trigunned the hades or hadesed the trigun (id in alt)
#trigun#trigun maximum#nicholas d wolfwood#vash the stampede#meryl stryfe#milly thompson#millions knives#ruporas art#type of shit ive been on lately bc ive been playing an obsessive amount of hades 2 lmfao⌠ofc imstead of drawing fansrt for hades#i channel that energy into trigun?đ SEE.. the thing is. i am ALWAYS thinking about a trigun game⌠like an action story game#it is rotating in my brain 24/7 and now after 7billion years i finally pick up a video game#and the inspiration sparked. obviously this is just a mere mimic of an existing media... but im thinking about the plot of max now#executed differently between mediums⌠webbing a new retelling of the original story as game mechanics allows you - thinking of the#new roles the characters would take. like wolfwood here is not Constantly by vashâs side but he will show up once a run to clear out an#encounter. shows up seldomly at home base to make gifting difficult... an existing companion and still journeys on his own. for more#relations options merylmilly will also have occasions where they separate so vash can speak to them individually - the gungho are not bosse#most of them get the roles of giving âboonsâ i think.. BUT ANYWAY thats me reimagining trigun into hades. now imagining trigun into an#ORIGINAL video game.... ough... ohhh....guhh... I WANT IT SO BAD!!!!!!!!#this was just a fun exercise... im thinking about doing more but i think i shouldactually draw some hades 2 fanart first

As cameras becomes more normalized (Sarah Bernhardt encouraging it, grifters on the rise, young artists using it), I wanna express how I will never turn to it because it fundamentally bores me to my core. There is no reason for me to want to use cameras because I will never want to give up my autonomy in creating art. I never want to become reliant on an inhuman object for expression, least of all if that object is created and controlled by manufacturing companies. I paint not because I want a painting but because I love the process of painting. So even in a future where everyoneâs accepted it, Iâm never gonna sway on this.
if i have to explain to you that using a camera to take a picture is not the same as using generative ai to generate an image then you are a fucking moron.
#ask me#anon#no more patience for this#i've heard this for the past 2 years#âan object created and controlled by companiesâ anon the company cannot barge into your home and take your camera away#or randomly change how it works on a whim. you OWN the camera that's the whole POINT#the entire point of a camera is that i can control it and my body to produce art. photography is one of the most PHYSICAL forms of artmakin#you have to communicate with your space and subjects and be conscious of your position in a physical world.#that's what makes a camera a tool. generative ai (if used wholesale) is not a tool because it's not an implement that helps you#do a task. it just does the task for you. you wouldn't call a microwave a âtoolâ#but most importantly a camera captures a REPRESENTATION of reality. it captures a specific irreproducible moment and all its data#read Roland Barthes: Studium & Punctum#generative ai creates an algorithmic IMITATION of reality. it isn't truth. it's the average of truths.#while conceptually that's interesting (if we wanna get into media theory) but that alone should tell you why a camera and ai aren't the sam#ai is incomparable to all previous mediums of art because no medium has ever solely relied on generative automation for its creation#no medium of art has also been so thoroughly constructed to be merged into online digital surveillance capitalism#so reliant on the collection and commodification of personal information for production#if you think using a camera is âautomationâ you have worms in your brain and you need to see a doctor#if you continue to deny that ai is an apparatus of tech capitalism and is being weaponized against you the consumer you're delusional#the fact that SO many tumblr lefists are ready to defend ai while talking about smashing the surveillance state is baffling to me#and their defense is always âwell i don't engage in systems that would make me vulnerable to ai so if you own an apple phone that's on youâ#you aren't a communist you're just self-centered

you guys like this right
#cherry.png#curly mouthwashing#captain curly#mouthwashing#i wanted to take another crack at a rehabilitation design for him#i wanna think that the only reason his left eye survived is that he might have instinctively blocked his face with his arms upon impact#so his left is a tiny bit less cooked to perfection than his right#well done vs medium#his lips are reconstructed from whatever skin they could salvage from his back#eyelid doesn't close all the way for the same reason#bro is a frequent user of eyedrops#think whatever you want abt his hair i couldnt just leave my man bald

A fierce duel commences!
#poorly drawn mdzs#mdzs#wei wuxian#lan wangji#game dev diary#This was a test to figure out busts (art style & methodology as well as implementation & uploading)!#Game progress is going well! It is not the most showy content at the moment though....but soon!#I have made more spritesheets + wrote a 20 page script for the beginning of the game + lots of mechanical stuff.#OOH and our main town has a map and I've hammered out most of the major character designs!#(I have a comic I will share later this week about how character design talk in a team setting has been going so far.)#This gif is to share a little bit of whimsy and joy with you all. Because we are having so much fun!#Fanart like this is great for practicing a new medium! Also very few people would care to see my custom windowskins.#(This gif is pre-custom windowskins sadly. Next game dev update will have them though!)#Thank you all for being here at the start of my journey B*)#By the way yeah I do think WWX would be a menace when it comes to taking his medication.#WWX's toxic masculinity trait is thinking he's invincible and doesn't need medication.#He would get worms and go 'Nah my immune system will handle it.' Which. No. Please take worms seriously.#LWJ on the other hand would be the model medication taker. He's got a schedule. A weekly organizer. He's a doctor's dream patient.

hey you. watching the game awards. wondering âwhy did the cast of alan wake 2 do a full on fucking musical number?â. go play/watch someone play alan wake 2 immediately. this is not a request this is an urgent command
#tga#the game awards#this game takes advantage of the Video Game Medium in ways iâve never seen before and#more people should know and appreciate it#and also the musical cutaways rule. but thatâs secondary#mp#500#1k#remedyverse

If there's anyone more out of touch with webcomic culture than Webtoons, it's their investors who they keep pulling the wool over in their earnings calls đđ
#remember: it's always ethical to bully webtoons online <3#webtoon critical#I'm sure Webtoons' CEO and team are purely focusing on the term âwebcomicsâ through the lens of Webtoons the Company(tm)#and yeah sure WT has def been making some big moves to expand globally#but it's a BOLD MOVE to try and take credit for the global influence of webcomics as a medium and subculture#esp when so many of the most influential webcomics out there predate Webtoons by DECADES#sit down and humble yourselves fr

all the vivziepop critical posts thinking they're making a good point shitting on Sinsmas while in reality it just exposes their absolutely nonexistent media literacy.
"Stolas is a bad father, a bad lover, selfish and he doesn't try enough"
Girl, have you ever heard of a character arc? We are in mf season two for a show that will be 5 seasons. We're not even at the midpoint. Three doritos ago, people were shitting on Blitzø for his emotional unavailability and lack of commitment, and now that his arc has progressed, he's everyone's favorite. How about you wait until the story is done to draw your conclusions? I know. Revolutionary concept.
Alternatively, if it makes you so angry that you want to shit yourself, you could just. Stop watching. And let everyone else enjoy in peace.
#helluva boss#vivziepop critical#don't get me started on the absolutely braindead takes on Millie's cliffhanger#or Stolas's relationship with Octavia#smh#stolas#blitzo#stolitz#to be real there were SO many great things in this ep that no one is talking about#like can we just appreciate blitzo's growth for one second?#at the start of the season blitzo would have pushed stolas away for feeling unworthy and responsible for the fact he can't see his daughter#now he is there for him. he reassures him. and even though he hasn't said the L word yet itnis very visible in everything he does#this season was focused on blitzo's growth and coming to accept he is in love and worthy of it#i am sure the next will focus on stolas and learning accountability and responsibility for his actions#and frame that in his relationship with blitzo and octavia#and on the side it might focus on blitzo learning to be a partner and beginning to work for that family he wants (with stolas and the girls)#he might become the medium that intervenes with octavia thus building a relationship with his step daughter#and also loona. loona might become a bigger piece in the rescue-octavia arc

Lackadaisy Enrichment
#in our enclosures!!#video linked as source; which i'm glad to see already has a million views and is trending. That's Right#lackadaisy#WHICH i have been reading since at least '07 when i was thirteen my god b/c this animation is based on the ongoing webcomic#like does its influence show up Directly in some Discrete way i can point to in my art? not very easily probably. And Yet.#the inspiration....i wasn't able to be Regularly Only for at least another year / art done Nonprofessionally Online was novel to me#like wow ppl can make & post fanart of w/e they love huh....didn't know webcomics were a thing & i never really read that many since but.#good god the quality of Lackadaisy at its onset is like this is superb?? this person putting in all their talent and effort???#and Then you get years & years more art and i don't even know what superlatives to throw out abt its quality as it evolves. obsessed w/it..#if i see a new lackadaisy comic page i Will be acting out. obviously this animation is a delight & also stunning. and fascinating to also#juxtapose as a Translation / Interpretation of the comic in a different medium & standalone snippet of Story#and that we're not even quite there in the comic timeline; Taking Notes abt character info we get distilledly here....genuinely love like#take it back to '07 i'm like oh boy can't wait for the dream team to assemble. then a decade later when it did? Oh Boy. that is payoff lol#namely hooray for stitches and mudbug at the field office for every passing gangster. killing one marigold associate but not the other#which seems like a promising start to shootouts w/the other dream team triumvirate. i adore that in canon so far mordecai freckle & rocky#have met but only over a nice brunch. re: all intentions anyways. anyways i'm like Gifs Must Be Made while i'm also so riled afresh abt the#comic that i've been sooo hype for for over fifteen yrs now babeyyy Deservedly. i've done a couple of rereads & ought to do another....#For Interest it'd probably take a few sittings to catch up from the start but there is much to be engaged over....this ongoing story that's#historical fiction prohibition bootlegging cats with plenty of focus on characters & several Mysteries. which i'm better at parsing now lol#like one of the more recent rereads like Oh Of Course x (probably) accidentally killed his y & z took the fall & that's a binding secret...#Not [oh of course] abt the circumstances surrounding a's death & how b & c were involved. nor the ''what's marigold's damage'' mystery#which is great. love to not know things. love that we can readily follow all the emergent drama everyone's wading in nowadays. hell yeah#anyways admire my organized approach to gifs here. four shots each Expressions Atmosphere Action Groupshots#sure might've muddled through gifmaking for this anyways but fr being a huge lackadaisy comic enjoyer for now most of my life helps#and its very Overall Inspiration like. just really getting the [you can really just draw stuff out here] going. fr the art's detail & skill#and that enrichment like i'm gonna have a great time following this. And I Have#you don't expect a crowdfunded indie animation in the mix back then but hell yeah fellas#SIGH ok removing a 4th gif that's broken / not displayed despite reuploading then entirely remaking it. if it's a bug i'll try again later

the scene in the rwrb movie where alex is on the phone with henry which manifests itself AS henry in the flesh on his bed, but his voice switches from sounding like itâs coming from a human in the room to sounding like a phone speaker as he says âiâm hanging up nowâ ⌠immersing you in the conversation as alex is immersed in the conversation and the reminder pulls you out of that by changing his voice âŚ. exemplifying the distance between them and how henry feels like he could be both right next to alex and an ocean away âŚ.. that was so fucking cool.
#i am a world class complainer but there are a lot of stylistic & directing choices i genuinely loved#i love love love it when a movie takes advantage of the medium and plays into the unreality#red white and royal blue

There is a lot about re: Fantaszio that I adore and that has captivated me but one thing I keep coming back to is the game over screen.
A tattered font reading "Fantasy is dead" splashed over a black screen with a soft voice whispering to you a different line asking in various ways, if you accept this outcome. "Do you yield to reality?" "Is fantasy truly just fiction after all?" "Will your tale end here?"
And then you sit there and ask yourself that question too. Do you give up? Do you surrender and move on and let the fantasy die? Do you accept bitter horrible reality, accept that to dream is wishful thinking, accept that it ends here?
And as you do you think of Hulkenberg standing in the crypt because she is a knight and she will not surrender when there is a duty to be done. You think of Strohl in that mine screaming defiance because even if his House is in ruins, and his people are gone, and his lands are ashes he is still a noble, and must seek justice for those who gave him their fealty. You think of Will standing on that tower small and alone in a country that hates everything about him and choosing to keep fighting because it's the right thing to do, even if it means dying.
And then you hit continue because fantasy, dreams, ideals are only dead when you stop believing in them.
#metaphor: refantazio#m:rf#metaphor refantazio#leon strohl#Eiselin Hulkenberg#Will of Elda#this is the exact thing i was talking about last year with lies of p#video games taking advantage of the unique things about their medium to emphasize their themes and ideas#*foams at the mouth*#m:rf meta
