I wish wizards were real so bad imagine coming out of a wal mart and seeing some guy with long robes and a big hat in the parking lot surrounded by wacky particle effects screaming some shit like “By the moon and the starlight, by the shield and the sword, I summon to me, my Honda Accord!” And then just getting into his car and driving off
You could do this if you weren’t a goddamn coward
Buy me a car then and I will
this you? skill issue. weak spells, weak conjurations, can’t even transmute. robes wrinkled to h e double hockeysticks
I mean to be fair you’ve got a point, I was a bona-fide martial class until I made the decision to start multiclassing about 5 minutes ago
Lowkey sounds like you’re deflecting though, unable to conjure the sufficient funds, perhaps?
your words have ✨whimsically✨ harmed me
Welcome to wizards here’s your badge and gun
🫸💨 💨💨💨 🪪 🔫
Thank you! I look forward to learning all sorts of spells soon!
Maybe some day I will be able to summon my own Honda Accord lmao
Before the computing era, ILM was the master of oil matte painting, making audiences believe that some of the sets in the original Star Wars and Indiana Jones trilogy were real when they weren’t. They were the work of geniuses like Chris Evans,Michael Pangrazio,Frank Ordaz, Harrison Ellenshaw and Ralph McQuarrie! Forever thank you, to their handmade art and the work of their colleagues, that made us dream of impossible worlds and fantastic places across Earth and the Universe.
There are more background paintings on this article, featuring comments by the masters/artists themselves !
Some of the following pieces were made by other artists 2:
exCUSE ME?!?!!??!??! TheYRE PAINTINGS?!??!!?!
SHUT UP I thought they were miniatures!!!!
It’s too beautiful. I could cry.
I love this because I’ll be watching a movie and think “how did they do that? Is that a building they built for this movie? Was it there beforehand? Is it cardboard or CGI? Is that actually some place on Earth that they’re filming?” And the answer to all of these now is “nope, that’s a painting”. I can’t believe some of the most iconic, familiar shots were paintings!
imagine a time where people actually were given the time, reverance, and pay to make real hands on art & it paid off by making multiple multi-generationally beloved classics raking in billions of their almighty dollar??? instead of mass marketed hollywood horse shit
