I personally (as a Luke apologist), LOVED how percy talked in the second episode regarding the gods and their role as parents.
Most notably with the night time scène where percy burnt the blue candy as an offering to his mom (note how it was to his mother, because she's the one he wanted to talk to and not his father who he, at that point still didn't know). In that specific scène Percy literally voices what Luke stands behind. His resentment towards a father, who is alive and well, and very powerful, who didn't come to help him or his mother who he supposedly should have loved.
Percy talks to his mother about how he will bring the Gods down from their high and mighty places so they can be equal. It's literally everything Luke stands behind and I love how that scène showed that in the earliest moments Percy spend at the camp, he was actually very close to following down the path Luke ended up on.
I remember often feeling like maybe I read the books wrong, or interpreted Luke and his situation wrong. I've always been very convinced that Percy and Luke were two sides of the same coin, they both could've ended up on each other's paths. And the only reason why Luke was deemed the evil bad guys, was literally just because external factors manipulated him into thinking there was only one way, I've always seen Luke as more of a victem than an actual perpetrator (making me love the moments in the books that compared Percy and Luke's points, showing how they basically felt the exact same towards the gods). But from some of the fans I always felt this intense hatred and just general distain towards Luke, almost writing him off as just a bad guy that no one should like, when there is so much depth to him as an antagonist.
That made the scène of Percy, using a method to pray to the gods, to pray to his mother all while condemning the gods, so powerful to me, you could've literally swapped Percy and Luke in that scène and it wouldn't have made a difference (considering if Luke's mom was still sane like Sally is, btw on that note image how easily percy would've turned into the antagonist if his dad dared to do to Sally as what Hermes did to May, just saying).
Anyway this was an analysis of something that had always been on my mind, and even more so after that second episode, it felt like it really confirmed to me that Luke really is a subject to his enviorment, because how can Luke and Percy have the same goals, but can only one of them be called a hero. I'm so happy to have seen it reflected to perfectly in the series, that when I saw it, and I heard that music swell up in the background, it stuck with me the entire day and I just had to put it down, so thank you to anyone that read this far, I appreciate your interest in my rant about how Luke is actually very tragic and I love him hahahanfndnfndnd
I finally finished my first year animated movie.
My first year animated film for the HKU about a little kid chasing dreams~!
I had roughly 8 weeks to work on this animation, all the backgrounds are handpainted with various materials and the animations were made using TVpaint.
Audio Voice overs were done by myself and the music is a Rapunzel cover done by the lovely Sarah Frances listen to it here; • Theme to Barbie a...
Thank you for watching~!
Out in the desert all on his own🏜
Could you explain the ideas behind your Eeveelution designs? Some are pretty obvious, but others like Rock, Ground, and Fighting, they have a clear look but I'm not really sure what it's going for.
Of course!!! I understand that those types weren't very on the nose 😅
Starting off for ground and rock; I personally am someone who always confuses the two types, so I thought making them a pair would actually be a good match up, kind of like minum and plusle, so ground is supposed to represent an Egyptian sphinx, and has blue greenish tones to complement it, while ground is more focused to look like an Egyptian God with red tones for highlights, since reds are tone opposite to green!
Then for fighting: the fighting type was a real challenge, for most of these I took inspiration from other Pokémon within a type group, but fighting Pokémon are 90% humanoids with very strong arms, and that was a real challenge to apply to an eeveelution, after a ton of trial and error, I decided to make the tail like the arms, so I gave them the shape of hands, which it van use to fight, along with other fighting attributes, like bandages and face fluff that look like a mask, that other fighting types have as well. It's also the only one I put on its hind legs, since so many fighting types are bipedal, I thought it would aid to the sillhoutte of a fighter!
I think besides that most others are pretty on the nose!
The poison type; I based off of the Dilophosaurus from Jurassic park
The dragon type; I took inspiration from celtic dragons
The ghost type; is based off of Japanese wandering spirits
The bug type; I based off of moths, I did that because for bugs I too often see Pokémon make them look creepy or nasty and I felt moths are long overdue for being put in the spotlight (pun not intended) because of how beautiful and fluffy they really are!
Flying type; is the one I was laziest on haha, don't tell anyone, but it's just a buncha wings fkdmfmdm
And steel; is armored with spikes that could resemble coggs!!!
Another Adam Warlock Sketch dump hihihi
(I'm having a hyper fixation like you wouldn't believe 😭)
HMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!
This is how Rick wrote an average day in the Argo after Nico joined...
A simple vampire character design for a small animation I'm working on,
Along with an animation test of a previous design option, which was a bit more detailed colors and design.
I toned it down since the extra detail demanded too much extra time and effort for what I'm trying to achieve 🔥💗🦇
Made some small redesigns for my OC's <3
Started animating!
Working hard for my first year animated final film about a child that chases the northern lights! 💪🔥
