Dude what was happening in the writer's room when they made the Across the Spiderverse screenplay this is so unserious

[what-the-cap-dude]

Hobie would approve (if they weren't a massive cooperation that is)

[lavender-luminarie]

i've read through both the scripts and it's so nutty that they actually put some of those lines in there 😭 here's a few more (because there are many):

that's the working title...

and some ghostflower bits because i miss them

hi! i really love your sambucky art, and i love your comics! is it alright to ask about your process? as in, what programs you use, and if you plan to print something, how do you handle bleed etc.? if this is an annoying question feel free to ignore it!

hey thanks!!! no this is a great question because a lot of people (me included) have to figure this shit out on their own lol.

so a lot of the zine formatting/assembly knowledge i have comes from playing around w my friends in art school when we all had free access to adobe products. there might be other programs for this kind of thing? But i use adobe photoshop to draw and adobe indesign to format the books, and (adobe) acrobat to print... its a little pricey if ur not a full time artist who writes this stuff off on ur taxes but. honestly some times i just pay for a month of indesign and just try to get all of the zine formatting out of the way in a single month but. sometimes im slow and i be paying for the whole year. whatever.

I'm printing a lot of these smaller books at home so im pretty free to move things around and bleed isn't like a huuuge consideration. still i put a standard 1p0 bleed on everything and when drawing comics i try to keep everything important in the text-safe area. ALSO I drew the pages at A5 size but i'm printing them at half-letter (Well, full letter but then i fold the paper. obviously). and the i cut off the top and bottom discrepancy between the ratios and ofc trim the sides... YKW I'M BAD AT DESCRIBING THIS i will take pictures.

so the page is kind of set up like this in indesign. I probably don't need to crop that much off the outside edge of the page it's not like my printer does full-bleed anyways BUT i kinda dont care so. also these 2 pages arent facing each other in the actual comic but i didnt want to spoil pages i havent posted LOL. here's the actual page arrangement in thumbnails

make sure your pages are in multiples of 4 for the saddle-stitch format! you might know that already but. anyways i export this as a pdf to print it. you can print it from indesign but honestly i find printing from acrobat to be more reliable. might just be my printer but ive talked to professional printing shops abt this and they mostly seem to print pdfs from acrobat also so. ive decided to just go with that. anyways here's what the printing set-up looks like.

make sure to select booklet printing and check double sided... i like the preview section because you know instantly if the formatting is working the first page will be your front cover and back cover right to left. the pages come out the way you'd expect from a home printer lol. the middle spread faces up and you can just take that stack out the printer and fold it and it should be all in order.

then its time for the trusty bone folder to fold all the pages together and the trusty long arm stapler to keep em that way and the trusty guillotine which gets rid of those white margins (also i was testing blue cardstock please ignore)

HOPE THIS HELPS!!!?

Mimir is top tier side character

[zwintrew]

BONUS:

Who came up with the idea of Mimir using a spoon to turn over the pages?….. I love it!

Atreus or Kratos having to pass a spoon to Mimir so that he can just turn over the pages and read in peace is a picture in my head that is more funny than it should be.

Here are some of the animated gifs Santa Monica Studios have been putting out for God of War: Ragnarök

Sorry for the quality, tumblr only allows for 10MB gifs & these are quick & dirty rips straight from twitter which were already not great quality to start.

I'm assuming these are made to be used, so go right ahead & save & use however you like

Animator credits I could find:

Kratos making a heartshape & Kratos swearing about Valkyries by Dennis Pena, aka @/Boltfinger on twitter

Wolf paw slap by Grace Pan, one of the animators
