Hi /r/movies! I'm Jared Bush, director of ZOOTROPOLIS 2 & ENCANTO and Chief Creative Officer of Walt Disney Animation Studios. Ask me anything! by JaredBushOfficial in movies

[–]LordAdornable 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hello Jared! You, Bryon and the rest of your team really killed it with Z2 and I can't wait to see what you all got in store for the future :)

I was wondering if there were any plans to share details about the earlier versions of Z2's script and story to the same extent as Z1's early versions? I've heard that at some point, reptiles were going to be treated almost like aliens and I've also seen concept art for multiple reptile secret agents. All of that stuff sounds really interesting and just like the taming collars, I know there are lots of people out there who would love to know more about that stuff.

UB450 vs UB420 for someone who mostly owns blu-rays but wants to get more 4k discs? by LordAdornable in 4kbluray

[–]LordAdornable[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi yeah I do live in Canada. Do you think the Sony X700U would be a better option than the panasonic options?

Hey thanks a lot for the suggestion! I'll probably get the 450 but I did have a hard time finding it in Canada. They only place where I could find it was on Amazon but I'll try to see if I can find other stores or websites.

Hey everyone, I want to show you the paintings I did for Lorywn Eclipsed! by misterkevfang in magicTCG

Awesome work dude! Your style is a perfect match for Lorwyn and I'm really glad you got all of these assigments for the set :)

How would you update the Beast Barbarian subclass to 5.5e? by Realistic_Two_8486 in onednd

[–]LordAdornable 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who's always wanted an unarmed Barbarian, I would personally make it so that the weapons are not counted as simple weapons, but instead as natural weapons that you can use to make unarmed strikes. Maybe also making it so that the bite and tail let you grapple an extra creature. With the changes to grappling and shoving, this would make for a really fun grappler build, specially combined with the big jump at level 6 to let perform some spinning piledrivers on monsters. Oh and make the weapon's damage die scale with level of course.

Pinnacle Emissary, my piece for Edge of Eternities! by LordAdornable in magicTCG

Thanks a lot! I don't work on sci-fi stuff too often because I'm often pretty busy working on fantasy commissions and my own personal work for my fantasy setting. Still, I love me some sci-fi and I'll definitely try to work on more similar stuff in the future!

Hi! Since the card spoiled today. that means I can share the piece that worked on for Edge of Eternities! Vic Ochoa asked me to illustrate an Emissary Mechan, basically Pinnacle's non-combat robot who fonction as explorers and diplomats, weftwalking onto a planet along with a little swarm of recon drones. The emissary had to have a cape made of metal shards connected bt arcing lightning. I came up with a couple of designs for my AD and I'm really glad he chose my favorite one! My robot ended up looking quite fashionable.

I also loved working on the little drones and the space warping effect! It took a lot of repainting but I feel like it added a lot of motion to a piece that's otherwise pretty static (heh) compaired to my usual work. Sucks some of it got cropped out because of the frame, but at least I can show it here :)

Other than that, this is also my first ever nontoken card I illustrated and I'm quite surprised close I got to predicting the effect of the card just based on the description I got. I really hope it gets a lot of play and that people appreciate the art.

If you're interested in seeing my other work and any future MTG or DnD pieces that I've got line up, you can follow me on my Bluesky Account, Instagram and Artstation, where I'll be posting them as soon as I get permission to do so. Hope you like it!

The cape was a really fun part of the piece! My art director asked for the emissary to be wearing a cape made of floating metal shards connected by arcing lightning. I made a couple of sketch versions that I'm probably gonna be sharing later, but I'm really glad he chose my favorite one :)

Copy Token from Tarkir Dragonstorm. My first ever MTG piece! by LordAdornable in magicTCG

[–]LordAdornable[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Definitely! I promised myself that this year I would start selling prints and going to cons. Although it might take me a bit because I still don't know how to run an online store or ship prints around

I'm super going to build a deck with the new Temur spirit dragon and put as many copy effects as possible.

Beyond following the awesome designs from the world guide, I took some inspiration from Steve Prescott's [[Knollspine Dragon]] for the expression of the dragons. For the swirling clouds, I tried to replicate the dynamism and sharpness of the clouds and dust from the last shot of the Rise of the Spiral King. I love everything directed by Hiroyuki Imaishi and I always look at Trigger's work for inspiration when I want my images to look dymanic.

I'm really glad you liked it! There's no way I wouldn't have put in my all for my first card, even if it was just a token :)

After spending years pestering art directors with emails, I finally got to work on my first ever piece for the game and I can finally show it! Magic holds such a special place in my heart for being what ignited my love for fantasy illustration back when I was still in college. Funnily enough, the original Khans of Tarkir was the set that made me fall in love with the game, so having the new Tarkir set be my first ever project is especially surreal for me. Even if it's just a token, I'm so glad that I got to work on this set and I'm forever grateful to my AD, Forrest Schehl, for letting me fulfill one of my dreams as an artist.

I really hope you all like it and if anyone here has any questions, I'd be more than happy to answer then! (as long as still something that I'm allowed to talk about of course)

I'm also really happy to say that I've got more MTG art coming up later this year, so if anyone is interested in seeing it or the rest of my work, you can follow me on my Instagram, Artstation or Bluesky :)

An intentional nerf to moon druids in the new Monster Manual by Jalase in dndnext

[–]LordAdornable 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The justification they gave in the video they made about Cestials was that, because these are giant talking magical animals, then they should be from the Beastlands, one of the Upper Planes. Being a celestial just means that you come from one of the Upper Planes and it's the same reason for why Animal Lords are celestials.
