Screenshot of fictional horror movie posters illustrated to be seen inside of Wax Heads, a record store video game. The posters from left to right show:

A rotting hand bursting out of the dirt with the caption "You've got to HAND it to him" / A skeletal figure holding a glowing sandwich made of pins and the caption PINWICH / an eyeball with bugs of various sizes dotted around and the caption BUG FACE / a bleeding teethed human like dog with the caption MAN DOG

Yeah like I get the attraction to the big noir stylisation and the casting was fun, but it was SO LONG. I don't remember much from it as it was a while ago I saw it, but I think that's kinda it, like nothing stood out to me other than it was long and a general mess of pacing/story/character etc

It's fun discovering it's way more terrifying sharing a trailer and checking people's reactions when not only are you developing it, but when you do the voiceover too ๐Ÿ˜…๐Ÿซ ๐Ÿ’€

Good art, bad art! I love art because someone wanted to take the time to learn to make it and express something

Art is awesome

29.10.2025 14:32 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 2    ๐Ÿ” 1    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Exactly!! it's the expression of something which is what makes it interesting, even if the execution or articulation isn't smooth or even "good", even if it's shallow! The point is someone put a measure of time and friction into something, trying to capture something, anything! Art is awesome!!

29.10.2025 14:36 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 1    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Yes! 100% because you can see the person in it, I completely agree

one weird positive the "age of AI" has had on me, it's opened my heart even wider to the stunning artistry of people, I see a painting study like this and my mouth is just open, seeing all the little stylistic decisions, all the physical energy and movement in the mark making. This is the real shit
