Doctober 2023 prompt #21: Improvement!

Also, HAPPY BACK TO THE FUTURE DAY!!! 🔥🔥🔥

Inspo for this prompt:

July 2020

This is a redraw of Doc, Marty and Einie from this piece I made ~3 years ago [also made it my first post on here!]

ALRIGHT, here's the part where I talk about the art for paragraphs on end.

So I noticed that I had more of a western (comic book-y?) style in the 2020 version. But you can clearly see the anime inspo in the 2023 version. I've been watching Astro Boy 2003 (why? long story) and a couple of Studio Ghibli and Otomo movies. So it tracks... had no idea it'd influence me that much tho... 🤔 crazy

but LOOK, I did Einie justice this time 😤 lesgoooo 👏👏👏

imagine if everyone likes the 2020 version better 😫 i'll exit the mc server i aint playin. I mean the 2020 version is still "good" but uh could use some more polish. but give past me a break, the old set up was a pain to work with ngl [wacom intuos tablet].

I feel like there's still a lot I need to improve on, and that makes me excited to keep goin 🤩

bUT LET ME TELL Y'ALL HOW HARD IT WAS TO FIND THE MOTIVATION FOR THIS. IDK IT JUST WASN'T THERE. I WAS STRUGGLIN'. FIGHTIN' FOR MY LIFE AND BY LIFE I MEAN ARTISTIC MOTIVATION.

BUT I PULLED THRU 💪😤 got thru a mad headache just to get this in on time.

But I'm really proud of it, so likes and reblogs would mean a lot to me 🥺

Back to the Future Day

Throw on your Nikes, pop in a VHS and rev up your DeLorean because October 21 is Back to the Future Day! First celebrated in 2015 (a significant year for serious fans), the original “Back to the Future” is a 1985 sci-fi classic that grossed nearly $400 million worldwide!

When is Back to the Future Day 2023?

Marty McFly, Doc Brown, and all the other memorable characters of the iconic “Back To The Future” trilogy are celebrated on October 21.

History of Back to the Future Day

Today, where we’re going, we don’t need roads. The iconic, nay, epic Back to the Future series gave millions of people in 1985 a glimpse of what the future could be like. Sure, we didn’t invent time travel (or hoverboards for that matter, we’re still salty about that one) but we did get an interesting look at the future that has actually come to pass. More on that later. Back to the Future day is celebrated on October 21, because that is the date Marty McFly originally travels to the past and sets in motion his undoubtedly existential adventure.

In the original film, there are various plot twists and turns but what really makes the film worthy of its own honorary day, is the vision of early prototypes of today’s tech, like large flat screens, virtual reality eyewear, video conferencing, computer tablets and biometric scanners.

A 2015 CNN Back to the Future Day anniversary article tells us that, ironically, the most innovative part of the film was the VistaGlide motion-control system which allowed Fox to share scenes with himself. Bottom line, Back to the Future Day not only gives the audience of 1985 a glimpse into our current techno-packed lives; but “Back to the Future” lets you time-trip with a very cool movie!

The date for Back to the Future Day, is itself, doubly significant. According to the “Business Insider”, October 21, 2015 is the day the screenwriter, Bob Gale, chose for the Chicago Cubs to win the World Series, something, Gales says, “was the most absurd thing we could think of” in 1985 (turns out he was a year off, the Cubs won the series in 2016). The idea of the Cubs’ winning the Series gives Marty McFly something to bet on as a “hook” for the film’s second story line. In the sequel, “Back to the Future Part II,” Fox’s character, Marty McFly, travels to the future in 2015 to save the children that aren’t even a “twinkle in their dad’s eye.”

Back to the Future is required viewing for nearly every science fiction fan and continually holds up as a fun, energetic jaunt through time with some memorable characters and truly great catch phrases. So this October 21, pop in this film and say “Great Scott.”

Back to the Future Day timeline

1985

John DeLorean's "thank you"

The creators of the movie, Robert Zemeckis and Bob Gale, decided to use a DeLorean as the car that enables Marty McFly and Doc to time travel; after the film’s release, Zemeckis and Gale received a thank-you letter from John DeLorean for using his car in the movie.

Back to the Future Day FAQs

What is Back to the Future Day?

It’s a day honoring the fictional story of Marty McFly and his companion, Doc’s, time travel back to October 21, 2015 in “Back to the Future II,” the sequel to the original 1985 film, “Back to the Future.”

Why is there a backwards 99 in Back to the Future II?

When the DeLorean reaches 88 mph and time travels it leaves behind a trail of flames. In the scene in BTTF II, the DeLorean is flying when it is struck by lightening, causing it to spin on it’s axis and distorting the normally straight flame trails into the shape “99.”

Will there be a Back to the Future 4?

In 2016 when director Robert Zemeckis was asked about a Back to the Future 4, Zemeckis replied that, “There will be no more ‘Back to the Future’.”

Back to the Future Day Activities

Create a time capsule: Just like you did back when you were a kid and if you have kids they’ll love doing this, too. Fill a box with items you’d want your future self to enjoy opening like pictures, tickets from a concert or items from your wedding. Once your box is full, put it in your basement, in the back of a closet or, if you know you’ll be living in the same house for awhile, bury it in the backyard. Don’t forget to include a letter to your future self with all your goals and aspirations written down.

Hold an "Enchantment Under the Sea Dance" Party: You may not be able to get Marty McFly to shred on the stage but you could invite some friends to don their best bobby sox, make some punch (spiked if you're of age), and boogie to some oldies like they did at that iconic dance. Who knows, maybe you'll come up with something "that really cooks."

Try to invent time travel: We've all got a little "wild-eyed scientist" in us and what better way to let that flag fly than by trying to emulate Dr. Emmet Brown? Ok, we know this one's a little out there but it's fun to dream, and who knows, maybe you'll surprise yourself (and, ya know, the entire world).

5 Reason To Rewatch "Back To The Future."

The film predicted three technological advances: Although most of the futuristic details in the movie have not come true, it did include communication similar to FaceTime, voice recognition, and thumb print technology.

It wasn’t a popular script: Major movie studios passed on the original screenplay.

Some executives hated the movie title: A Universal Pictures executive wrote a memo saying he wanted the title of the movie changed to "Spaceman From Pluto," to which director Steven Spielberg responded by thanking him for the “joke memo.”

President Reagan used a quote from the movie: President Reagan liked the fact that he was mentioned in the movie several times. He used the quote “Where we’re going, we don’t need cars” in his 1986 State of the Union speech.

Royalty attended the premiere: Princess Diana made an appearance at the movie’s premier in 1985.
