Oh, #metroid #samus

I discovered Katherine Arden through Small Spaces quartet, but made time for these and I’m so glad I did. I absolutely devoured the first and am waiting to be left alone long enough to get through the second 🥹

It’s hard to describe one piece of the novel that ties to my vision for Odd Jobs, but the ordinary locations and objects in the world that are made unsettling through subtle details is the approach I’m trying to emulate.

I can’t even begin to state my excitement to start doing this to people 🥹

I wanted everything to be typical/familiar, but everything too still. There’ll be some people here eventually for dynamism, but I’m shooting to have it “look” lived in with cars out front, some lights on in the houses, but I intend to leave it looking borderline sterile overall.

I just did this too! I haven’t worked up the nerve for Pantheon of Hallownest yet 🥹

Definitely on the to-do list. This was just a day 1 first pass.

Thanks!

I’m a substitute teacher and every class I teach that doesn’t make me sick I feel like I dodged a bullet.

I’m just coming out of one and I’m so over aching and rewinding X-Files because I fell asleep 🥹

I hope you recover soon!

I always say it tongue firmly planted in cheek, but it’s nice to have things to look forward to 😅

Scope and scope creep is the biggest challenge in my experience. Good on you for knowing your limitations and respecting them.

You fit so much personality into such a little footprint!

I’m always so impressed with people learning this. I’ve been trying to work up the nerve to tackle it, but so far I’m white knuckling my crutch of camera-facing billboards a la Doom (1993).

I stg it’s a stylistic choice 🙃

This looks so good! Diegetic UI gang unite!

Me too! I wrote a short film once and the lead didn’t have her name until we were shooting 🥹 She was “Protag” until first scene was rolling.
