Yeah! They become big banded horns when he evolves.

It’s been a long time, but when I was little I really liked PokΓ©mon, around when Gen1 and Gen2 were new.

A little more scalework on the practice dummy:

It’s all rotten to the core. This whole thing we’ve taken for granted is end-to-end compromised.

I don’t even want to see it. It’ll be tainted, infected by their rot.

Netflix is dropping its bid for Warner Bros., meaning Paramount’s bid is now unopposed. The presumption is that Warner Bros. will go to Paramount/Skydance.

This means the MonsterVerse, like all of WB’s properties, will be owned by a pro-fascist family, and that is not something I’ll support.

I love Godzilla x Kong, it’s actually my favorite MonsterVerse entry. This is in response to tonight’s news.

Well, it certainly sounds like it matches the quality drop, even if it doesn’t retcon anything. I just read the synopsis, and it’s… pretty unreal, I’ll say that much. They’ve got some damn nerve.

That wouldn’t, won’t be so bad. These ghouls have been begging to clot for a long time now. Let it die.

I think that was it. My last attachment to modern mainstream film has been cut. I am officially an old-movies-only guy.

I really wasn’t sure, I haven’t seen it in a long time, and the fact they redesigned the snakes to look more like their real-world counterparts cast some doubt in my mind!

This was originally the second of two commentsβ€” in the first I asked if you thought Boa vs Python was actually a crossover of Boa and Python, then I did a cursory search, found it was, felt like a moron, and deleted the first comment.

But to answer your question… I guess Tremors 4? If for no other reason than I like Tremors 4 and nothing else is coming to me?

It did strike me watching it that there’s something decidedly non-lucid about its content. It feels like it overshoots ineptitude into full-blown surreality.

If held to the same standard as studio movies, it probably is the worst I’ve seen, but I find thinking of it as more of a home movie that went to video helps (in a way, that’s kind of what it is). For better or worse, it’s strictly unprofessional.

Not really, it just looks like it between the ugly appearance and toilet placement. They’ve got blood like raspberry gushers!

It’s a hard movie to take unironically, to say the least!

I have experienced Things (1989) for the first time.

That was an experience, all right.

It feels willful, like they have evil intentions here and I can’t figure out what they are. No way in hell they’re just this dense.

The original’s the best, but I have to admit that Critters 2 is the one I’ve always had the most affection for. Lots of puppets, loads of fun. And it’s a rare Easter horror movie!

Blade is the most popular puppet, he’s the one in most of the promotional material, but the puppets don’t really have a leader besides their β€œmaster”, which is whoever reanimates them from their sleep (they’re human souls in puppet bodies animated by a potion derived from spinal fluid/brain tissue).

Crop from yesterday’s sketch, this time with bumped up color. I’m trying to get back to color, there’s been a while recently where I’ve been pretty muddy.

Every so often, I wonder why I haven’t engaged with anything Game of Thrones related, and then I’m handily reminded of why I haven’t engaged with anything Game of Thrones related.

Artist Proofs!

If you’ve ordered one and are still waiting on it, please send me a reminderβ€” I’m making an order book to better keep up with what’s outstanding.

If you’d like to order one, they’re $75 for a sketch and $200 for full color with rare exception.

All pictured are available as well.

For whatever reason, I find fine-tuning lighting and polish and color balance easier on my laptop, I can see it better there. I think it has less to do with photoshop than my display distanceβ€” on my laptop I see the forest; on my tablet I see the trees.
