I can’t stop laughing at Harry running the fuck away, the boy who lived ladies and gentlemen.

….You realize, of course, that Hermione Granger lit a teacher on fire when she was eleven, and kept a person alive in a jar for a year when she was fourteen, and studies dark and forbidden magics for kicks, and is one of the brightest and strongest witches of her era. If she came at me, even wandless, I would aparate to Neptune to get away from her.

Hermione Granger also:

punched Draco Malfoy in the nose for being an idiot

purposefully performed a confundus charm on whatshsface WHILE HE WAS FLYING just so Ron would win (omfg that is so fucking dangerous)

literally pulled a fucking Bourne Identity on her parents and managed to set them up in fucking Australia (jesus christ she literally made it so that she NEVER EXISTED wtf that’s so fucking 007)

Convinced the Ministry of Magic to give her an incredibly dangerous and volatile device that allowed her to ALTER TIMELINES COMPLETELY (just because she was so smart, literally, that is the reason, her “potential”)

Has enough basic survival skills and badass magic to literally disappear to the middle of nowhere and flourish AND figure out Voldemort’s plot with Harry

Hermione also figures out not only what Voldemort’s plan is, but generally how to beat it, WAY BEFORE VOLDEMORT EVER DOES. Why? because she is just that much smarter and better at magic than everybody else

in conclusion: Voldemort wishes he could be as awesome as Hermione, that’s why he wants to kill her so bad.

Can we rehave this series with hermione as the protagonist.

Hermione Granger and “That Time I Used the Power of Research and Deductive Reasoning to Make Sure Harry Didn’t Die”

Hermione Granger and “That time I figured shit out and literally ended up petrified for the cause and it took my friends weeks to figure out that I had the research on me”

Hermione Granger and “That Time I Was a Time Lord”

Hermione Granger and “That Time I Realized I was Hot and Smart and Saved Harry’s Ass with Research. Again. All the Time. Really, He Would Have Died Without Me.”

Hermione Granger and “That time Harry was too emo to actually do shit so I did shit in his name because I am the power behind the throne clearly also PS fought evil deatheaters and won”

Hermione Granger and “That Time I told Harry about the Dangers of Copying off Somebody’s else’s work that wasn’t mine and OH LOOK I WAS RIGHT”

Hermione Granger and “That Time I let Harry Decide Where to Go and What To do and we ended up wandering the forests of dean for like 5 months before saving his ass at Hogwarts”

OH LOOK I WAS RIGHT

all of the above ^^

Tuesday Random tips: Basic Primitives.

Hi,

I have so many kind and wonderful people helping me out when I was still a student. Armand Baltazar would set aside an hour each week to help me out with my portfolio when I was interning at DWA, I will always be grateful to him. He said, “a lot of people helped him out, and he’s passing along the good deed”. And I’m passing it along too through mentoring and teaching. I was giving some tips for my mentee from Motivarti and a couple of interns at work about making your portfolio and such. And I thought this morning, why not start posting on my blog too so I can reach more artists? So, I’m going to start posting random tips every Tuesday. For my first random posting is basic primitives. Yes, I’m a big fan of strong foundation skill.

When you are hired in a big studio, such as DreamWorks. You will probably start by making props. Yes, everyone still does props (including me, it’s just part of the job). Even when you are making big paintings, there will still be prop page to go along with. Before I go into details on how I approach design, first thing first, you must know your basic primitives: sphere, cone, cylinder, and cube. All object is basically a combined primitives; for example — a round table with 3 round legs, are basically a combination of 4 cylinder.

This is week 3 assignment of my VisCom 5 class from Art Center College of Design (oh, I miss it so. I love my product design students. But I’m just too busy now, maybe I’ll get back to teaching soon). Learning basic primitives is a MUST!!! I consider this assignment to be the most critical one. Know this! And the rest will be easy.

Good luck!

Griz

* a lot of this approach, is an interpretation on how an object should look like. Photoshop is a manipulation tool. Hopefully you already know how to render these with pencil/marker/paint. If you do, you’ll have an easy time. If you don’t, then put your hours in.

Builders bulldoze one of largest Mayan pyramids in Belize

One of the oldest and most famous Mayan pyramids has been destroyed by a construction company in Belize, while digging for crushed rock for a road they were building.

They actually did.

Who looks around and sees a well known local landmark, a pyramid that’s 2,300 years old, and says “Imma tear that shit down, lay it on the ground and pour asphalt over it.” ?!! ARE YOU A CARTOON VILLAIN COME TO LIFE?

i had to present my preliminary final paper topic for my fan culture and celebrity class to a room full of people who knew very little about game of thrones. this was my resulting power point (with me using lots more words then what is shown, obviously, but this gives you the general idea). i‘m sure my actual paper will end up on here eventually and we can see how much my argument has grown!!!! it’s not due for a whole week tho, so everybody calm down.

Because telling fat people that they are in fact humans that deserve dignity and respect automatically means you’re ~*GLORIFYING OBESITY*~

By the way, don’t dribble on to me saying you worry about a fat person’s ‘health’. That’s just a bullshit excuse to voice your unwanted opinion on a fat person’s body considering you wouldn’t give a single flying fuckadoodle about someone’s health if they were skinny. Besides another person’s health is none of your damned business anyway. Run along now and preach to a choir that actually cares.

I’m going to be honest, so long as you’re not hurting anyone, you can eat soy sauce and milk duds all day long for all I care.

thank you so much for this comic imp.

Reminder: Body image does not equate to actual health.

YEESSSSS!!!!!

Work Hard and Be Kind: An Interview With Chris Ware

Mon, 13 May 2013 00:52:29 -0400

Work Hard and Be Kind: An Interview With Chris Ware:

theonlymagicleftisart:

What advice would you give to someone who is in the early stages of that and possibly struggling?

To work as hard as possible, and then, when you think you’re done, to work just a little bit harder. To know that if it feels “right” it may actually be completely wrong, and that if it feels “wrong” it may be completely right. There’s no governing principle to any of this except that strange instinct and feeling within yourself that you simply have to learn to trust, but which is always unreliably changing. To create something for people who have not been born yet. To pay attention to how it actually feels to be alive, to the lies you tell yourself and others. Not to overreach—but also not to get too comfortable with your own work. To avoid giving in to either self-doubt or self-confidence, depending on your leaning, and especially to resist giving over your opinion of yourself to others—which means not to seek fame or recognition, which can restrain rather than open your possibility for artistic development. With all this in mind, not to expect anything and to be grateful for any true, non-exploitative opportunity that presents itself, however modest. And to understand that being able to say “I don’t know what to do with my life” is an incredible privilege that 99% of the rest of the world will never enjoy. [Read more…]
