Illustration of 20ish characters from the game, Final Fantasy Tactics. They're all marching to the left on a plain yellow background and each generic class is represented. Ramza is leading the way on the back of a chocobo.

Since @spoke-art.com now has their whole LEVEL UP show online, I figured it’s safe to share the entire piece I contributed. Final Fantasy Tactics is now one of my all time fave games. I just love a game about clothes, you know?

Sin palabras. Es una Obra de arte que necesita sentirse.

this excellent cover raises the startling question: what does Brian Bolland think a taco is

What? Artists? I don't think comics have those, sorry, or even IF they do, that's irrelevant.

Dullahan has always had one of my favorite boss intros in the game, but they're all so cool in their own right

2010 comics magazine cover

If I had a nickel for every time Franz Ferdinand was involved in the precursor events of a world war, I’d have two nickels, which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird it happened twice

it's nuts how it looks substantially worse than the median rpgmaker game but at least it's also pointlessly verbose

Maj Sjöwall and Per Wahlöö, 'Cop Killer'

These last few weeks have been a hilariously dispiriting reminder that people take the stories/characters/lore (gah) whatever in Resident Evil games seriously to a degree that is absurdly unwarranted. Like RE4 is one of my all-time faves, but come on.

Scary Tales 46 by Steve Ditko, Pat Boyette, Joe Staton, Mike Pellowski, and probably Joe Gill

The chart asks "what type of gamer are you"? New school : Highguard Old school: Concord Retro: LawBreakers Ancient: Evolve Pre Historic: Battleborn

Shit! They had it figured out (sadly) in 1990! Honestly can't remember having heard of an arcade game with that kind of 'feature'.

Umezz is able to convey an of empathy for children and childhood that very few in any artform have been able to wrangle:
Pure-hearted without nostalgia, visceral without perversion, confrontational without acusation/preaching.
A clarity that can only work through horror.

Is people stanning and/or disparaging Unity or Unreal Engine the new version of the console marketing wars or somesuch? Maybe following after the console vs PC thing that seems to not have the pull it once did either. Just to be clear, anyone invested in this in any way is a fucking moron.

It's hilarious that "working class" now applies exclusively to the racist failsons of regional car dealership owners but every unemployed trans person is an "elite".

A great malignant form squeezed its frame through the cracks of the world; it writhed, it swam, it squelched in the dark. surly, imperious figure bounding across delusion-choked air, shimmering appendages crawling upon rippling muscles, violaceous chitin, impossibly stretched limbs reaching out into phantasmagoric depths of its birth.

Serial Experiments Lain (capítulo 10)

Two things can be true about Mike Richardson:

-He was responsible for some major genre hits
AND
-He did not protect staff if they were not a white man and is responsible for a generation of queer and female editors leaving comics rather than continue in a toxic environment

Ewan McGregor in Haywire - "The motive is money...the motive is always money."

"Why Early Access?"

She also colored the Multiverse series he had done earlier which I didn't see until much later.

Good chance the first work I saw of Tatjana Wood (RIP) was her work with Walt Simonson in the early 2000s on Orion.
