Explaining McCloud's Transition Types for Transformers Fans: Intro

Recently I took a class on analyzing comic book form. It was a wonderful class that I really want to yap about and I'm gonna force the Transformers fans to be my audience!

Some context. One of the sources we used in this class was Scott McCloud's Understanding Comics: The Invisible Art. And it's about just what the title says. One important concept to McCloud is that of closure. This can be defined as the work required by the audience to understand two panels in relation to one another. For example,

in these panels from Transformers: More Than Meets the Eye #1, even though we do not see prowl walking to the door and leaning out, we understand that that is what had to occur to get from the first panel to the second. This is closure. McCloud further claims that the amount of closure required by the audience can be determined by the type of panel-to-panel transition. He details the following:

Moment-to moment

Action-to-action

Subject-to-subject

Scene-to-scene

Aspect-to-aspect

Nonsequitur

I'm going to go through all of these for you guys with examples from IDWs TF: MTMTE #1-10, and Marvel's Transformers (US) #70-80. This is so I don't completely lose my bonkers trying to find examples but if y'all have a specific panel you want me to talk about please let me know. EDIT: Also the above list will be updated with links to each individual post.

Disclaimer: McCloud's panel transitions are useful tools to better understanding comics BUT it is far from a perfect system and in reality, many panels either fall outside of his classifications or are more complicated than his simple definitions. I will explain more in my more specific posts.

Awww. I’m honestly don’t know what to say about this. It took me a while to think of what I should reply with. It’s really mean so much to me, tbh.

The jealousy thing is actually pretty funny 😂 because the fact that both of us are just jealous of each other like a reflection of the mirror, it’s totally hilarious. And it’s not the first time that it’s happened to me too. Sometimes I’m found out that the person I have jealous of is also jealous and looking up at me too, haha. So, I guess it’s some kind of win, win, situation (???) but yeah, it’s true that I feel guilty a lot when I’m being jealous, and trying to fix myself about this too.

Anyway, hearing that you’re showing my art to your friends it’s something I was pretty surprised, and they’re a fan of me too. Totally makes me feel heartwarming. Especially when y’all are already in college and I’m still in high school, lol. Honestly, I’m also telling about your art at my friend too! And they think your art is kinda silly and cute! Just wanna let you know too that you’re also have a fan outside of Tumblr either <333

Oh yeah, I’m also hearing the fact that you stepping out of your comfort zone because of me, it’s actually making me feel so proud of you! Like, I’m already a person that obsessed with clothes design and fashion ( that’s why it’s so detailed ), but seeing you trying to do something you never done before, and I can tell that you’re doing it very well make me so happy and proud!

Tbh. I’m also starting to stepping out of my comfort zone because of you and other people too. Because I’m was a kind of person that not usually doing the story telling. Most of the time, I’ll focus on character and clothes design, but after seeing y’all, It was inspired me to do something new. So, I need to thank to you too<33

For the last about Wøndergotten. For real, but I’m also still trying to figure out about the lore too. A lot of stuff is still on working, especially the fact that Wøndergotten world setting is kinda a bit complicated. I’m not so good at summary stuff tbh, but I’ll trying my best to make to short and simple as possible. Also, I prefer to telling you through the DM instead, because of the fact that there’s also some part of the lore that I still want to keep it secret from the most public. If you wanna know more about Wøndergotten stuff, feel free to DM me.

Anyway, just like what I said, I’m so happy to be friends with you! And I’m always be by your side if you need anything. 🫂🫂🫂

Hello everypony, I come here to make an announcement.

I will be rather busy this week, I have finals coming my way and a lot of tests I have to retake...

I will still be uploading content but it will definitely start to slow down...

I'm putting a hold on replying to asks... But I still will be receiving any asks y'all want to send, and if it's something simple and for me I will be able to reply to it in no time. Like y'all know my drawings are pretty simple but I like to create a nice story telling and plan everything... There are only one factor for me to reply to your asks a bit quicker....

1- A funny interaction between characters, it has to be funny.

I actually find this problem with many asks, at least, for Fast that is. I get a lot of those and I neglect them because they don't scratch my brain or bring enough energy to reply. I don't mind at all text, it's super sweet to read all of what y'all have to say, but my brain works a bit differently. I see colours, a character, a funny interaction or statement and my brain is absolutely hooked on your ask!.... Meanwhile when I see a question with text my imagination juice frikin dies... But again, that doesn't mean I don't actually mean I won't reply to your asks if it's only text, I will always try to think about something and find a way to make it funny to see or have my character just go into existential mode.

I want to keep drawing about Fast but oh man Turbos questions are way more fun to do than Fast's. Y'all can be silly with any of my characters! Get comfy and be silly with them! (Not that comfy to ask friked up stuff) But a funny character interaction can make things for me a bit easier to manage, because silliness is what I have more to offer.

Topic 2...

Replies to reblogs/art commissions. (Tw for mentions of burned out, depression,self hate,vent)

If I don't reply to your reblogs with a drawing like I have been doing since I started my journey here, I am probably neglecting it for a few days/months. And I know that makes me an asshole and makes me feel shitty about myself, and I'm sorry I do that, that's never my intention. I'm here to express joy and silliness even if I'm suffering a burnt out or a depressive episode all of the sudden. Most of the time I am in a constant cycle of depression and burnt out from replying to asks(mostly text) most of the day of the week. But I still try to deliver something, because y'all deserve it, I don't want to leave my Tumblr, I love posting every day!.....

I am a person who sadly works on silly energy, and when that is gone makes my life a misery. I ran out of energy most of the time thanks to my depression, who always hits me on the back of the head when I have to do something productive.

I will put my ass on working on commissions... Now.

Now... Let's address the Turbo in the room with us.

About myself.

I am selfish, and I won't deny it. I am a selfish person. I LOVE the attention, I love receiving art of my character, I love getting likes, I love getting comments and I love getting asks.

And when I don't get that attention that I'm carving I get all annoyed and pissy with myself, I can be a "bit" toxic.

Sadly attention is one of the many things why I keep this blog alive. Not only do I still love Wir and the beautiful community, but I love the attention.

But attention seeking always can get you so far, until all that you love it's gone, and attention seeking is what is left in you. That will then push you over and make you feel bad with yourself that you would do ANYTHING for that small bit of attention, that being from your peers or strangers.

I am selfish and a jealous wolf, I like interacting with my friends I like to get attention from my friends, it's a vicious cycle, and it's really toxic.

That's why I most of the time I control myself, or at least try. I try to not explode and show how jealous I am. Because that's bad.

I have been working on that issue for a long time, I would say I have been working on controlling my jealousy since 2020 when I was spending too much time online to the point of making my depression worsen.

But luckily I'm trying to change that. And I apologize if I ever went a bit turbo on any of my posts... I'm still working on it.

What to expect in the future?

I will keep posting and replying asks.

I will keep being online

I will probably be more active next month rather than now.

A lot of events are coming and I want to do all of them.

Cool animatics

My birthday is coming (December 21) and I will be rather busy that day, so a heads up for that.

On vacations I want to work on animation and try to make puppet rigs for my character Fast.

On vacation I want to go back to my old ways of posting and replying with cute drawings as fast (and good like now) as I can.

That's everything for now, thank you so much for reading this!...

I will be posting more soon.

So while looking into how to write proper ALT text i discovered that i might have some form of dysgraphia?

Which would explain why my handwriting looks like..The way it does <:I

(Yes, the chicken scratch text you see on my art IS the best i can do)

Typing is easier but i still have a really difficult time putting thoughts into words and it's extra difficult as a non english speaker.

I was wondering if there are there any good tutorials or resources that can help me write ALT text while having these kinds of issues? (Specifically for typing readable sentences and grammar correction)

Advice maybe?

Symptoms i have in the tags.

She’s done! This is, to my knowledge, the first ever Black Butler work I did. Grell actually used to be favourite character and I used to hate Sebastian (most because I watched the anime and his characterisation in the anime is utter garbage, as Americans say). I liked her because she had a cool chainsaw :) I later learnt the joys of projecting onto fictional characters and read the manga, which turned me to the dark side (being a Sebastian fan), and the rest, they say, is history.

So when I made this drawing back in 2016 I did not know Grell was a woman, because at the ripe old age of Child, living in bumfuck nowhere (a descriptor that can be applied to most of Scotland) I didn’t know that trans people existed. However, that is a bit of a rubbish twist, so I had her sat next to a slain bizarre doll, because I also hadn’t heard of Book of Atlantic at the time.

Tldr, it’s okay to not know things

[carsickcrow]

i was scrolling through photos i’ve taken at art museums and was reminded of this piece by marie laurencin (titled chanson de bilitis after a collection of poetry by a fictitious contemporary of sappho). it’s a print and this isn’t the exact one i saw/took a photo of but the picture is higher quality

this was one of the pieces that stood out to me the most the whole museum trip last november and it’s still so striking to me. it has occurred to me that the conjoining is kinda twin fantasy which is why i felt the need to share it. anyway. lesbians!
