@t00thpasteface You. You did this to me. I’m stuck in Marcien hell and it’s your doing.

Already encountered my first struggle

Wings

Wings are a funny thing. Specifically choosing wings. Especially when there’s no prior context to the character.

Wings are often based on how the creature evolved. If, say, an alien race evolved from insectoid ancestors, then they may have insect wings, like beetles or dragonflies. Same with other creatures like birds, bats, butterflies, or even fairies.

Different wings move differently, so for this character’s wings, I have to not only think about how I want them to look, but also how I want them move.

Some wings move in a circular pattern, spinning almost like propellors. Other wings, the more common kind, simple beat up and down (however, these sometimes do move slightly in a circular pattern to achieve directional movement instead of pure lift).

This character isn’t coming from a premeditated race, so there’s no exact evolution path to follow.

I first considered drawing Insect wings, which tend to move in a circle. However, the reason insect can use this to fly if because they have teeny bodies. If I wanted to go with these wings, I’d have to make them proportional to the character’s body, and this fucker already has so much going on and I don’t want it to look cumbersome.

The “more logical” option would be bat wings or bird wings; but I already use these as the wing default in most of my character designs.

I could go with Butterfly wings; that’d leave me only with deciding which butterfly or moth I want to design them after, or just make the design up from scratch.

I also have to think about how they fold. Bird and Bat wings are evolved to be foldable and flexible, though Insect wings would be more compact when resting; Butterfly wings don’t compact at all.

I think I’m gonna fiddle around with different Insect wings to see what I like.

Im getting a lot of scp stimboards on my dadh and not ONE has been of SCP-420 and I cant say Im not a little disappointed

More!

Turning Red

Oh god damn Pixar rly got me with this one. As someone who grew up in an Asian household with this kind of situation, this one hit on. An emotional level. Pixar/Disney has released a slew of amazing movies touching on generational trauma and I both love it and hate it.

Luca

LET. THEM. BE. BOYFRIENDS.

Inside Out

Actually really good! I’d turned down seeing this movie when it first came out cause I was an insecure teenager so Im glad I finally watched it. Joy was kinda insufferable for a little bit but it got better. I really like the message and I had fun posing a lot of questions about how things work in that universe. Also I feel Riley on a personal level cause I moved around a lot as a kid so I understand that it can be really hard sometimes.

Zootopia

Yes I had never seen this movie until now, no I dont regret not watching it. It was. Aight. Wish I wouldve watched it before finding out about the. AHEM. THE COMIC. But whatever, I like Nick.

General Opinions on Movies me and my partner marathoned recently written before the melatonin wins

Planet of the Apes trilogy

LOVED THEM. SO MUCH. I care a lot about Caesar and Maurice so the end of the third movie really had me in tears. So good.

Jurassic World Movies

Pretty alright, docked some points because of real world opinions of Crisp Rat, but I am HERE for Blue and the T-Rex. The Indominus Rex was, imo, a really cool dino. Fed my childhood love of scaley boys.

Puss in Boots: The Last Wish

YES KING ITS WHAT HE DESERVES. So happy to see Kitty again and Harvey Guillén did a great job. 10/10 will watch again.

The Golden Compass

Lost to the mf ages. I had a preview for this movie on a dvd I had as a kid, and only now got to watch it. So sad there wasn't a sequel.

The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe

YES. YES. YES. EVERYTHING I WANTED IT TO BE.

All of the Michael Bay Transformers movies

Ugh took us so long to get through cause each movie is a little over 2.5 hours but we made it! I watched the first one as a kid (as well as read some of the comics) and Ive always loved Bumblebee. I loved all of the movies. LOVED HOUND he was my childhood second favourite. Im a little sad that Arcee didn't get nearly as much of a part as she deserves but I'll live. I'm more partial towards Sam Witwicky but Cade Yeager is alright. Hes cool.

Transformers: the Movie (1986)

Partner's childhood favourite so naturally we had to. Was really good! Reminded me of why I love 80's cartoons so much, it was a huge nostalgia trip and got me wanting to watch all of my childhood shows and movies (X-Men, TMNT '87, Rainbow Brite, etc.). I will always love the style and the way they did the backgrounds. As for the movie itself, I got my fill of Arcee, and I'm happy with the experience. Will watch again.

Bayverse TMNT movies.

YES FINALLY. Ive had these on my watch list for. A WHILE. I loved them, loved Mikey and Donnie specifically. Not my favourite iteration of Casey but he was fine. Overall p good, happy to see Bebop and Rocksteady. I think they should've used '87 Krang's voice in the second movie but he's squeaky and kind of annoying so I get it. Reminds me to watch ROTTMNT.

Dinosaur

Literally didnt even know this was a Disney movie but was fantastic. Beautiful animation despite being old. Loved it.

Hook

*Points at Rufio* its him officer. Its the homestuck flashback. Despite the fact that I had to explain why Rufio cause me to uncontrollably laugh to my partner, was a really good movie. Hook and Peter were both played by amazing guys.

I'll add any if I missed them, and I'll reblog with our next batch. :)
