…Hot take, but we need to start hiring fursuit makers of this caliber to do practical creature effects for indie fantasy/sci-fi movies, because clearly these people seem like the goddamn future of practical effects….
…And yes, before anyone brings it up, I am aware the all-fursuited fantasy movie Bitter Lake exists, but we need more stuff like that IMO.
What’s wild to me is you can’t see where the wearer’s vision is. Usually close-fitting masks like this use the wearer’s eyes as the character’s eyes, and while it does look cool you can’t get cartoon eyes that way. This mask has cartoon eyes, but doesn’t have the usual black patches at the corners for vision. I’m wondering if the eyes are actually where the wearer’s eyes are and they’re using a material like reflective sunglass lenses to prevent their eyes from being easily seen.
And don’t get me started on how well the jaw works! Mobile jaws that follow the wearer’s movement are common but often have very slight oddities that give away the mechanism. This one is perfect. I’d love to see this artist’s other work.

I think the vision IS using the tearduct method, it’s just so seamless you don’t notice! Incredible.
when your friend asks if you have any plans like nope just me and the skull lol
Sorry, I could never be a capitalist, I suffer from “wanting humans to have their basic needs met” disorder, where I care about people who aren’t me.
Someone once asked me if, assuming we got universal healthcare, I would be okay with the rise in “healthcare tourism” where people who are sick come to our country to get their medical bills taken care of and life-saving medical treatment cheaper than in their home countries. I was just like, yeah thats fine, I’d actually prefer it if 0 people died from preventable causes kept behind a paywall for no reason.
“even the addicts?” yeah dude did i fucking stutter

People love to talk about the immortality of the machine, but I'm a mechanical engineer, so I know they delude themselves. Most machines are far more mortal than flesh.
How long does a machine last? A car is a very solid machine, expensive, precision designed, and you're lucky if you get more than three decades out of them.
Your enemy is not the flesh. It's entropy. It's the death knell of the energy imbalance. If you want to live as a complex machine you will, by necessity, generate a great deal of entropy until your machine breaks irrevocably.
You want to be immortal? Then don't worship the machine, worship the stone, the forest. Seek that which is either simple enough to never know death or diffused enough to accept every death.
Your enemy is not the flesh. It's entropy.
Is it too much to ask for the flesh to generate a little less entropy
Sorry buddy that's the cost of being a complex being, comes with the territory.

Today I learned that Keanu Reeves developed a "mag flip" technique for reloading a gun that is now being adopted by competition shooters and actual soldiers.
Basically he just kinda twists the gun hard enough that the magazine flies out on its own so he can put a new one in faster.
I just thought it was crazy that an actor developed a viable combat technique.
i love that this is 100% not true at all
common misconception. what they've actually invented is money but worse
