“A lamb that will not bite the wolf was not born hungry enough but I was born hungry enough. I am not afraid of anything.”

Acid Tears

This was mostly just a style experiment with combining my standard cell shading and personal painting style. It slowly evolved into the idea of a dragonborn barbarian who cries acid when he rages.  Want to see more of my work? Check out my Patreon!

I think the phrasing of this is really funny for some reason. Like it's worded so politely but at the same time it's possibly THE MOST insulting thing you can say about someone's cooking

Black Smiles of Beauty: The Striking Aesthetic of Ohaguro

In historical Japan, the tradition of blackening teeth, known as 'Ohaguro', was a symbol of beauty and maturity. This aesthetic practice, especially prevalent among women and some men of the aristocracy and samurai classes, signified elegance, adulthood, and social status.

Geishas, embodying the epitome of beauty and grace, often adorned their smiles with blackened teeth, creating a striking contrast with their white makeup.

Ohaguro was probably one of the historical precedents to the avant-garde, a testament to the Japanese ethos that beauty and eccentricity are not disparate entities but both necessary for a fulfilling cultural expression.

As much as everybody's justifiably railing on Chris Pratt for his acting, after watching the new trailer I honestly don't think Anya Taylor-Joy is a very good fit for Peach either. The problem isn't that they're bad actors, it's that they are not voice actors. When I hear Anya's or Chris's voice I don't picture Peach and Mario, I picture two regular adult people who wouldn't stand out in a coffee shop. Which isn't the point of animated movies and voice acting! ESPECIALLY with Mario! This is supposed to be a movie about cartoonish characters in a video game fantasy world saving the day, and their voices should fit with that theme. That's why Charles Martinet's Mario voice works so well, because it makes sense for what Mario is supposed to be. This trend of giving voice acting specific jobs to non-voice actors who have no experience with this kind of work is detrimental to animation and film! It is removing job opportunities from people who have spent their lives learning this craft and handing it over to a celebrity with no experience just because they're famous. The beauty of voice acting and animation in general is how you are completely creating a character. The whole point of voice acting is that you don't point to a character in a film and say, "hey, that's Chris Pratt" the point is that people will point to the charcater and go "oh, new character!" This movie is more and more frustrating to me the more I realize how much it feels like a money grab exclusively because of the casting. The animation, the music, and the effects are all completely perfect for a Mario movie, but so many of the acting choices feel like someone just rifled through a list of "100 most popular celebrities" and chose whoever was vaguely similar to "average white man voice" or "average white woman voice". No matter how popular these people are or how good they are at acting in front of a camera or on stage, they can not voice act.
