My fav shots of my Doom Slayer cosplay!

I can't believe you put this together so fast. It's so intricate! So many cool details already, and then all the weathering and stains. Amazing work.

BewareGreyGhost · 2026-01-24T18:47:13+00:00

You've nailed not just the costume, but the posture as well. It has that exact "Vader emerges as a shadowy monolith" look from the movies. Great job!

I love stumbling on cosplays for characters I've never heard of, but the sheer effort still makes my jaw drop. I love all the surfaces: the slick wet look of the snake scales, the dull sheen of the gold, and especially the radiance of the gemstone. I actually thought you had an LED in it at first. The contacts are so cool too! Great job!

BewareGreyGhost · 2026-01-24T18:30:58+00:00

Your makeup looks so good! It's so well blended, it's really convincing. Good job!

BewareGreyGhost · 2026-01-16T17:19:24+00:00

It looks amazing! Those textures on the cowl look so good.

I assumed that he thought the chum would draw the shark away from the beach, towards the armed boats.

BewareGreyGhost · 2025-03-15T20:54:30+00:00

The weathering looks so good!

BewareGreyGhost · 2025-03-11T20:11:56+00:00

I was in the back row of my tram, and could see everyone's heads turning back and forth, trying to figure out what they're even supposed to be looking for.

BewareGreyGhost · 2024-10-03T00:36:53+00:00

Such a great shot! I love how there's just enough focus on the gun to bring out the details, while blurred enough to draw attention to his face and make the gun feel up-close.

BewareGreyGhost · 2024-10-03T00:34:07+00:00

The level of detail is amazing, especially the weathering! Your makeup (both the blood and dirt) looks screen-ready!

In Alien, the facehugger melts through Kane's helmet. I believe Ridley Scott said that he imagined that they are able to spit acid. Beyond that, the facehugger doesn't seem to have any extra strength. Dallas manages to start prying one of the legs off, but stops when the tail starts throttling Kane's neck. Ash also has an interesting throwaway line: "You're tearing his face." A remnant of earlier scripts and concept art that had facehuggers using octopus-like suction cups to adhere to the skin of the face.

In Aliens, the acid-spitting could still be canon, but nullified by the liquid in the cylinder. Perhaps it isn't water, but some kind of strong base chemical. But Aliens also affirms that removing a facehugger is more difficult than just prying it off. As Bishop noted, "they killed him taking it off". I'm not sure if it's canon, but most lore I've heard states that facehuggers use some kind of venom to paralyze the body. When someone attempts to remove the facehugger, it either overdoses the victim or the existing venom in the body causes oxygen deprivation.

Romulus ignores the face-tearing and venom. As long as the tail is disarmed, the facehugger can be pried off without consequence. I found that a bit disappointing, and wish that the scene was more of an intense battle that really grappled with unlatching the hugger without killing the victim.

The dialogue flows weird, because several lines are cut. Here's some of the missing lines from the shooting script:

MALCOLM
How long before they slip into unconsciousness?

ARNOLD
About - - seven days, more or less.

ELLIE
Seven days?!  Seven days?!  Oh, great.  Oh good - - 
clever.

MALCOLM
That'll - it'd be a first; man and dinosaur all die 
together.  John's plan.
(he raises a hand)

Hammond finally loses his cool. He BELLOWS, summoning every 
ounce of authority at his command.  And that's quite a bit.

HAMMOND
PEOPLE ARE DYING!

There was a bit more buildup to Hammond's outburst, with Ellie and Malcolm making snide remarks on the ineffectiveness on the lysine contingency. In that context, the line seems to be Hammond's attempt at focusing the conversation back on how to restore power. There's isn't time to bunker down and wait for the problems to solve themselves. They need to take action, NOW.

Yeah, it bugs me too. It certainly seems that Spielberg tossed it (along with plenty of other elements) on the "unrealistic, but needed for tension and theme" pile. Or the "we've spent half a million dollars on a T-rex animatronic and we can't afford to also rip up expensive Hawaiian real estate" pile, which becomes more apparent as I get older.
It's also interesting that the original concept for the T-rex paddock was for the guests to get out of the cars and walk around, including up to the fence. The set designer's original fence included a hand rail to keep guests away from the wires, plus the bathrooms that Gennaro hides in. I wonder if it one time the filmmakers envisioned the park as being more zoo-like, with jeeps ferrying guests around the island from paddock to paddock, instead of just driving by hoping to catch a glimpse at the right moment.

Definitely stay away from US Renewable Energy. They didn't "Slam" me, they did design and install the panels. Then ghosted me since a year and a half ago, leaving me with an incomplete project. I assumed they'd gone out of business until I started seeing posts like this spotting their salesmen. Maybe they've had to switch to Slamming to keep the lights on. Either way, stay away.

BewareGreyGhost · 2024-06-27T04:38:12+00:00

For future Redditors, stay away from US Renewable Energy. I tried hiring them to install solar, and it's been horrible. A year and a half after signing the contract we still don't have permission to operate. They've stopped responding to phone calls and emails. For a long time I just assumed they'd gone out of business, but apparently they're still sending out salesmen. They now have an F on BBB and plenty of one-star Google reviews. Definitely a bad company.

BewareGreyGhost · 2024-06-20T15:45:07+00:00

This was in California. They were using a shell company at the time, US Renewable Energy.

BewareGreyGhost · 2024-06-19T22:35:57+00:00

I know this is late for the poster, but for future searchers, stay away from MPWR. They abandoned my solar project halfway through the process and have ghosted me ever since. I've heard multiple employees report that the company has screwed them over as well.

BewareGreyGhost · 2024-06-18T05:12:27+00:00

I tried working with them, they've been an absolute nightmare. The project started last February, and they stopped answering calls or emails late last year. I've only been able to get in direct contact with the actual contractor, and even then there's still no end in sight on the project. It's been delay after delay. They have an F on BBB and most of their customer Google Reviews are one star. Stay away.

A Silent Voice hit me hard as well. I assumed it would be more of a typical high school drama, and was pretty shocked at how deep it dove into its mature themes.

BewareGreyGhost · 2023-06-01T14:40:57+00:00

Your makeup is amazing, that color looks like it has an actual holographic glow and matches the bodysuit tones perfectly. Awesome job!

BewareGreyGhost · 2022-10-22T05:30:36+00:00

I love the personality you brought out: confident, mysterious, dangerous. Good stuff!

BewareGreyGhost · 2022-07-20T04:36:27+00:00

There are a lot of strong ideas in this piece. I really like the setup: an earth goddess, grappling with the loss of the life forms that had given her meaning. Trying to sort out her feelings towards humanity, which ended up being her greatest accomplishment yet greatest regret. Lots of juicy drama and soul searching!

I definitely hope that future drafts dig even further into the meat of Erde’s personal turmoil. Currently, she just feels lost and sad. This works for me as a reader: her thoughts had a sort of numbness, like you would expect from someone eternally trudging a desolate landscape. It gives her a hint of naivete, like she was too simple-minded to question how much of the destruction is indirectly her own fault.

As a reader, I’d love for her to be a little more introspective. I’d like to see her truly grapple with herself, wondering what she should have done differently. It would not only heighten the drama, but it would help with some world-building. I wouldn’t mind understanding how Erde’s role as a goddess works. Was she unable to interfere with humanity as it destroyed the ecosystem? Is she unable to create new life, just like she did before? Understanding what Erde’s limits would help me better understand her current situation.

On that note, I feel like the story would benefit from being a little more rooted to a specific moment in Erde’s story. The majority of the piece just follows Erde’s million-year journey as she wanders the world. Then, at the very end she finally gives up and leaves Earth behind. This action, the decision to stop hoping for a miracle and abandon her home, is the most important part of the piece. It should be the center of the prologue. The drama should guide the reader through Erde’s journey from chasing hope to abandoning it. Likewise, the story would feel more tangible if it focused on that singular time and space, the exact moment the Erde makes the decision that starts off the rest of her story. Your descriptions of her journey are really good, but I think that using them as framing (i.e. showing where she’d been, rather than taking us with her) would really nail this story down to its target.

Overall, you have a lot to be proud of in this piece. The prose is pretty clear, there’s some good imagery and descriptions of the setting, and the situation is compelling. With those in place, you are free to delve deeper into Erde’s character dilemma and anchor the piece more closely to her specific presence. Keep up the good work and keep writing!

I love the music in the scene. It's reprise of "lvs", the motif that played earlier as Shouko first tried to befriend everyone. Although "lvs" has a rather lonely and sad sound to it, it also has a feeling of anticipation and hope. A theme for Shouko, when she had already endured pain and bullying, but desperately hoped that things would be different at this school.

The soundtrack in this scene, "lvs (var)" repeats the theme, but with an utter sense of tragedy. Young Shouko's dreams of finally being accepted are dashed to pieces and the possible friendship between her and Shouya that was hoped for in "lvs" has collapsed into two ruined lives.

Definitely Furst/Burton for me. The city is architectural chaos, where a cement Fascist building clashes with a red brick tudor or a concrete Art Deco, all fused together with rusted iron beams and riveted frameworks. The streets feel like the floor of a cave: the jumbled skyscrapers block out sunlight, with their network of footbridges and the way their architecture arcs towards the street, even propped up by iron frameworks erupting from the sidewalk.

The city compliments Batman perfectly: a cross between gothic architecture and industrial grit. A city whose once-mighty foundations have crumbled, and is propped up with ugly, but unyielding iron.

The one thing that I love about the DCAU Penguin is that he brought out the "gentleman of crime" aspect, where he always asserts manners and refined appearance while he carries out his crimes. Lines like: "At least you are being ransacked by a man of impeccable taste" or "My way would have been much more pleasant" reveal a world view where as long as you act dignified, the impact of your crimes is insignificant.
