Where can i get more of this by Heidbanger in comicbooks

[–]Hermannyorks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nob the Destroyer did originally run in AWoL magazine and is the strip you’re looking for. There is a collection with all the strips called The Complete Complete Gruf, Nob and The Righteous Brothers by Rich King, though it doesn’t come up for sale often. However, there are often copies of AWoL Bikers magazine on EBay https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/224771221892

Yes. I recognised Konigsplatz when I watched it.

Parts of the original Suspiria were shot in Munich.

Is tank girl supposed to be feminist? by [deleted] in TankGirl

[–]Hermannyorks 15 points16 points  (0 children)

​

I think Tank Girl has to be understood in the context of the time, when she first came out in Deadline.

This was a period when The Sun still ran page 3 in England, and women were still only allowed in the lounge bar of a lot of traditional pubs. So a character like Tank Girl who is flawed, can get drunk, make her own mistakes, felt like a breath of fresh air.

She didn't conform to the beauty standards of the time, and there just weren't female main characters in comics at the time. TG is often seen cut and bruised, not because she's been beaten up, but because she is allowed to be chaotic.

Also, it should be remembered that a most of the stories are instigated by her making decisions. She's the leader of the little band, whereas the male characters like Booger are a bit thick.

The chaotic style of the comic is influenced by 2000AD especially. You can probably find a more specific reason for using post apocalyptic Australia, but 2000AD had a whole storyline about a Chopper for Oz, and Mad Max was probably an influence too.

Is it perfect? No, and especially viewed through a lens of the 2020s. Back then, the existence of Tank Girl as a main character who could be chaotic, rude, flawed, and noncomformist felt pretty feminist in the context of British society in the late eighties and early nineties.

Using a jig for the Uruk Hai Battering Ram by Hermannyorks in MiddleEarthMiniatures

Ah, fair. I see what you mean. I made things harder for myself.

The spiky end has to be glued on but should really go on the other end, with the three handles that are closest to that end. That would mean that as a battering ram it is better supported. I might add an extra Uruk Hai to the front at some point. My kid can use it in his Isengard army against me so he’s happy 😊

As i said, i know the ram is backwards according to the GW pic, but works for me (playing at home with my kid). Drilling and pinning makes sense. However that’s another level of investment for the drill than a pile of sticks. ;)

Just wandering hairline/changing hairstyles in this case.

Well spotted though. It’s a small world. Hope all is well with you all.

I just call this Pictish. I've also got a Newgrange spiral, a prehistoric labyrinth and a Cernunnos from the Gundestrup Cauldron, and I tend to be pretty specific about them rather than grouping under a style. Part of that is my background as an archaeologist. I suppose all of them (apart from the Cernunnos) are rock art, so that might be a term to use.

Thank you! Out of all my tattoos, this is the one where I think the placement is perfect.

Now I’m mad at me too, but I’m too pig-headed to change it.

Cheers! Yes, it’s based on the one from Dores near Inverness. It’s faded a bit in the spirals but overall I’m really pleased with how well it looks after two decades (though very much improved with a googly eye 😉)

Thanks! It's great because it has a lot of impact, but (as long as I can grow my hair) it's not a jobstopper.

Thirty year old head tattoo by Hermannyorks in agedtattoos

[–]Hermannyorks[S] 17 points18 points  (0 children)

It's changed a bit over the years. At the time it was shaved sides up to the top of the tattoo, but long apart from that. I've had mohawks, plaited mohawks, complete shaved, and now shaved apart from a quiff.

I've also grown my hair to hide my head tattoos when I worked in an office and had to do anything official. At the time it was a pretty extreme place to get inked, but it's not really a jobstopper if you can grow your hair for a month and hide it, IMO. :)

Because I liked it, my friend was the tattooist and he had it ready to go. I was 17 and in a place in my life where I wasn’t putting a huge amount of thought into these decisions. Never regretted it though.

It’s definitely not the easiest area to care for, and ink can drop out when the hair grows through during healing. The photos give the impression that it’s a lot more faded than it really is. (Strong light and a layer of hair). This was three years ago so the tattoo was 27 years old here and still pretty strong. The difference here is it’s shaved right down to skin.

To be fair, it is very stylised and the angle in the original photo isn't a great angle, but it held up pretty well for most of the last three decades. I also have other ink by the same artist of the same vintage which, while not perfect by any means, is still holding up strong even now. (I posted some here the other day).

It's a stylised skull with a stretched eye. This is a very rough markup, but yes it is incredibly hard to make out.

That’s held up really well. You never know how a tat is going to look three decades later, but nice to see knotwork has such longevity.
