“Please, my darling Inej, treasure of my heart, won’t you do me the honour of aquiring me a new hat?” - Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo

Drew the QUEEN herself Inej Ghafa from The Six of Crows and the Shadow and Bone TV Series. Had a lot of fun with this one, originally just a pose practice this turned into a full art piece! I created it part traditionally, with promarker pen to draw and colour Inej, and then I used digital layering for the background!

Hope you like it!

Yuzuka Rei Interview (Nikkei Woman Feb 2020 - Yuzuka Rei Special Issue)

A long Interview Rei did with “Nikkei Woman” on her (then) upcoming debut as Top Star in February 2020. The magazine is aimed at career women, so the interview asks questions about the pressures of Takarazuka, her career path, as well as a “this or that” quickfire section on her daily habits. I have included scans of the photo shoot too please excuse the washi tape I have stuck on one of them

Enjoy!

[chiropteracupola]

going over the year’s work to try and figure out maybe one of those art year-in-review graphics, here’s some thoughts:

- apparently I didn’t really draw a lot in march

- didn’t draw a lot in july but what’s there is all really good

- drew so much in the early fall and it’s all good.  there was most certainly other stuff that I was avoiding in order to do that.

- of my treasure island stuff, I still draw smollett the most but the actual big polished pieces mostly don’t have him in them, which is narratively satisfying in the most unfortunate way. 

- could have sworn I did an actual finished polished hornblower drawing but apparently not???

- it isn’t until may that it seems that I really figure out that backgrounds are a real thing

- all the horses look like weird dogs

One of the couple of noticeable Latinx stars operating in big-budget smash hits, the star of Netflixs splashy brand-new sci-fi thriller Extinction discuss his time in Hollywood

Michael Pea is right at the profession point where a character star burglarize full-fledged film fame, where an oh-it's-that-guy graduates to home name status.

The star has actually logged over 20 years of evenly functional operate in movies of extremely differing quality, from straight-faced ensemble looks in Oscar competitors like Crash, American Hustle and The Martian to comical turns in other individuals's star cars, such as Tower Heist and 30 Minutes or Less. Just recently, nevertheless, he's relocated to the fore as a casual everyman type quickly cast in jobs with a more comprehensive reach. He was the ace in the hole of Ant-Man and went back to take a lot more scenes in the just recently launched follow up, however today brought him the main signpost of mainstream success in the movie market: a leading function in a big-budget, effects-heavy sci-fi impressive. He stars in Netflix's Extinction as a guy haunted by repeating headaches of an alien attack, up until one day, his visions end up being a violent truth. (Let's simply state that not all is as it appears, and leave it at that.)

Perhaps the trick to Pea's success is that his easygoing-dude schtick is no act; he likes socializing with his kid more than hobnobbing with A-list elites and appears completely comfy breaking out a Bob Dylan quote at a minute's notification. Throughout a significant call, the ascendant star used his ideas on pirate dreams, molding a character around a huge twist, and the trials he dealt with as a Latino star aiming to acquire a grip in the biz.

Do you think in extraterrestrial life, out there amongst the stars?

Aw, I do not know, dude! It's tough to see anything that you're not a part of. Possibly there is. Exactly what do you believe?

I believe if there are aliens, they're not going to be intruders. They'll be great, like ET or David Bowie in The Man Who Fell to Earth.

It's like this: as huge of a universe we have, are we not the aliens? Our galaxy is substantial enough that there should be vital force, whatever you wish to call them, someplace out there.

Your character cannot shake this headache of an alien intrusion-- do you have any unusual repeating dreams?

Yeah, you understand exactly what: for ages, I had this dream that I was on a pirate ship, and I 'd get halved. I had no concept why that kept turning up. In the dream, getting halve never ever harms, I 'd keep battling. There's absolutely nothing in there based upon the truth of exactly what frightens me, however it kept returning.

They state these sorts of things are symbolic?

The only idea I have is that it's about looking for treasure, that I may be trying to find something. I do not understand exactly what that 'd be.

Extinction was pulled from the schedule right prior to its release and offered from Universal to Netflix . How 'd you get that news, and how 'd you take it?

I felt in one's bones that when we stopped shooting, with all the CGI, I believed that there was no other way we would make the preliminary release date. There was a great deal of unique results things to be included post-production. I've been on adequate sets to understand that doing CGI right takes a great deal of effort and time. Pressing a release date is constantly challenging, since you cannot simply put it on whatever weekend you feel like. You do not desire it too near another sci-fi film.

I heard Netflix has billions of dollars in acquisitions, and they're truly into sci-fi. Take a look at Bright, which I believe was going to go to Warner Brothers till Netflix outbid them, and after that it ended up being a hit for them. I believe David Ayer is dealing with Bright sequel today. I enjoy a great deal of sci-fi on Netflix. There's something type of futuristic about getting brand-new premium motion pictures right on your tv.

Without providing excessive away-- there's a huge twist in the last act -- was it tough to stabilize how your character is seen prior to the huge expose and after that after?

Yeah, guy, I understand exactly what you indicate. Checking out the script initially, I didn't actually understand how I was going to do it. I enjoy that 3rd act, that's actually exactly what drew me to the script. With motion pictures, I can typically see the ending coming, and with this one, I simply could not see it. There are ideas to how it'll end, however the author covered them up so well that I wasn't able to recognize them. I'm that irritating person, constantly informing my partner exactly what's going to take place throughout films. She's like: "Come on! Be peaceful!" That's why me and my boy see a great deal of films together, we're the exact same method.

I observed you've done some voice operate in kids's films recently. Have you been trying to find chances to provide your kid something to enjoy?

Yeah, precisely. I see a great deal of films with my kid, when he makes fun of another person's character or jokes, I wish to belong of that. I get a bit envious! It feels great to be a part of something my boy's enjoying.

Something your child most likely will not be seeing-- you're going to be on the brand-new season of Narcos. Can you offer us the rundown on your character?

I play Kiki Camarena, who's based upon a real-life figure. He was a DEA representative in the mid-80s, when the DEA remained in its baby phases. He heads out to Mexico to attempt to make a distinction, and he sees things capping, stress forming that would ultimately become the cartel system.

Italian American groups often challenge gangster motion pictures on the premises that they perpetuate unfavorable stereotypes. Exists any comparable with Latino Americans and narco fiction?

No, not that I understand of. This is based upon a real story, so that keeps everything quite basic.

I seem like there's an absence of noticeable Latino and Latina skill in the sort of blockbuster-scaled films like Ant-Man that you've burglarized. Do you get that sense yourself, and does it develop any pressure to be an agent for the neighborhood?

The thing is, I began acting about 23 years back, and it was really hard to obtain an audition, not to mention a part. There are these things called "breakdowns" where they provide character descriptions and summary who can audition for them. I still have a few of these, where the very first 10 would be Caucasian, so just Caucasians might audition for them.

That's legal?

Twenty-three years earlier, that's simply the method it was. It would be around the 12th character down the line where it was open to other ethnic backgrounds, which's all I needed to go on. It was hard for me to break through, due to the fact that 9 times out of 10, it was some gangster or whatever. Now, however, I do not have such a cynical perspective about all of it. The manner in which I'm seeing it, things are altering and progressing all the time. I'm happy I can be a part of that. I wish to continue altering the status quo. It's excellent to desire modification, however just if you're prepared to be part of that modification. Be active, rather of simply discussing it. I attempt not to grumble. Rather, I simply continue finding fascinating jobs.

We've got Jennifer Lopez, Penelope Cruz, Javier Bardem, Guillermo del Toro, Diego Luna-- I have no idea the number of-- actually turning up through business. Is the circumstance best? No. It's like Bob Dylan stated, the times they are a-changin'. We got ta stay proactive.

Superhero motion pictures stay the greatest draw today; I see your Ant-Man function as the entry to this uppermost level of the market. Having discussed showing up as a more youthful star recently, do you get a sense of viewpoint about your profession?

Not actually. I see a great deal of good friends that have actually had great spells, they're hot for a particular time, then it disappears for them. The home entertainment company is all based on whether individuals like your things or not. Ant-Man was one character, however the concern is constantly exactly what follows that. For me, I'm simply aiming to do great so that I might continue doing great. I believe more about watching out for directors and manufacturers with great product, like, are they taking a look at me? Will they employ me? Ask me this once again in 5 or 6 years, we'll see where I am.

Extinction is readily available on Netflix from 27 July
