@mrmattimation Yeah but that wasn't a villainous act per se, it was for the good of Hyrule. Renewal through destruction.
-
@tiffany In that case you just got the BD, so a player that can only play DVDs wouldn't be able to read it
-
@thelastgherkin I mean, she's gotten possessed in a few games, so her body as a vessel has been a villain before (although I'm aware this isn't what you mean)
-
@scribus My Mustard stopped working with images too, but usually I'll just upload the image to imgur then post the link to that here

@thelastgherkin I have a tiny mouth and I must scream eat this roll

@spots Your art has been improving a lot lately! I quite like the hair and colour balance in the design here. The shoulders should be a bit more evened out given the perspective, but generally the anatomy is solid. Good work!
-
@mushi That's for you to decide!

*Rain crashes through wall*
-
@tiffany Maybe write a piece on it, discussing why it works or why you find it compelling
-
@tiffany I have some thoughts floating around for a few things I've been watching or reading lately, might organize them for something
-
@scribus Oh those are just my regular clothes. The character designers got kinda wild this season.
-
@razzleberry I'm hoping the movie will still be good
-
@scribus My theory's okay, I think. Competent enough to get by, but my advanced theory knowledge is very rough. Theory's not for everyone though, it's a very specific language with distinct rules and components, so there will certainly be people able to easily pick it up and vice versa.
-
@scribus Yeah, I'd say so. Any facet of the composition wouldn't sound nearly as creepy independently, it's the sum of parts that makes Tara unsettling.
-
@scribus It's off for a few different reasons. You're right in that it isn't atonal, but it is a few semitones off key and (more importantly) it's monophonic. Whereas the human voice is still technically monophonic, there are still harmonic overtones and fundamental frequencies carried even in our speaking voice, but Tara's singing is much more singular in tone, so that increases its sense of inhumanity. It's also not arrhythmic, but there's no coherent rhythmic meter throughout her singing, so it sounds rhythmically jarring especially when juxtaposed against the backing music (which, to tie into what I was saying earlier, is harmonically dissonant relative to Tara). I think Tara the Android is meant to capture the uncanny valley effect, both in appearance and performance, so they're meant to look and sound like an imitation of a person while still being very clearly inhuman.

That reminds me I need to dry some laundry
