Gladnis is Gladiolus x Ignis from Final Fantasy XV. ShroudRose are ocs. Shroud is my oc while Rose belongs to Rosie. And then ofc I won’t forget to draw my main ocs Veil & Liang together (in fantasy au version). Sad I couldn’t do full illustrations at that time due to tired from work. Sketch it is.
Lastly I was learning drawing patterns & motifs for Veil! Tho that won’t be come into fruition since I have to cut corners for doing comic.
InX-Men, the ways that Patrick Stewart’s Xavier and Ian McKellen’s Magneto play chess mirrors their overall strategies. Magneto (clear pieces) is willing to sacrifice his pawns for the sake of victory, while Xavier (frosted pieces) uses and protects them as much as possible.
InX-Men The Last Stand, Magneto even says to Pyro “in chess the pawns go first” as he directs the less powerful mutants in the first wave of attack against the humans and X-Men
Barry Jenkins’ near perfect film Moonlight did not need anything but faces and lyrics to engulf its viewer into some jaw dropping and mind boggling scenes. It tells us a story of a young, black, gay, poor and lonely kid, Chiron, living in Miami. The film pans over three parts, with three actors playing Chiron in his different stages of life. It is a character study of a boy who is trying to find his place in a world which has been nothing but ignorant to him. The films’ complex themes of sexuality, family and masculinity are portrayed by the characters with such care and precision. It puts us into a very difficult world and tries to question our whole social structure. Jenkins use faces and water to talk with the viewers about the evolution of Chiron from a child to a man. Water acts as a symbol for transformation and freedom. Whereas moonlight is shown as something under which, one can discover their true identity. The concept of masculinity is vital to the film’s exploration of Chiron’s identity and the societal forces that shape it. Jenkins gives us the visual proof of ‘some things are better left unsaid’. He uses close ups in this movie to invite us into these characters’ world. Juan(a drug dealer) and Kevin(Chiron’s friend) both presents Chiron with examples of standing up for oneself. When faced with the prospect of answering who are we against the grim need for change, personal acceptance seems like the only solution.
I always love a piece of art that emphasizes our traditional and cultural beliefs and poses questions that we never even cared to consider.
It is a film that anyone can watch without any specificity and it will leave them touched.
