#its not just anime its an entire design

[j0nika]

HOLD UP, since your mom bought Rebellion for you as a birthday present, is today your birthday?!

Also…how was it…? I hope you liked it! (Of course if you have trouble processing what happened, feel free to ask)

That was the best movie

i have ever watched.

i went through all 5 stages of grief within the matter of 5 minutes.

SPOILERS FOR MADOKA MAGICA REBELLION BELOW!

i feel like i have never been so touched by a piece of media in my life

since the movie is so long, im not going to touch on every part, only the ones that were the most important to me

I WAS VERY CONFUSED AT THE BEGINNING. it was a huge surprise that the world had been fake (pretty much), because i was almost positive that was homura in her early stages of time travelling....NO. everything had already happened...

when they had begun talking about how the world was created by a witch, i was confused on how Bebe was relevant, since there had been no previous mention of them...and for them to imagine this ENTIRE WORLD just didnt sit right with me. once they started to mention it a little more, i had immediately known it was homura.

still, i started to get emotional when the world started to burn, and it was revealed that homura really was behind this. homura had been the thing she had sworn not to trust, what she hated with all her heart, trapped in her own cage she was trying to escape from...quite literally. that in itself was pretty beautiful to me :(

after all of that, when homura had pretty much sentenced herself to death to make sure that madoka would not be taken advantage of, madoka ended up trying so hard to save homura...i think that their love for eachother is definitely mutual, even if it seems like homuras might overpower madokas, i know that madoks truly cares about keeping homura safe and even in a moment of sacrifice madoka still just longed to be with homura and didnt want her to end that way, it was such a heartwarming moment

especially when god madoka came down to help homura, i started tearing up, it was really pretty and i had these lighst going on in my room and i was wondering the whole time "what does fantasy mean by people dont like what homura does at the end? everything seems fine right now!"

........

HOMURA

WHAAAAAATTTTT?!???!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

Holy FUCKING SHIT I WAS NOT EXPECTING THAT.

I THINK THAT WAS MY *FAVORITE* PLOT TWIST THAT I HAVE EVER SEEN IN AN ANIME...IT SERIOUSLY BROUGHT OUT ALL THE EMOTIONS IN ME

i was STARING at my tv with my mouth open i could not believe it.....AND WHEN SHE STARTED TO SMILE, I GOT SUPER EXCITED!! I tend to accidently headcanon characters insanity as the smiling insanity, as if they broke, and i had started drawing homura like that but figured it wasnt fitting for her.....DAMN WAS I WRONG!!!!

i LOVE how homura had become an obsessive....not quite lustful, but more...PURELY EVIL DEMON....who had seperated madokas human form and god form to create a madoka who would be able to live happily (i believe?) with an altered memory...GOD, that scene was so POWERFUL, ive been stuck thinking about it all day today....DAMNIT HOMURA, I LOVE YOU EVEN WHEN YOU ARE EVIL!!! And this insane character development just made me love her even more!!!!!!!

then, at the end, when madoka had ended up quickly reuniting with her god form....and the way that homura said that the ribbons look better on madoka....JESUS...i was THIS CLOSE TO CRYING!!! it was almost a bittersweet ending, and that was the best route they couldve chosen...i couldnt tell if i felt sad, at peace.....it was really really beautiful!

HONORABLE MENTIONS:

that scene with the flower field....THE SCENE WITH THE FLOWER FIELD HAD ME NEAR SOBBING...i thought it was gorgeous and the way that they hugged...the thought that this would be one of the last times homura would be able to hear madoka say those heartfelt things to her, just seeing her sit there....it was really blissful :(

THE SCENE WITH THE STATUE TURNING TO TAR!!!! that was AMAZING symbolism, holy shit! i just kinda stared at the tv for a little bit...its as if homuras love was infecting madoka....i love it so much.

i cant quitteee remember this one very well, but when madoka started t-posing and sunk into the ground, becoming this liquid, the homura becoming liquid, then a mini homura smashing it up? I DONT THINK IM REMEMBERING IT RIGHT, but i just know that it kind of hit me, it reminded me of no matter how hard homura had kept trying to save madoka, she kept dying...and all she went through within all of the timelines were ultimately very small and hardly mattered, since in the end, she failed...THATS HOW I SAW IT!

(and also, the fight with mami was AMAZING!!!! The music, the combat, the intensity, oh my god!! and when homura shot herself, and then held it up to mami, i was like WHATS GOING ON?!?!?)

this movie was absoloutely beautiful, touching, intense, i....literally have no words to describe it.

I PROBABLY WOULDVE NEVER GOTTEN TO WATCHING IT IF YOU DIDNT RECCOMEND IT TO ME FANTASY!!! THANK YOU SO SO SO SO SO MUCH...that was *seriously* one of the best experiences of my life, i went through so much in such a little amount of time...the fascinating scenery with the witches and the everything looked amazing as always, this was just a very very special and UNIQUE movie to me and i stayed involved the whole time...I DONT THINK ANYTHING THAT ILL EVER WATCH WILL TOP THAT, HONESTLY.....

thank you SO SO SO SO SO MUCH!!!! I LOVED IT!!! 10000000/10.....it genuinely couldnt have been better!!!!! and it only made me love homura even more!!!!!!!!

(ALSO, TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION, it is not my birthday! my birthday is in 9 days, march 16th! STILL COUNTS AS A BIRTHDAY PRESENT!)

#THANK YOU THANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOU SO SO SO MUCH. That was beautiful #i think my life is complete after watching that #GOD homura is VERY complex...im in love with her character! #best $10.58 or something like that that ive EVER SPENT!!!! #no anime is ever going to bring those emotions out of me #on top of how UNIQUE the animation is #its not just anime its an entire design #everything is so graphic and beautiful and unlike anything ive ever seen #AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING!!!! THANK YOU FANTASY!!!!!

rough painting/sketch?? thing from my characters + environments class! we did a quick prompt for villains based on fears (the one i ended up getting was megalophobia/the fear of things that are Too Big)

weather and severe storms (and tornadoes specifically) have been a special interest of mine since childhood and it just so happened that many of the images you get when searching that fear were tornadoes so 100% used this as an excuse to draw a tornado... person? thing? sure yea. 

 this is real messy and i dont plan on revisiting this anytime soon but it works for what i needed it for!

#froxart #art #digital painting #its like the taurnado from centaurworld but like. a person and not a horse. #that entire sequence lives in my brain both for the fact that its connected to my interest in storms and also. its just beautifully animated #full disclosure i dont consider myself a painter. tried something ab it different here and it certainly works but like not my fav #STILL really happy with this composition though #character design #tornado #cw tornado #ask to tag #undescribed #froxposting

[biblically-accurate-dca]

these are all kind of Bad but this was the best of the bunch so i am posting it :p

i've been trying to draw vanessa more... she is so important to me... sun is here too i guess

#my art #probably wont tag this until later i dont want this in the tags #im mainly posting this because i absolutely need to talk abt something its been bothering me for awhile #im gonna censor this stuff (i REALLY dont want this in the tags) so just bear with me #why doesnt the 🌞&🌜 fandom talk abt v/nessa more. why do we not do that #their entire character is meant to parallel her #there's like a million tiny parallels for them in the games. they were both teased in the hw1 dlc and are both associated with that #🐰 & 🌜's animations (and even their designs) have several similarities to each other #there's a lot of cutscenes and parts of sb where one shows up after the other does.. 🐰 going to the daycare after greggy leaves #🌜 dragging feddy away to parts and service and v/nessa immediately showing up there #the entire 6am ending sequence ??? #literally like the only reason v/nessa isnt more popular is bc like 90% of her character is hidden in unused content #and because 🌞&🌜 are the skinny handsome mysterious and tragic tumblr sexymen #and when they become so isolated from their source all of their parallels to her are used to instead repackage her character into a more #appealing design for everyone to fawn over and consume #.. im being dramatic but AuUGGHTHHF IT BOTHERS ME SO MUCH PLEAAAE3 pleaseee please i love her. #its so hard being in the 'i want to kiss this robot' fandom when you dont actually want to kiss the robot #i just think theyre an interesting character 😭 and also my adhd brain obsesses over them endlessly so im just stuck here HFJSJGJD #anyway these tags got way too long dont read these. im going to bed now

My thoughts on Skirk

With the way Skirk treats and talks about him, its no wonder Tartaglia turned out the way he did. A bright and naive 13 yr old boy with no combat experience falls away from the comfort of his home into a world full of monsters with no sun or safety and the only psuedo-caretaker he has won't even speak to him properly because she says him as too weak to bother with, and after 3 months of fighting his way through hell and losing his humanity, he returns to that home he was longing for, only to find that 3 days have passed since he left and he tells not a single person what happened to him. No wonder he lost his mind down there.

I miss the Skirk that I had made up in my head, the one I patched together from different fic writer and fan artists ideas for her, the one that had that same rambunctious and bloodthirsty personality that Tartaglia inherited, the one that took care of a child the best she knew how while hardening him to survive the abyss' dangers, the one that at least *tried*, because she *wanted too*.

I just feel disappointed, and I think a lot of other people are as well.

I think that, until we see her again, I'm just going to keep pretending that the one in my head is the real one.

#I was always prepared to have to cope with a dissatisfiying visual design #so much so that I was entirely taken aback by the fact that her character was nothing like I had imagined #i think i just desperately wanted tartaglia to have at least one parental figure who did right by him #begging and crying for pulchinella to be a decentish guy to him #even if he did encourage unhealthy behaviors and coping mechanisms while grooming him into a human weapon as a child soldier #I'm really just projecting here #I used to hate tarts the way a wild animal will attack its own reflection in a mirror #Tartaglia #Childe #Skirk #genshin impact #rant #genshin #genshin skirk #genshin tartagalia #genshin childe

Gabimaru flower hair appreciation

Bonus little guys:

#yes he's slowly dying but his design is pretty :> #the flowers in his hair with flames... gahhh i can't wait to see what that will look like animated #its a shame we never got lil chibi flower chobe's like we did for gabimaru #hell's paradise #hell's paradise spoilers #hell's paradise manga spoilers #jigokuraku #jigokuraku spoilers #jigokuraku manga spoilers #gabimaru #gabimaru the hollow #spoilers #mettys posts #metty posts #tw body horror #not entirely sure if one of the flowers is coming from his eye #so i'll tag just in case

not really an ask but MY SIBLING DREW YOUR FAIRY FANART!!!!!!!!!

we both love her

AAAA IT’S FAIRY!!!!!

#mdzs #equineswap au #fanart #fairy #oh my GOD your sibling absolutely nailed the design and took it to a whole new level of princess-cute-core #Please give them a big thank you from me! #I'm especially in love with the shoes. Love the idea of the curved shoes for the Jin Ling and Fairy design. Cannot draw them (yet) #Fairy is the type of girl who walks into starbucks and looks like shes gonna get the pink drink or a very complex order #but she's just there for a puppuccino for her little dog that she delicately carries around everywhere #She loves that little spoiled dog so much <3 Jin Ling is the most pampered creature in this entire AU #They don't have puppuccinos in AU canon but she is definitely only feeding him premium meats. #Oh if horses talk do dogs also talk? I cannot recall if dogs also talk in the MLP Canon... #Ok back from the wiki with some horrific knowledge about the animal sentience situation in Equestria #Dog Lore wise; There is *one* dog in the whole series and its applejack's boarder collie Winona. Spike in EQ girls doesnt count. #Jin Ling cannot talk but he thinks his thoughts very loudly

Once again thinking about the Lupin III Blacksad AU

#lupin iii #lupin the third #blacksad #lupin iii blacksad au #there we go its got a tag now #ive got a few old posts of it but every once in awhile i come back to it so #expect some more #also guys you gotta help me bc i can’t entirely settle on the animals #tho ill probably go for monkey lupin. but jigen could either be goat or lizard #bc i kinda want something a little more unique than just a wolf #jigen daisuke #zenigata #in my old designs i had dogs for jigen fujiko and zenigata so i wanna see if i can change that a bit #zenigatas design is kind of the same tho it just fits for him #also hi im back to posting finally #anthro characters #anthro art #animal art

one of the things that particularly pisses me off about art discussions, either in how nowadays everything has to aim for more and more realism in art styles and even live action to be seen as "real art", and in dismissing more abstract styles of artwork as not "real art" and having no inherent worth, is that they explicitly do not consider realism an art style either. to them, realism is just a given of "good" art, not chosen but rather just default. which i hate, because you CAN pick realism as an intentional style and a purposeful choice to suit a narrative, and all this results in is no one noticing or understanding why you made that choice or why that choice works better than any other possible choice to tell the story you want to tell.

#all the care guide says is 'biomass' #like i like realism because i have a heavy focus on anatomy as a theme #on the body as something innately complex and with a lot of feelings to have about it in all its messy ugly states #im interested in all the complex ways the body intersects with its environment and with culture and with other people #as the outside as contrasting the inside or serving as a strange reflection of it #like im kind of going for a lot of merfolk designs to not be particularly visually different from each other #they have incredibly similar silhouettes and thats on purpose #i want all of their differences and visual traits to be things that they would find more prominent #but we would struggle to pick apart without learning about them deeper and committing these to knowledge #because thats so much been my experience with trying to tell different individuals of the same species of wild animal apart #and i want to use that as a lens to then discuss how humans would then interact with an entirely different sapient species #and what happens when you are someone who experiences that #of someone else not recognizing you as individuals like you do each other #of them not even trying to adapt or learn your differences #what damage it does when this happens to you #and how much the world opens up when someone actually does learn these little differences #but of course #no one else recognizes this because everyone just thinks realism is the default #realism cannot be a purposeful choice done for a reason #realism is just What You Are Supposed To Do and Unevocative Of Deeper Meaning

I have no opinion on Megamind 2. It's an interesting concept, sure, but just that- a concept. I think it could be cool if done right but alas, it will go on the same shelf as a potential sequel to Pacific Rim. Merely a thought experiment and nothing more.

#okay in all actuality though #IT LOOKS SO FUCKING BAD #THE VOICE ACTING RANGES FROM MID TO ACTUALLY TERRIBLE #THE ANIMATION HAS ERRORS IN THE TRAILER ITSELF AND THE CHARACTER DESIGNS ARE ALL OUT OF WACK ALONG WITH THE COLORING #THEY MADE AN ENTIRE SEQUEL AND DIDNT EVEN WATCH TO CONFIRM HIS ORIGIN. WHAT DO YOU MEAN HE HAS AN OLD CREW #ITS JUST A BAD SUPERHERO MOVIE FROM THE LOOKS OF IT. NONE OF THE THEMES OF TOXIC MASCULINITY OR SELF IMPROVEMENT FROM THE ORIGINAL #AND DONT GET ME STARTED ON THE LOOPING FUCKING TRAILER MUSIC #STOP MAKING SOULLESS CASH GRABS OF THINGS I LOVE IM FUCKING BEGGING YOU #megamind #megamind 2 #dreamworks #superheroes #it will simply go in the folder with Pacific Rim Uprising and M Night's ATLA. Things that never existed that we will never speak of #as usual im late to the discussion on things. thats just how i am baybee

[perenlop]

ok i switched to netflix so image is from google but the worst thing jn did actually was redesigning the eggs to look like the games. that was literally like one of the things the anime did that everyone agreed was really cute and cool and accepted as the usual canon, why on EARTH would you ruin that

#like these are just boring! why would you do that! #actually a big issue i have with jn is the pokemon go-ification of it #like. at times this feels less like a gen 8 series and more like a pokemon go anime series #with the raids and the designs and for some reason they want you to think theres a huuuge difference between catching and battling #which yes they’re different but they act like theyre different ideologies and passions. like. the episode where ash and goh fight over whats #whats better- battling or catching #and like. ash. you catch pokemom. goh. you battle pokemon. #its. REALLY not something that should divide you two #ik its just for one episode but its just dumb to me #and i dont take a huuuge issue w this cause i excuse it as goh just being good at finding catch points #but yeah his entire technique being lifted from the go app is kinda cringe #echoed voice #jn lb

[cakesdown]

Having a special interest in a character with an unfortunate design means when i see redesigns that lean into the unfortunate aspects I am fully aware that I'm the only one who is aware of this and I have to bear the knowledge and just keep scrolling because it is not worth it

#kiyos outfit is indeed based off of a fit from an old vis. kei music video. like almost entirely lifted #but a lot of vkei pulls from military outfits for fashion inspo #kiyos outfit at a distance can easily resemble a w.w.2 uniform. the red armband symbolizing a club leader has no place in the outfit #because hes not a club leader #if he had any other outfit the armband would not raise any eyebrows because its anime #but paired with the military adjacent uniform whether intentional or not it is suuuuuch a big accident on the designers part lol #and lore wise kiyo would know this! he is an anthropologist. which could open another can of worms #anyway what im getting at is #i see a lot of designs that really lean heavily into the militaristic design it lends itself to #and yes while the designs look good #its just sort of like kok*chis hat problem times ten #and its like i know a lot of people in this fandom are teenagers and rhe critical thinking braincell is still kicking in #but i see it A LOT in mastermind designs as well #reallt this is a bit of a nonissue but. its something else to keep in mind about kiyo and his design when showing him off to ppl #because ive had more than one non v3/dr fan express initial apprehension at his design for these reasons #its 7:30 in the morning

[luxrayz64]

thinking. about the things I love the most about sonic. and how those have all been almost absent since unleashed. and how obvious it is that sonic team has been fucking terrified of doing anything interesting with their games since. and just. god. god. please, please let sonic frontiers be good. please let it be what I want from this series. please let it be successful. please let it push sonic team to push sonic again. I love these games so much. I want them to be good so badly.

#I love the scale I love the over the top plots and giant eldritch bosses and the gods and aliens and the grandiose adventures #I love the characters I love playing as different characters I love seeing them all interact #I love exploring every nook and cranny of the levels I love finding hidden one ups and special stages and items #I love sonic the hedgehog so much. I want it to feel heartfelt the way it used to #colours and generations and lost world are all so bland. boom tried to be a reboot but it nuked the characters #(nevermind the games barely releasing given the development hell the team went through) #forces was a step in the right direction with its massive cast and massive plot and the villain team #but it fell short in so many ways #banking on nostalgia w ghz and chemical plant and classic sonics whole existence #weak level design and control carried over from colours #the plot falling short - shadow is never fought. chaos is never fought. infinite is kind of boring then dies. zavok is here #none of the supporting cast do anything but talk at you. tails gets his entire sa1 and 2 arc just undone #it could have been good. yknow? it could have been so much MORE. but it's not #the animation is stiff. the cutscenes look bad. everything about the climax of the game. no pre rendered cutscenes. #I need frontiers to be good. I need it to be good and I need it to have a soul. I need it to say something. #I need it to have a reason to exist. #just. god. I watched the kingk 06 video that just dropped. it got me thinking #please be good frontiers please please please be good #espeon cries

[guideaus]

like i think at this point w trigun stampede im way past the open minded stage. im now like what the fuck is going on. literally speechless

#personal #if it got cancelled rn and never aired anything else i'd say the animation is good but the writing makes no sense and designs are 🤢 #like idk its to a point where im like. what is e ven going on #the pacing was originally concerning but its now to a crazy degree catching up. i feel like i cant even well meaningly criticize anymore #if ww does die next ep (which they made a choice to show hes chugging the death juice) i might drop it #all together its like they picked things from trigun and mashed it in as quickly as possible #its just kind of insane tbh. i feel past criticizing little things and more the entire thing is...

[saym0-0]

im spiderman btw guys its pretty cool

i can also do action poses

cool

#spider man: across the spider verse #spider man: atsv #spidersona #persona art #me #god i wish i had spiderman powers #if i could animate i would do a run cycle bc he leaves a lil trail of hot pink hand/footprints that fade after a couple paces #idk why i just think its neat #also this design has been Peer Reviewed ™ #the whole entire group chat (maybe 3 people max) #contributed to this bad boy #woo

Golden Courtyard Ep 2 moments

Yes I’m doing this for every ep; I have a perfectly normal amount of feelings towards these 13 weirdos

h- hello ms. Sakura

KALPAS BEING A MODEL FOR DESIGNER JEANS IS PERHAPS THE EPITOME OF UN-NEEDED BUT VERY WELCOMED HOYOVERSE FAN SERVICE LMAOOO.

  THEY TOOK “KALPASS” AND FUCKING RAN WITH IT DUDE

Pardo is real and she was in a Can suit.   it makes sense tho; love that for her

and I don’t even need to comment on Griseo’s scene, that was comedy gold— THE WAY SU’S EYES OPENED UPON PERCEIVING THE COVER?> stop

ElyEden fans I know we’re thriving, but I haven’t seen anyone talk about SAKURA’s blatant lesbianism in this frame jfdiohjugnsdfh  and I think that’s criminal.

Nah, gay things aside, the camera pan and sequence of them all sleeping was so cute. I live for (not only found family concepts but) situations where characters with wildly different personalities from all walks of life just.   interact together; it’s so refreshing.

and the way everyone comforted Pardo after her nightmare!!! *aggressive table banging*

#Honkai #Honkai Impact #honkai impact 3rd #Golden Courtyard #Golden Courtyard: New Year Wishes in Winter #the ENTIRE first sequence with Kosma revealing he's ALSO never seen Kalpas's face is fucking gold #they're gatekeeping his face from us AND the Flame-Chasers #they ain't gatekeeping his ass tho FGJAUGDFIK #Kalpass #CANONICAL Kalpass #After finishing episode 1 I knew it was kinda inevitable pardo was in the can suit #that's so HoYoverse of them it just makes so much sense; live your best life Pardo! #the sleeping scene might be one of my favorites just because of what it conveys in its simplicity #I'm a sucker for scenes of characters sleeping 'cause that's conventionally when they let their true demeanor show through y'know? #Sakura sleeping on Ellie with her hand on her leg will live rent free in my mind for generations #also that MobiVill during the sleeping sequence lmfao #Hua leaning on Eden ALSO permeates the gay regions of my mind #and I can't get over how good they all look in EVERY FRAME bro the animation and design is so so!
