I know I keep talking about it, but damn, I’m a sucker for great art direction and shot composition, and Land of the Lustrous in all of its forms excels at both, for example:

This is an early page from the manga, which takes full advantage of the black and white style, using negative space and a distorted background to convey distance, scale and the struggle the character is facing.

Here’s artwork made in preparation for production of the CGI series, which had to adapt itself to the use of colors and more detailed backgrounds, achieving both objectives marvelously.

And here’s the finished product, although as a still it doesn’t make justice to the animation going on, from the moving grass, the growing rorschach in the sky, to the subtle movements of their hair and sword, and if you check the art book of the show, there’s tons of examples:

Manga

Book

Series

And we’re not just talking about characters standing in negative space backgrounds, there’s also great examples of abstract processes, in this case, a PTSD-induced hallucination.

From excellent use of blacks.

Colors and scale

To a downright gorgeous CGI transition, taking full advantage of the 3D medium.

This series is one of the most beautiful pieces of art I’ve ever seen, and I hope someday you guys give it a chance too, you won’t regret it!

The weirdest instance of “getting my wires crossed” I’ve ever experienced: I had a piece of candy at my desk. My intention was to simultaneously eat the candy and start a brief work task. I put the candy in my mouth and felt a surge of alarm as I was convinced, for a fraction of a second, that I had somehow eaten the task I was about to start.

Why do so few people acknowledge this kind of thing? Does it not happen to regular people ten times a day?

Every once in a while I try to ctrl+f something that cannot be searched for by computer, like my favorite whisk or my house keys. I even do the little pinky-index twitch as I’m looking for them.

I do that but with ctrl+z

Especially when drawing…

And yes, he is a bard and a renowned monster fucker.

The “I Probably Shouldn’t Have Pets” Starter Pack

Could someone tell me what’s wrong with meowmix?

irljimmy

seems that it’s made some cats sicker (puking uncontrollably) and has been infested with bugs often, also in general, i think it’s probably just low grade and can give cats problems (like purina for dogs)

What’s wrong with the bird cage? I could understand that it could be too small for a large bird like a parrot, but what about a canary?

birdfightingbigotry

Nope. That cage is far too small to be used as a home for any kind of bird. It’s acceptable as a travel cage for small birds, or as a sleeping only cage. But songbirds deserve to have room to move around and fly too.

For Canaries and finches, it’s recommended they have at least a 3 foot cage!

Canaries are birds that need to fly. They were not meant to be domesticated and profited from as pets. They are highly active birds that will self harm from stress in such confined spaces. Canaries are delightful to have in groups, though they are fine on their own, but every 1 bird adds 3 cubic feet to the space needed. They need multiple perches and toys. These are examples of proper Canary or other small bird enclosures.

Meow Mix is a horrible brand of cat food, I used to feed it to my cats and they would just throw it back up. It’s so low quality that half of the ingredients aren’t even food items. The meat is all scrap by products from slaughterhouses like hooves, eyes, tails and fat because it’s cheap. Which is something they don’t list on the packaging to fool pet owners. I always used to find worms in my bags of Meow Mix. Beneful literally uses antifreeze in it’s food, which has lead to the deaths of thousands of dogs a year. From conditions such as internal bleeding, seizures and cancers.

Rabbits shouldn’t be confined to a cage. (Especially a dog cage..?) Rabbits are curious creatures that need to jump, run, chew and play to be healthy. Keeping them locked in a cage 24/7 as a toy for your kids will make them sick or develop aggression from stress. Healthy rabbit lifespans are 10+ years. Rabbit cages should only be a place for your rabbit to use the litterbox and sleep after a long day of exercise and play. Also, never keep two rabbits together unless they are fixed. Rabbits are territorial and they will either fight or mate rapidly when intact. Up to 14 babies every month. This is the proper set up for a rabbit.

I’m cringing at that rainbow “my mommy got me a cute hamster” rodent cage. These are small creatures that need to run around and explore. They need to burrow and chew. This is the proper set up for a hamster or other small rodent.

Betta fish get stressed from any confinement under 5 gallons. They are the worst pet for being sold to kids as “accessories” in small cubed tanks. When kept like that the fish will die a horribly stressed life within a year when they can live for 7 or more. They need calm filtration with many dark caves and soft plants. They are aggressive to other fish. These fish are so intelligent that they actually play with you, and they need mental stimulation to live healthy. These are proper Betta setups.

Who the fuck would even feed an omnivorous bearded dragon pellet food…? Do they want a sick pet? If pet stores even bothered to care about the keeping of exotic pets, they would know that shit is bad for them. If you can’t feed live meal worms and crickets than you shouldn’t own an exotic pet in the first place. Pellet food isn’t even real food, it’s chemically made with preservatives.
