#but his design is just also fantastic

[monochromatictoad]

I'm happy that Isaac is growing on you <3 I don't know what you've learned about him by far, but I think he's too underrated (no thanks to a certain show that completely changed him and convinced the fandom that he needed to be "fixed")

I gush about Hector a lot nowadays, but Isaac was the first Devil Forgemaster that grew on me. I think he strikes the right balance between being tragic and being a bastard :P and he's just full of personality! He's charming in his own over-the-top way

and yeah he's kind of cringefail. but that's the appeal <3

Everything I know about Isaac is from you! I'm sad we don't have an equivalent of Isaac or Hector in LoS, (though I have some theories about the Acolytes.) I think they would've been so fun for MercurySteam to interpret and put in LoS!

i reblogged some of that barabims persons art but looking at it again today zooming and moving around the image its AI generated with some retouching. i saved an image of joseph last night and what clued me was this weird lump that looks like an ai conglomerated signature that theyve since deleted with an updated image.

structure is inconsistent without seeming human logic or intention,bangs blending with the headband design for example, masses of clothing folds that have no human logic to them. some images have very low resolution, and zooming in on any image shows lots of the image tends to smear and blend together. hands while having the right number of fingers, they dont have logical proportions or positioning when the other parts of the piece are extremely anatomically correct. shading and lighting under closer inspection i very nonsensical in some areas. things that if an artist intentionally stylized i would think nothing of but become very obvious its the work of an AI when compounded with everything else. these are things that come off as amateur mistakes that an artist of that presumed skill level wouldn’t make often, but that a computer that doesnt understand would.

jotaro extra knuckle kujo, giorno weird ear and floating earring. weird giorno earrings the sequel.

hair blending with design in sleeve, etc. these are tells that come with AI art. its been getting better and can do the correct number of fingers and more stylized images, i was even tricked at first glance. but any close scrutiny reveals these things.

#barabim #sorry #an artist posting a large gamut of highly rendered pieces with 0 other internet presence #and stylistic inconsistencies are numerous between pieces #once you start seeing the AI tells they just pile up very quicktl #they can just post a speedpaint if they arent using AI but i doibt they will so #its whatever tho #just thought id let people know #theyre trying to pass themselves off as an actual artist so im worried they might try to make money off of people #also notice how all of the jojo images resemble the jojo characters strongly but are missing a lot of key character design details #because AI cannot be that specific #also the styles while similar do change enough between pieces that they sometimes look to be drawn by different people #just no consistency #that new ceasar image they posted also his shoulder is connected to his neck like lol #the final fantast images are also very AI #ill add to this if people want more proof bc i have a lot to say about that johnny joestar image

Zena's latest design that I've been working on for zir participation in the @just-some-guy-joust !! It's her Generic Work Outfit that she wears to her multiple uninteresting Normal Guy Jobs. Its latest one, and the one that sticks for the longest, is as a server at a small cafe on the shady side of town (it does not have a concept for what "shady" means in this context, either).

(I honestly meant to have this ready by the time the polls started (over a month ago?) but now it can just be propaganda art for her (she's in round 3 right now, teamed up with @cyikess's Levi)!!)

#oc: 💚 #oc art #fun fact this was the first time i considered the white blush and it was frankly a cool as hell idea im very happy with it #art #2024 #i forgot how my own tagging system works. #(/lh) #SHOUT OUT TO LEVI TOO FOR BEING SUPER COOL and also to his creator for drawing the teamup image!! #literally thrilled to be teamed up with a perfect tie in round 2........ levi literally like. he's just a guy that ends up places . #like. this poor guy oh my god. i love him. fantastic character design he needs a break

#life of pi was SO GOOD #the set design the props the lighting design #THE PUPPETS #oh my GOD THE PUPPETS #they were all war-horse level intricate and the puppeteers were so good at making them real animalistic and just #AAAAAAAAAAAAAA #unfortunately the guy playing pi was indisposed after act 1 but his understudy was also fantastic #(I hope hes alright. I did really wish that we could’ve seen him in act 2 he was INCREDIBLE) #(and this role is his professional DEBUT :OO !!) #I’m a bit numb mentally and physically and also exhausted but ohhhhh my god!! it was so good #I’m getting home at midnight =D #and I have school tomorrow :’) #worth it #anyways go see life of pi if you wanna see incredible puppetry and banging set and prop and lighting design and fantastic acting #the puppets are insane #davey rambles

I'm too lazy to illustrate it (plus I think I'd get too caught up in the process LMFAO) but when drawing/adding personal touches to Lif's design I am channeling Lio Fotia Promare for his armor (ESP the Mad Burnish armor) Lewis Mystery Skulls (less aesthetic similarities reflected but like, kinda similar broad chested body type similar vibes and important heart motifs) (heart motif isn't pictured in this Lewis image but if you've seen the animated music vids you get it) and literally just any 2D animated Disney villain who is Shaped and Dramatic (and has a huge fucking cape or coat -- tbh the specific ones I think about are Maleficent and Cruella just from the dramatic/big cape standpoint, purely aesthetic)

(fuck it after a lot of thinking Hades is a good one too)

#no main tags about it but. i need everyone to understand my vision. #ig maleficent is more sleek than i'd ever draw lif but it's about vibes. fucked up dramatic evil vibes. #when it comes to body language i am always imagining him moving around in that dramatic disney villain way too #like i adore the serious art of him that captures his canon very well i adore seeing his severe and threatening side #but to me when i portray him he is just a little campy. #i can't help it LMFAO everything i touch gets a little silly and gay AGSJHAKSKAK #THE FLOURISH. THAT'S WHAT I'M ALWAYS IMAGINING. THE EVIL FLOURISH. #and like v important he's still so serious. and angry and full of grief. a threatening foe and liability as an ally. #someone you love but don't fully trust. #i feel like i. don't always capture the full scope of complexities in my work. too busy staying silly ig LMFAO #fe lif #<- one main tag actually. but only so i can find this later on my blog if i need it 👍 #THINKING THIS OVER AGAIN the reason i gravitate towards maleficent is bc of the Sharpness in her design #like dr facilier/the shadow man could fit v well here too aesthetically and hades thematically esp #but also full disclosure i haven't watched any classic disney movies in years LMFAO #literally was just frantically looking up 'most iconic classic disney villains' to look at their character sheets #bc i was SO hard pressed by the maleficent inspo. i feel like she is the EPITOME of dramatic disney villain #and i happened upon cruella and was like OH FUCK YES BIG FUCKING FUR COAT!!!!!!!!!!!! implementing this forevwr now #pouring over model sheets i almost feel like dr facilier is a bit too flamboyant actually? #like he's too playful actually. fantastic vibes but not quite for lif. #i think hades captures the silliness/exaggerated rage/movementa i think of and cruella also captures this #AND she has the big fur coat. i desperately wanna watch 101 dalmatians now LMAO #just to see how her coat moves and the weight of it. #but also i think maleficent captures the Classic dramatic and severe villain i was also imagining. #she has a lot of seriousness to her too. plus big cape. and drama. ect. #CATEGORY 5 AUTISM MOMENT. I KNOW. I NEED TO STOP THINKING I WANNA DO SALMON RUN

someone take the double-breasted jackets away from this man

if you are a beautiful SEA man with a tiny waist and gorgeous posture that kind of jacket is just a waste of big shoulderpads, and swamps the silhouette

#jungkook #my guess is the extra fabric and bulk in the shoulders gives it a stronger construction for attaching mic packs and things to #also warmer for outdoor stages #like that crystal cascade jacket is fantastic is jyst should be narrower #possibly it was made before jk lost weight from the crazy schedule and being sick etc #but that plaid .. . and even the sequined two-piece in the choreo performance mv #things can be cut to comfortably move in without just being baggy or loose it's just hard to tailor designer or otr for that #really if jk is gonna go to prada and keep ck he needs to get a team doing his stagewear from scratch #like he has the 'jazz' era photos - that style was loose in the legs but trim at the waist to allow all the crazy dancing #so he could adopt a shape like that for the more formal snazzy stages maybe #the shapeless pant legs really do not do any favors for the choreo footwork either #it's better if we can see the leg work clearly and sharply the way it was in old bts routines #like all the footwork in say fire would just be a mess to watch if everyone had those big saggy jeans #that was clearer in some of the dance tktoks - like the moves were obviously less sharp when the legs are less defined

What was the IHNMAIMS video game even trying to do with its ending section

#ihnmaims (1995) spoilers #i have no mouth and i must scream #not jojo related #rambles #it's like... a metaphorical place? you're transported digitally into AM's mind and there's like freud psychology shit? #why do the russian and chinese supercomputers look like bootleg jojo characters?????? #the fact that there's living humans frozen on the moon is a pretty major thing to only actually include at the very end... #there's a lot of weird character inconsistency with the ending too #like how ted is stated to be a conman who lies about his wealth and status but then is stated to be actually affluent and popular #also benny's gayness being erased and ellen implied being into ted hurts me but what are you going to do ig #i would've taken the original vision of there being no good ending and just some endings that are better than others #than shoehorning in a bunch of info at the last minute and making a ''good ending'' that's rushed and confusing #i could make a whole rant about how this ending section and AM getting nerfed in the video game frustrates me tbh #yeah the video game is a very mixed bag to me #it has both things that i like better than in the book and things that really annoy me #what was done with the characters is FANTASTIC. the melodramas were excellent. the exploration into the dystopian future was fascinating #the gameplay is a design mess and a lot of aspects of the story felt annoying and unnecessary #but idk. theres something about the ending in particular that makes it feel less rebellious and interesting and more... #generic? sanitized? whatever it is it hits wrong #i just feel like it could've been... a lot better. it's frustrating because there is great shit here but it flops at the finish line #idk. am i the only one who feels this way #should've probably wrote this in the post instead of leaving it in tags but oh well lmfao #not an ihnmaims blog...... this is a jojo blog.......... #shoe midnight media rambles

drawing is difficult for me and writing is something i’m considerably better at sooooo…

written list of ideas i have for a humanoid design for bellum bc i think im finally zeroing in on something after a few uhhh years of brainstorming

(if you read this and have like. some ideas you want to share or some possible [constructive] criticisms go ahead and share them if you want)

Not actually properly humanoid; he can take on a fully human look but it isn’t his default and requires a bit more energy

Therefore, he usually lacks ears (they’re just. holes), finger or toe nails, a navel, an adam’s apple, or basically any kind of human detail that could be easily overlooked at first glance (maybe leaning into a bit uncanny?). He does have these traits when he actually puts the effort in to pass as human

The traits shared between his usual humanoid form and the more explicitly human form are: an eyepatch over his left eye (he doesn’t have a left eye or eye socket in either form. it’s like one-eyed willy in goonies), yellow hair (actually the same color as link’s), a lack of a nose (effectively like it’s been torn off, just leaving the nostril lines/openings), and a lot of large scars pretty much everywhere (some are just normal looking scars, like one across his face that looks like items from a wound that cost him his nose, while others vaguely resemble the markings on his body when he’s in demon/normal form), so either way he’s going to draw attention

In his usual form (more obviously nonhuman) his left eye is his usual black and orange eye, and he has sharp teeth, but he can switch those to appear more human if he’d like

He’s below the average height and appears to be only slightly muscular, logically more built for flexibility or with the build of a dancer, but his demonic strength remains, though his speed and flexibility is limited by the form he takes

His hair is a mess and mostly short, and if he’s in the more demonic-leaning human form, it’s usually got streaks of black (black is in there in some way, how it appears is still a wip) in all of the yellow

Clothing can vary but most commonly he chooses something loose and casual, he doesn’t particularly value his clothes and doesn’t really have anything to hide and so pick stuff that won’t drag him down or get snagged in a fight, flimsy loose clothes are good

Other times he’ll wear boots and gauntlets and gloves in a more serious context, usually opting for designs and materials similar to what he gives his phantoms, he doesn’t fully lean into the phantom-style of armor or fighting unless he needs to focus on defense, however

In either of his human forms, he’s still capable of fighting (and in his more demonic form he can use his tentacles, the come from his back), and doesn’t so much as have a fighting style as he generally just kills with whatever seems most convenient or entertaining at the time, ranging from creating a weapon for himself to use to just bashing a guy’s skull in with his bare hands

He’s very violent but can talk just fine and can be just about eloquent if he wants but usually leans into being more chaotic and acting the part of a brutal ruffian if the job can be completed using force, so a lot of the time he doesn’t even bother with looking explicitly human most of the time

He greatly prefers his demonic form and uses the human form for specific reasons, and can’t actually use it if he’s too weak

#bellum height is weird bc my idea of a tall/short ph realted character got skewed bad when i decided linebeck is 6’ 8” #now that im writing this out ive realized that im reasoning thst bellum’s human form looks the way it does to lure in prey yknow #he tries to look normal and friendly and unassuming and then he fucking kills you brutally or just by turning you to stone #it’s less like. gijinka or whatever and more just a form he can temporarily take if he wants and half of the time doesnt bother passing #he takes human form to more easily communicate or to directly get info from people or if he wants to do some brawling or whatever #timeline of humanoid bellum’s nose: went from vague nose shape to missing half the nose to just missing the whole nose #bellum having the same hair color as link is something i use to my advantage. he absolutely abuses looking related to link #im mostly having fun with his human design but it is something i need to figure out bc he does use it in a lot of my aus #this is a mess but its fine just wanted to share what ideas i have bc good lord this is hard #its harder to create a design for an existing nonhuman than to just whip one up for an oc obviously but still. man #listen unconsciously assigning 21st century schizoid man as my bellum song was good and bad at the same time #amazing vibes for this character fantastic now i have to work on the now-inherent prog/jazz rock vibes bc that doesnt fit the setting #also mixed dirty little animals in there so now we’ve got this crude and raucous scrappy demon who starts bar fights to bare-handedly kill #this kinda just turned into 'bellum w/ a human form headcanons' but ig its hard to talk abt visuals without. visuals #he changes depending on au cuz its the idea of like. immortal being learning from and adapting to their changing surroundings kinda thing #i think my personal fears abt this stuff is that then bellum comes off as v. like. edgy #also might be a bit of over-designing or whatever but idk???? accepting constructive criticism for a reason #loz #legend of zelda #phantom hourglass #bellum #salty talks #really putting this out there huh. ew. lol. #shoutouts to bellum's human form and my oc damien fletcher for finally getting somewhat stable designs after actual years

tagged by: @elijah-terry Thanks for tagging me!!

rules: tag people you would like to know/catch up with

last song listened to: Last song I listened to (and am currently listening to on repeat lol) is Minimum by Charlie Cunningham! The grip this song has had on me for the past few days is STRONG there's just something about it that scratches my brain right (and fits with blorbos so bonus points)

currently reading: a translated version of Beowulf! I am pretty close to finishing it and I'm really enjoying it! I've always loved the story of Beowulf so its nice to finally sit down and actually read it properly. I've been really struggling with reading for the past few years so it feels so good to actually stick with a book for more than 2 days.

Tagging: Ngl my brain is fried rn so if you're seeing this and you'd like to do it consider yourself tagged!

#thanks for the tag gabe! #i enjoyed doing this lol #im debating on reading the scarlet pimpernel next #yes because of riku LMAO i just think it might help with getting his persona design down fully you know #and im also just generally curious about the book #it does feel fantastic reading again #im reading the seamus heaney translation of beowulf if anyone's curious #hes a fairly famous irish poet that i studied in school and i liked his work so this was a cool find #and yeah ive had that song on repeat for like days now idk why it has such a chokehold on me

[freunwol]

im basically at the beginning of ai but does ota have like.... Any redeeming qualities or is he just a loser weirdo the whole time

#i saw the design and went oh hes just a little guy! and then he opened his mouth and i went oh. ok. #im also trying to get into 13 sentinels which ive heard over n over is fantastic but i...cant seem to get into it #is it like. the beginning is kind of slow and then when it hits it *hits* #idk what it is! bc im intrigued! but its just. #i think the voice acting is all kind of breathy and its a little hard to get past #i dont blame them the dub happening was a miracle but like. u dont have to breathe into the mic guys #bleh. whatever

[i-am-literally-deranged]

Y'know recent conversation has made it occur to me that looking like this 😐 instantly makes me like a character more.

#Call it the Sunny effect #Nageki being calm and generally inexpressive #Hitori having his big expressive moments quite frequently but also very often having these totally unreadable blank neutral faces #especially when moa draws his bird form. It FANTASTIC and I love it #Also. Mob of Mob Psycho 100 fame is my scrunkly and I mentally pet him every day #SEVERAL of my OCs are like this too #The Engineer! Blorbo from my brain Love of my life #It's like a really big deal for him actually. It's plot relevant #He's really expressive with body language but has a completely inexpressive deadpan face #he never emotes with his face at all. One of the reasons why he covers it #Another character I designed #She's somewhat defined by how opaque and unreadable she often is. She also has the deadpan inexpressive face. #She lets her actions speak for her for the most part. I'm a big fan She's very very fun to write for and to draw as well #I have at least two more OCs who are also like this just to a somewhat lesser extent jesus christ #If we include not just neutral expressions but people who have the same expression 95% of the time and they just look sort of uncomfortable #I LOVE drawing those. I can name six of them off the top of my head #Oh god I just remembered one of my oldest OCs ALSO had the neutral expression thing going on and was ALSO considered 'inscrutable' #I Have A Problem #Also Diluc Genshin Impact and his One (1) expression being one of the characters I talk about most often #I just LOVE a neutral inexpressive little guy Huh?
