A While Ago I Made A Post Criticizing Overwatch For Leaning Into Superheroic, Noble Imagery And Branding

hey man I found a piece of your soul stuck in the text messages of old friends you don’t speak to anymore. do you want it back

The thing about standing ovations is that they are like after care for actors: it’s ok that you dressed up and played pretend for two hours! Everyone liked it! No one thought it was weird!

inspired by a friend misspeaking

Dragon 2 sketches!

Back in 2010 when the first movie came out, I was OBSESSED with their racehorse type of riding, the character design, the mechanics of the saddle, EVERYTHING. I wrote entire essays on livejournal including ‘studies’, and harassed the designer of the saddle for answers on deviantart.

I’ve always had an interest in character design and feature animation, but looking back, this movie really sparked something serious in me. Dreamworks studio seemed further away than the moon (still does) but for the first time I felt like looking in the kitchen and actually understanding what was going on. 

By then I was in the final stage of med school and didn’t entertain any serious ambitions towards design. But I remember the immense joy this movie and my new discoveries gave me, purely as a hobby.

Never in a million years would my clumsy younger self have guessed that by 2014 I’d be a full-time character designer in a city halfway across the world, sitting in a cinema in Vancouver to watch the sequel. 

In short: I owe a LOT to the people behind these films. Thank you. 

Anyone else notice that the ‘Come here to my bedroom and have sex with me’ face that RSL does in the Last Days Of Disco is pretty much the same expression he gives House at the end of Black Hole…

just saying…
