Capcom reveals the 20-year-old guide it still uses today. By Wesley Yin-Poole Published 04/04/2017 Capcom has published scans of a 20-year-old guide it still uses today when creating Street Fighter characters. That's Demitri Maximoff from Darkstalkers on the cover. At GDC last month, Capcom's Toshiyuki Kamei delivered a talk on the art direction of Street Fighter 5. As part of it, he discussed Anatomy: A Strange Guide for Artists, a document created 20 years ago around the time Darkstalkers was being made. This document was edited by legendary Capcom artist Akira "Akiman" Yasuda, who intended for it to help teach the company's artists the rules of exaggerated anatomical features to be followed when making cool-looking pixel art. Now, Capcom has published scans of the guide on its website, and while the accompanying text is in Japanese, we still get a decent idea of what Anatomy: A Strange Guide for Artists is all about. The cover shows Demitri from the Darkstalkers series, and inside we see figure drawings similar to the style of Andrew Loomis, the American illustrator, alongside notes. "It explains shortcuts and rules about how we take musculature and a character's frame and make a sprite out of it," … Continue reading →

The day before law enforcement arrested the Rev. Kenneth Adkins in August 2016, he admitted to Georgia Bureau of Investigators agents he sent photos of his male anatomy to a man hes accused of molesting when that person was underage. Adkins is on trial in Glynn County Superior Court regarding multiple felonies for allegedly engaging in sexual acts with two victims A.J., a boy, and T.V., a girl when they were both 15 years old, between August 2009 and March 2010. Prosecutors played for the jury a recording of the GBIs interview with Adkins, in which after a friendly back-and-forth, the agents began pressing Adkins for clearer answers on his involvement with evidence they already had in hand. At one point, they specifically questioned his involvement with two photographs of a black males private parts sent from Adkins public relations companys email account to A.J. in November 2014. One agent could be heard saying, I know it was sent from your phone to your email to (A.J.). Adkins then said he only sent the photos because A.J. asked for them. That also occurred well after A.J. reached majority age, and Adkins reiterated that he did not mess around with children. … Continue reading →

Ellen Pompeo may have made her directorial debut on Grey's Anatomy last week but it was Kelly McCreary's Maggie who took center stage in "Be Still, My Soul." The emotional hour focused on a desperate Maggie putting her mother Diane (LaTanya Richardson Jackson) on an aggressive experimental treatment in attempt to save her from inflammatory breast cancer and firing Meredith (Pompeo) as her mother's surgeon in the process. Unfortunately, Diane passed away after complications from the clinical trial. Grey's Anatomy Recap: Is Maggie Able to Save Her Mother?>>> According to McCreary, who went through a range of emotions in the episode, she struggled with her character's tough situation. She also had to put herself in Maggie's shoes as she prepared for the inevitable tragedy. "To prepare, I did a lot of reading about IBC and the treatments, just the way that Maggie goes through trying to find out about what other patients had experienced," she continued. "In other words, I did research in the same way that Maggie did as she was trying to figure out how to treat her mother." Despite the devastating loss that will surely have an immense impact on Maggie's life moving forward, McCreary takes some … Continue reading →

Youd be hard-pressed to find a show more inclusive of Greys Anatomy did you see those docs wearing hijabs last week? but it still comes up short in one regard. There are no major male characters who are into other men. Its time that changed, and we have 16 reasons why. Greys Anatomy Season 13 airs on Thursdays at 8 p.m ET on ABC. Tip: Use keyboard arrows to navigate None of the shows 13 seasons so far has featured a major gay male character, so this inclusion seems long overdue. Characters like Callie, Arizona, Eliza, Penny, Erica, and Sadie have paved the way and countless Calzona shippers prove how well these same-sex storylines can work. Just this season, for example, two male fiancs arrived at the hospital after a turkey fryer accident. (Culinary foolishness knows no sexual orientation, apparently.) As Marketplace reports, the show has cashed in on the Netflix effect. That is to say, young viewers who were too young to be aware of Greys when it premiered in 2005 have discovered the shows past seasons on Netflix and have caught up to its live airings. When a fan asked the Greys Anatomy creator Why all the gay … Continue reading →

Between TV, film, and theater, is their a mediumyou like more than the other or do they all have the same amountof pros and cons? I think each one is fun for various reasons. To do a series like 13 Reasons Why, with 13 episodes, is similar to what it was like doing [FXs] Fargo. Its kind of like doing a book, where its almost like a longer movie where its fun to keep … Continue reading →

Actress Chandra Wilson, who plays a doctor on ABC's long-running hit drama "Grey's Anatomy," opened up about her family's real-life medical saga in an interview with "Good Morning America" that aired today. Wilson, who has played Dr. Miranda Bailey on "Grey's Anatomy" for the past 13 seasons, described the uncertainty and fear she faced when her daughter, Sarina McFarlane, 23, first became ill as a teenager. The Emmy-nominated actress said her daughter became afflicted with nausea, vomiting and crippling abdominal pain. McFarlane's mysterious illness baffled doctors, and Wilson said they went nearly 10 months before she finally got a diagnosis -- cyclic vomiting syndrome, or CVS, a neurological disorder characterized by a series of prolonged attacks of severe nausea and vomiting, with no apparent cause. "It presented itself like a real bad case of food poisoning," Wilson explained. "It didn't go away for four or five days so because of that we went to the ER." Wilson said emergency room doctors hydrated her daughter but none of the tests showed it was anything different. "A month later, the exact same presentation happened and this was month after month after month for 10 months," she said. Wilson kept a running log … Continue reading →

By Frank Pompa, Ramon Padilla, Mitchell Thorson USA TODAY March 30, 2017 SpaceX will attempt to make history Thursday night by reusing a rocket booster. The Falcon 9 rocket will deliver a communications satellite into orbit using a first-stage system that they used nearly a year ago. Heres a look at SpaceXs feat to launch and land the system back on Earth. The Falcon 9 is a two-stage rocket used to transport satellites and the Dragon spacecraft into orbit. Aluminum-lithium alloy tanks fuel nine Merlin engines with liquid oxygen and rocket-grade kerosene propellant, generating more than 1.7 million pounds of thrust. The main engines are cutoff as Falcon 9 nears the edge of Earths atmosphere.The total burn time from launch is 162 seconds. Once beyond Earths atmopshere, the pneumatic stage separation system releases the first stage from the second stage. A single Merlin engine fires, propelling stage two into orbit. The fairing separates from the second stage,exposing the satellite. Merlin engines ignite on the first stage, setting it on a trajectory for the landing site. The second stage releases the satellite into a predetermined orbit. The first stage undergoes a flip maneuver using onboard cold gas thrusters. When complete, it … Continue reading →

ABC 13 seasons into her run as the star of Grey's Anatomy, Ellen Pompeois finally adding another title to her actor-producer hyphenate: Director. The actress stepped behind the camera for the first time this year, and the fruits of her labor are debuting tonight with the moving Maggie-centric episode thatchronicles the young thoracic surgeon's quest to cure her adoptive mom after learning just how sick she truly is. While directing wasn't always part of Pompeo's plan, when the offer tocraft an hour of the show that made her a star came her way, she had no choice but to say yes. Eventually. "The directing came about because Ms. Debbie Allen, she'd been after me to direct for a while.And I kept saying no," Pompeo admitted in a featurette released by ABC."But Debbie doesn't take no for an answer and my boss [Shonda Rhimes] wrote a book called The Year of Yes,and those two things combined make it pretty hard to say no to people around here." As Allen, who not only recurs as Dr. Catherine Avery, but also serves an executive producer, puts it, the decision to get Pompeo behind the camera was a no-brainer."Ellen Pompeo as an actor has … Continue reading →

Will Shuester may need detention for his upcoming behavior on "Grey's Anatomy." A few days ago, the news came out that "Glee" alum Mattthew Morrison would be joining "Grey's" Season 13 as Dr. Paul Stadler. Photos showed him with Justin Chambers (Alex Karev) in Episode 23. All of that pointed directly to Morrison booking the role of Dr. Jo Wilson's (Camilla Luddington) abusive husband, from whom she fled. It was previously reported that "Grey's" was casting a new doc for the final four episodes of this season, with a possible return in Season 14. TVLine said they were seeking "a Caucasian actor in his mid 40s to play a new doctor who is 'appealing, charismatic and charming' in other words, a total freakin' catch. The twist? He's has a 'manipulative, scary dark side.'" That was always expected to be Jo's hubby. We don't even know Jo's real name, but it's possible her last name is still Stadler, if Morrison's character is indeed her husband. It also fits to have Alex in the picture, since it would be a very Alex thing to do to track him down to get a divorce in motion -- or just to confront the guy … Continue reading →
