EPISODE 007: Sundance '92 Selection Ranked
American documentary filmmaking emerged as earlier as film equipment became widely available and affordable. Many young filmmakers sought a collective resurgence in a new era of American cinema, now broadly accessible -- this time it helmed at the heart and gut of independent filmmaking. The quintessential roots of American independent cinema can be found in the films selected for the Sundance Film Festival of 1992, which is available on the Criterion Collection Channel. In this episode on LA CINEASTE, we will sort through and essentially rank the 25 captivating films in the 1992 Sundance Selection. Though many auteurs exceeded with accolades and impressed the new age, others found challenges along the way.

Tale as old as time
“Oh wow a new Hbomberguy video! Ooh and this one is like 4 hours long fun!”
*halfway through the video* “and there’s the twist where it seems like he’s finished but he’s actually about to go on a 2 hour long tirade”
*2 hours layer* “James Somerton deserves what’s coming to him. May god have mercy because I know the people won’t”

Spocktober + Trektober Day 2 - Hiding Injuries
Yeah, this is the reason I'm so behind on these prompts, doing a six panel comic in a day was NOT a smart idea 😅
(ID under cut)
[Image ID: A black and white six panel comic featuring Spock, Bones, and Jim Kirk from Star Trek: The Original Series.
Panel one: A wide shot inside a cave. Bones is kneeling in front of Jim, who has collapsed against a wall. Further into the cave, Spock stands with his back to them, his right arm across his chest. He says "We cannot stay here long. Take the Captain back to the ship."
Panel two: A closeup on Bones and Jim. Jim is unconscious, a bleeding gash on his forehead and the shoulder of his shirt torn. Bones is holding his face, but he's turned to look at Spock, aghast. He says "What, and leave you behind? Are you crazy? No way!"
Panel three: A closeup on Spock, from behind. We cannot see his face. He says "That is an order, Doctor. I will hold off our attackers."
Panel four: From offscreen, Bones says "But Spock--" Spock's head turns slightly, so we can see his eyebrows are furrowed and his mouth is downturned. He orders "LEAVE." in all caps.
Panel five: A wide shot again, although this time Spock is closer in the frame, visible from chest upwards. He is still holding his arm across his chest, and a slight disturbance in the fabric around his hand is visible. His face betrays no emotion. Behind him, Bones lifts Jim, who is still unconscious. Bones mutters "Goddamn stubborn Vulcan--" then says out loud, "C'mon, Jim."
Panel six: The same shot. Bones carries Jim out with Jim's arm over his shoulders. Spock removes his hand from his side, revealing a wound in his chest. He looks down at the blood on his hand impassively. As Bones carries Jim out, he grumbles "liable to get himself killed--"
Above the comic, the artist has written "Trektober" and "Day 2 - Hiding Injuries". Below, they have written "@aerialworms" and "Spocktober". /End ID]

Picture of the cargo hatch (chapter 40 - The river that connects us)
The cargo hatch/lattice hatch is that grated wooden box thingy behind James.
It's used for loading or unloading cargo (by removing the grated "lid") but can also be used as a makeshift table - OR for other things, as we now know... 😏

Happy not-halloween-anymore, it's time for me to dig up my dragon silent hill ocs and draw them again!
I've wanted to give Dahlia an actual fullbody design for a while so here's that after literal years - color + bonus doodles + a version with just the lines/shading cause I like how it looks
I do also want to give Pyramid (not pictured) a fullbody design (there's old sketches buried in my stuff somewhere) so stay tuned for that
