every time I see screenshots of overwatch i’m like HOW IS THIS SO CRISP? SO PURE? DID SOMEONE PAINT THIS? OR???
and then i remember my overwatch is on low settings. like. i’m literally always forgetting that the game is SO MUCH MORE BEAUTIFUL than what my old PC can put out.
every now and then tumblr reminds me that my dad asked for a furry pic for his 57th birthday
might as well tell the story behind that
so, my dad’s birthday is coming up, and since he doesn’t text, ever (he’s luddite that way), i text my mom: “hey, can you ask dad would like for his birthday?”
her response is “well he really likes your animals, why don’t you draw (our real-life dog) in that style?”
now bear in mind my mom doesn’t getwhat i do, or my dad for that matter, so i figure that she doesn’t understand the ramifications of that suggestion. she doesn’t quite see how slapping two hands and a pair of breasts on our real-life dog would be fucking weird.but note also that it was a suggestion that she came up with, not him, so i reply:
“can you just ask him yourself”
she responds “i was just giving you an idea, why don’t you ask him”
“he never texts”
“i will tell him to text you”
and that brings us to
so the lesson is, my mom knows my dad’s tastes much better than i do
Me, a person who enjoy Disney and understand that every animated production has its pros and cons, that try to don’t follow this nonsensical debate/competition that get to nowhere:
this is probably one of my favorite facts from this blog so far
THAT’S FUCKING BRILLIANT, HOLY FUCK. Aardman animation is really great.
i thought it was because that one chicken liked to knit and made things for everyone
That headcanon works
fun fact: this is the same reason so many hanna barbara characters (yogi bear, snagglepuss, fred flinstone) have such clearly defined neck ornaments, so their limited animation budget would allow them to save money by reusing the same bodies but with different heads
Same with the “Caveman stubble” the mouth area was a different color because it was basically a separate layer to be swapped with different mouth shapes without needing to redraw the head.
I am Silver Tongue, I am an artist. I have many characters and you can check out my art in the art tag. I occasionally practice witchcraft though I don't do anything too complicated. I am girl 2 and don't know what else to put here.
