Fate Hill: working sketch for "A Leap of Fate"

The process who led to the enclosed sketch suggested that I think a little curiosity about other artists process: if they do the way I got to this also, or if its just an individual quirk of mine.

ORIGINAL TEXT

So: Do any, some, all, none, or other of you avatars out there sit there with G.I.M.P., (or whatever your graphics manipulation program may be) for hours on end obsessively going back and forth from layer to layer to layer, changing from normal to dissolve to burn to overlay to … etc. etc. etc., in the middle of maybe a day long binge of making similarly fiddly tweaks and saving frequent sketch JPGs (or whatever) whenever something looks cool; and then sort through and edit tomorrow or whenever the adrenaline crash sets in? Or am I just nuts?

1) Oh sure, Squirrel, don't worry about it, I don't know an artist who DOESN'T do that … 2) Yeah, i do that too. Isn't it nice to be part of the cool little clique that knows the secret, and WTF are you doing blabbing it all over Tumblr? 3) No, Dan o' Shanter, hate to break it to ya, but yr just plain nuts 4) What did you … Look. Who ever you are, whatever you want. I have not eaten in three weeks. I have not bathed in five months, I had to think for five minutes before I remembered that the sound I was hearing coming, apparently, from your mouth (gotta make a note of that, let;s see, note to self, have brains coming out of mouth in the form of words in Leap of Fate series … hah?) … you still here? anyway, I've got brains coming out of my mouth right now but I am closing in on an abso Flucking Lute Flucking MASTERFluckingPIECE and I think. I. Have. Almost. Got. It. If. I. Don't. Breathe. Too. Hard. And scare it. Away. Come back and talk to me next year sometime, huh? Be a goo hooman?.

POLL THE WAY TUMBLR WANTS ME TO DO IT IN THEIR LITTLE TICKY TACKY SQUARE BOXES FOR FOUR-CORNERED POLYHEDRAL PEGS

(damn, they won't hardly let you put any length at all in your poll answers, how the hell is a guy supposed to get any nuance or humour or even STYLE POINTS around here?! Tumblr scorecard gets a -1.)

The worst kind of complaining about any deviation from the direct japanese imo is when they insist that by leaving stuff like monster or evil group names just romanized and not translated it's "giving the same experience as watching it in the original japanese" and. No??? The japanese kids watching these shows are gonna get what they mean, english viewers won't. Like I'm sure most people watching the official Carranger tl aren't aware the villain group name is a joke cuz it's just romanized

it's definitely a case-by-case basis thing for me. nearly EVERYTHING in toku (toei toku especially) has some form of wordplay going on, from the heroes, the villains, and all of their associated gadgets and gizmos. not a translator myself of course, but after seeing so many examples over the years, i think a translator has to weigh whether or not it's important for the viewer to understand the original naming scheme for that particular context

for example, imagination station translating every monster name in abaranger into an english equivalent (being a combination of three things, so yatsudenwani becomes telefatsidile = telephone + fatsi plant + crocodile) feels essential because it's one of the main aspects of the show's comedy, and without it you miss the gag every single episode. but hikari senshi subbing dairen-oh as "Great Unification Lord" feels like a bit of an overstep despite being technically correct, and left me more confused than it added context when i watched dairanger back in the day

carranger's a really good example too, because as soon as you read "Bykergang" you instantly pick up on the joke, the same way a lot of japanese speakers will instantly pick up on what "Bowzock" is supposed to play off of. i know when cina was watching carranger she switched from shout factory to the fansubs partway through and felt the comedy landed a lot better after the change, and that's vital for a show like carranger

This Is Just To Say (1938) and The Red Wheelbarrow (1943) by William Carlos Williams, and In a Station of the Metro (1913) by Ezra Pound

In Episode 75, Rachel brings three short and sweet poems to the table! And of course, Griffin is super normal about it.

[Rachel finishes reading This Is Just To Say]

Griffin: It‘s really nice. Is it supposed to be like deeply sexual?

Rachel: [laughs] I don‘t think so! [...] So, William Carlos Williams grew up in Rutherford, New Jersey, and he was a doctor for more than forty years! The poem, The Red Wheelbarrow, he wrote when he was 60 years old. [...] -he used to write his little poems on little prescription pads in between clients.

Griffin: I like that! So he‘d be like "Here's 10 ccs of 'I ate your plums'". Deal with it.

This particular segment is so freaking enjoyable, and not just because of the jokes and goofs; Rachel's insight on the Imagist movement and Ezra Pound's influence on William are so interesting!

If you’re gonna listen to just one of Rachel's segments, please let it be this one, and please stick around until the end for an unexpected outro, which you can listen to over here: Gonna Need Those Plums Back, Though, from 27:50-37:00.

The Onyx Cloak

Similar in design to the more common voidsheen and voidscale cloaks, this unique artefact is composed of a metallic mesh that absorbs light, energy, and kinetic force. Shrouded in its folds, Jenetia Krole stalks the battlefield obscured from the sight of her foes and protected from their wrath, seeking the perfect moment to strike down those marked by the Emperor for death.
