Worst bank robbers in the history of mankind!
inception is a decent movie but there's so much horror tragedy potential written into its premise and the implications of its worldbuilding and being able to see that and do nothing about it makes me feel deranged
dream technology was developed by the military "so soldiers could practice shooting, stabbing and strangling each other". the only way to escape a dream before it ends is by killing yourself or convincing someone to kill you. you can live entire lifetimes in a dream, only to wake up to the disorientation of realising that only hours have passed in the waking world. prolonged exposure to dream-sharing tech carries the high risk of inducing psychosis to the point that you can no longer tell the difference between dreams and reality. you can carry a "totem" that behaves differently in a dream to counter this, but if anyone else gets their hands on it and figures out how it works, it's game over. dreaming is so addictive that some people sacrifice their waking lives to keep dreaming for longer. people can be hired to break into your mind and take anything they want from it, down to your most intimate parts, and sell them for profit. if that's not paranoia-inducing enough, entering someone else's mind carries the risk of being hunted down and torn to pieces by manifestations of their own psyche in a subconscious act of self-defence that cannot be controlled, because what you are doing is invasive and violent. the premise of the film rests on a superrich man hiring a group of people to fundamentally alter a man's identity because inheriting his father's corporation has the potential to make him a BUSINESS COMPETITOR. the leader of said heist team is so haunted by the suicide of his wife that he (unintentionally) caused by violating her mind to the point of madness that he locks the rest of them into a labyrinth of his own guilt, stalked by the minotaur her vengeful ghost. oh, and on the right cocktail of drugs, you can't wake up from a nightmare, and will instead end up in pure unconstructed unreality, surrounded only by decaying structures built by those who inhabited it before you, whose intentions and regrets might still haunt the landscape like a malevolent physical presence.
and you still have to go to work in the morning!
A companion piece to my baby Jango Concord Dawn festival garb concept + two unfinished Bodie Taylor Alpha-class ARC trooper cadet sketches, a concept for Jaster’s stinky old farm strill (tentatively named Ijaat), a baby Jaster doodle, and an unfinished doodle of Jango while he was enslaved.
I wanted to design a ‘Mand’alor’ version of Baby Jango’s traditional face paint. The pattern on his nose represents mythosaur scales, the jaig eyes represent courage in the face of adversity, the green paint represents his duty to his people, the red paint honors Jaster/his birth family/ancestors & the past, and the white paint represents a new start and the future of his people, and the rest represents the face of a buy’ce.
This is a portfolio project from last year! I'm interested in chapter book illustration jobs, so I mocked up the cover and first five chapters of a childhood favorite, Dealing with Dragons.
Here's another quilt I made for Desert Bus for Hope, this would've been 2021's contribution.
I love Labyrinth so much, so why not make a quilt of the movie poster?
Here are some stats for the Labyrinth Quilt:
Measured roughly 37 x 54.5 inches, about 1600 individual pieces, I believe the smallest one was slightly smaller than a cm. I ended up hand sewing a lot of the crystal ball portion. Also no black was used in the quilt, the dark values were a deep espresso brown.
In retrospect I wish I quilted it better, but meh, what's a girl to do? I still love this one to bits. I should post so of the making of pics too hehe.
@elodieunderglass At NO POINT in this video did I know what was going to happen next
Oh wow. Thank you so much for thinking of me!!

Just a little love for the batch 🥰
All you need in life is a color picker willing to expose you to the unbounded madness we call color vision.
what is even happening here 😨 wheres the circle with the triangle inside we all know and love..
The circle and triangle are a lie we tell ourselves to cope with the ugly reality... Now this-- this is the real deal!
In seriousness, this is oklch.com, a color picker for the OKLCH color model.
There are whole several hour lectures one could take in color science and theory, but to keep it short: the set of colors we can see, the set of colors monitors can display, and the set of colors computers can model are three circles that only somewhat overlap.
In this case, if I wanted this color
but in red, I could just go of Photoshop and move over the hue slider, getting this as a result:
Which is.. acceptable, but not as "bright" and "vibrant" as the green I had. Looking at the graphs in the OKLCH color picker, we can figure out why:
It tells us that a red with the same luminosity and chroma as this green is out of gamut—that is, it cannot be displayed by this monitor.
In this case, you can use the edges of the graph to find the color that is closest to what you want. You can, for example, keep the chroma but sacrifice lightness,
keep the lightness but drop the chroma,
or a bit of both, which is what the common HSV triangles already do.
But I like to know when it happens, y'know?
What if what *I* see as blue, *you* see as a slightly different blue because you're using Chrome instead of Firefox and despite a decade of messing with profiles we STILL can't get this right somehow.
