"This adorable warlike denizen of the deep is copied after a brooch in the Yper Museum dated 1350-1400. There are a great many manuscript sources showing armed and armored mermen, mostly with sword and shield and often with helmets."

For the #SciArtSeptember prompt sword: This is a lino block print depicting a fanciful swordfish sword fight at sea, in violet ink on turquoise, Japanese feathered Obonai paper, 10.5" by 15.5" (26.7 cm by 39.4 cm).
The Latin name for a swordfish Xiphias and the two swords make an 'x'. This is good to know if you ever make an alphabet quilt. They are found in temperate and tropical waters of the Atlantic, Pacific and Indian Oceans.

So armed with my reference I started painting and I felt on fire! I honestly felt for the first time that I could get the exact image I had in my head out into the world. But then all of sudden my #Krita savefile got corrupted, first time ever! I spend hours trying to save it but no luck, it was lost...
Luckily I was filming this #timelapse so I took the last image at 1:48 and I finished the artwork on top of that one.
From concept to illustration: Swordfish attack! A piece of art based of the Norwegian childrens fantasy book #Leopoldia in which I've been involved as a fencing instructor, but I'd like to get involved as an illustrator for them as well. Making this image has been one hell of a journey which I'll be telling you in the thread below… 1/4
This was an emotional journey, I think I'll do it again with another movie I've never seen closer to Christmas.

I do feel like about half way through the movie the script writers or director was sick of techno-babble and decided they just wanted a straight up by the book action movie which makes the plot unnecessarily convoluted, but maybe there was a concern that hackers alone wouldn't sell cinema tickets.

The end of this movie really makes me unsure of whether the writers are endorsing the world view of Travolta's character or not. This wasn't as bad as I expected, I'm prepared to admit that!
#Swordfish
Well everyone we got there in the end! 
#Swordfish
The end of this movie seems to be basically this

I'm starting to think buses weren't meant to be flown about by helicopters.
#Swordfish
Up, up and away!
#Swordfish
This movie makes the classic mistake of directly and indirectly referencing better movies that highlight the inadequacies of the movie itself, all this Dog Day Afternoon hat tipping isn't helping anything. I do like that this time it's an antivirus branded, circuit-board themed bus though?

Oh yes man, give me those Sneakers phone call vibes
