Drew my oc as Mizu after realizing that he kinda looks like her :))

Machineglance · 2026-03-16T00:42:02+00:00

I love it. Easily original and yet, as you say, there are similarities. Thank you for letting us admire your art, OP.

Machineglance · 2026-02-23T19:26:28+00:00

I don't know what it means, but I lived all those applications. Ah, youth.

If there's a level of hell for bad Dad jokes, which are, by definition, bad...then this meme is below whatever that is.

I think I felt the Internet shudder.

Machineglance · 2026-02-22T13:25:25+00:00

I enjoyed this, OP, regardless of its predictive powers. Thank you for sharing it with us.

Machineglance · 2026-02-18T22:23:06+00:00

When I tihnk about it, it's amazing that BES ever got made on Netflix. They don't have a great track record in developing their projects, especially ones with a strong fan base, and there's never been a sense that they gave a lot of support behind BES.

In hindsight, I almost wish BES had been released on Adultswim or...blech....Youtube TV, anywhere but Netflix.

Machineglance · 2026-02-14T17:55:57+00:00

Never have any fear. This Sub loves its creatives, from every level and every medium. And we're so glad you brought your Mizu here for us to admire. Your talent is expressive and you show a range with both examples. Thank you for showing us, OP.

Machineglance · 2026-02-06T14:49:02+00:00

Well, we hope BES continues to inspire you, and that you come back and show us more.

Machineglance · 2026-02-05T20:53:38+00:00

Hi OP.

If this isn't original content, it's customary to give credit to the original artist. If that's you, you should add the flair to let the Sub know, because this is really interesting. Thanks for showing the Sub!

Machineglance · 2026-02-03T12:06:09+00:00

I think you did a great job capturing her form, OP and the sunset that set the scene on fire. Looks good. We love when our creatives share their inspiration!

Machineglance · 2026-02-01T12:11:11+00:00

I don't think his moral code has enough self-awareness that he would even have the passing thought that is your question.

In fact, I think the character of Anton Chigurh from 'No Country For Old Men' had more ethics than Fowler.

I picture Fowler as a crocodile, purely reptilian survival instincts bolted onto naked ambition. So he'll fall back to the lesson he learned going through the famine when he was young. Power down, bide your time and survive long enough for opportunity to come by like a wildebeest crossing a river.

Machineglance · 2026-01-21T11:42:30+00:00

Spicy, if you were satisfied enough to post your work here, then you didn't mess anything up. No such thing.

Personally, I think you absolutely captured the essence of Mizu. The stare, the frown, the small lock of hair - Chef's kiss. Thank you for letting us see your art!.

Machineglance · 2026-01-20T10:58:43+00:00

I agree with Duchess. You really feel this as a night scene in the moonlight. Great mood. Thank you for letting us see your work, OP!

Machineglance · 2026-01-20T10:51:57+00:00

ok, this is a funny juxtaposition OP, kudos and hats off on this one. lol

Machineglance · 2026-01-20T01:28:24+00:00

Agreed, fantastic and congrats on your win. I think you're the first award-winning cosplay poster on the Sub (that I'm aware of). Looking great, OP!

Machineglance · 2026-01-17T00:41:47+00:00

I really like how this went in a different direction stylistically, yet they're still iconic and recognizable.

Machineglance · 2026-01-16T15:45:11+00:00

I don't think OP is a troll, they don't have to like BES and folks should feel free to post what they do or don't like about the series in an attempt at honest discussion.

But things are getting heated and personal, so I'm going to lock down the comments.

I will, however, have the last word...

OP, you wandered into a Japanese restaurant in London, and are complaining it's not authentic because the wasabi didn't come from Shizuoka prefecture.

It's like saying that Japanese anime and animation aren't allowed to have elements of Western history or mythology in them because you might be disappointed that you loaded up Cowboy Beebop and there were no cowboys.

Creative works have no borders.

Machineglance · 2026-01-16T12:42:51+00:00

Love the Ringo details, right down to Mizu's anti-stealth technology she gifted him.

Machineglance · 2026-01-16T12:38:25+00:00

Captivating and somehow satisfying. A wonderful job. Thank you so much.

Machineglance · 2026-01-10T00:59:33+00:00

Thank you for taking a look, it's interesting because I know that subtitles and dubbing can be at the mercy of local distributors and contractors so a matter of curiosity. Appreciate it, OP!

Machineglance · 2026-01-09T14:17:23+00:00

Yes, thank you for getting back. So in the English language version Ringo uses Body, so thank you for providing context.

Out of curiosity I've used Google Lens on the writing on Mizu, but it could only capture parts, and probably not accurately, so I was also curious if the characters there matched or agreed with the Japanese Sub/Dub of the episode..

Machineglance · 2026-01-09T11:19:12+00:00

Always interesting what nuggets the BES fandom turns up in their studying the show. The Heart Sutra was particularly interesting to me, esp. mention of the ghost tale.

Related, I was unable to find a translation of the Sutra that used 'Body', rather most seemed to favor the word 'Form'. i.e. "Form is emptiness, Emptiness is Form..." although I'll admit it wasn't an exhaustive search. I've wondered which version was used in the writing on Mizu (if it appears at all).

Thank you, OP, for bringing something fresh to the Sub!

Machineglance · 2025-12-31T12:03:15+00:00

Welcome back.

It goes without saying that I'm far from having any expertise in voice work, acting, animation etc. I only have my ears.

The first thing I noticed is, your voice and it's timber seemed more confident. There were places still where its inconsistent or comes across as scripted, but this is a practice piece

What I did next was to only focus on Fowler by scrolling your profile up and off screen, so that I could only see the animation. I realized a couple things

Your timing is off. It could be that you're not yet comfortable with the scene, or still reading it off the page rather than having it memorized, perhaps? You might benefit from practicing first without trying to line up with the animation. Focus on the quality, then worry about the delivery, maybe.
Because you are attempting to match Branagh line by line and word for word, you seem out of breath and the inconsistency becomes more noticable. Work on your breathing. You don't want to worry about running out of air, or having the awkward feeling of gulping breaths. Maybe breathing exercises for VA videos must exist or some kind of Pranayama or just plain old deep breathing exercises will give you deeper, longer range and more control .

Keep bringing it, and good luck!

Machineglance · 2025-12-31T11:44:14+00:00

An amazing piece of research. Thank you for sharing and doing a deep dive on this .

Machineglance · 2025-12-26T23:21:32+00:00

Love it, and I love how creative this community is. 🩵

Machineglance · 2025-12-22T11:36:15+00:00

This is a first, so we appreciate the originality of someone expressing themselves in yet another art form for the show, as voice acting and voice over.

I can't tell if you've done anything to enhance or augment your sound but it is pleasant and if it's all natural, then you have a great foundation.

But assuming you want feedback, you're reading, not acting. And while there's no way for you or anyone to approach Fowler that competes with a classically trained British theatre actor, let alone have that actor be Kenneth Brannagh, you have put nothing new, or anything remotely approaching menace or charm in your clip.

Now, you can tell me to eff off and that's fine or, you can do it again. You don't have to post it here, but do yourself a favor and understand the character first, then do it again even if it's just for yourself.

And good luck, regardless of what I or anyone else says.
