Detailing this part was nerve wracking lol. It’s where the light source originates from and there are rainbows *everywhere*. | #wip #oilpainting #traditionalart #artsky |

A photo of the bottom right side of the painting in progress. A waterfall surrounds a purple and yellow island where golden palm trees grow. A "person" is standing on top of the island holding a blue star as the red giant claws of the monster approach "them".

For example, is whatever SCP fanfic that was written actually more interesting than Mark Powell's own diorama sculptures? Sadly his actual site has been offline for years, but theres a Flickr gallery archiving his work. Great stuff: www.flickr.com/photos/16313...

Well SCP is founded entirely on removing context from artists work without credit, so they can deal imo.

Or you could instead watch the 1993 Classic Mutant Action which isn't a horrifying 133 minutes long and doesn't have bad actors like Tom Holland.

This is rhetorical cos its my blog not any of yours, but...Im thinking I want to include non-creature miniature effects on the blog too Not the main focus, more a side feature, cos so many of these guys dabble in modelmaking too. And hey, its essential for stopmo creature effects too.

I remember this terrible interview some Trekkie did with Robert Fletcher (costume designer for the first 4 Star Trek films, and many other films and theatre productions). And the interviewer barely asked him about his work. He actually was just blathering (to a man in his 90s!) to watch Voyager?

Petty opinion but I kinda don't get why a lot of nerd publications / conventions etc just always seem to only interview the actors? Especially bit-part actors? Yes I'm saying this out of frustration from sifting thru tons of interviews that dont really say anything when BTS info is SO hard to find.

I have no interest in all these tie-in horror games, but if you had to make a Hellraiser videogame, surely have it be a Myst-style adventure game, come on.

I used to not care for the monster in The Ritual until I did a bit of digging and saw just how much solid practical work went into it. All the annoying fanboys for it just only ever shared the same few muddy CGI screenshots & maybe 1 or 2 maquette pictures. Not enough to jazz me up.

I have never listened to a single Ed Sheeran song. I am assuming his musical genre is, to steal a friend's term, 'Krogercore'.
