Wrong: Ada Lovelace invented computer science and immediately tried to use it to cheat at gambling because she was Lord Byron’s daughter.
Right: Ada Lovelace invented computer science and immediately tried to use it to cheat at gambling because that was the closest you could get in 1850 to being a Super Mario 64 speedrunner.
This is how I found out that Ada Lovelace was Lord Byrons daughter
Well, yeah. That’s why she received the unusual education which laid the foundation for her later discoveries in the first place. Her mother, Lady Byron, firmly believed three things:
It was her responsibility as a mother to ensure that Ada didn’t turn out like her father;
Fundamentally, the thing that was wrong with Lord Byron is that he was a poet; and
The opposite of poetry is math.
Ada Lovelace’s biography handily illustrates how well this theory worked out in practice.
the thing that bothers me with 7 deadly sin based characters is when they cant decide if they embody the sin by suffering from it or by drawing it out of others. ie. if your gluttony demon is a guy who loves eating then your lust demon should be a gooner sex pest. and if your lust demon is a seductive girlboss then your gluttony demon should be a 5 star chef. does this make sense.
Concept: Baba Yaga house walking around on chicken legs, being followed by one of those plastic Fisher-Price play houses on baby chick legs
Excuse my 15min rush art job, but I just HAD to draw this
Still love this concept. Here’s a redraw that was NOT sketched in 15min while waiting in line at the DMV
In the Russian fairytale fantasy film The Last Warrior: Root of Evil (Последний богатырь: Корень зла, 2015) the two cottages have eggs that hatch to reveal their offsprings: little cottages. Do with that information what you want…..
For people who have ever wondered “why in the world would anybody imagine a house on legs” or thought “they must have been drunk when they came up with the idea” let me introduce you to a very typical storehouse used across Scandinavia and into Slavic areas:
This type was used mostly by the Sámi, the indigenous people of northern Scandinavia and the Kola Peninsula. They’re mostly nomadic, and would build these storehouses (Áittit) up off the ground so that bears and wolves couldn’t get into them while they were elsewhere.
Other groups in Scandinavia and Russia also used elevated storerooms; the Norwegian word for them is “stabbur.” Norwegian ones are still elevated off the ground but are often not as high (because they lived right next to it year round) and often had walls around the legs so you could store non-food items that animals wouldn’t care about in a weather-proof room.
You get a similar thing on Komodo. Because of the dragons.
I read somewhere, if I remember right, that Baba Yaga’s house was like that because a very old kind of coffin was up on stilts too. But maybe it’s to avoid dragons and other scavengers instead. I guess even Baba wouldn’t want to be raided by a bear either
tearing my art up like that HURTTT 😭 but worth it in the end to recycle some unusable test prints, to make something super shiny and new inspired by kintsugi
THU AUG 21 @ 12PM (PT) New Prints & Merch Release:
Found footage movies that get turned into a series of found footage movies are always so funny. We keep buying cameras and the guys keep getting eaten by ghosts and I said well its seems like you’re just feeding journalists to the monsters and then my producer started crying
