The impact Spiderverse has on art and artists is INSANE. Everyone is drawing, everyone is CREATING. From colour studies, to the art style studies, to making sona influenced by the movies' character designs. AI generated images are nowhere to be seen, and I hope they're going to stay buried in the uncreative pits they belong in... the world is in balance.
Seeing all the works are... WOW

this worked last night lets go for round two
every word out of guillermo del toro’s mouth is the most hardcore thing i’ve ever heard and he says it all so casually like he doesn’t even realize how much of a gothic visionary he is
“Since childhood, I’ve been faithful to monsters. I have been saved and absolved by them, because monsters, I believe, are patron saints of our blissful imperfection, and they allow and embody the possibility of failing”
I STILL THINK ABOUT THIS EVERY DAY OF MY LIFE
Yo okie Guillermo has some of the best quotes and lines I’ve ever heard, here are just a few of his quotes that have me questioning life:
“What is a ghost? A tragedy condemned to repeat itself time and again? A moment of pain, perhaps. Something dead which still seems to be alive. An emotion suspended in time. Like a blurred photograph. Like an insect trapped in amber.”
“I knew that monsters were far more gentle and more desirable than the monsters living inside ‘nice people.’ Accepting that you are a monster gives you the leeway to not behave like one. When you deny being a monster, you behave like one.”
“When you see something or experience something extraordinary, you can’t go back to normal… I think that that’s the way I see the supernatural-as happening in mundane circumstances or to people who are unprepared”
“To learn what we fear is to learn who we are. Horror defines our boundaries and illuminates our souls”
“Any legend, any creature, any symbol we ever stumble on, already exists in a vast cosmic reservoir where archetypes wait. Shapes looming outside our Platonic cave. We naturally believe ourselves clever and wise, so advanced, and those who came before us so naïve and simple…when all we truly do is echo the order of the universe, as it guides us…”
And the last but certainly not the least:
“In fairy tales, monsters exist to be a manifestation of something that we need to understand, not only a problem we need to overcome, but also they need to represent, much like angels represent the beautiful, pure, eternal side of the human spirit, monsters need to represent a more tangible, more mortal side of being human: aging, decay, darkness and so forth. And I believe that monsters originally, when we were cavemen and you know, sitting around a fire, we needed to explain the birth of the sun and the death of the moon and the phases of the moon and rain and thunder. And we invented creatures that made sense of the world: a serpent that ate the sun, a creature that ate the moon, a man in the moon living there, things like that. And as we became more and more sophisticated and created sort of a social structure, the real enigmas started not to be outside. The rain and the thunder were logical now. But the real enigmas became social. All those impulses that we were repressing: cannibalism, murder, these things needed an explanation. The sex drive, the need to hunt, the need to kill, these things then became personified in monsters. Werewolves, vampires, ogres, this and that. I feel that monsters are here in our world to help us understand it. They are an essential part of a fable.”

The captions are also really cute, although they mostly describe what’s in each photo:
Bulbasaur: Somehow, nomming on my clothes… has become a weird habit of theirs.
Venusaur: That hasn’t changed now that they’ve grown, but they’re very gentle.
Charmander: It’s my first attempt, but I made a plushie so that he wouldn’t get lonely.
Charizard: That plushie seems to be his favorite even now.
Squirtle: Squirtle’s a bit timid and hides behind me at the smallest things.
Blastoise: Looks like they’re scared of the first Pichu they’ve seen. You’re not really hiding!
This is adorable
You forgot these!!!
I’m disappointed that these were left out
SO MANY GOOD ONES AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Wild West Challenge - The Good, the Bad and the Undead
My final designs as submitted to the Artstation Wild West character Deisgn Challenge.
Despite initial doubt regarding the theme I ended up thoroughly enjoying this after doing a little brainstorming and research, eventually going with a bit of an undead theme.
You can find the final submission and work in progress sketches in the challenge submission thread here: https://www.artstation.com/contests/wild-west/challenges/45/submissions/28038
Some seriously incredible art coming out of the Wild West challenge!

“Story about greedy gold seekers who began to develop the new gold mine in sacred area of native american people. And the curse had fall upon their heads, and whole small town turned into weird mutants (black and gold spikes and growths). Small tribe of native Americans who supposed to be protectors of that sacred place also turned into these creepy creatures. Rumors about this cursed place has spread around, and a few people arrived to figure out what’s going on ”
Hey all! I know I’ve been inactive here but I wanted to post a quick VO thing.
I recently provided voice-over work for a mobile game app called Soul Hunters; there was a miscommunication in casting and I was hired on to re-dub male VO for the character Velatha--now Venarys--and it was a lot of fun to perform! I seem to be a natural at voicing edgy pretty boys, haha.
I’m not sure when this re-dubbed audio will be implemented in game, but feel free to keep an eye out if you’d like!
I’ve been busy still plugging away at (trying) to do the pro VA thing, so the time I’ve been absent from here hasn’t been a total waste. Hope you all are doing great!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!! It’s been rough but I finally managed to finish my thanksgiving comic from last year. In hindsight I’m actually glad I did it this year because I don’t think I would have been able to put as much care into it if I had done it the year prior. With that being said, I’m very thankful that I’ve been able to have so much fun in the Overwatch community and I hope you all have a wonderful thanksgiving!!!
