@sivakomako.bsky.social did the shapes, and I rendered / animated 🔥

Been a minute since I’ve done something not Avatar-related, but I’m lending my assistance to a first-of-its-kind Dune: Awakening event this Saturday at 9:00pm EST.

Race across the sands in a Sandbike race to the finish! More details on discord.gg/dune-eurasia

Couldn’t stop myself once I started. Stayed up way too late for this. Here’s The Gap Year cover, with the text removed.

Happy Friday, AvatarSky

We’re really never gonna get another Star Wars project like Andor, are we

I can see this being a future for theatrical entertainment. It’s accessible, you could charge ticketing fees, it’s DRM protected. Everything you would need to make it sustainable.

I’ve been saying this for a while, but exclusive experiences like the one Fortnite is running right now where you can log in and watch proper Star Wars television episodes in-game are what it will take to make the platform the true Metaverse.

Finally getting to The Sky Breaker and Secrets of the Spires + straight aura farming with the new shader effects in Frontiers of Pandora

Woke up to Conclave becoming one of the single most important movies I have watched in my lifetime.

I already have an idea of who we might have for OC26 and it’s gonna be exciting (and potentially divisive 👀)

Damn, high praise. Thanks!

It’s absurd to me how much better looking this show is in comparison to the rest of the Disney+ shows.

DPs matter, folks!

I have been far too busy for social media of late (the Na’vi would call it sulìn, good busy) but I’m popping on just to say that the Trading feature for Pokémon TCGP is very not good.

Thanks! It’s a custom Loth Wolf inspired one :)

If you’re following me from OmatiCon, hi!

I’m Mako. I make things. Art, communities, problems, you name it!

Stick around for Mandalorian stuff, Red Rising stuff, and occasionally Avatar/Kelutral stuff!

Watching the opening discuss between @joshuaizzo.bsky.social and @sivakomako.bsky.social and literally vibrating in my seat. #AvatarSky

A Mandalorian in green, terracotta, and beige standing against the white sands and blue skies of White Sands National Park in New Mexico.

My dad came to visit this time last year and we took a few costumes out to different parts of New Mexico. This hits the expansive qualities of Star Wars beautifully and remains one of my favorite images ever.

Thanks! That gold paint is my new obsession

To be fair Iron Gold is a MAJOR tonal shift from the first three, which feel like “young adult’s first introduction to space politics”. It makes sense to me that people start it and don’t finish the series.

The creation of Breath of Stone was an all-time series high for me. Absolutely insane moment.

Yep, I’m there 😂 Currently re-reading for the 2nd time this year (first time was my first time, the brain rot took hold instantly).

Hail Libertas!

The first book is BY FAR the most formulaic. If you’re expecting Hunger Games/Maze Runner/Divergent out of the rest of the series, don’t. Book 2 takes a hard left turn into space politics and opera. It’s great

Already done ✅ No going back!

I read the article before replying and don’t have much more to add than what I wrote above. It’s fine if it didn’t work for you, but just like, say that?

Couching your opinion in a criticism of the methods other Star Wars shows have used (but this one didn’t) creates a weird cognitive dissonance.

This is a really baffling take. What was that first episode if not exactly what a pilot episode should be?

Introduced us to the cast, established the core conflict of the show, provided the call to action, and generally set the events of the series in motion.

Quality aside, is that not a pilot?

As someone who doesn’t use TikTok but loves Red Rising, what does TikTok say about it

3D printed covers of the original Red Rising trilogy, hand painted for a client

Full Red Rising 3D cover print set photo, before I ship these off to a buyer tomorrow!

I really enjoyed the process of painting these and they turned out so much better than expected. I hope they find a place of honor in their new home!

Spotify Wrapped summary featuring my top artists and songs. My top artists are The 1975, Joshua Burnside, Holly Humberstone, Taylor Acorn and Taylor Swift. My top songs are Love It If We Made It, TOOTIMETOOTIMETOOTIME, Lightenup, Antichrist, and Adding To The Noise.

I’m not beating the “rabid The 1975 stan” allegations this year either, I guess.
