I had a 1966 Buick Riviera, and a friend of mine was rebuilding the engine. I met my husband 15 years ago, and he wanted to get tattooed from me. Myles: Maybe my favorite tattoo I've ever done would be the one that hooked me up with my husband. Green: What is your favorite tattoo that you've ever done? You have these tattooers that do stuff that looks like it could have been done in jail. The weirdest thing that I've seen recently is people getting very crude tattoos done: They want it to look like it was a tattoo their grandpa had that might not be well executed, or might even be done. People were really into having all that history and referencing all those old designs and artists and everything.Īlso there were all these highly skilled tattooers working with super-hyper-realism or watercolor tattooing. There was this rejection of that look, like people would say, "I don't want it to look like something my grandpa had." Then, traditional tattoos became really popular, where that was all people were getting. I've been tattooing for 25 years, and when I first started tattooing in the ‘90s, people didn't want to get traditional tattoos. Myles: I would say I'm very influenced by traditional American tattooing: bold outlines, bright colors, and shading. Green: Have you noticed any kind of trends in tattooing? It’s pushed the aesthetic along quite a bit. Artists improve so fast now, because they’re looking at all of this other work. You just used your private reference library. When I started tattooing, we didn't have Google or anything like that. Now, with social media, everybody's got tremendous resources to look at for reference and inspiration. As far as types of people go, literally everyone has tattoos now.Īlso it's changed quite a bit technically, as far as the types of artists that are in the industry. Even if you go to more conservative areas, they get the same tattoo reality-TV shows, and are much more aware of the industry. Now, no matter where you go, people are exposed to it. You didn't even really see that many people that were heavily tattooed. It wasn't acceptable, especially for women. Myles: Tattooing was just such an outsider thing when I first started. How have you seen the industry grow and change now that tattooing is mainstream? Green: You mention that when you first started tattooing, it was kind of hush-hush. I try to fit in time to take care of the business of the shop, because I own it. Myles: Usually, in the mornings, I sketch whatever I have to do for the day, and then I go to work. Green: What is an average day like for you as a tattoo artist? It was more like a health-code violation. You didn't advertise that you were tattooing, and there was no sign outside people would have to call up to be let in, but at the same time, the ban wasn't enforced. Everybody knew who was tattooing in the city, and there used to be these underground meetings called the Tattoo Society. I feel very fortunate that I was able to work before the ban was lifted, because it was such a completely different sort of community back then. Myles: It took me a little bit longer to get good based on it being illegal, because you get better by working in a shop and having artists around you. Green: What was it like to try to hone your skills while it was still illegal in New York City? There are definitely more women in the industry now, but it's still a guys’-club system. In the long run, it's something that has helped me stand out. When I started tattooing, people maybe took me less seriously as a woman tattooer. In 1997, when tattooing was legalized, I opened up my shop with my business partner. At some point around 1989, I had a friend who got a starter kit to start tattooing, and I was like, "Oh, maybe I could try doing this too." It wasn't common for women to be tattooing, and there were no traditional apprenticeships available because tattooing was illegal in New York until 1997, so I kind of stumbled along for the first couple of years. I started getting tattooed when I was in high school whenever I got a chance, if I had any extra money, I'd get another tattoo. Tattooing is so much a part of who I am on so many levels, even literally. Michelle Myles: I've always been an artist, and I came to New York to go to art school at Parsons School of Design.

They’re at an age now where their friends are discovering things their mum did things in her career when she was a lot younger, so that’s challenging too.Wild Things is a 1998 erotic thriller film directed by John McNaughton, starring Matt Dillon, Kevin Bacon, Denise Richards, Neve Campbell, and Bill Murray. “I don’t want to see my mum in that way either. “My daughters have not seen it and they don’t want to see it which I’m glad, I don’t want them to. “Having teenage daughters now, knowing I did this movie, it has been a little challenging explaining it to them and their friends have seen it,” she said. “If we did it today, I think it would be a different storyline.”Īnd while Richards has no regrets about being in the film, she confessed that there are challenges associated with her involvement. While Wild Things remains a potent cultural touchstone of the late 1990s, Richards said in 2020 that there are aspects of that movie which would be “not appropriate” for today, especially the subplot where Dillon’s character is a teacher to Campbell and Richards’ on-screen avatars. Kevin Bacon went full-frontal nudity in the film. Unfortunately, the financiers didn’t like the idea of men making out. I thought it was great because the whole movie is about secrets coming out, right? “Actually, the movie almost came with another surprise for people to talk about, because Matt was going to climb in the shower with me. There was another scene that ended up being cut because, at the time, it perceived as being too wild for even Wild Things. It really wasn’t a big deal.”īut Bacon said that the little flash in that scene wasn’t meant to be the end of it. Later in 2005, Bacon told Total Film, “I didn’t think any more about it so I was shocked, really shocked, when everyone kept on about it after the movie’s release. The movie’s editor, Elena Maganini, had wanted that take and McNaughton said he told her that Bacon wasn’t going to like that but when they called the actor, he had apparently said, “Well, how do I look?” When McNaughton replied, “You look good, Kevin”, the Footloose star said, “No problem!”.īacon at one point recalled that his full frontal scene was the subject of every interview and press conference in the US, but that he was never asked about it in Europe. As director John McNaughton explained, the scene was to have Bacon’s bits covered by a towel but in one take, the towel didn’t do its job. Wild Things was one of the last erotic thrillers of the 1980s and 1990s.īut a “no nudity” clause didn’t stop Bacon’s, well, bacon, from being on full show. Starring Campbell, Richards (relatively fresh on the scene, coming off the back of her break-out role in Starship Troopers), Bacon, Matt Dillon and Bill Murray, Wild Things still holds a spot in the cultural canon, as one of the last sexual thrillers that were in vogue for a time in American cinema – Basic Instinct, Body Heat and Body of Evidence among them. It was all over the movie’s marketing – can anyone ever forget that poster – and the promise of that kiss, and a threesome, drew audiences in, tripling Wild Things’ budget at the box office. It’s like everyone in the audience was Kevin Bacon’s Ray – voyeuristically witnessing something that wasn’t for them.Įxcept of course, it was. The image of Campbell and Denise Richards passionately kissing in a motel pool after a knockdown fight sent hearts racing. Campbell’s “trailer trash” character Suzie couldn’t have been more different from the two roles that made her famous, Party of Five’s Julia Salinger and Scream’s Sidney Prescott. Wild Things was seen as quite the risk for Neve Campbell, then an “it”-girl-next-door. It also famously featured a same-sex pair-up in an era when such things were not so common in Hollywood movies. And it has more twists than a bag of chocolate-covered pretzels. In the 25 years – this month – since Wild Things came out in cinemas, the sexual thriller has lost none of its allure. Firstly, your choice from the limited character roster has zero impact on your game. Rather than take you through all the reasons why Hyper Scape is similar to other battle royale offerings - you know the deal by now, right? - it's probably more helpful to talk about how it differs. Imagine my surprise, then, when I realised Hyper Scape's frantic pace and novel mechanics have hooked me in a way I didn't quite expect. Also, Cyberpunk 2077 isn't even here yet, but I'm already tired of neo-daubed skylines. My innate love of battle royales that don't start with an F is well-documented here, but it's a market that feels agonisingly close to saturation, and I'm not sure I can shoehorn any other regular game into my weekly rotation. I'm pretty sure it doesn't matter how long you spend training, getting accustomed to the weapons and abilities: Hyper Scape is all about on-the-job-training.Īnd given it's just us here, I'll be honest I wasn't interested in it. Yes, it talks you through the mechanics - well, kind of - but in truth, everything you need to know about Hyper Scape unfolds from the moment you're sniped from a rooftop for the first time. There's a training mode, but much like being shown how to pull a pint will never properly prepare you for the mayhem of bar work in a rugby club at half-time, it does nothing. Hyper Scape is relentless and breathless and almost unapologetically overwhelming, which is potentially why, less than an hour in, I've Sharpied "OMFG I CAN'T COPE" in block caps across an entire double page. There's no opportunity for me to pause, contemplate, and jot down an incisive word or two. There's no downtime in Hyper Scape, you see. I keep notes as I play, and never has my handwriting looked more erratic. The rest of the time, I'm dead before I've even found myself a weapon. Most of the time, I don't even know where my squadmates are, let alone can throw myself into the line of fire. The truth, however, is that in Hyper Scape, I rarely take anyone else down with me. I could cope if I was taking an enemy down with me, perhaps, or heroically throwing myself in front of a squadmate as a final, selfless, meatshield-esque hurrah. I wouldn't mind if I was bowing out as a hero. Availability: Out now on PC, PS4 and Xbox One.But before I get the chance to follow suit - before I even raise my gun - I've been one-shotted by an invisible sniper, and I'm dead. Suddenly, my pal turns and trains his Hexfire over at the rooftop across from me, and I realise we're not alone. Bullets are flying past - miraculously, not a single one hits me - and I tear after my teammates, roof tiles tinkling beneath my feet. Spotting the telltale golden glow I throw myself onto jump pad and launch up onto the rooftops. From Fortnite’s Operation Snowdown, to Apex Legends’ Fight or Fright, it seems like there’s a new LTM every week in the competing Battle Royale titles – and the player numbers rise too.There's plenty that's familiar about Ubisoft's belated entry into a bloated genre, but there's plenty that's quietly impressive too. Taking a leaf out of Fortnite or Apex Legends’ book may be a good idea – both games frequently offer new and interesting limited-time game modes, whether seasonal or otherwise. The idea was good in theory, but in practice, resulted in bugged servers and confusing gameplay. The LTMs Hyper Scape has offered have been mediocre at best, with Faction War being the most recent. But what else can Ubisoft do to really push their title back into the limelight? MORE ENGAGING LTMS It’s a good start, and as the developers themselves stated, the overhaul isn’t over yet. While the crossplay element has already been introduced, following on from the December game update, Team Deathmatch was also included – to many fans delights. After asking for honest fan feedback, Hyper Scape devs laid out their five-pronged attack for reviving their game on September 30, and Ubisoft outlined changes into combat comfort, onboarding, game modes, player goals, and crossplay. The integrated automatic conversion, Bizet drawing tools, mixing and merging of fonts, Unicode and OpenType support, and auto-tip are also improved. New tools have been added to allow font designers to see glyphs on a two-dimensional page, rather than on a horizontal line.

But if you’re a professional type designer, FontLab Studio gives you the ultimate control over all aspects of the font. Harrison explained the relationship between the company’s two major font editing products, Fontographer and FontLab Studio: “Any designer who can draw Bézier outlines can make a high-quality font using Fontographer. On the other hand, setting technical font parameters such as font naming or linespacing in Fontographer used to be cumbersome and did not consider recent developments such as OpenType-so we’ve redesigned those aspects from scratch with the goal of making them as easy to use as the rest of the product.” The actual developer of the program is FontLab Ltd.

FontLab lies within System Utilities, more precisely Fonts. According to Adam Twardoch, FontLab’s product and marketing manager, “The beauty of Fontographer is that it allows you to concentrate on the creative process of designing a typeface, without being distracted by the technical aspects of font making. FontLab is an integrated font editor for macOS 10.1210.15, macOS 11 Big Sur, and Windows 710 that helps you create fonts from start to finish.

However death had no impact on him still being a constant recurring part of that game's plot, not only as an unseen influence, but also as a physical one too. After the fateful opening sections of The Last of Us 2, Joel naturally ceases to be an option for the player to assume control of directly. After all, having been such a central figure in Ellie's life makes it seem likely that the studio will find a way to have the character reappear.įrom a thematic perspective, the studio has also already done a lot of the ground work that could facilitate this. Beyond ensuring further dissections of humanity at the edge of the apocalypse following the collapse of society, this news could prove to be an important hint that Joel will appear at some point down the road. In the same interview that confirmed that the creative minds at Naughty Dog have already penciled in an outline for a potential The Last of Us 3, it was also revealed that the same themes would define a sequel as well. RELATED: The Last of Us Fan Art Shows Ellie and Joel's Entire Journey in Wonderful Detail Throughout each entry in the franchise, be it a game, DLC expansion, or a piece of tie-in media, Ellie has demonstrated countless times that she is the main protagonist of The Last of Us. Retiring her, especially with her story currently having no conclusion, also seems unlikely. In a lot of ways, Naughty Dog has cleverly tied the player and Ellie together through a set of shared experiences and feelings, which ensures that both parties in many ways need the same answers to the Joel-sized issue that's lingered over the franchise since The Last of Us 2.Įven though it's hard to say exactly what form that resolution will take, it's for these reasons that Joel fans can safely assume that his influence will still be felt over the cycle of death and revenge, regardless of the whether or not he physically appears again in some capacity. During the closing hours of the The Last of Us 2, for example, Ellie and Tommy were also shown to still be struggling to come to terms with the fact that they had lost such an important family member. Joel's subsequent absence in The Last of Us 3 will no doubt have a profound impact on the characters and universe of the series in general, as it's impossible to imagine Naughty Dog will be able to physically bring the character back. The pivotal role he played in the lives of Ellie, Tommy, and Abby, in the run up to his death, ensures that tackling the continued fallout of that fateful day will no doubt play a large role within the theoretical sequel's narrative. Having played through the tragic death of his own daughter Sarah, in the game's dramatic outbreak day prologue, many couldn't help but feel a sense of joy at the fact that he was eventually able to find happiness again through his surrogate daughter, Ellie. It's partly for this reason that his death at the hands of the similarly grief-stricken Abby, during the opening hours of The Last of Us 2, proved to be such a polarizing and tough event for some players to stomach. RELATED: The Last of Us Part 2 Mirrors Halo 5: Guardians in Many Ways Joel's Lingering Influence On The Last of UsĪs the franchise's first playable protagonist, fans naturally formed an attachment to Joel over the course of the original The Last of Us, as they invested in the character's literal and emotional journey. How exactly do all parties involved move on from the horrific murder, and subsequent absence, of Joel going forward? As the in-game universe currently stands, the second installment rolled its credits with more questions being asked than were truly answered, which leaves plenty of space for the studio to come up with a fitting resolution for the characters and players involved. Just like Ellie herself, Naughty Dog will however have to face a round of difficult questions about one controversial topic that still lingers over the franchise from The Last of Us 2. If an official announcement is ever made, a lot of the internet will naturally be filled with anticipation and excitement. Even though Naughty Dog has confirmed that it isn't actively working on the theoretical sequel, the fact that Neil Druckmann and Halley Gross have already created a rough outline for its story suggests that a seed has already been planted, that will one day bear apocalyptic fruit. Looking at the runaway critical and commercial success that Sony has reaped following The Last of Us 2, it seems almost inevitable that a The Last of Us 3 will eventually be announced, turning the franchise into a neat trilogy. Choose whichever keystrokes you think will be most memorable: I used q for the opening double quote, and Q for the closing quote, with Y (for ‘yes’) for the tick and X for the cross. You can continue to add the remaining shapes, assigning a key for each as you do so. This turns the two objects into a single shape. Select them both, open the Pathfinder panel, and click the first icon – “Unite”. If you create a shape that consists of two or more overlapping objects, such as this double quote, you need to unite them into a single shape or Fontself Maker will turn them into two glyphs. You can, if you wish, drag multiple shapes in here and rename them one at a time. When the glyph appears in your font, you’ll need to select the marker beneath it and type the key with which you want it associated. Since you’re creating a dingbats font, you need to drag them into the Any Character space at the bottom of the panel. Fontself Maker is designed for making alphabetic fonts, and makes it easy to drag entire upper or lower case alphabets and numbers into the panel to convert them all in one go. Open the Fontself Maker panel, and select your first shape – together with its upper and lower guides. Select the top guide and click its name in the panel, then rename it “capsheight”, then name the bottom one “baseline”. You can do this in Illustrator’s Layers Panel: open the current layer by clicking on the triangle next to its name, and you’ll see all the shapes and guides on that layer. When making a font of any kind you need to define the baseline and cap height, and you can do this by dragging guidelines down to the locations where you want them.īefore you import the glyphs into your font, you need to explicitly name the guidelines. I drew one arrow by making a triangle it was then easy to rotate this to make the arrows pointing in other directions. Since the key purpose of this font was to create arrows, it made sense to start with some arrow shapes. The font was build in Illustrator, using the Fontself Maker plug-in available from. And since I was building a font, it made sense to include the other glyphs I need regularly – circles in numbers, keyboard modifiers, social media logos, and a few other symbols for which I’ve previously had to hunt through Zapf Dingbats. It’s a senseless lack of correlation between shortcut and purpose, so I decided to build my own Dingbats font that used U for up, D for down, L for left and R for right. In Wingdings 3, you type T for the left arrow, U for right, P for up and D for down. I used the font Wingdings 3, which contains the arrows I wanted. Some time ago I designed a book in InDesign, in which I wanted the picture captions to have arrows pointing to the corresponding images. |
