Posting time! Well first off I would like you all to meet Li'Saa a Nuada. Fleur de Lis’ Nuada specifically. In anthro, original and my current art style forms.
One of the Expedition 40 crew members aboard the International Space Station photographed this oblique night image of almost the entire country of Italy and the islands of Sicily, Corsica and Sardinia on July 26, 2014.
I’ve been neglecting my Tumblr account for weeks… damn.
Anyway, I’m still around just lurking. I’ve been thinking of opening up cash commissions here and in dA again. But no Paypal ‘cause I have some issues about it. I’ve been looking up in xoom.com for money transfer because some of my friends have been using it.
As a paranormal blogger, a lot of people ask me about my most favorite horror movie.
And I have to say this movie. It really gave me the creeps. Also, you may or may not know, but there’s REAL event behind it.
Centralia, Pennsyvania was once a bustling mine town.
A fire at the town dump ignited an exposed coal seam, setting off a MASSIVE fire that eventually led to the demolition of nearly every building in Centralia — a whole community of 1,400 simply gone.
This fire still burns TODAY. The entire city is abandoned.
Actually, it isn’t completely abandoned. There is a population of 10(as of 2012) and it still remains the least-populated municipality in Pennsylvania.
Thank you for the added information.
Anyway here are some connections of Centralia with the game/movie I got from this site
FOG
The fog effect in the game represents that constant carbon monoxide gas that keeps spewing up from underneath, creating the smokey poisonous atmosphere in Centralia. .
Town The empty foggy town of Centralia, which had general stores, elementary schools, post office’s and other stores, represent the town Silent Hill.
Road Blocks The constant road blocks that you witness in the game when you reach a caved in dead end, represent the unexpected route blocks that are distributed outside of Centralia, which are put their as part of a safety procedure leaving only one road available to enter Centralia. This is also another element that is displayed in the movie and games.
Secret Society The secret society within Silent Hill, represent the Molly McGuire’s, a secret society consisting of Irish only, that use to coincide within the town during the 1800’s. They were known for kidnapping people and their criminal activities within Centralia.
For all those heavily debating amongst themselves about whether Centralia influenced the movie or the game, can we all just be friends and enjoy the realized connections between the real event and the movie/game regardless of what came first
This post said that there’s a real event behind the video/game and that there are connections (which there are), and not that this thing is based on the other thing.
Silent Hill is pretty much my favorite of anything ever and I love anything connected to it. (This is the first time I’ve heard about that secret society, though)
The Silent Hill Wiki has a pretty good list of ‘inspirational works’ (though it appears they left out Hans Bellmer in the artists section, which is a bit disappointing.)
Example of one of Bellmer’s dolls:
They also have a pretty good section about Jacob’s Ladder, which had a huge impact on some of the visuals.
And Session 9:
TL;DR Silent Hill is awesome and draws from a lot of fascinating sources. I love all of it and I love excuses to talk about it.
Please don’t forget to mention Francis Bacon!!
His artwork influenced (from what I remember reading) all of the above. If you take a look through his paintings, you’ll see the details that are prevalent in Silent Hill especially. (Look at the concept art/official art for Pyramid head)
Typically, planets much larger than Earth would be gas giants. That’s what we thought, anyway. But now astronomers have discovered an exoplanet seventeen times heavier than Earth, made up of rock and solids, some 560 light-years away. Not only is the planet exceptionally large for its composition, it’s also surprisingly old. Its parent solar system is 11 billion years old. In order to make the heavier elements needed to create an earthy planet, you require stellar nucleosynthesis—stars merging atomic nuclei into successively heavier elements until they explode, dispersing the mass, which can then form planets. There weren’t a whole lot of heavy elements present in the universe less than three billion years after the Big Bang, but apparently, there was enough to create Kepler-10c. Fascinating.
Think of the implications for life elsewhere in the universe. Although we have yet to confirm its existence, the conditions conducive to it could have appeared much earlier than one would have thought.
Inactivity here, inactivity there… yeah I think that’s what you’ve noticed. School has taken it’s toll again. Most of the time I would draw for t-shirt designs, poster designs and so forth. But I still assure you I still post or reblog things whenever I can. Once or twice a week.
