voodoo-otter replied to your post: Proposition: Kratos is a fairly unique fixture in…
I was under the impression that unrestrained rage was considered the only emotion acceptable for a manly man to express, making Kratos more like the Platonic ideal than some weird outlier.Almost unilaterally action dudes are just unaffected and above it all. They’ll usually get a crowning moment of unrestrained rage in the finale, but that’s like the first time Goku goes super Saiyan or something, it’s the finishing move, the “you wouldn’t like me when I’m angry” sting. Otherwise they’re generally sunglasses-wearing unaffected emotional robots.
Kratos, on the other hand, is like… completely incapacitated by emotions 100% of the time, he is firing on all cylinders for the duration of just about any given God of War game, which will usually end with him raging himself out and making a futile attempt at suicide. His model generally varies between “maximum angry”
and “Whoops we had nowhere else to go and now we have to crank it up to 11”
He’s just this perpetual tornado of I AM SO ANGRY AND SAD PLEASE JUST LET IT BE OVER.
That is the story of God of War.

RSSSo I made a thing today! Cost less than five bucks and only took about twenty minutes! It was super fun to do and I made one for my friend Tara as well! On the back of the neck it says “UNACCEPTABLE” if you can’t read it with the wrinkle in the way. I will definitely be doing more Adventure Time tshirts in the future!
Hard to tell which is the favorite. Thumbs up, melspontaneus.
Playing with AT characters
I want to make these. So bad.
A Glimpse of Hell - Stunning Shots of an Active Volcano
Two Kyrgyzstan-based photographers, Andrew and Luda, trekked to the Kamchatka Peninsula in Russia where the volcano complex known as Tolbachik was in active eruption. Among the numerous hellish vistas photographed by the team was this deep volcanic cave that offered a glimpse of what it might look like below the Earth’s crust.
beautiful.
Between the crust and the mantle, there is an area that is not quite rock and not quite magma. My geology professor described it as “similar to play-dough” because of how malleable it is. Most of this kind of magma is generated when ocean floor is shoved underneath another plate and the water comes into contact with this stuff. The major cause of most volcanoes.
On a dark and stormy Friday, way back in the year 1492, a young lad by the name of Jesus Marvin Christ was preparing for his execution. He was to be hung on a crucifix until the life drained from his body.
Don’t worry, things get happier… right after the whipping part. And the part where they mock him and give him a crown of thorns. And the part where he had to carry his cross up a big hill. And the part where they gave him putrid wine and Jesus was like, “nah, I don’t drink.” Then there was the part where they jabbed him with a spear. And of course there was the whole dying thing.
They called this day “Good Friday” …because of course they did.
Skip ahead, skip ahead… here are the happy bits…
Sunday came. Jesus’ body was just laying in a tomb, being all dead and stuff. Jesus and God were sitting up in heaven watching football. Jesus didn’t know a thing about football and kept asking God annoying questions.
“Why do they call it a football? They barely use their feet. And aren’t balls round? They should call it a ‘mini hand-zeppelin’ or something.”
God couldn’t take it anymore, so he decided it was time to resurrect Jesus back to Earth. Now a lot of people like to joke and say that because Jesus rose from the dead, he must be a zombie. Not true. God filled his innards with robot parts and downloaded his consciousness into a 50 petabyte holographic storage device located in the left buttcheek. I know, the head would have been the logical place to put the consciousness, but the laser eyes took up too much room.
So robot Jesus activated and sat up in the tomb. It was pretty dark in there, so he turned on his night vision. He came to the entrance and found that some jerk had placed a giant boulder there. Thankfully, God had replaced his nipples with hellfire missiles. Just as he was about to fire, a bunny hopped in front of him. He was like, “Dammit bunny, I almost killed you with my nipple missiles!”
Jesus used his magic finger rays on the bunny. His intention was to magically transport the bunny to safety. Instead, the bunny just sat there and glowed for a while. Jesus hadn’t read the manual for the magic finger rays and didn’t really know what he was doing. All of the sudden the bunny laid an egg.
“Dammit… I really need to figure out this magic stuff or Dad’s going to start calling me a muggle again.”
Holding the bunny safely under his arm, Jesus fired his hellfire nipple missiles and blasted the stone from the tomb entrance. His disciples heard the explosion and gathered around, staring at the tomb opening. As the dust cleared, a figure could be seen walking forth. Jesus stepped out into the light, looked at his followers, and said, “I’m back, bitchez!”
The people were filled with joy and praised him loudly.
One of them spoke to Jesus and said… ”Did that bunny just lay an egg?”
Okay, this is way better than that tired “Zombie Jesus” joke. Robot Jesus is so much cooler.
My brother drew me adventure time style!
Ugh, I got the proportions way wrong on Catbug in retrospect.
Done doing these so here they all are in one place! Fully Dressed Redesigns of Superheroines.
Point of this: An exercise in character design, attempting to clothe the heroines nearly all the way and not making them painted-on, while still keeping the look of their original costumes in some way. Hopefully keeping them looking as iconic as the originally were. Just showing what can be done with a costume breaking outside the barrier of the norm.
NOT the point of this: some moral code I’m trying to push on you
Sorry if there was a character you wanted me to do that I didn’t get to!
I like this challenge. Partially because I like the creative challenge. Mostly because this is how it should be done by the big studios, both for realism and modesty. (Though, I will admit that it’s more for realism than modesty for me.)
A tee-shirt my sister got me. In case you’re wondering, yes, that is zombie Rainbow Dash, Rarity, and Applejack. Too eclectic to wear in public, but hell, I love it.
A rock hammer for Christmas! Only a nerdy geologist wannabe (such as myself) would want this!
I drew this from memory and I refuse to put it on my art blog.
Reblog and make this Morbi’s most popular art post.
AK’s Guide to SuitsAn introduction to the finer details of menswear, and how to get them right in your… aw, hell, why am I describing it here? Read the intro!

Ooh handy!
This is the best.

Trying to do stuff digital.
Some more work from the school year, but this stuff is more random. The lasers are pretty cool also.
I apologize for the sheer strangeness of these. No, I will not explain them.
This is the line of caricatures I made of my classmates and teachers last year. I took this with my iPod, which has scratch on the upper left side, so pardon the smudge. Also, the quality of work between these changes a lot.
A character guy I drew with pastels. It’s kinda meh.
