Forest God part 1 by Oleg Vdovenko

#ICONIC™

imagine if the oceans were replaced by forests and if you went into the forest the trees would get taller the deeper you went and there’d be thousands of undiscovered species and you could effectively walk across the ocean but the deeper you went, the darker it would be and the animals would get progressively scarier and more dangerous and instead of whales there’d be giant deer and just wow

you have a beautiful imagination

this gave me chills

HOLY SHIT

first of all ^^^ I love this^^^

secondly, I’ve said it before, but 

this is exactly what the Old World was. Off shore there was Ocean, and inland there was Forrest

Here’s an Old World tree still surviving in a modern forrest of “large” trees

That’s just what trees used to be like.

And wandering among those trees, one might have encountered, yes, deer larger than a modern moose, but also, depending on what year, pigs bigger than grizzly bears, beavers the size of modern wolves, ground sloths the size of modern elephants, and bears nearly that big. Not to mention the insects and snakes and shit.

I could keep going, like, you might have crossed paths with a whole herd of these

or a family of these.

Like, 29,000 years ago, the last of the Neanderthal had just died out. Humans and this thing definitely lived at the same time.

And they didn’t live in the Forest, but there is one ice age creature that’s still alive, if you want to see what life was like back in the day. We used to think the Musk Ox was a type of bovine, or cow, which is how it got it’s name. BUT. See this?

that, my friends, is an ice age GOAT. That’s right, that’s a 900 pound GOAT. Here, take another look

anyway, yeah, the wild used to be a lot more Wild. Old Forest was definitely the inland equivalent of Ocean, and everything back in the day was turnt the fuck UP

This post was made by someone’s genetic memory of those scary fuckers

We saw these things outside the gaudi cathedral today and I’m gonna fuckin cry I was laughing so hard

lmao homeboy STRUGGLED

Idk who he is but I love him

This feels like a cartoon

This is literally what it’s like to own a rabbit tho

This part got me so bad i had to gif it

the muffled radio in the background and the person taking the video JUST COMPLETELY LOSING IT really make this

this is what 5 million years of evolving specifically to evade predators looks like

It’s done! My Wasteland, Baby! aquarium, featuring Mercutio the marimo as Andrew Mossball-Byrne.

He is 100% morally right to do this. Not to make a funny cool video into a “topic” but how about we start talking more about how tow companies are part of a predatory system in which trivial errors are given harsh legal penalties for the sole purpose of generating money? Sometimes not even errors on your part. Your car could break down or get wrecked and you still have to pay impound fees if you can’t get back to it fast enough. Your car can get STOLEN BY CAR THIEVES and you still have to pay impound fees. You could be driving, suffer a heart attack or stroke, have to abandon your vehicle to go to the hospital and have to pay impound fees. You could park legally, get injured or mugged or lost or otherwise unable to get back to your car before the parking expires and have to pay impound fees. You could DIE while you’re out with your car and your family will have to pay impound fees.

The fees start in the hundreds and increase every day the car isn’t retrieved. This can take away someone’s only mode of transportation and cost them their entire job and ability to live. Maybe forty or fifty years ago anybody with a car could be reasonably assumed to have some savings or a friend or family who could help with this and it was just a “darn it! My poor wallet! Aw man!” situation but today it’s more often a “guess I need to beg for public donations or kill myself” situation.

more nelf book things

azshara gave illidan a boner it’s canon look it up

Wota has some pretty interesting Azshara details.  Once Illidan can see “power levels”, his vision of azshara is like “omg it’s huge” and then he figures out that she’s actually hiding an even higher power level.  Mannoroth describes her power level as seconded only (or equal?) to Archimonde.   

So hey, they added a new character to Overwatch. Here is all my feelings about him, in the form of a quick comic drawn in my sketchbook.

Go, James Baxter, go! 🐴 

I’m seeing a lot of comments wondering why James Baxter the horse’s movements are more fluid than everyone else’s. There’s an answer!

He’s based on, voiced by, drawn by, and named after James Baxter the animator. James Baxter is known for his very fluid animation, most famously the ballroom dance from Beauty and the Beast. You know that really smooth sequence in the Gravity Falls theme song where Dipper drops the candle lantern, and then Mable rubs cheeks with Waddles the pig? That’s James Baxter’s work.

With this in mind, rewatch his two Adventure Time episodes. In the first, James Baxter the horse makes people happy with his art (rolling around on a ball), which inspires Finn and Jake to do it, too. But they learn that they can’t just copy his style, they need to find their own thing. In the second episode, James Baxter loses his ball. He deals with the pressure of everyone wanting him to roll around on balls again, but in the end, decides to do something else. Something that make himself happy.

Anyway, these two episodes are great advice for artists, whatever you’re doing. But it’s also funny to know that one of the most legendary living animators is doing a horse voice and shouting his own name in a microphone.
