Personally, I also think TRON Uprising also had that sort of feel, but what I liked most about that series was that it took place entirely in the Grid. I wish Disney wasn't so afraid of letting their IPs be weird and stylistic like TRON was initially...

I think what's impressive about TRON is that, visually, it's still so much more interesting than any of it's sequels. It's crazy that they tried update this digital world by making it as 'realistically rendered' as possible. It's a complete misunderstanding of the original's charm.

Meet the Decepticon Earth Recon squadron! Headed by Air Commander Starscream, it's a small elite group of bots featuring - wait is that a child #bemusedart #transformers #maccadam #tfdowntoearth

A group of three Transformers character designs on a grey background. The leftmost design is an OC called Airdrop, a green Chinook helicopter who has a lot of Top Gun vibes and a prosthetic leg. The middle design is a tiny seeker named Bangsnap, who has caution tape on their wings and looks like they're wearing an oversized jacket. The third design is of a fan version of Starscream, with a lithe, birdlike feel and his wings draped behind him to resemble a cape.

Some Transformers: Down to Earth character designs! #bemusedart #transformers #maccadam

A digital illustration of four Cybertronian characters. On the left is Airdrop, a helicopter whose design is reminiscent of Top Gun and military clothing. He's got a red visor and green/brown plating, with a prosthetic right leg below the knee. Next is Euphoria, a TRON light cycle whose whole aesthetic is eighties hero incarnate. Their color palette is a lot of tealish blue and white, with a bit of black for pop. The third is Slipcast, a Vespa scooter. Her design is inspired by the seventies, with bell bottom-like legs and warm oranges, complimented by warm blues. The final design is Depthworks, made by aspendistrict. She's a cabover truck, colored in dusty purplish-browns and greys, with a jumpsuit sort of look and a trailer tail. Airdrop and Depthworks are of comparable height, while Euphoria is about half of their size, and Slipcast is closer to a third.

Autism does not need to be cured! It's the rest of society that needs to be more accommodating!! Neurodivergence and disabilities cause suffering only because we have so little understanding or support. Treating it as something "broken" or "wrong" only enforces that, please just help people instead.

Just encountered a fake captcha on a site so uh, watch out, if you "fail" a captcha and it tells you to press windows plus r and then ctrl plus v that's some shady shit that's gonna run something on your computer so don't do that. Be aware that's a thing that exists to try and trick you.

[WIP] this is getting out of hand #bemusedart #digitalart

A work in progress of a detailed cityscape, with tall skyscrapers and large red mechanical "flowers" blooming over top of the city skyline. Most of the buildings are still sketches, but some are colored in with blues and some hints of green.

Wanna echo this sentiment. It’s okay to hop off and disengage with the world for a bit.

It’s NECESSARY for your mental health.

Take tome for yourself, okay?

For ppl that are genuinely empathetic or sensitive to others’ energies please take some time for yourself that *doesn’t* involve browsing social media. Especially engagement sites like this one. Nothing is normal and doom scrolling is a very real and unhealthy thing.

Find or make other outlets.

As you cancel streaming services, here is a casual reminder that only 16% of Americans read for pleasure anymore, and your local library has hundreds or thousands of books you haven't read.

They would love to see you stop by and renew your library card.
