on my list of expression portraits i need to eventually make, magdalena has one that is just "norma face (legally distinct)." so i guess it's worth practicing the real thing.

tried to break out of a drawing slump with....this, i guess
other honorable mentions go to zelda: twilight princess, the pokemon mystery dungeon explorers games, pokemon ruby, mabinogi, bdo, RO2: gate of the world, and ace attorney 4 (dont look at me like that). also yearly reminder to those who have not done so to play jack jeanne. preferably in japanese.
yeah ok
he needs his rest

speaking of good music from french movies we also watched le gloire de mon père in that class. i cannot for the life of me remember what it was about (i should probably rewatch that one too...) but i do recall the overture being pretty good. nice strings in this one.

many years ago in my high school french class we watched les choristes... i hadn't seen it in years but i was thinking about it today and decided to give it a rewatch. kind of a comfort food movie... the music is so peaceful to listen to.

ohhh definitely interested to see what you think… been meaning to do the same when i’m done with the other wind. goro miyazaki’s movies are weirdly fascinating to me in that they feel oddly lifeless for ghibli movies. his are the only ones i’ve ever been totally baffled by after watching
i dont even know if this is spoilers or not but i figure it's best to be safe since it just came out. funny game.

YEAH… the concept seems to be “bean sprout bird” so i am hoping they do something fun with the idea and he turns into something that gives him a little more identity rather than “decidueye…2!!!”
the grass bird feels like they made an attempt to chase the perfection that was rowlet and did not quite hit the mark but i'm keeping an eye on him. the water gecko is a little bit "sobble with some self-esteem" to me...
maaan... the game looks good but i'm personally not a fan of those starters... the fire pomeranian is ok. hopefully they will grow on me or their evolutions will be cool.
lrt in honor of pokemon day you Will think about goomy
you ever just think about goomy
anyway that small disappointment aside i did kind of enjoy the "columbo is on a cruise" episode. i thought it was kind of silly that his wife was on the boat with him the whole time but they give her the "ness's dad" treatment. everyone on that ship has seen his wife except you, the viewer
lrt we were watching columbo last night and i was so psyched because robert vaughn (that actor) popped up and i was like "oh my god!!! it's him!!! this must be the combulo episode!!!" BUT it turns out that same actor plays another guy in another episode and i was a little sad.....
that's his name.
been a little bit of a melting popsicle on the sidewalk lately......
no zelda character has ever made such a strong impression on young me as midna and i don't know if any other character ever will. (though rauru and mineru were neat, design-wise.) she definitely influenced my core ideas of like...what i think is cool in a character. one of the best to ever do it...
it is hard for me to place my top 3 zeldas... twilight princess is my favorite for sure (read the manga!!!!!). but 2 and 3 is tougher... playtime-wise probably it'd be OoT and botw... but i really enjoyed wind waker too. one day it might be fun to do a randomizer of OoT.
some practice pieces from a few weeks back i forgot to post...

for real..... it's dire out here......
also uhhhh the recent fashion items are kind of awful. i used to love the class-based or group class-based outfits that fit the lore/style of the classes... now they charge 22 dollars for jeans and a white t-shirt. chai could just go to old navy and buy real jeans with that money!!!!!!!
(shrugs) whatever
i started craving the open world action mmo sandbox... i don't remember anything so i made a new season shai who i am internally referring to as "peeled magdalena." nova looked way too uncanny valley in this engine...... still trying to see if i can make a reasonable one though.
anyway because of this i was wondering if the studio/director were the same for all 3 but interestingly they dont appear to be?? mobygames credits note that cup of tea handled vol. 1 with sam riegel on direction whereas bangzoom did 2 and 3 with tony oliver directing... huh!!
also i should note this isn't even a nostalgia judgment!!! i mostly watched ryan play through it a few years ago!!!!
was talking to ryan about .hack g.u. and i still think the the voice direction in that trilogy went insanely hard. i have played many mid-aughts yuri lowenthal jrpgs in my time but him and EVERYONE in that cast were putting 200% into the big anime yells and dramatic lines. kind of ahead of its time.
