Expert In The Shadowy Field Of Many Things

I am undone without you.

new art pieces in iwtv s02e01!!!

i was sure that the two figures in the dubai bedroom had to be jesus and judas, and the wonderful @terrifique found the painting! it's the kiss of judas (1908) by jakob smits, a dutch-flemish painter.

(some precedents include ary scheffer's the kiss of judas and gustave doré's the judas kiss, from the mid 19th century)

please please please please reblog if you’re a writer and have at some point felt like your writing is getting worse. I need to know if I’m the only one who’s struggling with these thoughts

I miss when the big boat was stuck

I think there needs to be a name for the kind of writer's block where you know what the story is, and generally how to write it, but you've been working on it for so long that you're exhausted because it's just. not. finished.

Anyway that's how I'm feeling about my writing at the moment :/

Writer's Are We There Yet

Let's take a moment to appreciate just how amazing the title cards were for Batman the Animated Series.

Oh! I actually know what made these look so iconic!

The backgrounds for the entire series were done on black paper, a first for any animated show. It's Batman, which means everything is at night and incredibly dark. So, the majority of the backgrounds were going to be black anyways and using black paper would cut down on the time it took to create all of the backgrounds. Adding color over the black paper instead of the traditional method gave it a much more stylized look that helped make it iconic.

It also forced some other creative choices, such as using an airbrush to do all of the background art. During the early testing, they found that using an airbrush was easier to apply paint with than a paintbrush and that it looked better. Airbrushing let them be more experimental with painting techniques, such as the spattery fades you can see in the "Bane" and "Deep Freeze" title cards above or the soft, deeply shadowed face on "the Last Laugh." The overall effect of airbrushing on a black background is a much darker, moodier vibe than could be achieved with a traditional approach.

They cared very deeply about the art of the show and how they were going to create it. It wasn't just about the story or the character. In the words of co-creator Eric Radomski: "As opposed to making shows just to sell toys, we've made quality films."

they need to invent a writing that is easy. and fast also

sometimes you have ONE day to rest enough to turn the shambling corpse of your body into a vehicle fit for capitalism but you also have to use that day to do LAUNDRY

If you like the word “queer” reblog.
