||How I See The Pastas||

© @frozensriracha, for some help with visuals!!

This was originally supposed to be how they looked but I decided to go for mental aspect and explain why as well PLEASE like, reblog and share your thoughts on this in the comments or inbox

Below the desciptions are images i’ve compiled and some art (if you know the creator please tell me so i can credit them) for a visual

dont forget to like reblog and share your thoughts with me, I spent a few days on this so i’d appreciate this

Jeff the Killer

So lets start with the obvious- jeffs pasty white toothpaste lookin skin

But realistically he wouldn’t be completely covered in scars

It would be blotchy, with pink fleshy patches among the burns

He most likely has contracture scars, third degree burns that turn the skin a pale white and tighten the skin

This explains his gaunt features and skin color

Now we have to take into account the vodka that was splashed on him, he’d probably have worse burns there with exposed flesh and damaged nerves

This would result in gnarly exposed skin, a damaged scalp and maybe damage to his teeth and eyes

Realistically, Jeff wouldnt have burned off his eyelids that alone would have resulted in blindness and death

Than his smile, his signatuure mark would probably be more of a gangly bloody scar mess

Pastas heal faster and aren’t really human, he’d have to recut his smile pretty frequently making it pretty jacket up because ltes be honest hes far from clean

ANd than his hait being chard black is very unlikely because as nasty as he is he s h o w e r s

not very frequnetly given his living situation and untreated burns but people can figure out how to wash hait and not much else

also i think its funny he’d shower with a plastic bag on his face to avoid getting soap in his nasty infected scars-

His hair would probably be dry and cut unevenly, more of a dark brown color with blonde undertones

Not to mention his burned scalp, hair probably wouldn’t grow there so he’d have a cool unintentional side shave

Jeff would also be a tall individual, he cant really eat, snacking on things from his victims homes giving him a more skeletal build

His personality and mindest is about as pretty as his face- but he most likely has a very screwed up headspace

Lacking in self care, maturity and sanity its fair to say he’d be a brash and violent person

Fun Fact: While researching this I learned that some versions of the joker had facial scars in the shape of a smile

Ticci Toby

So tobys age, unlike a lot of pastas, is pretty well agreed on, 19

So unlike when he was first a proxy toby most likely has stronger facial features and facial hair

Because shaving and hygiene isn’t first priority for pastas (gross-)

He stands around 5′7 and has grayish skin

Toby i feel is picky about foods, not only is it hard for him to eat its hard for him to keep food down

He’s malnourished explaining his thin figure and grayish skin

His hait is dark brown and a curlish mess, unkempt but short so it doesn’t get in his way

I’ve always seen him with a small gap in his teeth, because I can

And since toby can’t feel shit I wouldn’t be surprised if he tried to eat rocks simply because he fuckin could

So some chipped teeth that are a bit uneven

Along with his CIPA and not eating enough Toby would bruise easily and have lots of scars, from things like cutting his finger on accident or getting mauled by a racoon

I wouldn’t be surpised if some of his joints were a bit screwed up, because whenever theyd beak or fracture he wouldn’t notice, this would probably happen a lot causing them to not heal correctly

One of tobys habits is nailbiting but he cant te;; when too far is too far

His fingers may be abit odd looking, knobby and discolored nails because of how exetreme his habit is

Would most likely have bandages around his fingers frequently to prevent the habit

So theres a lot of debate about tobys cheek was it the CIPA or the car accident, I beileve the accident because his other cheek is completely fine, theres damage from the OUTSIDE to inside and considering his sister died in the accident its unlikely he survived unscathed

Fun Fact: only a small handful of people have ever been diagnosed with CIPA, less than 500 (documented) cases around the world

Bloody Painter

So Helen is often seen as quiet emo painter boy 

but uh no <3

Personaly i beileve he suffers from narcisistic personality disorder, exetreme importance and that he is always victorious and gets what he wants

This sporuts from the constant heavy invalidation from classmates, toxic friends and neglect from his parents

He doesn’t hang out with people because he doesn’’t lie them its because they never let him in the past and he beileves he’s better than them

But this also links to deep rooted insecurity and social anxiety/being inept completely

Him being nice is basically so you like him, he wants validation amd admiration not love

Unlike the other pastas he’d be a more clean well kept one a helthy figure and some tattoos bevause he can

I beileve he lives in socity, finding hus victims in girls and men alike who fall for his charm

he uses hhis skill and ordinary appearance to blend in on the streets

From his behavior helen most likely keeps his hair a bit shorter and clean

He always looks his best

Has chapped, and picked at lips because of his anxieties

Aswell as his breakdowns- his identity is completely in his head, he is very unsure of who he is and takes the delusions in his mind as reality

Unrelated but paino fingers-

And finally in order for his art to be as perfect and amazing as him, he has to be apart of it

Thus using his own blood in his pieces and the body parts of those he admires

Covers his scars with clean bandgaes

But his paintings turn brown and dry out, he’s always in need of a new medium

Is most likely anemic from all the blood he looses and has a paler skintone

Clockwork

ahh yes finally someone who knows what self care is-

helen, i love you buddy but you need to stop 

But anyway natalie has a stronger, athletic build

She often chases her victims and gets in altercations, relying on strength most  of the time

on that same note, this would defintelty cause many scars on natalie

Wether it was a bite mark or scars from a kitchen knife, shes got lots of scars

A few even on her face

Now, for the clock in her eye that thing is like holding her skull together at this point, realistically

She is probably delicate and cares for it becaise 1) it hurts 2) if it gets screwed up that could cause a lot of problems

natalie would be a smart person, I wouldn’t be surprused if she had a few other stray stitches or bandgaes wrapped around a fresh wound

For more visual-ish things uh m u l l e t (credit: @cum-looking-sock-mf in a chat like 4 months ago)

She has one, fight me on it

but also thick and curlish hair so I also riase you

Undershave

just y e s

I can also see her getting tattoos over certain scars on her arm, just to make them look not so ugly

I feel like clockwork wishes things worked out better

Wishes for another chance but knows she’ll never get one

Thus her taking goof care of herself

Natalie throws herseld into her “work”, keeping her body in shape and killing people

Its a way to avoid her life and that it is- a huge, sad mess

Shes an outgoing impulsive individual, confident but questions her actions

She’s also unstable- protective and loyal but explosive and strong 

Jane the Killer

Jane is the final one, im sorry I couldn’t do more theres a photo limit and I wanna bash my head into the wall

Now a main different between her and jeff is she had surgery and lie treatment

Janes skin is still greatly scarred but it is greatly healed

She takes care of it and had skin grafts

Her face is disfigured, a scarred smile and burns around

But unlike Jeff she doesn’t recarve the cut so its a cleaner line and a lot healthier

Janes hair took a rather long time to grow back, but it did! 

She has a slightly long pixie cut a bit choppy but she doesn’t mind

Her wife definetely cuts it for her and you can fight me over that

I can see Jane having a lot of facial trauma, scars around her nose and cheeks

She was young when she started killing and went for the over the person, pin them down kill which didn’t work out

She switched to a silenced pistol after awhile, you know like a smart person

Janes arms and legs are in alright condition where most of the burn trauma is on her back

She has a leaner but healthy figure but like boobs-

Like clockwork and Helen she takes care of herself

She doesn’t kill as frequently, going after a few of jeffs victims before him and is of course, actively hunting him down

Her eyes are a pale green and she wears makeip to fill in her eyebrows because those bitches take a long time to grow back

fun fact: jeff has no eyebrows, fight me

Aw @embyrinitalics you are too sweet 😊 This gets long, bear with me.

So this came about right after E3 2011 where we were first presented with the Skyward Sword demo footage that went up to the end of the Wing Ceremony race, Zelda throwing herself into your arms (“oh, so those birds are strong enough to carry two! …😏”), and interview rumors that they go flying together later 😳 And then I scribbled this in a frothing wishful lather.

Nearly a decade later, I knew I'd truly Made It when I found this art stolen for one of those "hour long music to study by" YouTubes. But they did give credit so whatever 🤷‍♀️

Frequently Asked Questions Comments:

"lol u cant fly at night lol" Yeah Nintendo didn't tell me that until 5 months later when the game came out 🤦‍♀️ Way to kill the possibilities, guys

"lol him hand big"

Yeah, it was a failed attempt at dramatic perspective. I should've drawn the bird first but no time, smooches first

"A Whole New World~ 🎵" Yes yes I know. Actually, this is the true mood song for this pic:

(Which, admittedly, the creators of that scene must've taken a lot of inspiration from the original magic carpet ride. I'll allow it)

Brush with fame:

November 2011, I got an email out of the blue from M!Games magazine ("the oldest German videogame magazine") asking to publish this piece as part of a Zelda retrospective article 😱 You what? You guys uh... sure you don't want another less shippy pic? No? Ok I'll... I'll do it...!

😱😱😱I thought it was gonna be like a feature with a collection of other fanartists not a... double page spread... 😱😱😱😱😱🤯💀

Anyway, I don't know German so I can only approximately guess at the text, but here's my original answers to their interview questions:

1. Why Legend of Zelda fanart? What I wanted to say: I wanna make the cute guy & princess kiss What I said: I think the Zelda games are particularly good at creating imaginative, atmospheric, and memorable scenes, and it's that kind of feeling that I want to express in my artworks.

2. Why did you choose to paint this particular scene? What I wanted to say: CUZ. THEY KEES What I said: The trailers and demos at E3 2011 hinting at the story of Skyward Sword really raised my excitement, and I just couldn't resist this image that popped into my head when I heard the rumor that Link was supposed to go on a date with Zelda after winning the flying competition. It probably won't happen, but maybe...!

3. What kind of tools/techniques do you use to create your artworks? What I wanted to say: I knock my head against the paper/tablet/screen until kiss come out What I said: These days I almost always work on the computer, using the programs Photoshop, Painter, and SAI, but I use the skills and techniques I learned from my background in traditional media including oil, acrylic, and watercolor paints. I like to explore different art styles often, and Legend of Zelda is particularly good for that since the games' art direction is constantly creative and evolving.

4. What is your favourite Legend of Zelda game and why? What I wanted to say: The ones where they most wanna kiss What I said: Ocarina of Time has been my long-time favorite for having such a rich, interactive world, as well as some of the most interesting and memorable characters. (It also helps that it was the first Zelda game I played through.) Although, it looks like that position might be challenged once Skyward Sword comes out!

Well, in the end, Skyward Sword didn't quite qualify as my reigning all-time favorite, but I am really glad this pic is still making its rounds making people happy :)

And I leave you with a final parting thought:

N-Noooooo... y u do dis.........

Is it kosher to post old-ass vintage art from 10 years ago? Oh well, my blog my art my rules

(It's so old that it has history now. Maybe I'll write up a director's commentary later)

So I was just browsing AO3 one day and completely randomly found that somebody wrote a fluffy lil fic based on this picture. Please go give them some love on my behalf 😄

(For more Skyward Sword art, try this one from 2021 rather than 2011)

A major port for centuries and France's historic gateway to Britain, Calais had no news for good reasons.

Many hustle on their way to Paris or picturesque places in northern France. But if you have an open mind there’s a lot to keep you occupied. The ever-present belfry is a UNESCO site, and just opposite is one of Auguste Rodin’s most acclaimed works. You can immerse yourself in the history of the Calais lace factory, and dive into the preserved underground bunker. Discover the best things to do in Calais.

[toc]

1. Town Hall

Calais’ town hall has a 75-meter-high belfry that is part of a UNESCO site straddling the French and Belgian border, made up of towers within the old Duchy of Burgundy and the historic County of Flanders.

It may seem historical from afar, but it's really from the 20th century, designed in a renaissance style. Inside, you can see patterns of operation of the Port of Calais, and you can also catch an elevator up to the viewing platform in the bell tower for a vast view. Most agree that the belfry’s chimes are among the most beautiful in France.

2. Burghers of Calais

In front of City Hall on the edge of the Parc Saint Pierre is one of Auguste Rodinftime's most famous works. It was unveiled in 1895 and was designed to honor the self-sacrifice of six of Calais’ leaders after a year-long siege from 1346 to 1347 that was part of the 100 Years’ War.

When Calais finally surrendered, Edward III promised that the townspeople would be spared if six guards agreed to speak to him, for what they thought would be executed. The sculpture depicts them starting to walk in shame, with necklaces around their necks, subconsciously, in an extraordinary way.

There are several Burghers of Calais actors on display around the world, but this is the original.

3. La Cité de la Dentelle et de la Mode

Ren City and Fashion reveal the past and present of lace production. The museum is located in one of Calais's last collective lace factories, founded in the 1870s. By 1902, there were 80 looms operating here, and the weight and power of these iron machines, the walls of the U-shaped building had to be sloped out to counterbalance.

The showrooms feature 3320 hand-made pieces and lace throughout the years, with collections by designers such as Iris van Herpen and Cristóbal Balenciaga. Expert tullists demonstrate their profession on an active loom you can see in action every hour of every afternoon.

4. Musée de la Guerre de Calais

Also in the Parc Saint-Pierre is a Nazi bunker almost 200 meters in length. When you reach the entrance, you will understand how it can escape bomb damage during the war, as this structure is completely obscured by the park's foliage in the summer.

When Calais was arrested, Canadian forces attacked the bunker, using flamethrowers in their attack. The bunker was a communications center for the entire northwest of France, built-in 1941, and now has 21 galleries with artifacts, photographs, uniforms and newspaper cuttings.

Warnings posted and propaganda posters shed light on life in Calais during the occupation.

5. Calais Lighthouse

The city’s 53-meter high lighthouse was completed in 1848 and also managed to escape damage in the Second World War. The main attraction is at the top, where on a clear day you can create the White Cliffs of Dover.

That’s provided you’re feeling spry, as you have to scale 271 steps to get up there. In the adjoining building, a small, different museum tells you about the previous lighthouse owners who worked here until 1987 and has Channel Channel maps that illustrate the weight of the daily traffic.

6. Musée des Beaux-Arts de Calais

  On the upper side of Parc Richelieu, Calais’ main art museum has some exciting pieces in an airy interior that belies the building’s stern and unwelcoming appearance from the street.

The museum concentrates on French, Dutch and Flemish art from a variety of eras, with Gerrit van Honthorst and Balthasar van der Ast from the Dutch Golden age, and Eugène Boudin perhaps the most important French painter on display.

You can get some wonderful insights about how Rodin’s Burghers of Calais came about, as there’s a whole room filled with the figures in terracotta, plaster, and bronze.

7. Courgain Maritime

The Art Museum and Lighthouse are both in Courgan Maritime, the historic fishing district of Calais.

Like most cities, there is not much evidence of medieval architecture because of the significant destruction during the wars, but visitors who are eye-informed and can find a lot of traces. exciting.

One is the Tour du Guet, a medieval watchtower erected in the early-13th century with a height of almost 40 meters. It was used as the city lighthouse until the present was built. Fort Risban has controlled the harbor since the middle ages, and at that time it was controlled by the English, French, Spanish, and German.

The legendary military engineer Vauban visited the fort in the late 17th-century and made some minor alterations, but much of these were lost when the building was wrecked by an accidental explosion in 1799.

8. City Parks

Many people waiting for their ferry, or newly off the boat, will stop at Parc Richelieu to get fresh air and stretch their legs. It’s a well-tended green space with a pond in the center and paths through thickets and next to shrubberies and flower beds.

Parc Saint-Pierre has a lot of French feeling when you notice from the locals playing pétanque. There are pergolas, balustrades and an ornate fountain.

9. Calais Beach

On a hot day, you can do much worse than going down to the city beach, a little west of the harbor. Many bathers can see the steam is fast, but they are shallow and safe because the beach has a very low slope.

For the rest, there's a soft strip of golden sand stretching to relax and rows of graceful beach tents painted in white.

As you head west, the landscape behind the beach becomes more rural and you enter the Nat Natelel Régional des Caps et Marais amusement park Opale, a large protected area, in contrast to the industry and central strip to the east and south of Calais. Further to the harbor is a promenade with mini-golf, bars, and restaurants.

10. Cap Blanc-Nez and Escalles

Just over ten kilometers from Calais is Cap Blanc-Nez, a headland with soaring white chalk cliffs that are the mirror image of those in Dover. The highest point is 134 meters and above the sheer chalk bluffs is grassy moorland cratered occasionally by Second World War bombs.

There are bunkers here from the war and a monument to the Dover Patrol, a World War I Allied campaign to protect the strait. Escalles Beach, a little further away, has a widescreen beauty, set on magnificent cliffs. Come for unforgettable adventures at any time of the year.

The Myths and Realities of Becoming a Professional Photographer

As a professional photographer, I think the number one mistake for aspiring pros is to fall for certain myths about the craft and career. In this article, we’ll look at some of the myths and realities of being a professional photographer. If you’re on the fence about taking the leap it may help you decide.

But first a little story

My heart was beating fast as I approached the school. My dad was holding my hand when I started to put my foot down on the ground. Despite my protests, my dad quickly dropped me in class and left in a flash. I wasn’t his problem anymore.

Bad move. I started screaming.

The teacher, as wise and as calm as she could, tried to calm me down. She made the mistake of putting her hands near my face. I opened my mouth just like you see in the movie jaws and WHAM I bit her hands and pressed as hard as I could. I bit her so bad you would think an enraged dog bit her.

The moral of the story

What, you may ask, does that have to do with professional photography? In a sense, everything, because that episode taught me about one thing I would like to talk about today – setting expectations.

You see, I had absolutely no idea what I was getting into both as a 5-year-old heading to school for the first time and starting out as a professional photographer. They both caused me trouble. If you do not plan, you plan to fail, but it’s hard to plan when you have absolutely no idea what to expect!

Here are a few myths that I believed about professional photography and how reality slapped me hard. Hopefully, these will help you avoid the same mistakes I made.

Myth #1 – Being a professional photographer = validation

I don’t know where the idea comes from, but it seems like for everyone that picks up the camera, the pinnacle of achievement seems to become a professional photographer. It’s almost like a necessary evolution. At first, you have a camera, people start complimenting your work, then you decide to become a pro. It was too late for me to realize it, but I would have been perfectly happy as an amateur.

At the end of the day what really matters is the images, if you can get a few bucks for them, great! But becoming a pro will not magically validate you or your images. I expected to feel better about my images and myself when money started rolling in, but that never really happened.

Myth #2 – You get to spend all your time shooting

This is most likely the biggest myth of all time in regards professional photography. People sell it to you like all you will be doing is shooting all day, every day. But that is far from the truth because you will spend more time seeking work than actually working.

You don’t spend most of your time shooting, you spend it marketing, attending events, networking, putting yourself out there. Whatever time you get in front of the camera, you’ll spend two to three times as much simply editing as well.

If you believe photography is hard, it is actually the easy part. The hard part comes after; selling your work. It’s a sobering truth that probably hits every photographer, writer, painter, etc., that the product or service is only the first and easiest part of the process, the hardest effort comes afterward.

But you say, “I believe that I am good photographer, and people will realize how much better I am than Joe Shmoe.” I understand the feeling, and you are probably better than Joe, but that brings us to the next myth.

Myth #3 – Being good is enough

I call this myth the “best product fallacy”. Just because you are good doesn’t mean anything. Van Gogh was good yet he died in obscurity. Talent is not enough, the world has millions of talented photographers, painters, actors and more that are eating dust.They had a social experiment where they put one of the

There was a social experiment where they put one of the world’s highest paid musicians in a subway station, playing a million dollar violin by the way. Did the world recognize his talents, did they put their wallets out begging him to take their money? No. Nobody really cared. Watch the video below.

We’ll get back to this later but for now, just know it doesn’t matter that you’re a good photographer. Don’t get me wrong, you’d better be good at what you do, but that does not in any way shape or form guarantee you success by itself. Talent is just not enough.

Myth #4 – You’ll be rich and famous

If everything you see is success story after success story, doesn’t it follow that if you try it too, you might become rich and famous? Even more, won’t you just blaze through it because you are talented? Many photographers make a living telling you how to be a professional, so of course, they will sell you a dream. It’s like many guys on YouTube, you’ve probably seen a few.

They try and sell you a dream. But the reality for all the photographers that I know, is that it’s an income that pays the bills. And they sure aren’t well-known outside their local area. Sure there are superstar photographers in the world but that is what they are, stars. Just like the Hollywood stars, for every well-known one, there are others just making a living.

The things is that not everyone can be a superstar photographer (depending on who you ask, a superstar makes more than $40,000 a year) because when it comes to wealth distribution there is inherent inequality. There will always be a group that makes more than the rest combined. For example, there’s about 20% of the countries that have 80% of the wealth, about 20% of actors make 80% of the wealth, about 10% of the companies that make 90% of the wealth: Companies like Apple, Google, Microsoft, Samsung, etc., take the lion’s share.

Only the top elite will ever reach that level

Same for photography, there’s a group that earns more than all others combined (and if you really want to go deep, a group within that group that earns more than the others combined again, Terry Richardson, who earned 58 million in one year, is probably in that group ).

The worse part is that many of them make it sound easy because they want to teach you how to become a professional photographer. I’m not saying you can’t become rich and famous. What I am saying is, that when you are on your quest for fame and fortune know that there’s only a few that can make it to the very top. It’s a bit like football, not everyone can be an NFL player. That should put in perspective the amount of effort required.

Count the costs

A few years ears ago I had to rent a U-Haul truck to move from my apartment to my wife’s parents’ house with our baby in tow. The reason was that I had failed to understand that professional photography was as much about marketing and selling as it was photography. It almost cost me my marriage as well.

So, count the costs. If you want to build a house, add up the costs, if you want to be a pro, count the costs. It’s not just about shooting, see the sacrifices and the long and hard road ahead.

Also, understand the nature of the beast. You will usually see success stories but never those who have failed…and there’s more of the latter than the former. Take it from me, I cried many times because things were not working.

What now?

This article is by no means meant to discourage you from becoming a professional photographer, just the opposite. It is meant to empower you to avoid unnecessary pitfalls due to unrealistic expectations. That episode at 5-years old would not have happened if only my dad prepared me for exactly what was going to happen. I would not have needed to move out to my in-laws’ if I had known what to expect going pro.

If you want to become a pro, by all means, go for it, just be realistic about it. You’ll need to learn a whole other field (business, marketing, etc.) above and beyond photography. Coming back to Joshua Bell (the violinist), he didn’t change, his skills didn’t change, the only difference between him and countless other metro violinists is his marketing. So the wisest thing you can do is to learn about marketing, running a business, and how to sell your work. This is probably the single most important piece of advice I could ever give you, because trust me, your images won’t sell themselves.

Conclusion

I love being a professional photographer, I wouldn’t do anything else, it’s in my blood. But making a living from photography is harder than many would lead you to believe. It’s not just about being talented, it’s about selling yourself, and more of your time will be spent doing the latter than the former.

I believe people make mistakes so that not only they can learn from them, but others can benefit as well. So, take it from me, I had to move in with my wife’s parents, I was on the brink of divorce and had many teary nights. Count the costs, and learn how to sell.

Be yourself, stay focused, and keep on shooting.
