- Summer Daze -
My first and ironically last post of 2018. Lots of things went in an unexpected direction this year. I had possibly the worst summer of my life, yet there are some key moments that I will cherish forever, each being represented here as a small blender animation. Despite everything, for the first time since years I can genuinly say that I’m still in a really good place right now.
I hope 2019 has great things in store for all of you!
Wonderful 2D animation project by the amasing Sergio Pablos !
This is fucking insane. The amount of extra matte layers/flats/compositing going on here is just unreal. This is all 2D, there’s no 3D geometry used at all.
Might recognize Sergio’s work if you’re a fan of Treasure Planet too, he was responsible for Dr. Doppler
this is so gorgeous????
This sort of thing fascinates and amuses me; it’s also worth noting as “one of those things” when fantasy world-building.
In Latin all emotions exist in the plural with the exception of fear.
in mandarin jidan (pinyin, not character) means egg, but is also a big insult. it isn’t really that remarkable BUT it reminded me of when i studied macbeth and there’s a line:
murderer: what, you egg?
*stabs him*
Hmm sunrise pretty
you can just slip that sky in as the background of any sci-fi/fantasy world and your shit would look amazing. like I’m sure that’s a water tower in front of the sun but fuck me if it doesn’t look like a partial eclipse.
It’s because.. it is a partial eclipse
...wait, when was this taken
This morning

Omg guys….Mario will become a Tumblr user….that’s so awesomesauce….
One thing that’s driving me wild about this is that they’re trying to “modernize” something that’s proven to be pretty timeless. Like, the Super Mario games take place in a unique fantasy world that has proven to flexible enough to adapt to the tastes of players over nearly 4 decades, and Hollywood always seems to think the best approach when given an IP like that is to bring it to the modern day so they can make pop culture references that will be dated upon release.
Fuck this movie.

jfc I hate my work hours. I slept right the fuck through it
It was barely visible unless you were in the north east US/Canada (or the Arctic circle I guess) so most ppl only saw a sliver of it as the sun was rising
Gomenasai, my name is Mulder-Sama.
I’m a 27 year old American Otaku (Anime fan for you gaijins). I draw Anime and Manga on my tablet, and spend my days perfecting my art and playing superior Japanese games. (Disgaea, Final Fantasy, Persona series)
I train with my Katana every day, this superior weapon can cut clean through steel because it is folded over a thousand times, and is vastly superior to any other weapon on earth. I earned my sword license two years ago, and I have been getting better every day.
I speak Japanese fluently, both Kanji and the Osaka dialect, and I write fluently as well. I know everything about Japanese history and their bushido code, which I follow 100%
When I get my Japanese visa, I am moving to Tokyo to attend a prestigious High School to learn more about their magnificent culture. I hope I can become an animator for Studio Ghibli or a game designer!
I own several kimonos, which I wear around town. I want to get used to wearing them before I move to Japan, so I can fit in easier. I bow to my elders and seniors and speak Japanese as often as I can, but rarely does anyone manage to respond.
Wish me luck in Japan!

It literally just occurred to me watching this that the head tracking thing birds do keeps their heads from bobbling around while they fly.
Of course you had a gif of a guy shaking a chicken.
if you enjoy fantasy art though, definitely follow that link; todd lockwood is fucking amazing.
Cool things that happen in Yu-Gi-Oh GX:
1. A teenager who has partial dinosaur DNA due to the fact that one of his legs bones was replaced by a dinosaur bone turns into a bandana-wearing talking spectral dinosaur and saves the world by flying into space and
smashing a Laser Cannon Of Doom with his semi-existent tail with the help
of the soul of a crayon drawing of a cockatoo-headed superhero that his bff drew when he was a little kid which was then shot into space in a rocket by a 20 year old billionaire CEO in an attempt to open a channel of communication between humans and aliens.
2. Do you really need a #2
