Doing small Ned’s Lola posts for the holidays! This one is for Fil-Am History Month & Halloween!
(Sorry I’m late to post here on tumblr)
Guest starring #TheRealestBayani and Kuya/Lumpiaman/ Mark M from the @lumpiamovie <<<don’t forget to check out #LumpiaWithAVengeance if it’s playing in your city this weekend!
- 1st slide - So this evolved a great deal, I initially wanted to transform the Jeopardy meme into a cover and keep it in the MCU as like a Shang-Chi speaking out for us. But Ike has actually never been in a Marvel film (as far as I know), so I brought his Suicide Squad character over. At which point I was like - well if I’m going to do that, I should bring over any Filipina/o characters from the DCU. Hence Ella Jay Basco (Cassandra) and Ivory Aquino (Alysia) But then I was like, something didn’t feel right - well if this is a multiverse thing, I felt like I needed to ask for Kuya and Bayani to be there. And, of course, the usuals are here - Jacob B (Ned), Ned’s Lola, Ginger G (Nikki), Dave B (Drax), Yssa (Sonya), Eugene C (Casey), Jane R(Ayla), Hailee(Kate), and Iris(Wave)!
- 2nd slide - The Halloween cover. Really wanted to do some of our mythological creatures, but in that old Jack Kirby style. When I started these covers, the intent was to keep with the old school style, but I feel like I’ve strayed a bit. By the way, forget horror masters.. man our folklore digs deep in some really messed up stuff. Have you guys read what a Tiyanik is/does? Man either the most demonic things ever just exist in the Phils, or our ancestors got the most twisted creative imagination.
