Turning Your Kid’s Drawings Into Badass Characters by Thomas Romain.
I really want to fight that three headed skeleton demon thing.
I want to watch an entire anime about that cool hoverboard girl at the top
I’ve said this before but I love how this demonstrates the importance of concept over execution. The kids have stellar imagination and you know their dad’s final art is the kind of vivid image they already had in mind.
Adults saw my drawings when I was little but it rarely felt to me like they SAW my drawings. Their minds didn’t translate what I put on paper to what I was actually going for. If an adult did something like this for me back then I’d have felt so validated.
Contrast that with a similar series that went around years ago:
THIS LOOKS COOL, don’t get me wrong. I genuinely like the effect of directly translating this design.
But if I were the kid who drew the original picture, I’d feel like the final version was kind of making fun of my imperfect technical skills.
Like something you’d find on one of those soft/nature blogs?
Well you are in for a surprise
The Bolton Strid in England is one of the most innocent looking streams.
Though it looks like you could just hop across the rocks, but if you miss you will die for sure. It packs very rapid currents just a couple of feet below its surface. No one really knows how deep it really is. Nobody who has ever fallen into the Strid has survived. It has a 100% fatality rate.
It’s always the things I google expecting to be false that wind up being horribly true.
“It’s relatively common for people to assume they can jump the creek, walk across its stones or even wade through it (again, just looking at it, the Strid really seems to be only knee-deep in places, and certainly not the instant, precipitous drop into a watery grave that it is). Most of the time, they never even find the body. Which means there are just dozens of corpses down there, pinned to the walls of the underground chasms, waiting for you to join them…”
how dare you leave out the best quote
“It’s exactly how water works in a video game: It looks all stupid and harmless, but the second your foot touches the surface, you get some bullshit drowning animation and die instantly.”
if ur dealing to the people on the left you’d just say “$45 a gram” and theyd be like “yeah bro sure dude i gotchu thats legitness ur the man” but the ppl on the right u gotta finesse like “my normal price is $15 a g but this stuff is called Cosmic Throat Cum Squirt Haze so the lowest i can go is $50″ and theyd b like “wow… so cultured… i cant wait to smoke this out of my native american themed bong…”
concept: Loki dies in Infinity War, and Thors like “lmfao yeah right”
time passes, but still, hes faked his death longer. a memorial is put up, songs are sung, Thor still wont believe it. as the years pass, he stops eyeing anyone acting out of character suspiciously, forgets how long its been since he expects to see him when the battle is raging.
one day, when he’s as old and grey as his father, he does what he never thought he would do; he brings a tribute to Lokis’s memorial. its then he finally understands that he’s gone. that that familiar presence was just his love for his brother, and that he supposes in a way, he really didn’t leave hi–
and then the monument transforms into Loki and hes like mblerg! and stabs him
Even if you don’t like Halloween you have to appreciate its position as the sole thing keeping Christmas from advancing even earlier into the year like a cancerous growth
