So my work has moved me to a place where I can't even have my phone, and I hate it with a burning passion, I cannot deal without entertainment. But. They gave me a whiteboard. The first thing I drew was some geometric nothing doodle. The SECOND thing I drew was Overlord laughing alone with salad. I was never allowed to take pictures at work period, so I wouldn't have been able to show people even before the move, but I'm still so, so sad that I can't show this to people :(
As promised, the first of many Transformers Armada posts. It's a perfect combination of the animation errors, continuity errors, rainbow particle effects and weirdly sexual design choices (Megatron doesn't just have one gun that represents his rampant manhood, he's got five and they are all attached to his crotch..and they rotate...because you just expect this kind of thing out of a Japanese production.) First up is a 'fight' that's either innocent or the opener for someone's nsfw robot fanfiction. Just close your eyes and imagine the scene as if it had been drawn by Sarah Stone. http://mizushimo.tumblr.com/post/158799316213/megatronus-interruptus-when-things-start-getting
I relearned how to gif in photoshop cc with this lovely thing- I'm not kidding either, this is exactly how the scene went. This is how they chose to show megatron talking without moving his mouth. Spoiler: Megabobblehead large gif This is a music video and they are about to break out into a choreographed dance. Now the tough questions--is that just black paint or is his panel open?
Spoiler: mtmte 55 Ahh, the face of one mech asking another to give him even one single solitary reason to believe that he should finish this day alive. Alternately, the face of a captain watching one of his crewmembers give up, so much so that they're refusing to even let him help them anymore.
ps also incredibly romantic-sappy megatron/terminus porn, because I have the power to roll around in incredibly self-indulgent fluff whenever I can pull the focus together to write it
God, these panels murder me. Their FACES. That they have a whole conversation in one look and auuugh.
So apparently humans made Aequitas and it was (is? I need to check dates) in Florida I have yet to exensively research because mobile is a pain, and I am... otherwise less than happy with the rest of the article that brought it up as an example, but the COMPASS AI was an experiment in predictive functions meant to determine how likely a given criminal was likely to commit another violent crime. Except that, because of the biased data the scientists fed it, COMPASS consistently found poc defendants highly likely to repeat offenses, and "passed" white defendants who went on to repeatedly return to court. I don't think the dates line up properly for it to have actually inspired Aequitas and the failure thereof, but. I think it's interesting!
Ohhh hold on, wait a moment. Is... is that Tailgate? I mean, it's Tailgate. THEORETICALLY. Spoiler: CURSED IMAGE His left forearm looks veiny, augh, I just noticed that bit This picture makes me uncomfortable :(
I'm pretty sure this is the only in-comic picture we have of Tailgate from the Dark Cybertron arc, so you can't prove he didn't look like this, it's canon now, I don't make the rules u_u
Another cursed image, why is phil jimenez allergic to the perfectly pleasing designs everyone else has been using for these pretty robots Spoiler: my pretty bird son is not so pretty :(
They're... they're watching me, I am not okay with this anatomical development. Somebody go cut Tailgate's eyes out, it's the only way to solve this problem Also Whirl's hands practically drag on the ground and his legs are so weird it looks like he doesn't have knees, his proportions hurt me, what did he do to make someone treat him this way? :(
