great#but truly. what if all you knew were to be a sword#what if the only way you knew how to love someone was as a sword#what if your sword decided to be a person after all. to be your equal. to be loved better#WHAT DO YOU MEAN BAD THINGS HAPPEN IN THE BAD THINGS HAPPENING ANIME.#what if your sunken cost is actually a literal mountain of corpses.#haiz reads berserk

So about the whole thing about insectoid independent plants and the human mimicry. So their outward appearance is just. An exoskeleton. And it can unfurl like how beetles open their backs to fly. And Vash and Knives have their big wings kinda folded up under there. Also you wouldn’t notice the exoskeleton seams unless you’re really close up and actively looking for them
#all the eldritch shit with vash and the wings manifesting everywhere still happens. they just have a big one under their skin at all times.#also I think they’d look just a tad too angular to the average person. like something’s off#people would absolutely get a very very mild sense of uncanny valley when they look at those two

"Professor Sylvia Maxis, one-one oh-one two-six-oh-nine. [Inhale]. It seems I'm not the world's greatest artist, based on yesterday's attempts to draw... [heavy sigh]. I'll be burning my attempts in the newly-discovered fireplace. The chimney is, unfortunately, too narrow to climb. I can't even feel the air from outside. I got a lot of use out of that fireplace before I found it, though, based on all the soot that I'm never getting out of my hair. I've also managed to unlock the bathroom, although some good showering will do me to get this gunk out. I'm finding more and more parts of this bunker lately, and they make me think it's mine. Which is a relief, because I'd hate to come across the body of the chump who was here before me or something! Haha! Haha. Hm. I'm still getting those odd number dreams, but I'll only start writing the numbers down if they keep happening.
...
What's really strange is that my drawings aren't... bad? Like, this isn't what bad art looks like. This is what you'd see if something had never seen another person in its life and tried to mimic one. This is what a person gone wrong looks like. It's like the Uncanny Valley effect. I'd do well as a horror artist, but this...
He's all wrong."
#professor maxis audio entry#professor sylvia maxis#entry seven#11th january 2609#oh okay sylvia sure bestie im sure your art is great#im a big fan of the uncanny valley theory tho honestly#incorrect human faces trigger alarm bells because at some point in our evolution we were hunted by an imperfect mimic predator? love it#humans are social creatures and recognise faces in things and when a face is confusing the brain goes nuh uh WRONG and tells us to kill it#LOVE the theory tho some good juicy horror that makes sense! people who PRACTICALLY make themselves uncanny have such good makeup skills#anyway sylvia why would you befriend/date/know/be the sister to redacted if he was an uncanny valley creature? seems not very sigma of you#also you all good there you sound a little fast#somebody had too much coffee

Prompt 269
Another Legend of Zelda Crossover with Ghosts are Dragons. Because it’s fun :>
Danny has decided to go on a vacation with his platonic-romantic-they-aren’t-sure-yet partners. To a different world! Where they can spend more time than just the summer before heading back to their world or the Realms for work. Self employed or no.
Look, they spent their entire teenagehood protecting the city and world, they deserve a break! So they chose a random direction and a random world that didn’t feel too liminal and ecto-contaminated, and off they went!
And it’s great! The monster issue is easily enough taken care of too, even if it’s to Sam’s complaint. Interesting taste though… Oh well, they can complain and debate that later, because they don’t have to really worry about much. Well, much besides the weird corruption sort of rotting smell that seems to be getting stronger…
Maybe that’s normal around here…?
@fairy-lights-and-blobs @radiance1 You both enjoy dragons so here <3
#DPxLOZ#LOZxDP#Prompts#Ghosts are Dragons#Eternal Quartet#Halfa Trio#& then Val’s suit sort of melded with her like some sort of liminal nanobot dragon cyborg#Yes they can all change between full dragon and partially dragon which they can hide#All of them are very uncanny valley to the people of the LOZ world (& the non-liminal in their world too)#Danny is between a western and eastern dragon in proportions w/ stars caught in his fur & horns#Sam is long serpentine thing with branch-like antlers of green crystal#Tucker has four arms & curved horns of gold & a cobra hood#Val is chonky in proportion- walking behemoth of muscle and veins of meta#In ‘human’ forms they have pointed ears & disguise the wings as cloaks & capes#Anyone who sees them: Oh what in the fresh fae monster hell is this-#Link who has no self preservation: Is this potential friends

watching the bestie have away with words to express what i also feel but stumble over trying to say re: rep in an adaption.
#i'm w lee on some strange uncanny valley going on in a show re: its queer rep.#i think i described it best on discord as feeling vampiric to me.#it looks the part. it sounds the part. but it lacks soul.#it feels like a very market-driven product at times manned behind the scenes by those outside the community.#not at all times. it's not an outright thing. but there's moments that so jar me and make me go 'producers or showrunners are not it.'#and don't get me wrong. love the cast. love the look. but for me as a queer person there's this weird level of.. uncanny valley.#'i'm giving the gays everything they want' unironically and sliding off the track to the point of near parody.#out of stories#i also concur that idk if it's the actor or the direction he's given or the writing for the character but something is AWF.#with one of our leads.

they keep putting this one girl in the kdrama im watching in blue contacts and it's so scary like.... pls.... take those thangs out, you aren't a husky dog
#Like theyre the real pale blue with dark ring around the outside type contacts#And she's a very pretty girl- actually she kinda reminds me of kstew a bit but like all of that is distracted from with those contacts#It's funny bc sometimes coloured contacts can look alright but usually it's just like uncanny Valley and off-putting#Which can work if you're going for uncanny but sometimes it's clear they aren't goin for that and then it's like ?#It goes both ways tho bc I watched a movie and they had the blue eyed actress in brown contacts and it still looked off#Idk coloured contacts are very miss and rarely hit I think is the truth
