Some drawings for my new DnD PC, a half troll named Nellie! Her dad was from the human world and went through a portal to get to the fantasy world, wherein he met a tavern woman named Francheska and eventually stole her from her goblin husband, earning Nellie a curse from birth :>
At 20 yrs old shes about 7'5, but due to her half troll nature shell slowly get bigger the older she gets.
She also has an enduring hunger which has her nibbling on anything she can get her hands on- that is when shes not fighting. She also has a relatively rational fear of fire, seeing as it's the one thing she cant regenerate from.

do you guys know about the match figures from the match commercial “Matches: an appeal” ? Do they live in toon town or somewhere else? If its the former, What are they like in the neighborhood?
Thank you for the question,
Matches: an appeal goes way back. Even before my time, and in fact, even before the time of the living toon. It wasn't until around 1908 when J. Stuart Blackton would team up with a group of students, and with advice from Nikola Tesla, create the first "Living Light."
Tumblr media
There were a lot of failed attempts, but eventually they created the first walk around toon. A squiggly bundle of bright lines they called Lester Light. He couldn't talk, or really interact with much. Honestly, he was actually mindless and moved around by his creators. He was like a bundle of connected electricity in the form of a tiny clown, but he was a start to us. Light and electricity that would soon carry ink and paint like magnets and hold all of it together to create a walking talking character. But that's probably enough of the history lesson.
The answer to your question is unfortunately no, the matches are not around. At least not in the same way as most toons today. They may be in a desk somewhere, or hopefully, in a museum.
Thank you so much for the question!
Doris.

Experimental Animation Workshop
The workshop this week in Experimental Animation with @ysweeneylsad we were introduced to a animation. The focus was on non-traditional hand-drawn animation but on exploring animation in other forms.
For my work, I took inspiration from William Kentridge's charcoal animation series,
youtube
The chalk animation 'Humorous Phases of Funny Faces' by James Stuart Blackton,
youtube
and Caroline Leaf's sand animations.
youtube
For practise during the workshop I made a small animation of a house collapsing based off my Disrupt project.

Mako: The Jaws of Death (The Jaws of Death, 1976)
"The old man told me that the inlet was a very special place where he went to give sacrifice to their shark god. His people made a living from the sea. They could only survive through the good graces of the most powerful force they knew: the shark. I had done what no man had dared to try, and by their sparing my life, and killing those who would've killed me, I became a member of the shark clan. So, in return for my life, as long as I wear my medallion, I'll find friends everywhere amongst the sharks."

Review: Sly Cooper and the Thievius Raccoonus (2002)
Tumblr media
Sly Cooper and the Thievius Raccoonus is one of those classic PS2 platformers that I had never actually played up until now. My first Sly game started at Sly 2: Band of Thieves.
I kind of went into this game expecting it to be not all that great just basing it off of some small bit of gameplay I had seen a few years ago, but I was pleasantly surprised. I went into it knowing that it plays somewhat differently than Sly 2, but I wasn't sure how different. This game plays like your more typical platformers, think Crash or Spyro, whereas Sly 2 is almost more mission-based. I really enjoyed that.
The level design in the game, for the most part, is good. I had a great time in the platforming levels. But because this is a platformer game in the early 2000s you know they can't just have a platformer game that consists of only platforming levels and that's where the horrible levels come in. There are a few different types of levels in this game other than platforming. You have your obvious turret levels, driving levels, twin-stick shooters, and boss fights. And almost all of them are horrible.
The driving missions involve you racing the van as Murray around a track three times to win a key. The controls are incredibly slippery and feel awful to use. To make it worse these are mandatory to progress. There are only a couple turret sections, but they involve you leading Murray to the end of a level and shooting any enemy that comes near him. Not the worse turret levels I've played, but a turret section is still a turret section. The twin-twin stick shooter levels have a few versions to them. The last one involves Bently "hacking" minigame which is improved upon in the next game. The first one involves you shooting 40 crabs to keep them from taking any chests. Annoying, boring, and just not fun.
The bosses. I think I really only enjoyed a single boss fight and that was the one against the Panda King. Maybe that's common since Panda Kind made a return in Sly 3. I genuinely felt like all of the bosses were poorly designed. I honestly have no idea how to beat Muggshot if you don't have the roll ability, something you unlock by finding clues throughout the levels. I say that because he shoots you almost the second he sees you and it's seemingly impossible to dodge without the roll. Clockwerk, while not broken by any means, was just another turret section, but this time with a jetpack. Not to mention he was one of the easiest bosses in the entire game.
I will say though, even though I didn't enjoy the boss fights, I really did enjoy each one of the characters. Except for Clockwerk. Now this is not the fault of the writers at Suckerpunch, this is all personal, but I honestly believe that this game ruined what I had always seen Clockwerk to be. As I said earlier, my first Sly game was Sly 2. In that game Clockwerk was not a character with a voice, he was purely just a character that was killed in the last game, and talked about as this horrible, intimidating thing that killed Sly's parents. You need to get back all the Clockwerk parts because in the wrong hands they can do horrible damage just because of how horrible Clockwerk is. He's the character that, unintentionally, paralyzed Bently So I've always seen Clockwerk as this intimidating monster that's been around forever. And then I get to the final level of this game only for him to sound the way he does, act the way he does, and genuinely ruin all expectations I ever had for him. Maybe I'm being too unfair, but that's just how I felt toward him.
Tumblr media
Either way with all that being said I did think that the game was great. There are a few things that really don't hold up, but the platforming is still great, and for the most part all the characters are great. The music, while not the iconic jazz we get in Sly 2, it's still great.

Mary Mallory: Hollywood Heights -- ‘The Film Parade’
Note: This is an encore post from 2012. Beginning his career as a journalist in the late 1880s, J. Stuart Blackton is today recognized as one of the American film industry’s first pioneers.   He founded Vitagraph in 1896 along with Albert E. Smith and W. T. Rock, one of the first early production companies. Using simple props, they concocted films with fake footage as Spanish American War…
