We're reading Frankenstein in my college lit class and the topic of the creature's appearance came up. We were arguing about whether or not he was truly hideous. Some of us thought he looked relatively normal, but with scary eyes and some scarring while others thought he looked more like your stereotypical zombie.
My professor had this to say about the monster's appearance:
"Imagine the most handsome man you can think of. Someone who is well known for being conventionally attractive. That man is now dead, and his head is carefully sewn onto another dead man's torso. All his new body parts are proportionate, but his skin- which has been decaying for who knows how long- has lost all its luster and turned to a yellowish tint. His watery eyes are an unnatural shade of yellow. And he's towering over you at 8ft tall. Is he still handsome?"
There's another scene at Nojiko's hut where she says that Nami is "a thief with no conscience. And when there's no more left to take she leaves and doesn't turn back." As she says this you can see Zoro looking down with an expression of... disappointment. Like deep down he was hoping Luffy would be proven right about Nami's character, but Nojiko's words just further confirm his suspicions.
Then Nojiko says something that makes him look up: "My sister doesn't have any friends."
Those were the last words Zoro said to Nami before his duel with Mihawk. This does two things 1) it shows Zoro (and the audience) that Nami wasn't lying during their drinking game at Baratie when she said she didn't have any friends, 2) it makes him feel guilty.
Because of my last video, I've been thinking a lot about this moment, about Zoro's little step back when Nami sees them for the first time since the betrayal, and I wonder if it was something written in the script or if Mackenyu (or another person like the director or the writers during filming) came up with it on the spot. Because I really love it.
I mean, the others were there when Nami's betrayal takes place but Zoro doesn't see it, Luffy has to tell him what happened. So this is the first time they see each other since he directly hurt her with her own words. Since he used her own vulnerability against her just to get her to leave him alone.
So the fact that he is almost intimidated by her when they see each other again after the absolute disaster that was their last conversation (and without him knowing what she has been doing for him during his convalescence), is a great detail to me.
It's him!!! ❤️
Pro tip sometimes if a drawing just ain’t hitting right you can add a buttload of effects layers on top until it’s adequate 😌
Really funny to watch dude bros struggle to explain how Agatha All Along is bad without being overtly homophobic, sexist, or racist.
POV you drew this in 2022 after discovering Panic! at the Disco because you couldn't stop thinking about that part in the Emperor's New Clothes music video where his spine cracked so hard it altered your brain chemistry:
More of Adam and Evelyn! Loved drawing out these cute little interactions between them. It gave me time to work on their difference in size and hone in on facial features. Hope you guys like them!
conan was such a good host. he’s so tuned in to showbiz in a way the jimmies aren’t, and he’s just so damn charming and likable. would like to see him host again in the future, although i am hoping for a mulaney hosting gig too.
Nevermind I'm full of rage and I want to break a man in half. The world is cruel and unfair but that won't stop me from going at it with claws out and screaming defiance.
I've decided not to engage with the outside world anymore. If you need me I will be curled up in a ball in my nest hibernating. Wake me up in about 4 years when the tides may turn again. I'll be ready.
This is such a cool idea! Now I'm imagining a pop up book based on Victor's research notes with anatomical drawings and scribbled ravings in the margins!
Guys heres my attempt at a pop up book

Recently got an iPad air and downloaded Procreate during Christmas! I feel confident enough to post one of my new favorite pieces of art: Iñaki Godoy as Monkey D. Luffy! I'm still learning how to use Procreate so expect an improvement in quality in the future.
Listen I completely understand why people skip the filler in One Piece because it’s already so long, but then you miss gems like Zoro getting forcibly adopted and bullied by a gaggle of orphans for an entire episode
