Exclamation marks, but instead of a huge line of them, we do like Roman numerals of them.

You know. To save space.

european comics: Well there’s these two guys who have been friends for 20 years, one of them writes the scripts and the other makes the art.

american comics: The publisher wants us to crank out a new chapter every month so we have one dude who writes it, another one plans the page layout and sketches, a third person inks the page and fourth one colours it, and the fifth one is on the payroll just to fight the publisher about the requested edits and corrections.

So basically if you make most creatures a size they're usually not it is wrong in some way. A kobold or maybe even a funny doggy the size a building is just too much. Sure there are instances of it happening but it's rare and a source of much wonder confusion for how that happened. Now a dragon. You can basically make a dragon any size you want and it still makes sense. Is it 1 building big? That's normal. Bigger than a small moon? That's nature baby. A mere 3 grapes tall? Well that little critter makes an awful lot of sense now doesn't it? This is because basically dragons are like fish. you wouldn't dare tell a fish what it can and cant do,that would be absurd. the fish woudlnt even hear you because it is too busy chowing down on an delectable detritus it found. and dont even think of saying that to the dragon cause baby, the dragon is the fish's diner buddy and it's chewing louder than a lawn mower caught over a rock! you really should join in you know,its rude to stare

LAND creatures. One of the truly terrifying things about the ocean is, no matter what the shape or the 'standard' size of the creature in the ocean, it's entirely possible you'll find one small as a pea in your pocket after swimming or come across one big as an ocean liner in the deeps.

In the ocean, anything can be a dragon.

I work at a thrift store, and this is just one of the wild things that have been donated to us. Other things that I wasn’t able to get a photo of include

Sexy nurse cosplay with the name badge “Nurse Ophelia”

Bloody duvet. If you’re going to murder someone, please don’t donate the aftermath. I don’t want to touch it.

The head to a flamingo statue. Just the head.

A hair straightener INSIDE a suit pocket.

A shirt that said “SUSPICIOUS” in all caps. It had a vaporwave vibe.

A collection of funeral pamphlets. All in the same suit. There were about 15 of them.

Teletubbie pencil holders (I actually do have a photo of a shrine we made with them, but it will reveal my store so I have to wait until I quit).

A volunteer was sorting our raw donations and very “helpfully” placed a pair of designer shoes on top of our dumpster, only to get caught trying to go back for them later that day. Dude was literally pink panther sneaking across the open garage doors to get to our dumpster and was baffled that we saw him. Shoes retail used for about $600.

Found the source of the infographic that explains how the results were obtained!

[alexseanchai]

there’s sixteen Colorado counties that their most searched was “wolf furry”, plus thirty-odd counties (not counting either Arapahoe or any of the ones marked here as “Insufficient Data”) which may well have had plenty of searches for “wolf furry”, just fewer than for whatever they’re labeled here

and “skunk furry” searches in Arapahoe County outnumbered “wolf furry” searches in the entire state of Colorado

something tells me Skunks Georg

What the fuck

[screampotato]

This is absolutely fascinating. I've now been looking at Alex Colville's paintings and trying to work out what it is about them that makes them look like CGI and how/why he did that in a world where CGI didn't exist yet. Here's what I've got so far:

- Total lack of atmospheric perspective (things don't fade into the distance)

- Very realistic shading but no or only very faint shadows cast by ambient light.

- Limited interaction between objects and environment (shadows, ripples etc)

- Flat textures and consistent lighting used for backgrounds that would usually show a lot of variation in lighting, colour and texture

- Bodies apparently modelled piece by piece rather than drawn from life, and in a very stiff way so that the bodies show the pose but don't communicate the body language that would usually go with it. They look like dolls.

- Odd composition that cuts off parts that would usually be considered important (like the person's head in the snowy driving scene)

- Very precise drawing of structures and perspective combined with all the simplistic elements I've already listed. In other words, details in the "wrong" places.

What's fascinating about this is that in early or bad CGI, these things come from the fact that the machine is modelling very precisely the shapes and perspectives and colours, but missing out on some parts that are difficult to render (shadows, atmospheric perspective) and being completely unable to pose bodies in such a way as to convey emotion or body language.

But Colville wasn't a computer, so he did these same things *on purpose*. For some reason he was *aiming* for that precise-but-all-wrong look. I mean, mission accomplished! The question in my mind is, did he do this because he was trying to make the pictures unsettling and alienating, or because in some way, this was how he actually saw the world?
