The fool on the hill - Chapter 2

Thank you for your likes and reblogs and everything!

Hope you like the 2nd chapter too. Sorry for my bad English/writing. And I have no idea what happened to the formatting. But at the moment it's the idea that counts, right? 😅

Here's the link if you prefer the archive

Btw, Tom's birthday is Feb 9th, in case anyone is unfamiliar with such unnecessary knowledge ;) and they filmed from Jan - Dec 2020, if someone gets confused.

Thirty-nine

After they were done with filming for that day, Tom had invited the crew to come to his little birthday party. They had given him a more than cool tesseract cake today and he wanted to return the favor.

He looked around.

Everyone was there but no Owen.

Tom knew it was silly to be sad about it, but still..... He had been so looking forward to seeing him today on his birthday.

Owen had had his day off so they hadn't seen each other on set and Owen had said that he would come. So where was he?

Tom sighed.

Well, he was a showman, after all. So he took a deep breath, tapped his spoon on his champagne glass to make himself known ... And smiled.

"Ten years ago ... on my 29th birthday ... I was also on a film set ... playing Loki ..." he began his speech.

"And I couldn't be prouder to be here now .... still playing Loki at..." he took a deep breath and contorted his face as if in pain, "thirty-nine!"

The crew cheered and someone shouted, "Wait until you're forty-nine and you're still wearing that leather suit!" It was Bill from the set design.

Tom laughed. "Yeah, you're right, Bill. Thirty-nine is no age for Loki. We will see what the future brings. Well, everyone, thank you for coming tonight." He pointed in the direction of the buffet. "And: I hereby open the little buffet. Please enjoy!"

The crew cheered again.

It had been a great day for him so far, he absolutely loved filming Loki, the crew was fantastic, he got a cool cake … what more could he ask for actually?

Well, Owen if he was honest. He asked for Owen.

To see him on his birthday.

Tom sipped his champagne, mingled with the people, chatted with his colleagues, laughed with them, and politely thanked everyone for their birthday wishes.

Well, yes, he could always play the happiest person in the room, even if he wasn't.

But suddenly someone tapped him on the shoulder, and when he turned around and finally saw Owen standing in front of him, smiling at him, cheekily like only Owen could, Tom definitely was the happiest person in the room. "Owen!" A rush of pure happiness ran through his body. And he really had to concentrate not to shout out Owen's name again. So he did it inwardly.

Owen!

And he smiled. And this time for real.

"Sorry I'm late," Owen apologized. "I got lost at the mall. I wanted to buy some socks for Mobius. I thought, how cool would that be if he had socks with little jet skis on them. You know, socks of his free will under his TVA suit."

And Tom's smile became even wider.

Because what could you do when Owen told you, in his typical singsong voice, that he'd bought socks for his acting role.

"I mean, I knew they wouldn't really have socks with jet skis on them," Owen went on, "but I found something similar. The kind with little waves on them...and beaches... and suns.. stuff like that."

God, Owen's devotion for Mobius hit Tom right in his heart and he was so speechless about that, he only managed to say, "That's ... so ... cool."

"Anyway," Owen handed him a small package, "I got these for you."

Tom felt like a stupid teenager, unable to cope to get a present from his high school crush, so again he ran out of words: "Thanks... Owen."

"Happy birthday, man!" Owen hugged him and patted him on the shoulder. "Thirty-nine! How does that feel, huh?"

"Well, right now I feel better because you're here." And because Tom didn't know what that sounded like, he hastily added. "You being even a full decade older than me."

"Well," Owen raised his eyebrows in understanding, "it's all a matter of maturity."

And Tom had to admit that Owen was right.

Back in 2010 when they were filming Midnight in Paris Tom thought of Owen as a lovable great guy… but now… there was something else to it. Now he thought Owen was really attractive. Even with that mustache. Or maybe just because of it. Tom wasn't so sure about that. But he was afraid to think about it too long, so he looked at the little package Owen had given him.

"So what's this?"

Owen signaled him to unwrap it.

So he did. And he really had to laugh out loud as he held a pair of socks with avocados in his hands. "Socks! You bought me socks, too!"

Owen grinned. "Yeah, I thought they might go with that nice jogging outfit of yours and make it even fancier, you know!"

"I'll bet, Owen," Tom laughed. "I'll bet."

And because he was so glad Owen was here, and that Owen had bought socks for Mobius and given him this sweet gift, he hugged Owen, even though they had just hugged.

"Thank you, Owen."

And maybe he hugged him a second too long, but it was his birthday, so he dared.

When they parted again, Owen looked at him with those sparkling eyes that Tom loved so much.

"So, you've got to come to Maui sometime. There are like 200 different kinds of avocados there. Big ones like this!" Owen showed him the size, "and the Kahalu'u ... that's the best one." And he made a face like he was tasting something delicious.

Tom smiled to himself.

Because he realized that now it was exactly how he wanted it to be.

Talking and laughing with Owen on his birthday.

His party finally had begun.

originally I was going to write out an analysis on the big4′s zodiac signs but I started reading up on that kind of stuff and just got Confused™ so I’m just gonna propose some dates for y’all

Merida

Merida has the luxury of having an on screen birthday during the prolouge. Even better: it’s outside, where we can check the weather and conditions.

The filmmakers (at some point(?)) said that the trees they animated are a mixture of Rowan trees, Birches, and Scots pines. Now I’m not an expert on botany or trees but I’m led to believe that Rowan trees turn red in Autumn and typically fall off in early winter. I know that Brich trees also do this and I believe I can see some turning yellow in the above images. Scots Pine is an evergreen and so it would stay green all throughout Autumn and Winter.

Now my question is what time did the main events of the movie take place, bc there are also yellow leaves around then too.

So are these trees permanently yellow, or is it early autumn? Or am I seeing things and it’s just summer?

So, anyway, Merida likely has her birthday between June and October.

Rapunzel

Rapunzel also gets an on screen birthday, but more importantly, she sings this line:

which makes this much easier since that narrows it down to June, July and August.

Hiccup

Hiccup is a blessing since has a canonical birthday on Feb 29. Although you could argue that it’s only canon in the books but considering we never see his birthday mentioned in the films it’s quite probable that they aren’t bothered by when his birthday is.

So Feb 29th it is.

Jack

I got nothing.

Except for maybe one discussion on his wiki page - a user called Kkeire7 subtracted 317 years worth of days from the release date of RotG and got January 27th.

Some people theorize that his birthday is on the Winter Solstice (similar to Little My’s situation) which seems to fall on December 22nd or December 21st depending on the year.

Magical Girl Talk

Sailor Moon Eternal:

youtube

First of all, let’s talk about Sailor Moon Eternal movies. So I'm listen to Momoiro Clover Z's new opening for the music... it's not too bad, but it didn't have the "feel" to it. I mean, I’m used to the Moonlight Densetsu/Sailor Moon theme song in the older seasons, but I really wish they reused it on the recent Eternal movies. I mean, I don't hate Momoiro Clover Z singing the new theme songs, but I'm just used to the old theme song. Maybe when the movie comes out, I might like it. I’m just throwing my two cents here. Both movies will be coming out on Jan. 8th and Feb. 11th, 2021!

Precure Miracle Leap:

youtube

With several delays, this movie has finally have a release date! It stars Hugtto! Precure, Star Twinke Precure, and our current heroines: Healin’ Good Precure. Honestly, I think it’s a worth of wait because it suffered from delays, even the show itself have to be delayed until July. This movie will be coming out on October 31st (Halloween), 2020!

Looking for Magical Doremi:

youtube

Doremi is back after 10 years after the series ended, and we got new characters in this movie. Like Precure Miracle Leap, it was also delayed until it reveals a new release date for a film. I dunno much details about this film since I remembered watching this show a while back, but it introduces three new characters who are young adults searching for Doremi and her friends. This movie will be coming out on Nov. 13th, 2020!

Balala The Fairies ~Ocean Magic~ II:

youtube

The Ocean Fairies are back with new adventures, moving from 2D animation to 3D CGI! Princess Azure, Kaylyn, and Finn are now working on a Aquarium to save marine life, but was interrupted by the group of pirates corrupting not only humans, but marine life as well. The show is currently airing in Chinese TV and was released on Sept. 29th, 2020! Hopefully someday someone will fansubbed both seasons.

Winx Club Season 9:

Finally, let’s talk about upcoming Winx Club Season 9. Even though I haven’t finished watching Season 8, I’m aware of the spoilers but I do read that Season 8 was... ehhh... alright I guess? Anyway, let’s focus on this upcoming season: according to some research, the Licensing Summit Online in Russia announced that Rainbow S.r.l. is working on Season 9 and it is scheduled to premiere in sometime in 2021-2022. It is also revealed that the season's format has been changed where it will be 52 episodes, 13-minutes of length each (13x52), instead of the usual "26 episodes, 22 minutes" format. To be honest, I have mixed feelings about this as I usually liked watching full episodes in 26 episodes, as Winx Club was used to this kind of format. I know Season 8 was focusing on preschoolers, but with all the negative impact with this season (e.g whitewashing), I dunno what those people were thinking. I mean, Winx Club does have violence and drama in it, so why aiming it at preschoolers? Also, there’s the Fate: A Winx Club Saga coming to Netflix, but I don’t plan on watching it since I regret watching Live Action series of ReBoot. The release date of this season is currently unknown, but it most likely to be released around Q4 2021 - Q1 2022!

PLEASE SUPPORT AN INDIE-FILM GROUP!

We all know about shows like The Witcher and Game of Thrones (for the most part!) enthrall their viewers. Fantasy as a genre has really taken off within the last few years. But when you think about it, how much of the money actually goes into caring for the shows and the people who work the hardest on them?

The team have a Kickstarter page dedicated to raising the necessary funds to make the first two episodes of the new series. The Kickstarter will close on Feb. 29th at midnight, British time. Their goal is ten thousand pounds sterling. If they don't reach this goal, they get none of the money and we will never see series 2. As you can see from the provided images (date: 20th Feb 2020), they really need your help!

I'm not an official advocate for the company, I represent them in no way, but the team at Mythica Entertainment are an indie-film group who are currently working on getting series 2 of their show REN: The Girl With The Mark renewed, and they really need your help!

Their director, Kate Madison, is the talent behind the hit LORD OF THE RINGS prequel 'BORN OF HOPE', a film recounting the story of how Aragorn's parents met and the very early years of his life. Madison's storytelling abilities have developed exceptionally since BORN OF HOPE was released, making REN: THE GIRL WITH THE MARK a thoroughly enjoyable experience, one that deserves its place in the fantasy community.

The tumblr community is brilliant when it comes to helping those who need financial support! I see so much love from my mutuals, who support what they can and boost everything else! I ask now that you keep up that amazing community spirit!

In my own culture, storytelling has forever been a staple part of life. Storytelling should be accessible to all, through every medium available, and should not be gate-kept by bigger companies, who ultimately back whatever will bring them money in the quickest way possible. But recently we have begun to demand better standards in our entertainment, and it is indie groups like Mythica who can step up to those standards.

If you can support the project financially, please, please, please do so! If not, kindly reblog to spread awareness! I've linked the Kickstarter page below!

If you've read far, I'm sure you're interested in what you can do! Thank you for that! If you want to see series 1 of the show before contributing, it's free to watch on YouTube in very manageable episodes! I've linked them below. Enjoy!! Have a lovely day, wherever you are!!

It premiered on 7 February 2020 on Netflix in Poland, quickly gaining popularity Plot/sinopsis Five years ago, Massimo's father and his right hand man, Mario, are in meeting with black market dealers. Massimo steps away to watch a beautiful woman play on a beach nearby. After the meeting, Massimo's father suggests that his son become more serious about the family business as one day, Massimo will lead the Torricelli family. As they embrace, Massimo's father is shot from behind, piercing Massimo as well. Current day, Massimo is the leader of the Torricelli mafia. He has become ruthless and violent, and blackmails an investment company in San Francisco into paying back a bad investment with steep interest. In Warsaw, Laura Biel gains the upper hand in a meeting of executive directors for a luxury hotel, and returns to her apartment with boyfriend, Martin, feeling victorious. She tries to initiate sex with Martin, but he puts her off, claiming she needs to rest given her heart condition. As she walks away, Martin reminds her to pack their bags, as they are headed to Italy with friends to celebrate her 29th birthday. Unsatisfied, Laura masturbates in their bedroom. Meanwhile Massimo takes a private flight back to Italy. Mario tries to give Massimo advice, cautioning against brash action. Massimo brushes Mario off, and moves to the back of the plane with the female flight attendant. The mafia boss forces her to sit, and she willfully performs oral sex on him while he ignores sensual texts from a woman named Anna. Once in Italy, Martin coaxes people to sing happy birthday to Laura, to her embarrassment. A bottle of champagne is delivered to their table and Laura is surprised Martin remembered her favorite brand. He admits he didn't order the bottle, and quickly becomes distracted with pouring drinks. With Laura's best friend, Olga, taking selfies, Laura goes for a walk down a quiet lane. She runs into Massimo, whom she does not know. Disturbed, Laura moves around him to walk back to her table. When she checks behind her, Massimo has disappeared. The next day, Olga and Laura are lounging by the pool before she steps away and is kidnapped. When she wakes up, she is in an Italian villa she doesn't recognize. In a panic, she explores the home only to come across Massimo. He approaches her and shoves her into a chair. He explains that when he was shot five years ago, all he could see was Laura's face, as it is revealed she was the woman he was watching on the beach. When he recovered, he searched all over the world for her. By chance, Massimo saw Laura at the Italian airport, and knew he had to have her. He intends to keep her prisoner for 365 days, until Laura falls in love with him. When Laura threatens to escape, Massimo answers that he will have her parents assassinated. When Laura states that people will be looking for her, Massimo hands her photographs of Martin's infidelity and explains that a letter was delivered to Martin on Laura's behalf, stating she was leaving him. Laura tries to fight Massimo, but is once again shoved into a chair. He begins to caress her, explaining that he will not touch her until she permits it. Laura manages to briefly pull the gun from Massimo's waistband but Massimo manages to get the gun and pins her by her throat to the wall. When Mario and Domenico, Massimo's best friend, come into the room, Massimo orders Domenico to take her to her room. Immediately after, Massimo enters the catacombs of his estate where a man is tied to a large pedestal. Once a member of the Torricelli mafia family, he was caught selling young girls to brothels. Massimo states that the man will be erased from history for his dishonor, and orders him brought up to the garden. Laura escapes her room and also finds her way into the garden, arriving just as the man is excecuted. Shocked , Laura faints due to her heart condition and is put into bed . The following day, Massimo takes Laura on a shopping trip. She teases him throughout with expensive clothing and erotic lingerie. When Massimo forces himself into her dressing room, she angrily states if he doesn't leave immediately, it will be the last time he'll see her in lingerie. In response, Massimo pins her to the mirror by her throat, and informs her that if he pays for the garment, he will see it any time he pleases, before leaving the dressing room. Once dressed, Laura runs out into the street in an attempt to escape. She finds policemen and informs them she's been kidnapped, but when they see Massimo, they promptly leave. Massimo repeats his deal of 365 days, promising that Laura will, eventually, love him. In response, Laura demands a normal dinner, and the return of her laptop and cellphone. For dinner that night, Laura dresses in a promiscuous gown with visible lingerie beneath. Massimo briefly describes how his father died. He states he didn't have a choice in becoming the head of the Torricelli family, and asks Laura to help him. Walking to her side, he caresses her body and claims that he wants her to teach him how to be gentle. She goes to her room to find her laptop and cellphone, and calls her mother to tell her she received a job opportunity in Sicily. When she wakes in the morning, Massimo is in bed with her. Stripping naked so he can watch, she begins to shower, and is soon joined by him. She taunts him by staring at his genitals, and he approaches her, demanding why. She doesn't answer, she teases him by caressing his body and when she tries to leave the shower, Massimo grabs her by the chin and forces her against him, warning her once again not to test him. Later, Laura is fighting as she's forced onto a private jet. Inside, she has been bound to a chair. Massimo sits beside her and teases her nipple through her blouse, then unbuttons her pants and caresses between her thighs. He reminds her that he won't touch her unless she begs for it, then leaves her alone to join the other Torricelli men during the flight. Once in Rome, Laura is brought along to his meetings and continually misbehaves, irking Massimo. Back at the hotel, Laura goes to Massimo's room wearing a robe. Massimo, wearing only a towel, invites her inside. Laura teases Massimo, but when she tries to leave, finds the door locked. She demands he open it, but instead Massimo shoves her onto the bed and cuffs her wrists and ankles. Naked, he remarks on how vulnerable she is. Laura is made to watch Massimo receive oral sex from another woman who leaves promptly after. Afterwards, Massimo caresses Laura's body while she begs him to stop. Massimo stops, releases her from her restraints, and orders her to get dressed for a club they'll be visiting in a few hours. Laura arrives at the club with Domenico, who warns that Massimo will be angry about her short dress. Unconcerned, she flaunts herself for Massimo and his friends, earning his ire. He walks away to finish his meeting with a rival mafia family, but keeps an eye on Laura. When she begins to openly flirt with a man from the opposite family, the man fondles and gropes her against her will. Laura fights, and Massimo and the others draw their weapons while Laura is taken out of the club . The following morning, Laura wakes on a yacht to Mario and Massimo arguing. During the night, Massimo shot the man who had tried to rape Laura, inciting a mafia war between the two families. Mario insists that Massimo has to get rid of Laura, but Massimo refuses. Laura interrupts to apologize, she asks if he killed the man and Massimo responds telling her he shot his hands then Massimo turns his anger onto her, informing her that had she not dressed or behaved in the way she had, he wouldn't have had to kill the man. Laura, angry, tells Massimo it wasn't her fault the man tried to rape her. They argue on the upper decks of the ship, and Laura falls into the water. Massimo jumps in after her and pulls her aboard. When she wakes a little while later, Massimo admits he was scared she might not make it because of her heart condition and doesn’t want to lose her . In response, Laura performs oral sex on Massimo. The two then have sex all day long in various locations on the yacht. During a brief respite, Massimo informs Laura they will be going to a masquerade ball. At the ball, Laura meets Anna, Massimo's long-time on-again-off-again girlfriend, who insists she is the true love of Massimo's life. Back at the hotel, Laura is distraught. Massimo approaches her and they have sex. Afterwards, Massimo says he will allow her to visit Warsaw so she can see her family and has rented an apartment for her. As he leaves, he tells Laura he loves her and that he will join her after he concludes some business, likely to do with the brewing mafia war. In Warsaw, Laura waits for Massimo for days with no contact. She reconnects with Olga, who is at first angry at Laura for her disappearance until Laura explains the situation. The girls go clubbing, much to Laura's enjoyment. While at the club, Olga goes off with a man, leaving Laura alone and drunk. Martin finds her and explains he's been looking for her to apologize and explain the photographs. Martin tells her about receiving the letter, and begs her to take him back. He follows her back to her apartment where Massimo is unexpectedly waiting, and tells Martin to go. Angry at being abandoned, Laura slaps and pushes Massimo. Massimo grabs her and puts her against the window and begins to have sex with her. By the time they move to the bed Laura opens Massimo's shirt to see wounds on his torso as a result from the mafia war. Massimo asks what's wrong, to which Laura replies she loves him. The following morning, Laura awakes to find a ring on her finger and Massimo proposes. She says yes. They then go on a shopping trip for Laura's sister's upcoming wedding and have sex in the changing room. At the celebration, Laura asks Massimo to keep his "occupation" a secret from her parents. Massimo and her parents meet, and seem to get along. Back at Massimo's villa in Italy, Mario informs Massimo of rising tensions while they have been in Poland. Laura briefly mentions feeling unwell, and Massimo suggests she see a doctor, which she brushes off. They discuss their upcoming wedding that Laura's family is not allowed to attend, as she does not want them to find out what Massimo does. However, Massimo allows Olga to come as her bridesmaid. After Massimo leaves, Laura asks Mario why the man doesn't like her. Mario states that he does like her, but her relationship with Massimo has complicated matters. With Dominico as escort, Laura picks up Olga and the women have a heated discussion. Olga finds out Laura is pregnant, and is at first against the wedding as Laura and Massimo have only known each other for two months. However, Olga supports Laura and they spend the rest of the day shopping for wedding dresses. On the car ride back to the villa, Olga urges Laura to call Massimo and tell him about the pregnancy. Laura does so, and as she and Massimo are talking, Mario receives a phone call from a Torricelli informant that the rival mafia family is about to kill Laura. Laura's car enters a tunnel, but does not come out the other side. Mario rushes to find Massimo just as Laura's call drops before she can tell him about the baby. When Massimo sees the look on Mario's face, he realizes what has happened and falls to his knees. Back at the tunnel, emergency vehicles arrive. cast Anna-Maria Sieklucka as Laura Biel Michele Morrone as Don Massimo Torricelli Bronisław Wrocławski as Mario Otar Saralidze as Domenico Magdalena Lamparska as Olga Natasza Urbańska as Anna Grażyna Szapołowska as Laura's mother Tomasz Stockinger as Laura's father Gianni Parisi as Massimo's father Mateusz Łasowski as Martin Blanka Lipińska as a bride Definition and definition of film / film While the players who play a role in the film are referred to as actors (men) or actresses (women). There is also the term extras that are used as minor characters with few roles in the film. This differs from the main actors, who have larger and more roles. As an actor and actress, good acting talent must be required that corresponds to the subject of the film in which he plays the leading role. In certain scenes, the role of the actor can be replaced by a stunt man or a stunt man. The existence of a stuntman is important to replace the actors who play difficult and extreme scenes that are usually found in action-action films. Movies can also be used to deliver certain messages from the filmmaker. Some industries also use film to convey and represent their symbols and culture. Filmmaking is also a form of expression, thoughts, ideas, concepts, feelings and moods of a person that are visualized in the film. The film itself is mostly fictional, though some are based on actual stories or on a true story. There are also documentaries with original and real images or biographical films that tell the story of a character. There are many other popular genre films, from action films, horror films, comedy films, romantic films, fantasy films, thriller films, drama films, science fiction films, crime films, documentaries and others. This is some information about the definition of film or film. The information has been cited from various sources and references. Hope it can be useful. ❍❍❍ TV FILM ❍❍❍The first television shows were experimental, sporadic programs that from the 1930s could only be seen at a very short distance from the mast. TV events such as the 1936 Summer Olympics in Germany, the crowning of King George VI. In Britain in 19340 and the famous launch of David Sarnoff at the 1939 New York World’s Fair in the United States, the medium grew, but World War II brought development to a halt after the war. The 19440 World MOVIE inspired many Americans to buy their first television, and in 1948 the popular Texaco Star Theater radio moved to become the first weekly television variety show that hosted Milton Berle and earned the name “Mr Television” demonstrated The medium was a stable, modern form of entertainment that could attract advertisers. The first national live television broadcast in the United States took place on September 4, 1951, when President Harry Truman’s speech at the Japanese Peace Treaty Conference in San Francisco on AT & T’s transcontinental cable and microwave relay system was broadcasting to broadcasters in local markets has been. The first national color show (the 1954 Rose Parade tournament) in the United States took place on January 1, 1954. For the next ten years, most network broadcasts and almost all local broadcasts continued to be broadcast in black and white. A color transition was announced for autumn 1965, in which more than half of all network prime time programs were broadcast in color. The first all-color peak season came just a year later. In 19402, the last holdout of daytime network shows was converted to the first full color network season. ❍❍❍ formats and genres ❍❍❍ See also: List of genres § Film and television formats and genres TV shows are more diverse than most other media due to the variety of formats and genres that can be presented. A show can be fictional (as in comedies and dramas) or non-fictional (as in documentary, news, and reality television). It can be current (as in the case of a local news program and some television films) or historical (as in the case of many documentaries and fictional films). They can be educational or educational in the first place, or entertaining, as is the case with situation comedies and game shows. [Citation required] A drama program usually consists of a series of actors who play characters in a historical or contemporary setting. The program follows their lives and adventures. Before the 1980s, shows (with the exception of soap opera series) generally remained static without storylines, and the main characters and premise barely changed. [Citation required] If the characters’ lives changed a bit during the episode, it was usually reversed in the end. For this reason, the episodes can be broadcast in any order. [Citation required] Since the 1980s, many FILMS have had a progressive change in the plot, characters, or both. For example, Hill Street Blues and St. Elsewhere were two of the first American prime time drama television films to have this kind of dramatic structure [4] [better source required], while the later MOVIE Babylon 5 further illustrated such a structure had a predetermined story about the planned five season run. [Citation required] In 2020, it was reported that television became a larger part of the revenue of large media companies than the film. Some also noticed the quality improvement of some television programs. In 2020, Oscar-winning film director Steven Soderbergh declared the ambiguity and complexity of character and narrative: “I think these qualities are now being seen on television and people who want to see stories with such qualities are watching TV. ❍❍❍ Thanks for everything and have fun watching❍❍❍ Here you will find all the films that you can stream online, including the films that were shown this week. If you’re wondering what to see on this website, you should know that it covers genres that include crime, science, fi-fi, action, romance, thriller, comedy, drama, and anime film. Thanks a lot.

TOP 10 INK AND COLOR ARTISTS OF 2019′S REVIEWS

This year I felt the need to also do this list. Why? Well, when I was going through the most prominent artists with a 10 score, I noticed that some names were in almost all of them, but they weren’t the main artists. These artists are mostly inkers and colorists, and they are industry professionals, that usually worked for the publisher directly. This is the main reason they were involved in most of the art teams. Some of these were working for hire though. But you will also notice that unlike the writers and pencillers lists, this one is a lot more diverse.

NUMBER TEN JOHN HIGGINS (1949 - PRESENT)

John Higgins (born 1949) is an English comic book artist and writer. He did significant work for 2000 AD, and he has frequently worked with writer Alan Moore, most notably as colorist for Watchmen.

John Higgins was born in Walton, Liverpool. After leaving school when he was 15, he joined the army and, on leaving, spent some time in a commune in Wiltshire. He returned to Liverpool and, in 1971, resumed his studies at Wallasey College of Art. There, in 1974 he qualified in technical illustration, which allowed him to get a job as a medical illustrator at The Royal Marsden NHS Foundation Trust.

After getting his first comic book art published in Brainstorm in 1975, he drew the cover for 2000 AD No. 43 in 1977 and decided to go freelance in 1978, with an eye on becoming a comic artist. In 1981 he started getting regular work at 2000 AD, one of his early projects being the art for a Tharg's Future Shocks by Alan Moore, as well as doing covers for Marvel UK.

After this he worked steadily at 2000 AD and joined the British Invasion in the mid-eighties—notably doing the colouring on Moore's Watchmen and Batman: The Killing Joke, a job he got through colouring Steve Dillon's art on Moore's ABC Warriors story. This led to more work in the American market, although he has kept working on British titles too especially with Judge Dredd over 20 years.

He provided the art for Greysuit with Pat Mills, as well as working with Justin Gray and Jimmy Palmiotti on The Hills Have Eyes: The Beginning and Jonah Hex No. 28.

Higgins is also a writer. He wrote and drew his first Future Shock at 2000 AD and did the same for Razorjack, a comic book mini-series from Com.x, which was reprinted in 2009.

Higgins has worked in a number of different areas providing artwork for animation, film and book covers like The Cabinet of Light and The Morgaine Stories. In 2012, Higgins worked on the Before Watchmen project, drawing the serialised feature "Curse of the Crimson Corsair" which was initially written by Len Wein. Higgins later became the writer of the feature as well.

In 2016 he provided the art for six stamps commemorating the Great Fire of London, illustrating them in the style of a comic strip.

In 2017 a collection of his artwork was exhibited at the Victoria Gallery & Museum in Liverpool, in an exhibition called Beyond Dredd & Watchmen: The Art of John Higgins.

Higgins made it into the list thanks to his work on “Batman: The Killing Joke” and “Watchmen”.

NUMBER NINE ROMEO TANGHAL (1943 - PRESENT)

Romeo Tanghal (born 1943) is a Filipino comics artist who has worked primarily as an inker. He became well known in the industry in the 1980s for his work on DC Comics' The New Teen Titans.

Romeo Tanghal was born and raised in the Philippines. A self–taught artist, he started doing comics illustrations after graduating high school. He briefly worked with various local publications before emigrating to the United States in 1976. His first published work in the U.S. was "If There Were No Batman... I Would Have to Invent Him" in Batman #284 (Feb. 1977) for DC Comics. He then drew short stories for House of Mystery, House of Secrets, and Weird War Tales. He later became the inker on such features as Super Friends, "Scalphunter" in Weird Western Tales, and "Gravedigger" in Men of War. In 1980, Tanghal became the inker of George Pérez's penciled artwork on The New Teen Titans. Tanghal drew two origin stories for DC's digest line during this time, a ten-page short story in DC Special Blue Ribbon Digest #5 (Nov.–Dec. 1980) featuring Zatara and Zatanna and the origin of the Penguin in The Best of DC #10 (March 1981). Tanghal began working for Marvel Comics as well in 1986. He inked the comics adaptations of such films as Labyrinth, Elvira, Mistress of the Dark, and Willow. Tanghal did character design and storyboards for Sunbow Entertainment from 1985 to 1987.

Tanghal received an Inkpot Award in 2013.

I usually think of Romeo when I think about the team of Wolfman and Pérez. Their work on New Teen Titans is the main reason he made it into this list.

NUMBER EIGHT LYNN VARLEY (1958 - PRESENT)

Lynn Varley is an award-winning American comic book colorist, notable for her collaborations with her then-husband, comic book writer/artist Frank Miller.

Varley grew up in Livonia, Michigan. Moving to New York City, she found work at Neal Adams' Continuity Associates. She debuted as a comic book colorist on Batman Annual # 8 (1982), written by Mike W. Barr and penciled by her then partner Trevor Von Eeden. Around the same time, she became professionally involved with Upstart Associates, a shared studio space on West 29th Street formed by Walter Simonson, Howard Chaykin, Val Mayerik, and Jim Starlin. Varley colored the first two issues of Chaykin's American Flagg! Frank Miller later became part of Upstart.

Varley provided the coloring for Miller's Ronin (1984), an experimental six-issue series from DC Comics that proved that comics in unusual formats could be commercially successful; and The Dark Knight Returns (1986), a four issue mini-series that went on to become an outstanding commercial and critical success. Miller also noted that Varley helped create the futuristic slang that Carrie Kelley and other characters use.

Subsequently, Varley colored other Miller books, including The Dark Knight Strikes Again, 300, Elektra Lives Again, Big Guy and Rusty the Boy Robot (with Geoff Darrow), as well as a number of covers for the U.S. editions of the Lone Wolf and Cub series. She also colored the backgrounds for the 300 movie (2007), produced by Miller.

Varley has only worked sporadically in the comics industry since 2005.

Varley and Miller were married from 1986 to 2005. They moved from New York City to Los Angeles in the late 1980s and moved back to New York shortly before the September 11 attacks.

Because of her collaborations with Miller, Lynn made it into this list thanks to her work on “Ronin”, “The Dark Knight Returns” and “Wolverine”.

NUMBER SEVEN GLYNIS “WEIN” OLIVER (1949 - PRESENT)

Glynis Oliver, also credited as Glynis Wein is an artist who has worked as a colorist in the comics industry. For several years, she was married to Len Wein. She returned to her maiden name in 1985. She was born in England.

She has been recognized for her work in the industry with a Shazam Award for Best Colorist in 1973.

Glynis has an extensive career in comics, but the reason she made it into this list was her work on “Uncanny X-Men”, more specifically “the Dark Pheonix Saga” and the “Wolverine” mini-series.

NUMBER SIX BRAD ANDERSON

Not to mistake with the creator of Marmaduke.

Brad Anderson is a cartoonist and comic book colourist. He began his career in 1998 working for DC Comics in 1998 on the title Batman: Legends of the Dark Knight. Ever since he has worked on countless comics for different publishers including Dark Horse Comics and Marvel Comics

Most recently, he has been working on titles like Batman Eternal, Green Lantern, Justice League and Convergence.

Little is known about Brad’s life (odd considering the popularity of the material he is part of). He made it into this list thanks to his work on the “Witching Hour” crossover and also on the Shazam Origin that run on the Justice League book.

NUMBER FIVE ANTHONY TOLLIN (1952 - PRESENT)

Anthony Tollin is a professional comic book colourist. Tollin started working for DC Comics in the early 70s as an assistant to Tatjana Wood in the coloring department. In the early 80s, he became the main colourist for DC, doing almost all of the covers of the publications of the company at the time. Tollin worked for DC until the early 90s, when he started working for other publishers.

He is in this list thanks to his work on “Vigilante”, “Ambush Bug” and “Crisis on Infinite Earths”.

NUMBER FOUR ADRIENNE ROY (1953 - 2010)

Adrienne Roy (June 28, 1953 – December 14, 2010) was a comic book color artist who worked mostly for DC Comics. She was largely responsible for coloring the Batman line (Batman and Detective Comics) throughout the 1980s and early 1990s.

Roy attended an art school in Wayne, New Jersey, where she studied painting techniques. Her first contact with comics was through collecting Marvel Comics' Tomb of Dracula, The Sub-Mariner and Conan the Barbarian. Roy's first work as a comics colorist was assisting her husband Anthony Tollin, who worked for DC Comics at the times. But it was long-time colorist Jack Adler who would give her the first job at DC: the cover of DC Special Series #8 (featuring the Batman, Deadman and Sgt. Rock team-up). Adler and Sol Harrison (who was also a colorist) were considered by Roy herself as her mentors and both trained her on coloring during her first years at DC.

Roy was also responsible for the coloring on many other titles during that time period: The New Teen Titans, The Warlord, Weird War Tales and Madame Xanadu. Nevertheless, she is predominantly known for her work on the Batman books: Batman, Detective Comics, Batman: Shadow of the Bat, Batman: Gotham Knights, and Robin.

When computerized colors arrived to comics, the assignments to classic colorists decreased a lot. By 2000 Roy was largely out of work, despite training herself on the computer. Roy spent her last days battling cancer and died in Austin, Texas, at age 57 on December 14, 2010.

Adrienne Roy illustrated most of the comics of my childhood, and her “fuchsia” skies are pretty much her trademark on many Batman comics. She made it into this list thanks to her work on “New Teen Titans”, “Batman and the Outsiders”, Tales of the Teen Titans”, “The Judas Contract”, “Batman” and “Detective Comics”.

NUMBER THREE TERRY AUSTIN (1952 - PRESENT)

Terry Kevin Austin (born August 23, 1952) is an American comics artist, working primarily as an inker. He is best known for his work embellishing John Byrne's pencils on Uncanny X-Men from 1977 to 1981.

Austin grew up in Detroit, Michigan, and attended Wayne State University. He started inking comics as an assistant to Dick Giordano and Neal Adams, doing "Crusty Bunker" work for Adams' Continuity Associates. Austin came to prominence in 1976–1977, inking Marshall Rogers' pencils on a celebrated run of Batman stories for DC Comics' Detective Comics collaborating with writer Steve Englehart. During this same period, Austin inked Michael Netzer (Nasser) on DC's Martian Manhunter in Adventure Comics and Green Arrow/Black Canary in World's Finest Comics, as well as Al Milgrom on Marvel Comics' Captain Marvel. He later teamed with Rogers again on Marvel's Doctor Strange.

In 1977, Austin and penciler John Byrne became the new art team on Uncanny X-Men. With writer Chris Claremont they produced a series of stories — particularly "The Dark Phoenix Saga" — which elevated the title into the top-selling American comic book.

Austin resides near Poughkeepsie, New York, where he plays volleyball and gets together often with fellow comics veteran Fred Hembeck.

Terry is a very popular inker that has almost no presence online (only through Fred Hembeck). He made it into this list mostly for his work on “Camelot 3000″ and “Uncanny X-Men”, most specifically, “The Dark Phoenix” saga.

NUMBER TWO DICK GIORDANO (1932 - 2010)

Richard Joseph "Dick" Giordano (July 20, 1932 – March 27, 2010) was an American comics artist and editor whose career included introducing Charlton Comics' "Action Heroes" stable of superheroes and serving as executive editor of DC Comics.

Dick Giordano, an only child, was born in New York City on July 20, 1932, in the borough of Manhattan to Josephine Labruzzi and Graziano "Jack" Giordano. He attended the School of Industrial Art.

Beginning as a freelance artist at Charlton Comics in 1952, Giordano contributed artwork to dozens of the company's comics, including such Western titles as Annie Oakley, Billy the Kid, and Wyatt Earp, the war comic Fightin' Army, and scores of covers.

Giordano's artwork from Charlton's Strange Suspense Stories was used as inspiration for artist Roy Lichtenstein's 1965/1966 Brushstroke series, including Brushstroke, Big Painting No. 6, Little Big Painting and Yellow and Green Brushstrokes.

By the mid-1960s a Charlton veteran, Giordano rose to executive editor, succeeding Pat Masulli, by 1965. As an editor, he made his first mark in the industry, overseeing Charlton's revamping of its few existing superheroes and having his artists and writers create new such characters for what he called the company's "Action Hero" line. Many of these artists included new talent Giordano brought on board, including Jim Aparo, Dennis O'Neil, and Steve Skeates.

DC Comics vice president Irwin Donenfeld hired Giordano as an editor in April 1968, at the suggestion of Steve Ditko, with Giordano bringing over to DC some of the creators he had nurtured at Charlton. Giordano was given several titles such as Teen Titans, Aquaman and Young Love, but none of DC's major series. He launched the horror comics series The Witching Hour in March 1969, and the Western series All-Star Western vol. 2 in September 1970.

He continued to freelance for DC as a penciler and inker. As an artist, Giordano was best known as an inker. His inking was particularly associated with the pencils of Neal Adams, for their run in the early 1970s on the titles Batman and Green Lantern/Green Arrow. Comics historian Les Daniels observed that "The influential Adams style moved comics closer to illustration than cartooning, and he brought a menacing mood to Batman's adventures that was augmented by Dick Giordano's dark, brooding inks."

By 1971, frustrated by what he felt was a lack of editorial opportunities, Giordano had left DC to partner with fellow artist Neal Adams for their Continuity Associates studios, which served as an art packager for comic book publishers, including such companies as Giordano's former employer Charlton Comics, Marvel Comics, and the one-shot Big Apple Comix. Several comics artists began their careers at Continuity and many were mentored by Giordano during their time there.

He had a brief run as penciler of the Wonder Woman series which included a two-issue story in issues #202–203 (October and December 1972) written by science-fiction author Samuel R. Delany. Giordano drew several backup stories in Action Comics featuring the Human Target character as well as the martial arts feature "Sons of the Tiger" in Marvel's black-and-white comics magazine The Deadly Hands of Kung Fu. He was a frequent artist on Batman and Detective Comics and he and writer Denny O'Neil created the Batman supporting character Leslie Thompkins in the story "There Is No Hope in Crime Alley" in Detective Comics #457 (March 1976). Giordano inked the large-format, first DC/Marvel intercompany crossover, Superman vs. the Amazing Spider-Man (1976), over the pencils of Ross Andru. Giordano inked Adams on the one-shot Superman vs. Muhammad Ali in 1978. Throughout the late 1970s and the early 1980s, Ross Andru and Giordano were DC's primary cover artists, providing cover artwork for the Superman titles as well as covers for many of the other comics in the DC line at that time.

In 1980, DC publisher Jenette Kahn brought Giordano back to DC. Initially the editor of the Batman titles, Giordano was named the company's new managing editor in 1981, and promoted to vice president/executive editor in 1983, a position he held until 1993. DC Comics writer and executive Paul Levitz observed in 2010 that "Giordano held the respect of talent as one of their own, and kept their affection with his reassuring calm and warmth."

Giordano provided art for several anniversary issues of key DC titles. He and television writer Alan Brennert crafted the story "To Kill a Legend" in Detective Comics #500 (March 1981). Giordano was one of the artists on the double-sized Justice League of America #200 (March 1982) as well as Wonder Woman #300 (Feb. 1983) He was promoted to Vice-President/Executive Editor in 1984, and with Kahn and Levitz, oversaw the relaunch of all of DC's major characters with the Crisis on Infinite Earths limited series in 1985. This was followed by Frank Miller's Batman: The Dark Knight Returns and Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons' Watchmen in 1986. Giordano inked several major projects during this time such as George Pérez's pencils on Crisis on Infinite Earths and John Byrne's pencils on The Man of Steel and Action Comics, though during this period he always employed assistants for inking backgrounds, filling in large black areas, and making final erasures.

From 1983 to 1987, Giordano wrote a monthly column published in DC titles called "Meanwhile..." which much like Marvel's "Bullpen Bulletins" featured news and information about the company and its creators. Unlike "Bullpen Bulletins," which was characterized by an ironic, over-hyped tone, Giordano's columns ". . . were written in a relatively sober, absolutely friendly voice, like a friend of your father's you particularly liked and didn't mind sitting down to listen to." Giordano closed each "Meanwhile..." column with the characteristic words, "Thank you and good afternoon."

The Vertigo imprint was launched in early 1993 built upon the success several titles edited by Karen Berger including Swamp Thing, Hellblazer, Sandman, Doom Patrol, Animal Man, and Shade, the Changing Man. Giordano inked six issues of The Sandman in 1991-1993.

Beginning in 1987, Giordano was in the middle of an industry-wide debate about the comics industry, ratings systems, and creators' rights. Veteran writers Mike Friedrich, Steven Grant, and Roger Slifer all cited Giordano in particular for his hard-line stance on behalf of DC. This debate led in part to the 1988 drafting of the Creator's Bill of Rights.

Giordano left DC in 1993, and still did the occasional inking job, but later returned to freelancing full-time. In 1994 Giordano illustrated a graphic novel adaptation of the novel Modesty Blaise released by DC Comics, with creator/writer Peter O'Donnell. He was one of the many artists who contributed to the Superman: The Wedding Album one-shot in 1996 wherein the title character married Lois Lane.

In 2002, Giordano launched the short-lived Future Comics with writer David Michelinie and artist Bob Layton. Since 2002, Giordano had drawn several issues of The Phantom published in Europe and Australia. In 2004, Giordano and writer Roy Thomas completed an adaptation of Bram Stoker's Dracula novel. They had begun the project in 1974 but the cancellation of many of Marvel's black and white magazines put it into limbo. The finished story was collected into a hardcover edition in 2005 and a colorized hardcover edition in 2010. In 2005, F+W Publications Inc. published the instructional art book Drawing Comics with Dick Giordano, which he wrote and illustrated. His last mainstream work appeared in Jonah Hex vol. 2, #51 (March 2010) for which he drew the interior art and the cover. His last comics work was pencilling and editing Baron Five, published by Hound Comics.

Giordano married the former Marie Trapani, sister of fellow comics artist Sal Trapani, on April 17, 1955. She died from complications of her second stomach cancer surgery in February 1993. They had three children together; Lisa, Dawn, and Richard Jr. Marie's death, combined with Giordano's increasing hearing loss, hastened his decision to retire from DC. Following the death of his wife, Giordano split time between homes in Florida and Connecticut. In 1995, he moved to Palm Coast, Florida, where he continued to work full-time freelancing, until his death. Giordano had suffered from lymphoma and later from leukemia, secondary to the chemotherapy. He died on March 27, 2010 due to complications of pneumonia.

Giordano served as mentor or inspiration to a generation of inkers, including Terry Austin, Mike DeCarlo, and Bob Layton.

Shortly after Giordano's death in 2010, The Hero Initiative created "The Dick Giordano Humanitarian of the Year Award", which debuted at the 2010 Harvey Awards ceremony held at the Baltimore Comic-Con. The award recognizes one person in comics each year who demonstrates particular generosity and integrity in support of the overall comic book community.

Giordano received recognition in the industry for his work, including the Alley Award for Best Editor in 1969. He won the Shazam Award for Best Inker (Dramatic Division) in 1970 (for Green Lantern), 1971, 1973 (for Justice League of America), and 1974. He won the 1971 Goethe Award for "Favorite Pro Editor." Giordano received an Inkpot Award in 1981. In 2009 he was awarded the Inkwell Awards Joe Sinnott Hall of Fame Award.

My favorite anecdote of Dick Giordano, is from Karen Berger (from the book “The British Invasion: Alan Moore, Neil Gaiman and Grant Morrison”) about Grant Morrison’s thick Glaswegian accent.

“When I first met Grant, I was with Dick Giordano and Jenette Khan. I had set up appointments pretty much every hour with different writers and artists in this suite that we had rented to meet people, and Grant was the last person we saw on one of the days. And Dick Giordano was very hard of hearing... he wore two hearing aids and when Grant came in, Grant started talking and [Giordano] just took off his hearing aids and left the room. He couldn’t even read his lips.”

Dick Giordano is a legend, but he is in this list because of his work on “Camelot 3000″, “Tales of the Teen Titans”, “Vigilante” and “Crisis on Infinite Earths”.

NUMBER ONE TATJANA WOOD (1926 - PRESENT)

Tatjana Wood (née Tatjana Weintraub, in Darmstadt, Germany) is an American artist and comic book colorist.

Tatjana's father was Jewish, and her mother was Christian. During World War II, she and her brother, Karl Joachim Weintraub, were sent to an international Quaker boarding school in the Netherlands. Gaining Dutch citizenship was not easy, so after World War II, the Quakers arranged for the two to travel to New York City in 1947. Karl went on to the University of Chicago, while Tatjana stayed in New York, attending the Traphagen School of Fashion. In 1949, she met Wally Wood, and they married August 28, 1950.

During the 1950s and 1960s, she sometimes made uncredited contributions to Wood's artwork. One of the stories she worked on was "Carl Akeley" in EC Comics' Two-Fisted Tales #41 (February–March 1955). She did a number of animal drawings for that story.

Later, beginning in 1969, she did extensive work for DC Comics as a comic book colorist. She was the main colorist for DC's covers from 1973 through the mid-1980s. Wood did coloring work on the interiors of comics as well, including Grant Morrison's acclaimed run on Animal Man, Alan Moore's issues of Swamp Thing, and Camelot 3000. She won the Shazam Award for Best Colorist in 1971 and 1974. Tatjana has had no significant credits in the comics industry since 2003.

She is also a skilled dressmaker and weaver, who has crafted theatrical costumes and pictorial loom tapestries.

Tatjana's brother Karl died March 25, 2004. He was a distinguished scholar at the University of Chicago and the author of two books, Visions of Culture: Voltaire-Guizot-Burckhardt-Lamprecht-Huizinga-Ortega y Gassett (1966) and The Value of the Individual: Self and Circumstance in Autobiography (1978).

Tatjana Wood has been mostly uncredited for most of her career. It is only thanks to interviews and reprints that we know of her work on many essential books, like the original Swamp Thing volume.

She made it into this list because of her work on “Swamp Thing” and “Camelot 3000″.

There were more artists that didn’t make it to the top 10, but were considered: Bob Oksner, Bruce D. Patterson, Tom Ziuko, Tom McCraw, Alfredo Alcala, Mike DeCarlo, Joe Rubinstein, Klaus Janson, Malcolm Jones III, Norm Breyfogle (for both lists) and Steve Oliff.

Being an inker or a colorist in comics can be an ungrateful job. But they mean a lot to certain artists. It is not the same to be inked by Romeo Tanghal or by Mike Royer. And because most of these artists had permanent contracts with their publishers, they ended up growing up in the industry. To all of them, thanks for the comics!
