Top 50 Modern Comic Artists - Mike Mignola
Here’s a little madlib for you, “The Illustrator’s Lament”:
No matter how many ( cool objects, people, or scenarios ) I draw, I will still be a ( self adjective ) ( self noun ) who will never ( fanciful action ).
For instance:
No matter how many tough lady space marines I draw, I will still be a cautious nerd who will never fire an interstellar harpoon.
Kali Ciesemier, mercenary of illustration and harpooner of my heart.
kali you are the master of drawing the most badass ladies
the most badass
what do i have to do to be this woman, there should be a how-to included in this drawing
AHH

C’mon guys, I paint the same as I painted when I was like, fifteen. X’D
Bullshit.

OK COOL she’s really improved a lot! It looked like her painting style, but you guys tend to share artwork/some style things transfer over to each other, so I was a bit confused.
Those are her quick works. She is stupidly good at this, makes my marrow green with envy.
THIS IS REALLY IMPORTANT, GUYS
The folks following me here on Tumblr may or may not know that I work at Six Point Harness animation studio (the folks behind Nickelodeon’s El Tigre, MTV’s Good Vibes, The Drawn Together movie, and more). And you may or may not know that Six Point is home to Ed Skudder and Zack Keller, creators of the Mondo series, Dick Figures. You probably remember it from posting animated gifs of the characters doing funny things on your tumblrs a lot.
The style of Dick Figures is very much about using simple character designs to allow animation quality you wouldn’t normally be able to pull off with a youtube series budget. The people here work very hard on it, and have really made something to be proud of.
Some fans have expressed interest in a Dick Figures movie, so Ed and Zack have decided to take it to kickstarter. Crowd sourcing the movie like this means that they would be able to make it their way, without having to rely on producers who would turn the process into a matter of committee approval and quite likely turn it into something completely different than the creators envision.
Funding this project would be amazing, it would completely revolutionize the options available for the creators of animated features in this day and age.
The kickstarter is asking for $250,000 for a half-hour special, but if we make it to $700,000, we can produce a full hour and a half feature film. Contributing to this kickstarter, or even just spreading the word along means you are personally supporting the livelihood of every person in our studio.
And I cannot stress how much that means to all of us.

THAT WAS MANGO I WISH I COULD DRAW THAT
I actually should go and edit that.
qlockwork asked: Edge
Badass in a nice suit: Edge has a tendency towards suits that would be more fitting of a lawyer. This may come partly from his vanity and partly from his father, who married into an old money family after becoming a successful businessman from more humble route.
Badass Normal: Edge lives in a world filled with cyborgs, superpowered beings, mages, sentai heroes and angels that can punch tank shells out of the air.
He seems to be doing ok.
Spy Drama: Edge is indeed a spy, working undercover to boot. It’s also the future, there are angel refugees from heaven and eldritch abominations are enroute.
Aborted an Elder God: Well, that was basically the plot of the intro comic.

kaiserwilliams asked: Gu
The Speechless: Gu is certainly a silent character, having had her tongue cut out many years ago. Rather than garble unintelligibly, she elects to remain silent.
Old Master: Gu is the youngest old master ever.
Blood Knight: Almost fits Gu to a tee.
In Harms Way: Now I don’t want to ruin the rest of the story!

Because TV Tropes is totally not a sinkhole that will make me unable to leave the computer for hours, I’ll do this. Ask away, and I’ll trope.
Also, the TMI Character Tuesday is still open because yeah if you’ve ever wanted to ask inappropriate stuff now’s your chance.
Omg yes plz *v* This should be fun (though I already regret entering the black hole that is TV Tropes)
Yes. This.
I have a list, if that helps.
