give me a grey makeup pencil and some white face paint and i could recreate the su*cide sq*ads look easily but do u know how complicated it would be for me to make the alien makeup of beyond? itd take years of training, and then weeks upon weeks of work to perfect the prosthetics, hours to put on the actors faces seamlessly………….im salty

You’re not the only one

This took 5 hours in the chair every day…shut up.

And I quote from the person who was the head of making the FIFTY SIX DIFFERENT aliens costumes.

“Each one of those characters had to be treated like a hero main character. On days when you had 20, 30 of these characters playing, you really had to have competent makeup application artists on-set to deliver them “

20 TO 30 on multiple days.

For example

“For the generic characters, there was a lot of pieces, sometimes upwards of six, seven, eight silicon, overlapping prosthetics that you have to apply in sequence, and blend off, and then tie in the paint job or the patterning or whatever it is. I would think the shortest amount of time that anybody spent in the chair was probably two hours, and the longest was the Natalia character at the end of the film, and that was about six and a half, seven hours”.

So shortest. 2. Longest. SEVEN.

They spent hours, on JUST background characters. JUST THE BACKGROUND. Not even the main people. That is how much detail Star Trek put in.

For example!

Not to mention, the various stages Idris Elba had to go through. Because his wasn’t just one look. Krall’s face had multiple looks throughout the film.

And remember, there 53 other aliens I haven’t even mentioned.

Croc does look good. Can’t say he doesn’t OF COURSE he does.

But for all that is good.

56 brand new aliens. 20-30 would be worked on on the same day, multiple times. 2 to 7 hours of work ON EVERY.SINGLE.ONE.OF.THEM.

Yeah, people are upset for a damn good reason. And telling to shut up over your croc when you haven’t even considered goolging is childs play. Not to mention!!! How it was revealed the sexiest votes SS got because of Harley Quinn!! Which means, the Oscars didn’t even care about Croc! [Source]

So please. Just don’t.

#yeah #to everyone defending the suicide bullshit #go fuck yourself #thanks #trek #oscars 17 #that's how i mad i get when people upsets star trek

Anonymous asked:

Hello there; I've been looking through your blog and, as many others say, I just ADORE your art! I was also wondering if you could give me some advice. For quite a few months now I've utterly lost all motivation to draw. I want to go into something with art, so this devastates me, and whenever I try to draw I just get so easily frustrated. I've been an avid artist since I can remember, so for me to suddenly not want to draw for months on end really concerns me. Any suggestions to fix this?

cranbearly answered:

(hi!! apologies for the late reply. i hope this can still be of some help to you despite that!)

i think that’s a feeling every artist struggles with at some point. you love art, you love making art, and it’s immensely frustrating when that suddenly doesn’t work out despite all the effort you’ve been putting in. and then you start to lose motivation, question yourself and everything you’re doing, and it’s a vicious cycle that’s really hard to break out of. so what can we do?

well, here’s a thing. let’s call it the productivity branch.

i feel like my own creative cycles are very seasonal. not in the sense that my creativity depends on the season, but rather that my creativity itself goes through different seasons.

spring: new ideas, motivation, productivity still low
summer: lots of ideas and very productive
autumn: still productive drawing leftover ideas, but new ideas are harder to come by. and then
winter: nothing. art-block. lack of ideas, everything-sucks-syndrome, no motivation, the creative part of my brain is basically hibernating

that’s you up there. you’re in a creative winter right now. and without any inspiration or motivation it’ll be hard to find a way to cross that gap over to a new spring (pls bear with the cheesy analogies). and if your cut yourself off from inspirational influence you might start to think that, hey, this isn’t so bad. i mean, who needs spring right? just means you have to do things. be active. yikes. winter’s pretty chill. haha.

but don’t do that. it’ll come around and bite you at some point, because that lack of motivation and activity might start to seep into other parts of your life, not just the creative one, and you don’t want that.

so! when you don’t have ideas and motivation to create, then don’t create. but instead make an effort to inspire yourself. inspiration entails motivation (and vice versa).

read books, short stories, poems, science articles, anything
go on walks, explore your surroundings, if affordable maybe even go somewhere farther away
let people tell you stories
listen to new music
try things you haven’t done before (deliberately break old habits)
go through other people’s inspiration blogs
collaborate with a friend
get really invested in something, talk to others about it
watch movies, animated shorts, documentaries
or speedpaintings and art tutorials
try different techniques, or new brushes
look at art that’s so inspiring that you can’t believe you’re still just sitting there not drawing anything yourself
and most importantly, be receptive. take in the world around you, rearrange it in your head, and draw whatever you end up with. that’s the core of what creativity is

think about what you want to achieve. make your friends smile? draw something really cool you can print out and hang up in your room? touch people’s hearts? deliver a message? whatever it is, and however small or inconsequential it might seem, keep it in mind. it’s your light at the end of the tunnel.

if want to keep drawing for the sake of muscle memory while you’re still looking for your inspiration:

illustrate your daily activities
draw a random shape or find one in a photo (clouds are ideal for this) and turn it into a character or object
pick different pictures and combine elements from each of them into one drawing
do plain ol’ studies
basically don’t try to come up with things completely from scratch. find something to work with and go from there. that will save you the mentally draining task of coming up with a subject, so you can start actively drawing right away

if you still can’t make yourself pick up a pen, make a schedule. train your brain to turn its creative gears at a specific time of the day, make that a habit. do it for pavlov

approach drawing with the awareness that what you create might suck, especially when you’re out of practice, but this doesn’t mean that it will always suck, and it doesn’t mean you suck. if you learn to dissociate your current creative achievements from your worth as a person and your future potential you will get back to work a lot easier, improve faster, and be more resistant to setbacks.

find something that makes it worth the effort of working through the frustration.

you might need to try a lot of different things because everyone copes with this differently, and even when a method worked once that doesn’t mean it always will. so start trying! you can only find inspiration if you start looking for it. 👍
