Transformers One is such a huge breath of fresh air that it made me realize just how incredibly frustrated I’ve been with this IP.
Cause how are you going to make world building, lore and character SO fucking good and then REFUSES to use them in anything even remotely mainstream?!
Listen, I love Good vs Evil narratives, I actually think we could use some more of them nowadays, but it just DOESN’T WORK with Transformers.
Like, how are you gonna look at Megatron, who was born a slave and lived his early years under the control of a people that, in some iterations, physically disfigured them from birth to make them more manageable. Megatron, who led a rebellion whose aim was (usually) equality. Megatron, who sow that the ones in power didn’t care and decided to never again allow anyone but himself to have power over them. Megatron, who became a heartless warlord so that no one could ever enslave them again. Megatron, who led the decepticons to war for thousands of years because they deserved to live on their home planet and he knew that the autobots will never accept them as equals.
How do you look at all of that and go
[Pure Evil]
I mean, don’t get me wrong, Megatron is by no means a good person, he is a WARLORD. What I’m saying is that shit’s more complicated than just good and evil.
And don’t even get me started on the fact that Optimus Prime is considered THE good guy when he’s literally on the side of the oppressor. Like, he literally knows that the sistem if fucked and still usually waits around for shit to get better on it’s one even though he 100% has the power and influence to change things.
(Once again, I am a fan of transformers, I am just picking and choosing universes and characteristics that best illustrate my point that this characters are morally gray)
And all of that is not even talking about the absolutely INCREDIBLE relationship between the two.
Just that fact that they were so close that even after over 9000 years of war “Brother (by Optimus Prime)” is still somehow third in Megaton’s “Also known as” is interesting enough, but their reasons for being enemies?
Megatron’s “I respect you more than I knew I was capable of. I look at you and I see everything I once thought the world to be. You bring out the child in me I thought was dead and buried. I cannot bring myself to truly hate a race that fostered someone like you. And that is why I have to kill you.” alone.
But next to Optimuses “You have chosen the wrong path. You have caused the death of thousands. You have betrayed me. You need to be stopped. But I can’t bring myself to do it. To be the one to break all that you’ve built. To be the one to seal the quote marks around your message.” is fucking legendary.
This is legitimately one only good reason to have a 9000 year long war.
And the fact that NONE of that has been properly explored should be declared a crime against humanity!
Also, seeing as “present time” Megatron is a sassy bitch, the ending of the movie implies that he had a betrayed gay ruled by hate-read to diva whore pipeline, witch is real as fuck.

yknow AI art has ruined an entire genre of painting to me, i saw one of those smooth anime-realism pieces and immidiately thought ''ugh, AI art'' until i noticed it was posted by an established deviantart user 6 years ago. like ive never been a huge fan of that genre but it looks like a pretty difficult style to master and i feel bad for the artists who specialized in anime-realism only to have their entire market jacked by people typing keywords into midjourney.
#like. yall know the exact kind of smooth shaded anime realism i mean right.#its SO prevelant in ai art to the point that i end up always end up assuming that style is ai more often than not

Hero.
#legend of zelda#echoes of wisdom#loz eow#loz#zelda#tri#josh art tag#been meaning to do a full on stained glass drawing for like 2 years now lol#ive had ideas but none really stuck with me until this one#and the reason why is cuz this one was more of a scene! it wasnt just a normal drawing made to look like stained glass#it had what is supposed to be a literal window with someone standing before it looking up at it#also i find the timing of this drawing funny#cuz i just recently changed my shading style to resemble stained glass even more so than usual#cuz for years now ive gottem comments saying#my style reminds people of stained glass#and sometimes i see it sometimes i dont#cuz my shading style changes and sometimes it really did look glass like#but other times i dont think it did?? but i still got those comments??#maybe its like the way i do lineart or block out shapes?#idk but recently when i was growing tired of my previous coloring style i remembered those comments#and decided to lean into it#but now just a little while after that#here i am doing a legit stained glass illustration lol

Ok but tate gotta have this: color chart.
#i mean no shade#that's why i never complain#he gets colors right and is probably down to beg#and he's probably a reason why some year certain brands dare and some don't#he do that i guess when he doesn't kick stuff or something dlsldldldlg

St. Hilarion's ghost story
#payneland#edwin x charles#dead boy detectives#dbda#pre canon angst brought to you by the weirdo who's always drawing post canon fluff#something about oral tradition and old timey slang#i took quite a lot of decisions with this one so buckle up#first of all the female ghost keeps edwin's eyes color because there's still some truth to the legend#the background is the same shade of green to reference hell#just like it is when he's having his flashback#alive charles is dressed all in black because he's not a happy boy#i also made it so that he grips his clothes when his mate punches him even as it's intended to be friendly#because well#these people will end up killing him so it's less friendly when you remember THAT#charles obviously doesn't mean anything by the mary ann comment#he doesn't know the slang meaning and just blurted out what he remembered from the legend#he will find out reach some conclussions and go punch a wall about it probably#about edwin tho his escape is still very recent and he didn't expect this#but even so early on he knows charles means no harm and allows himself to be comforted#it wasn't intentional but hey edwin shruggin off charles' touch is a good parallel to that one scene after charles “kills” the night nurse

Columbo and the Knight (1984)
put me in the universe where Columbo ran through the 1980s and had a crossover episode with Knight Rider. I think they deserved it, and I am not just saying that because they're my two favorite Old Shows. @telebeast wrote a little fanfic blurb about it and I HAD to visualize it into a comic (which is also the longest comic I have finished thus far at five pages...), so writing credit goes to them.
Autism W!
#columbo#knight rider#art#michael knight#kitt#comic#highlight reel#crossover#telebeast#there are two small easter eggs here. can you find them. they were somehow not Entirely lost when i resized these for the public#this is what i mean when i say I Draw And It's Everyone Else's Problem. look at my INCREDIBLY niche crossover comic boy#if the knight rider fandom has like 12 people in it. how many of y'all have seen columbo#this comic is for like 4 people and me and phoenix are already two of them#niche is my specialty lets be real. weird niche obscure shit and ships nobody's paid attention to yet#not to suggest this is ship art. columbo has his wife and michael has his car lmfao#stylizing real people is EXTREMELY hard btw sorry for when they get off model. its partly a 'better imperfect than never finished' situatio#cant tell you how much i redrew some of these panels. weeps#this took me 2 weeks but i think i thumbnailed it all in may and the ideas been rollin around in my head since march#is anybody good at editing. please edit michael and columbo into an image together like its a screenshot. NOT generated. edited.#it would be so cool#ive drawn columbo a lot but i haven't drawn a lot of michaels. i was learning things about his outfit AS I WAS DOING THE DAMN#COLORS ON THIS. all the lines done. it was too late to change anything. i did all the lines and colored page by page#i realized my mistakes on like page 3. 1 and 2 were already done. it was Too Late.#imagine it though. them working a case together. switching between the more serious tone of columbo vs the goofier#action antics of michael and kitt. columbo being so impressed by Modern Technology. there's more i could say but phoenix may write#more of this crossover and i don't want to spoil it :'3#there's opportunity here though i swear. there's gold to be dug.#i like how kitt gets shading but columbo's junker peugeot doesn't. kitt looked wrong without any. columbo's car is matte and dirty#i also applied effects to this to make it look a little film-grainy and VHS like. some CRT TV vibes#the only question left is. did they put knight rider into columbo; or columbo into knight rider 🤔

I guess DARE wasn’t a thing in Goron City
#saw someone call zelda the gorons drug dealer and I couldnt get the image of her in a trenchcoat peddling marbled rock roast to children#like one of those shady guys selling wristwatches in cartoons out of my head#anyway that’s where this came from#trying to figure out comics and shit. not my strong suit so sorry if its rough.#figuring out an optimal level of detail is hard :( first I’m like oh i’ll just leave it black and white and then i’m like maybe ill add#color and then i’m like well now it needs shading and THEN it needs lighting and THEN IT NEEDS A BACKGROUND AND THEN IT NEE#anyway i should. probably stop rambling bye#loz#tears of the kingdom#totk#totk spoilers#i mean sorta. not huge spoilers. slight spoilers for goron arc I guess#zelda#myart

I know it's a comedy manga, but the ww manga probably has one of my favorite manga interpretations of Link. Mainly because he feels accurate to his games. He's quiet, he can talk, but he mostly just communicates his thoughts through his actions and body language. He's also just a silly little guy.
#wind waker#loz ww#the legend of zelda#my favorite autism creature#this isnt any shade towards the other manga links it's hard making a whole character out of a silent protagonist and its def a lot easier i#this style of manga#i mean i love the fs manga#this is just the only one for me that nails his character on the head especially for this iteration#i look at him and go “yeah thats link in the game”#theres a part where Medli is waiting for Link to come over as part of the main quest and you just know hes goofing off#hes probably doing the mail minigame
