So apparently, this is a thing: Greenscreen-clad workers who secretly flip models’ hair during shampoo commercials. (via @makingofs on twitter)
if they would leave the mummy in the commercial I would be 200% more likely to purchase the product

I was feeling “blah” and needed something to cheer me up, so I joined the Batgirl fanart bandwagon and drew my own. I feel much better already :)
Done entirely in Sketchbook Pro 6.0
This is great.

Ready for Amulet 6: Escape From Lucien?! Here’s a sneak peak of one of the scenes from Kazu Kibuishi (boltcity) PLUS an explanation of how each page comes to be!
First Photo - Blue Line: While many of the pages in Amulet begin with a very rough and scribbly version of the page, this is one of the examples where I let the art direct me where to go with the dialogue and story. I knew I wanted to draw the large panel of the Colossus being prepared for battle, so I went right ahead and began penciling the page with a blue pencil and added dialogue after the drawings were done. I use a blue line so that when I go to ink the page, I can cancel out the blue color in the computer and leave only the clean black lines on the page. This process feels a bit like I’m drawing with invisible ink or pencil.
Second Photo - Inked Page: I call this the “inking” stage, but what I’m really doing here is using a regular graphite pencil and drawing over a large printed copy of the blue line image. After the page is “inked”, I scan the image into the computer and adjust the contrast of the penciled linework to make it look more like ink. Using a pencil is not only easier on my hand, but it creates a nice, flowing line that makes the image look a little bit like it’s moving. This is also the stage where most of the dialogue writing occurs. The font is one that is based on my own hand lettering, and I just type drafts of dialogue on the inked pages until I feel the dialogue works.
Third Photo - Colors: Once the inks are scanned into the computer, cleaned up, and adjusted, we add colors digitally. Working digitally allows us to paint a lot faster and adjust things much easier than if we painted everything on paper or canvas. We use Adobe Photoshop to achieve a painted look and feel. This stage is overseen by Jason Caffoe (jcaffoe), who works with me to establish the colors and settings in the books. On this particular page, I simply gave Jason notes on what kind of setting I wanted to see, and he established the imagery in the background. After working with me for so many years, Jason has a good sense of what I’m looking to achieve, and nearly always hits the mark.

All those things about not really loving the source material and “just watching the movies” or only reading the one book that everyone has read. That—all of that—applies to me.
But here are some things that have never happened to me. I have never been quizzed about who Data’s evil brother is to prove I like Star Trek. I have never had to justify my place in a midnight line to see Spider-man II by knowing who took up the mantle of Spider-man after Peter Parker’s death. (Peter Parker dies? Really? That’s so sad!) I have never had to explain who Nightwing is in order to participate in a conversation about Batman. (Nightwing is like….Robin on steroids, right?) I have never been asked how battle meditation works in order to voice my opinion that Enterprise shields would probably make a fight with Star Wars technology one sided. (Battle meditation is something that was in that Jedi role playing game, wasn’t it?) I have never had to beat everybody in the room (twice) at Mario Kart to prove I liked video games. I have never had my gender “honorarily” changed by having enough geek interests to be accepted (“you’re one of the guys now”). No one has ever insisted I tell them the difference between a tank and DPS in an MMORPG before allowing me to discuss raiding Molten Core. I have never been dismissed as a faker at a prequel screening because I didn’t know which admiral came out of light speed too close to the planet’s surface in The Empire Strikes Back. I have never been quizzed about Armor Class in order to get past someone who was blocking my path to the back of a game store where my friends were waiting at the tables. I have never been told I’m not a real fan. I have never been shamed for coming to a convention despite my lack of esoteric knowledge. And I have never, ever, EVER been invited to leave a fandom because I didn’t like [whatever it was] enough.
Every one of the things I have listed, I have personally witnessed happen. To women.
That’s not elitism. That’s sexism.

William H. Foster III, comic book historian, on representation in comic books. From PBS’s Superheroes: A Never-Ending Battle.
Because a post crossed my dash recently asking why we need to push for more representation in comic books and media in general. 50 years later, this man still tears up because in one panel, Peter Parker spoke to an unnamed black kid. That’s why we need representation.
Weepy.
