"80s yuppie murders prostitutes and has existential crises' in between racist and homophobic tirades"
Getting friends in to musicals is hard because when they ask what it’s about you have to be like “15 year olds having sex” or “a plant from outer space that takes over the world” or “teenagers killing people for fun” or “Alexander Hamilton”

IT'S MY MOSTLY ANTICIPATED GAME REMAKE, AND I NEED IT NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW
Old drawing of Frankenstein’s monster / Caliban / John Clare from Penny Dreadful
Illustration I started forever ago of my Sara Ryder from Andromeda. Was finally able to finish it since being done with school.
Inspired by Havarl, one of my favorite new planets from the game, and the ending credits song “Under Stars” by Aurora.
Kinetic Typography movie finished!
Might go back in the future to fix some nit picky stuff. For the most part I’m happy with how it turned out. I was happy with the “bounce” effects on some of the words towards the end. I feel like this is something Adult Swim would play during their breaks in between shows.
Some more hand drawn kinetic type inspo for my project.
Obviously will not be going this route but I couldn’t resist. This is one of the funniest shows ever, and I feel like this scene perfectly captures Charlie’s wacky fucking character. I do like the illustration, even if it does seem strangely children’s book-like for It’s Always Sunny.
Anyway. Something I’d like to keep in mind for future projects, maybe if I ever do short animations for some OCs. If that ever happens.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Shadow of the Colossus
Dusk, Sunset colors are quickly becoming more of my aesthetic.
I feel like everyone has there own place they go to in their heads, or not even a specific place for everyone, just a type of environment. For me that’s just a wide open field where the sky looks crystal clear like this. Sometimes I’m by myself. Sometimes there is a party going on in the distance, with background noise. Sometimes there’s silence, sometimes there’s certain songs playing in my head. It’s inspiring for me, and the colors and emotions this type of environment give me I take and apply to some more serious comic panels I’m working on.
Started playing this game over the weekend. I have no smart sounding words at the ready to say how beautiful and awesome I think it looks.
The environments are huge, realistic, and super dynamic. It’s awesome to play an RPG, and when I cross through inhabited areas, seeing the NPCs have actual lives. Walking down the roads, having their own conversations, working, drinking, fighting, etc. The gameplay is fun, there’s so much still to discover and see. I love when you’re still in the early parts of a game, and you still have all of this cool shit to look forward to.

Some inspiration for kinetic type. I like how smoothly everything is animated. Probably won’t get to make it that smooth but some of the basic effects I’m going to look into recreating in the next couple of days. I like the ripple the S has going on, I might do that when I have all of the text up on screen .
I’m still looking for examples of bouncing text, but I’m obviously keeping my options open for what it ends up turning out as.
Figured it would be fun to animate this :)
Progress shot for my kinetic type project. Definitely taking a humorous turn with the quotes. Inspired by an certain early South Park episode.
I’m quickly discovering null objects are my friend, and no longer a bane to my existence, like they were 6 months ago when I had to animate a walk cycle for my animation class.
I’m really just trying to have some fun with this last project, but it’s hard to tear away from nitpicky design choices, like dividing the bg picture into 2 layers to make it more dimensional and making the text fade out at strategic points. Or making the text pop up in timing with the music, which holy crap is that annoying to get that just right. But so far so good. I’m excited to get into some other effects for the text in the latter part of the video.
Final photo for my Physical Type assignment. It was hard to get a photo where at least some of the box isn’t showing, so I had to add in a lot of shadows and bleeding out the painting to cover it up. I like how the text turned out, it was kind of lucky that the plastic sheet ended up folding back a little to give it more of a dimensional feel.
Started working on our next project, before I can finally finish the diorama *sigh*
We’re doing a 10-15 second kinetic type video, utilizing the After Effects program and all of its effects and capabilities. As you all can see, I am taking some inspiration from Bill Wurtz for a test run of the program I did in class today.
I want to have some fun with this project, and just be goofy. I’m about a week and a half from being done with college forever, and I’d like to go out on a little but of a wild note.
More ideas for my physical type project. I think the lighting here is really interesting, but I still want to shoot for a more natural light source. I like the shadows that are being created in the third pic. Gives the whole thing a sense of depth, which I think is something I’m missing from mine right now.
Might try to angle the text going into the diorama to get more of a sense of scale, and play with camera angles. Probably just need to implement some simple camera tricks to create effects within the same vein as this.
Some prototype photos for my diorama photos. Trying to get lighting down and figure out the transparency situation. I think I’d like to go with natural lighting but I need to work with it a little to get the painting to come through a bit more. I like how the type turned out and I feel good with the quote. It’s just a matter of having to take a good photograph now.
Trying to get some lighting ideas for my diorama project for my typography class. I’m probably going to have to end up using natural lighting, as I think that would give it the best effect anyway. But i also have some small LED and flashlights I can use if nothing else. Anything that can give it a nice shadow effect will be nice really.
Diorama hecho acuario.
Another movie I saw recently that falls into my “cozy horror” genre. It’s a French horror film about a vegetarian veterinary student who discovers some hidden instincts within herself during a hazing process at her university. The imagery is no where near as colorful as in Suspiria, but it is given on a much more realistic level, hitting me with more anxiety than Suspiria did. Much of the early movie contain scenes with a certain kind of nature that I am very drawn to in storytelling: otherwise normal scenarios...but there’s just something a little bit off.
The poster design here is also very illustrative and cool, and I think it really does capture the nature of the film.

I re-watched one of my old favorites recently. Suspiria falls into this category that I like to refer to as “cozy horror”, or horror that is more dependent on shocking imagery and building suspense than loud action. As one of Argento’s early films, you can see his trademark use of bright and various colors throughout various scenes, which is a trait I’ve begun using in some of my experimental comics.
This movie brings a sense of fantasy which I’m very drawn to. It is essentially introducing darkness and violence into an otherwise fairy tale world, or what we would consider to be a fairy tale world in contemporary society. The imagery is beautiful and macabre at the same time.
Suspiria (1977) dir. Dario Argento.
I love this dude.
Wayne White takes old paintings from the thrift store and paints 3D text within to create a new space. I love the humor that is prevalent in a lot of his work and I would definitely love to have some of these hanging around my house.
I really like how integrated into the environment the text is, like here how some of it is hidden behind the trees. Like you feel if you went to this spot in real life you’d expect to find this text there as a giant statue.
