Snally's Stupendous Miscellany

A Tumblr of nonsense, hogwash, folly and drivel! A little bit of everything and nothing for the distinguished blog lector. [Previously known as Toyoll]

Hi! Are you a Gw2 artist/content creator? Do you struggle getting High Def references of some stuff in game because it's too pixelated or those damn shaders are in the way? Struggling still with figuring out the details on that dress on your character? Maybe you just enjoy a bit lore and art watching! Did you know a lot of Anet artists and sculptors post their work for Guild Wars 2 on Art Station in High Res?

-> I have made a Google Docs compiling a list of works posted by Arena Net employees on Art Station! <- It includes model sheets, early concept art, 3d models, you name it!

I compiled these for myself and my friends at first, but I thought I might as well share! Hope it's useful to someone or that you learn something new about the behind-the-scenes of Guild Wars 2. If you have any suggestions to add and see any mistakes as well feel free to throw a DM!

Please use it I worked very hard on it

[tumblchorraden]

THIS IS AMAZING, OP!

I'm adding my two cents with a simple file which lists all the concept artists I have found in art station (which are A LOT) and some extra resources too. It needs a lot of work and I must organize it better later, but you may want to have a look too (please let me know if you can't open it, I always have problems with access to google docs).

When my mother forgets a word, she is the queen of coming up with new words. Words that would take a third National Treasure movie to fully decipher. I was talking to her yesterday, and she said this: “You know the time for los jibbities is coming up. You must be so excited!” Oh, is it time for los jibbities already? I must have missed it on my calendar. Are we celebrating something? “Of course! We should all be celebrating, shouldn’t we?” OK, so los jibbities is a happy thing. It’s not like something is giving you the heebie-jeebies, which would have been my one and only guess. “Los heebie-jeebies? Now you’re making things up...and this is my show.” You’re right. The time for los jibbities is coming up. Is this a season? “Yes, the season for love. The season for pride.” OK, los jibbities. “Yeah, sound it out.” Los…jibbities. LGBTs! “Sí, mira cuz you’re gay!” “You couldn’t just say pride season? You couldn’t just… *laughs*

HAPPY LOS JIBBITIES EVERYBODY!!!

Six flags commercial from 2004 you most likely forgot about.

can not recommend letting your child do a big scream when they are frustrated enough. Just straight up ask them like "hey do you need to do a big scream?" And if they say yes let cover your ears and say okay GO and let them scream because you know what eventually when you're really frustrated your little person with your face is gonna look at you with their ears covered and yell "HEY DO YOU NEED TA DO A BIG SCHREAM?!" and you can just... do a big scream and it won't scare them and you will feel better too

[kaity--did]

Hey this is literally great advice for anyone just warn the people around you that you need to do a big schream and do it, so they will do it back and it is very cathartic

[onmywayoutokay-deactivated20240]

That... is NOT how you use an inhaler with an animal. The aerosol chambers are 100% necessary because an animal will not inhale and then hold their breath on command.

My coworkers are all cackling because, yeah. This would have been equally as effective.

oH RIGHT This was before LotR pioneered cgi for massed crowd behavior

There was so much cool cgi in those movies I just assumed all the clones were too but back then I guess they still couldn’t really be

[chilewithcarnage]

this is so sexy

[luckyladylily]

I wonder what happened to all the agent smith masks

[roomtemperaturesuperconductor]

I can actually answer this! So the latex/rubber they used, while standard for Hollywood at the time, reacted REALLY BADLY to being doused in pouring water nonstop for an entire day of shooting. They ended up corroding, which caused them to stink really badly and glob together at the seams. The original plan was to hand out masks to various crew members on the final day of shooting as souvenirs, but the sopping wet, melting, rotting rubber got so gross that by the end of that shooting day they’d already thrown most of them out. Somewhere in a landfill are hundreds of disgusting, bloated, slimey Hugo weaving heads fused together into a nightmarish rotting amalgam :)

why does sequential art require you to make multiple images? does anybody understand this?
