Day 11 - Sea Scum

All of god's funny little creatures are precious to me 🦀🦞🐡🦑🐚🪸

A traditional art piece using a palette of deep yellows, oranges, and reds on a black background. The piece depicts a woman sitting on the ground with her legs crossed over, clutching to her chest starfishes and sea cucumbers of varying shades. Her face is covered with barnacles. Her skin is orangey yellow and her hair is dark red and flowing. Her eyes are sparkly and piercing blue.

I don't know what I love more about this.

The fact that this feels like a Yoshitaka Amano illustration brought to life or that the fluidity of the animation accompanied by the music provides something of great elegance to how this looks.

I know right. Any illustration that depicts Death riding a horse always has some fantastical element to it which I find quite alluring.

I dig it, everything looks so soft like a marshmallow.

Just perfect 👏

This panel is "Be strong enough to be gentle" in physical form.

It's everything that Peter Cullen's brother Larry told him when he went to audition for the role of Optimus Prime & knowing that it puts the idea of who Optimus is as a character to the surface in the most beautiful way possible.

The ending of one arc in Transformers.

The beginning of another....

People got really bent out of shape and threw a tantrum at Genndy Tartakovsky for making Fixed, suddenly he comes back on top with this & just like before everything falls into place.

So yeah, this looks awesome and I'm excited for it.

Catsuka @catsuka.bsky.social · 1d

First look at "Primal" Season 3 (by Genndy Tartakovsky).
Coming January 2026 on Adult Swim.

Travel more.

The more you learn about the world and the more you take in based on wherever you go will always help you expand your horizons.

Because the more you see of the world the more you begin to realize what's out there, more importantly you'll feel confident and happier exploring.

Those who are 35+, what advice do you have for people just entering their 30s?

As we should and we will.

No ifs, ands or buts.

Sami Sadek @skullgrin140.bsky.social · 1d

Agreed. It's thanks to the likes of Corona & even more so to Johnson who really kicked all of us off that gave Skybound's run a really good start.

I'm hoping that the two of them might come back again in the future for more Transformers comics, but I can't wait to see what Dan Mora does.

The amount of red throughout this really brings this to life!

If I had a pound every time this asinine metaphor was thrown in my face, I'd buy a house with that money.

For proper understanding

1. Examples of tools.
2. What the term "tool" means.

But more than that, tools require some form of grip to guide, control & direct them, none of that applies to AI

If you took the sound of loud, skin-crawlingly uncomfortable noises of someone taking a wet, constipated shit along with someone vomiting in the toilet it, it would be phrases like "AI is here to stay" or "adapt or die".

Whenever I think of someone saying these phrases I'm just gonna think of that

Sami Sadek @skullgrin140.bsky.social · 2d

It works. I imagine as if the red parts of her are in fact her own muscular system & what's left of the skin is at the bottom.

So I'm interpreting this differently but it's very good.

Sami Sadek @skullgrin140.bsky.social · 2d

Super excited to get back into this series again, more importantly I had to get @hinomars19.bsky.social's cover just because.

The covers are sublime, the pose is sensual. Beautiful job Grace.

I really like your cardigan.

A show about boring wankers sitting around all day talking about business transactions is not an ideal way to spend time.

It's a case study on how to not live life and how just to be as dull and uninteresting as a plank of wood.

Sami Sadek @skullgrin140.bsky.social · 2d

Same. I miss what he represents as a creative but I also miss just how down to earth and so insightful he was in the interviews he gave.

Sami Sadek @skullgrin140.bsky.social · 2d

The classic Fallout games always had something of a horror foot to them which is why the tone of the first one featured mutants and characters like The Master which is deeply horrifying stuff, after the second one a lot of that tone began to fell away once the games became mainstream.

Sami Sadek @skullgrin140.bsky.social · 2d

The world isn't ready to lose the likes of Dolly Parton, especially given the current state we're in right now we could use a little bit of her optimism right now so it's good to know she's doing okay!
