iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

I used 4 different types of green dye for this (dark green, forest green, moss green, dragon heart, all from dharma) and that’s fine. I had to use nearly 80-100g of dye. this thing slurped it up — washing and drying now to check the color

picked out my fortunes weave cosplay. i have seen ENOUGH

a receipt for two items from arda wigs: a renee in deep brown and a hairbun in deep brown.

this is a fabulous list and callout, thank you so much, especially the osaka and kyoto recs! we have so few of those so that's nice lol

THIS IS UNIRONICALLY SO INSPIRATIONAL that rules so much 😭 my god...the passion must be so palpable in that place

oh that’s totally fine! I’m a 10-12 often in tops so if stuff is oversized on you I’m bound to find a couple of things, I’m just very pear shaped lol. thank you!

Oh my god this is an incredible pitch lol. We will definitely look into the one at Osaka at least, thanks for the rec!

thanks!! how’s the bigger sizing situation if you know? I’m a US 14-16/often 2L in Japan sizing if that helps

OHHH this is the juice right here, thanks!! I’ll check out their exhibits in advance

000

we love both, so that’s perfect! one of the highlights of my trip to Hakone last time was all the landscapes so this sounds sick

000

thank you for all the recs! Unfortunately I am epi pen allergic to cats so that’s a no go, but perhaps my fiance can go in my stead haha

I went to Nara last time and I also adore the manga museum too — we plan to go this time as they have an exhibit on my favorite BL series! thanks for the Kanazawa rec, I love gardens so I’ll add it to my list!

things I’m hunting for: - Craft supplies (paint, leather, sewing of course) - vintage kimono and accessories - punk/dark/unisex apparel - dojunshi (of the yaoi variety) - film photography related stuff - stationery stuff (albeit we’re planning a trip to ancora)

props! both of these models are from @dangerousladies.ca -- the sword is the shorter, 28" variation and the shield is roughly 90% of the original model. i am 5'3" and our goal is to make everything look a bit oversized, to make me look more baby.

i feel like a christmas elf. hat is 90% there -- i'm gonna make it a smidge wider and a smidge longer. there's some chiffon kinda shoved inside it to see how the "poofiness" looks. the cuff also isn't folded but you get the idea

i was already making the baby but now im making the baby in HD: it's ocarina of time young link time!!! #LutaviaBuildThread

GDT's reddit AMA spitting fire www.reddit.com/r/movies/com...

reddit comment:

Hello! Did you intend the ending of Pan’s labyrinth to be real or in Ofelia’s mind?

Guillermo Del Toro's reply:

My interpretation, and it's exclusively mine, is that it's real.

Because there's two things. One is what people call “The Shining Question.” The Shining Question is, Who opens the door for Jack to get out of the fridge? And Ofelia is in an attic with a guard outside her door, and she draws the door with the magic chalk, and she shows up in the labyrinth. So, the only way she could have gone into the labyrinth is the magic chalk. And the flower is real at the end. The flower that blooms in the dead tree. And the reason I think it’s real is because—and this is why I'm in favor of the human factor in art—I think that art does transform the world. You know?

Think about it for a second. One of the goals, with all this movement, is to make you believe that art is vulgar. That art is nothing special, and anybody can do art. That is like me telling you that I'm faster at running than Usain Bolt but I “run” in my motorcycle. Well, that's not the same. That’s not the same at all.

Art is important, and they want you to believe it isn't. It's part of the idea of control. The goal is not to have artificial intelligence. The goal is to foster natural stupidity. The goal is to foster you not looking for answers, and to trust yourself entirely to an engine. Look at the way we are dipping our toes into these things. We are starting to ask the machine, Is this true? For now, there's a correlation between reality and what the answers of the machine are. For now. But soon, we won't even investigate further. We will be told it's true. And if the machine is in the hands of somebody who should not be trusted, then your reality has been completely and utterly fucked. Because your intelligence ends at the question. You don't seek the answer. It's given to you.

Q: You recently mentioned that AI creates 'semi-compelling screensavers' and that you'd 'rather die' than use it. As a filmmaker who relies heavily on practical effects and creature design, what do you think is the biggest thing lost when a computer generates an image instead of a human hand?

GDT:

The three quarters of the process that gave you the chance to think of the idea that people don't think about without that process. Meaning, AI can get you to the middle really fast, but there's a dialectic with the process that gets you to that top 10%. I'll give you an example with the Pale Man.

We sculpted it as an old man, with a face. And then I said, Let's take out the face. This happened because I saw a photo of a manta ray and the poster for Don Coscarelli’s Phantasm. That combination, which happened at two different times during a week or a month, are not permutations that are chemically part of an equation. They are alchemy. And then I said, Take out the face, and then I said, Let's put the eyes on the hands. This triangulation happens because I spent a month or two months living with the idea of this creature. And it's not linear.

AI is like a super-fast engine that makes semi-sentient permutations of things that are already done. Creation is things that have never been done. Coming to exist.

And the second thing is the loss of the apprenticeship that one has as an artist. You're never a master; you're always an apprentice. This is a kinship I have with, for example, Chris Nolan. When he showed me The Odyssey, there’s a scene when Matt Damon is floating in the stormy ocean and I asked him—because we were talking about practical effects, and how great it is and that we both always use a maquette or a model—and I asked him, How did you do it? He said, “We put him in a storm in the ocean.”

And you're gonna find that 30% of a great image occurs accidentally. You know, either a drop of water hits the lens, or the camera shakes. I remember when in 1993, '94, Jim…

This is an extremely tough year but Blood Pool is one of the most creatively invigorating parts of any year for me because doing all practical effects and physical sets in 2026 feels radical and cool and awesome in a world that is increasingly hostile to the creative process.

with them next to each other i am actually very charmed by young link's design (it's very kokiri! that's why im making it!) but i would never ever make adult link because he has so much stuff going on but you bet your dollar i'm gonna see at least 500 of those adult links in cosplay competitions

so me and @solaheikacos.bsky.social were ALREADY MAKING original malon and young link before this whole announcement but you can bet that both of us are in mega trouble for magfest

solidarity as I joined a TTRPG where 4/5 people are trans or nonbinary and I was the only transmasc/trans dude and immediately got she/her’d on the call complete with the crazy self-berating/guilty “omg I’m so sorry I’m so stupid for misgendering you” from the gm … twice 😭

it'll be up tomorrow! i'll cross post it here as well. :>

bumping this as i'll be doing more progress soon hurray!

bear with me as i basically "drew the rest of the owl" but i'll have a tutorial on how i did this paint job! original mask 3d model from @dangerousladies.ca , sculpted additions + painting/finishing by me!

a cosplayer wearing a replica mask of fox mask from silent hill f, facing forward. the mask is sculpted and painted a weird bone-skintone color and looks gross.

one thing some farms actually offer here is that you can see which markets they go to. a lot of them have websites. some of them you can legit drive to and they have a storefront for selling some stuff every day. It might be a bit out of the way and you may ONLY get meat or ONLY produce tho
