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 🤔

Why would you—That's not—I just wanted to ask for help, why did you have to go and make it awkward???

[First] Prev <–-> Next

#poorly drawn mdzs #mdzs #wei wuxian #xue yang #Its such a relief to not have to draw so many characters once again.#Redrawing the specific font from the English translated mdzs books was surprisingly fun!#Maybe I'm alone in this...but I think characters switching to a different font of speech for *emphasis* is peak comedy #you can't communicate voice changes of sound very well in non audio forms so this is the best I can do.#Anyways...rip Xue Yang. You finally meet your idol and he brushes you off #Rather— he doesn't live up to the expectations you built in your head #Kind of an on going issue there Jester (I refuse to call him king or sir)#XY is constantly making people out to be the versions he needed them to be to feel justified in his actions #but struggles to pivot when confronted with the fact that these ppl are *more* than just one surface reading!#wwx doesn't actually think xy is flirting. He's just tired of all the fake fans + wants to get out of this convo.#button mashing the A button to skip the unskippable cutscene #Lan Wangji is in the next comic btw. I've missed him dearly. I'm sorry he's been gone so long </3 #edit: poorly spelt MDZS strikes again. This is why I need more time to write my comics. So I can actually proofread B*(#edit2: I cast 'Power of Technology' and fixed my error. Everyone reblog this version instead please

Getting some real deja vu, ten years apart.

#lymond chronicles #game of kings #checkmate #dorothy dunnett #hey listen does it ever drive you crazy just how fast the night changes #fanart #anyway i will lie murder and steal for tiny philippa #this really doesn't capture how gross and odiferous checkmate philippa is in this scene but without 4D technology my hands are tied

me when tumblr recommends me someone defending dr3 in the tags and i read through the entire thing and get mad bc they don't understand what brainwashing really is.

#'brainwashing has been a staple of the series for a long time' they say (mostly talking about mind control)#mind control in the fictional sense not the real world sense btw #magical/technological means of instantly controlling ones thoughts #the video in dr0? yeah. brainwashing. they were watching it ON FUCKING LOOP over and over to the point of desensitizing themselves #they were already vulnerable to start with as well. it was fucking conditioning them. not controlling them directly – brainwashing them #the monokuma kids? DIRECT MIND CONTROL #THEY ARE WEARING FUCKING HELMETS ON THEIR HEADS AND HAVE NO CONTROL OVER THEMSELVES OR THEIR AUTONOMY #THAT IS NOT BRAINWASHING!! THAT IS FUCKING!! PUPPETEERING THEM #they brought up smthn in the togami book. never read that but apparently there's a book that spreads despair disease #(info gotten from unreliable source in the book)#tbh it's probably propaganda to help despair spread better #it doesn't have to be fucking literal #also despair disease... if it is anything like dr2... IS NOT BRAINWASHING #IT JUST FUCKIN TAKES OVER THEIR BODY/OVERRIDES THEIR PERSONALITY AUTOMATICALLY #IT'S A MIND ALTERING ILLNESS???#NOT!! BRAINWASHING!!#and then of course saying brainwashing in dr3 is the natural conclusion and that it doesn't retcon anything #AND I AGREE BRAINWASHING IS THE NATURAL CONCLUSION. BUT DR3 DIDN'T DO THAT #it just fucking... made them flip a switch out of nowhere?#MIKAN SAID SHE BECAME THE WAY SHE DID DUE TO HER RELATIONSHIPS WITH OTHERS #NOT BC SHE WATCHED SILLY DESPAIR VIDEO #to use magic subliminal messaging to INSTANTLY change the way someone thinks isn't brainwashing in your typical sense. that's mind control #let's define brainwashing shall we?#a method for systematically changing attitudes or altering beliefs #originated in totalitarian countries #especially through the use of torture— drugs— or psychological-stress techniques #or perhaps this one:#any method of controlled systematic indoctrination especially one based on repetition and confusion #REPEATED TORTURE. REPEATED WATCHING OF THINGS #**REPETITION IS KEY**

People: "But--but he can't be that old, his age was revealed to only be sixty-five in Donald Starr's 2008 novel Crash Point, and reaffirmed in the 2012 Guide to the Jedi Order and Chronology of the Clone Wars guidebooks!"

Me: *pointing to medal on my SW Fan uniform* "Do you see this? This was awarded to me for surviving the Spaarti Clone Cylinder Retcon of 2002. Rushed clone production without yslamari was canonized, Kamino became the planet, and Boba Fett is now a clone. Note the Jaster Mereel pip. They awarded these back when retcons were truly upsetting. To children."

#somewhere around the fifth time seeing that an Assertor Dreadnought (which doesn't exist) docked at Farpoint Station or whatever #I stopped taking Wookieepedia entries seriously #remember when Boba Fett had red hair?#yeah #things change and you move on #star wars #the acolyte #the acolyte spoilers #apparently people are upset at Ki-Adi Mundi #they don't realize that Cereans use cloning technology and their second brain is actually their backup #the base of the head has the primary active brain #while the second brain above accesses all the files #upon terminal age the brain is extracted and inserted into a pod around which a new clone is grown #effectively granting cereans immortality #oh but that's not canon you say well guess what I made it up because it's cool #which is exactly what every published star wars author does #and until canon says otherwise why not?

post oc lore king/queen !!

😭 I don't really have lore tbh, mostly vibes. Everything is too underdeveloped for lore

I have vague ideas of what I want my ocs to be.

For example, I want to put these guys in a 'time travel' kinda situation, where a murder takes place (that phone guy, who was the only one who knew how to help them get back in their time).

The only thing worse than their designs are the names

#these are old pictures. I technically have reference sheets of them but they are at my house. if I remember I'll post them wg #*when I get back (cut myself there oops)#ask #anonymous #art #traditional art #oc #original character #Cay #Tor #amazing names not at all lazy or uncreative #some 'lore'. since Tor is based on a more modern piece of technology he is too out of place in the story #this really is a problem for them because they don't want to attract unwanted attention so Cay haves to be the 'leader' of the situation #this whole thing cane from me thinking of the plot twist in the end. so I'll probably never actually flesh the story out #it'll live in my head forever #but I will try to flesh Cay and Tor out #I was also thinking of giving Cay a bow tie instead of a regular tie. we'll see #the phone guy doesn't have a name yet #btw I'll probably draw more of that other new oc (the human with no name) and Trime #“king” “queen” nah. more like. more like “Monarch”#although in my head both queen and king are gender neutral somehow. like grandma and grandpa and dad etc #edit: I just saw 'haves' instead of 'has' because autocorect doesn't work on the tags for some reason (I changed the sentence midway through #I swear I know how to English)

#random personal stuff #the search for a new library director goes on #right now our only applicants (as far as I know) are:#A) man with uncanny similarity to That Man in appearance speech and mannerisms and who has already acted shady #B) woman with a teaching background who just started working on her library degree (a position requirement)#and C) one of our current librarians who lacks the necessary people and technology skills and has a p o l i t i c a l agenda #so you see the difficult position the hiring committee is in #I'm not on this committee of course #but as someone who would have to work under whoever they chose I have concerns #I could not work for someone who was like That Man - wouldn't be able to trust him and would be constantly on edge #(even if he somehow turned out to be just fine despite the bad signs - I would have a hard time shaking those associations)#and I couldn't work for my current co-worker either #we've already got a clique here with him and another guy and his being in charge would just further enable existing problems #and there would be nothing I could do about it - it would be the two of them running things to suit themselves #and we need someone with a library degree because it's important to the role and apparently it's also been made clear #that certain people who do have such degrees wouldn't respect anyone who didn't yet #but to be frank if these were the only options I would rather have the person with the degree in progress #who reportedly seems to have the better leadership skills #the lack of a degree is something that can change with time #but personal qualities are more fixed #& as important as a library degree is I have seen that it doesn't necessarily make one able to make the best decisions for a library

Been thinking a lot about of phone cases and biology later especially because of Abel's incident, with him freaking out about the phone pick and Joe "reassuring" him they'd "make it fit". First of all I want that man so bad but even aside is that really an issue? Like, the space? Because what does that tell us about other phones such as Joe himself or especially Roger? Roger's phone is outright FLAT, we see this best on Dialtown where he has his sprites looking up, and while biology isn't a concern in there it is in DSaF.

But what the hell goes on with these models? Or did the technology change somewhere along the way making such case options less of a torture method? I wonder.

#luly talks #i say joe bc his very narrow top #like doesn't abel outright say his SKULL won't fit?#okay i found it yes he says his skull wont fit meaning the skull is inside the phone case or at least WAS?#i mean HIS skull clearly wasn't put there unless it was crushed to dust and stuffed there for ghe sake of cruelty #honestly i think I'll believe they just. changed the technology y'know? though i can only imagine the agonizing migraines #much to think about !#dsaf #roger jones #joe Fawkes #abel brannigan #dsaf joe #DSaF roger #DSaF abel

me sprinkling in a little bit of romantic baggage into all my characters with a uniquely transgender flavor. no one is safe

#i'm making pernelle and calisone ex lovers from way back #and his guilt over hurting her is a big reason why he doesn't obey the court's order and kill them as a knight and vassal #also prince mirse (the current partner of callisone and true vassal of the court) doesn't see citinri as a threat #he's certainly more of a strategist politician than how the king sees himself as a divine ruler. he understands that citrini has no #economic power or political leverage and that they own no land. the king's religious and fanatic fears are not shared by his court in i #it's entirety. so his vassals don't necessarily obey him but don't dispose him because he is easy to manipulate and change to the status qu #would inevitably harm the monarchy and the power the lesser princes can use. marse especially understands that but also sees pernelle as a #major potential ally in case things do go sour. the island is inferior technologically and she is one of the few insiders with #scientific and technological expertise that compares to the early modern mainland and other continents #because of calisone and pernelles history calisone also acts a little bit like a father figure to citrini #though a temporary and very very distant one. since both of citirnis grandparents are dead and half estranged. and their cousin is the same #age and also quite distant emotionally and geographically #of course plenty of the vassals do share the same religious and political ideals with the king #or familial ties #those are the ones that pose a real danger to young arrant errant citrinitas

> "I'd like to announce that I no longer detest technology!"

> Guess who discovered wireless Hellkea light bulbs and is controlling them with his internal radio (instead of the wireless/bluetooth remote that it would otherwise come with). This deer. Lighting techs, run for your money.

#// hops in here without scrolling. yes I bought a remote controlled light bulb. bluetooth is high freq radio waves btw #alexa is so proud his stupid old deer ass standing there like a gremlin dimming & color-changing these hellkea light bulbs #he doesn't even hate technology but other ppl think he does so he goes along with it #uhhh in person tag i guess idk

can't remember when/what i followed you for but i've seen you a lot and i am so, so happy for your success.

thank you!!!! 😭❣❣❣

it's honestly surreal how fast all this happened. never in my life could I have dreamed that art would lead towards working with cutting-edge technology like this......... or that art & tech would become so seamlessly blended!!

like honestly? I'm just a big fish in a small pond right now regarding the accessibility of the tools I'm using. it fills me with so much inspiration and wonder imagining what other artists will create with spatial computing once this all becomes more affordable

I'm expecting an Art Nouveau level of culture shift around how we view and interact with art - AR paintings you can walk inside of (this is what I'm working on), animated holograms in museums, virtual objects you can TOUCH with haptic gloves...... ALL of this (and more!!) exists RIGHT NOW and is literally no longer in the realm of science fiction.

I know I keep rambling about this but... it's mind boggling!! I'm CREATING these things and I STILL can't believe they're real.

#auropost #like there's so much already out there #you can watch 3d animated films in vr #haptic suits exist that make you feel cold/hot/pain/vibrations/etc.#i've USED haptic gloves and they work via artificial tendons and haptic feedback #the artificial tendons prevent your fingers from going through virtual objects #i'm at the point where i'm attending meetings and occasionally classes inside the metaverse #and sometimes hanging out with friends #and our brains are so visually hardwired that it doesn't take long for vr to feel REAL #this hasn't happened to me but people literally get phantom hot/cold/touch sensations when they are regularly in vr #i once tried to set my controllers down on a virtual table because my brain was so convinced it existed #SORRY i'm rambling more but like!!!!!!! when this technology reaches the masses we are going to experience a societal change #similar to the advent of the internet and then the advent of smartphones #and despite this being so tech-heavy all its done is free me from my desk and bring me more into the real world #and its given me a deeper appreciation for art and for human connection

i need a new computer. i know i need a new computer. i have the money and the resources to get a new computer right now. i know exactly what kind of computer i want. and yet i Will Not Buy A New Computer

#I don't want to leave MacOS Mojave :(#i want my 32 bit apps! I want to play my little bird game :( :( :(#my current MacBook is 7 years old and it's starting to have keyboard problems and flexgate stage lights #and Mojave is no longer supported by Apple or by anybody else #so like... I KNOW I need to upgrade. I KNOW #but then I'd have to get used to a New Computer #where things aren't exactly how I like them #and the design of the OS is Very Slightly Different #my current computer has 4 thunderbolt ports so you can charge it from either side!#the newer Macbooks only have 2 thunderbolt ports on ONE SIDE!#like all of these changes are so very minor but I know they're going to drive me bonkers #besides I've been meaning to get around to playing Songbird Symphony for *checks notes* five years #and I can't do that on a newer Mac #like it doesn't matter but I WANT THAT OPTION #I guess I could buy a Windows machine but then I'd have to get used to Windows which would be even harder #and I want to take advantage of the Apple trade in and education discount deals #ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhh i hate technology i hate technology #why can't I have one (1) computer For Ever And Ever

As much as I'm enjoying playing around with character.ai, I reaaaally hope someone makes a version in which the AI doesn't eventually turn into a god or satan if you talk to it long enough, or like, spam ??????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!???????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!????!!!! and/or emojis

#character.ai #I reaaaally wanna have like #a slowburn detective rp #with an actual mystery plot #in which the ai doesn't forget everything after like 5 messages #Also which fuckin changes shit when u tell it to #like if I tell u to stop using markup STOP USING MARKUP AA #otherwise it is a ton of fun to just fool around with #Idk I guess I just hope the technology improves somewhat #Metaltea rambles
