Steven gets a hold of a magical time travel device and does what any kid would do - he uses it to make jokes. But toying with magic draws trouble to his sleepy beach town and Steven has to step up and save the day - with more jokes.

Go watch Steven Universe, guys! It’s great!

Ok so, me and my friend went and explored this old abandoned christian church hospital. Lemme tell ya, I almost didn’t go in. It’s that freaky. The bottom 2 floors are completely pitch black because the windows and doors are cemented up. But we carried on and I’m glad we did. Looking down the elevator shaft was terrifying. Way more scarier when you’re there let me tell ya. - By Rantar

Shadow of the Colossus Concept (personal project)

by Juliana Ouyang

This series of images by Juliana done for a school project depicts her vision of a Shadow of the Colossus v 2.0. The images depict a heroine, who goes on a journey to prevent the impending doom of her village at the hands of the colossi by slaying them with an ancient sword.

The culture of the heroine hails from is aesthetically inspired from the Ainu culture, with her garments adorning the intricate embroidery in the Ainu style, who believe they to help protect against spirits. This is a slight change from the original game which seems to have been heavily inspired by culture and setting of ancient Central Asia and the Eurasian steppes.

Unlike Wander, the hero of the original game, the unnamed heroine for Juliana’s concept opts to wield dual axes as oppose to a sword for her weapon of choice - though she does make use of a steed like the original protagonist and will also, at some point, make use of an “ancient sword”.

Her journey is intended to see her travel to an overgrown temple, a cave, a lake as well as other locales on her hunt for the colossi, with the monochrome lime tint maintained throughout.

>The final colossus is depicted to be an especially massive four legged creature, somewhat resembling an elephant. It’s extra large size is reasoned to be due to its age in the story, with it being encountered while on its way to its birthplace to die.

mrpunchinello:

A reference for artists. This applies mainly to human blood, or any other iron-based red blood.

Blood does dry red - but it does not stay that way for long. Due to the blood decomposing and the iron in the blood oxidizing, it quickly turns brown. I know it’s an easier visual cue to have old dry blood look red, but it simply is not accurate.

As well, blood does not dilute pink, but instead a sort of yellowish orange due to the yellow color of blood plasma. This causes blood stains to look yellow, too, and blood soaking into a particularly absorbent fabric will also have yellow areas.

Blood almost never looks pink unless the lighting of the image would turn any yellowish hues more pinkish-orange. It does occasionally look almost purple-black, but pretty much never under flash photography, the lighting needs to lean toward blue, and there needs to be a good volume generally.

Blood can also almost look like foamy deep red paint when there’s a considerably large amount of it, but due to my currently upset stomach (unrelated to the topic at hand or pictures) and the nature of photos requiring that much blood, I’m not providing reference.

The best way to find reference of real blood, honestly, is to look up crime photography and get on gore sites like bestgore.com. Don’t just search for blood in Google Image Search because most of your results are going to be stage blood which is almost never completely realistic looking.

Take some liberty with it because photography really never does it complete justice, but try to steer clear of pink blood and bright red, old dry blood, yeah?

another way to look up gobs of blood is to search ‘slaughterhouse floor’ or just pictures of abattoirs and slaughterhouses in general, or look up things like deer processing, game processing, etc

i know everyone hates reddit but http://reddit.com/r/MorbidReality/ is better than bestgore imo, since it’s much more clearly labeled and respectful (if bestgore is the site i’m thinking of it’s full of racist and sexist shit too)

Reblogging for EXCELLENT ADVICE.

Yeah I used bestgore because it was pretty much the first one I could remember off the top of my head and I was way too nauseous to go looking for anything else at the time. The writer(s?) for the site are enormous try-hard douchebags and your suggestions are superior.

idiacanthidae:

Here’s a six page comic I put together as part of a final presentation for my perspective theory class! In which Reggie ventures into Emily’s forest and is introduced to some tiger bears. It’s not quite a complete story, but the point was more to show what finished artwork for a graphic novel might look like. I’d say it was a success!! :’D

Maijishan Grottoes.

The Maijishan Grottoes are a series of 194 caves cut in the side of the hill of Majishan in Tianshui, Gansu Province, northwest China. This example of rock cut architecture contains over 7,200 Buddhist sculptures and over 1,000 square meters of murals. Construction began in the Later Qin era (384-417 CE).
