Starcraft Artsies Update

Le Gasp! Two posts! In two days!

Haha! But no, since I decided to stop slapping digital paint on the Starcraft piccie I was working on back in August (that I only actually continued working on sporadically 2 days ago) I felt I should just post it on my deviantart and the blog since I originally intended for this blog to be an artsies blog. (However that dwindled to practically nil)

So w/o further ado :-

 

Raynor & Kerrigan - Deviantart post



Raynor & Kerrigan - Orignal Full

 
Hmm... as a small faraway looking pic, the butt on Kerrigan doesn't actually look too bad. But when I was looking at it to post on DA, the butt just looked... well, butt-ugly. Oh well, I really like Kerrigan's face in this picture though. Maybe I'll turn it into a pic avatar.



Movies and Starcraft

I'm waiting for Starcraft II campaigns on Zerg and Protoss... starcaftstarcraftstarcraftstarcraftstarcraft... Lol.
I've been busy (which was interesting) and also, this month, I've actually seen more movies at the cinema than I usually do... ever I think. (I think what, I went to see, hmm... 3 movies this month in the span of 2 weeks? - That's loads for me anyway.)

So, Sorcerer's Apprentice? My opinion of it was, fun movie, interesting to watch, doesn't blow me away or anything for sure because it's a typical good versus evil story in my opinion. (With geek science thrown in to the mystical)

A-Team? I loved how the characters were portrayed, some very cool lines and planning by Hannibal. Sweet action with the whole, "flying tank", that was possibly one of my favourite scenes in the whole film. Murdoch is seriously hillarious. Didn't like the lieutenant(?) woman though, she just annoyed me with her whole attitude and prejudice towards Face and the A-Team.

Salt, hmmm, good storyline with plenty of twists in the plot but I feel it could have been better. (it got a star rating on the cinema page which suppose to mean (according to my brother anyway) that the film is supposed to be good as rated by viewers. Now, storyline-wise, it wasn't bad but the pacing of the film in the beginning didn't really work for me. Yeah, Angelina Jolie constructing a sort of explosive cannon, cool - but the whole running from the CIA agency was wa-ay too long in my opinion. (I almost fell asleep there despite the whole sequence of action scenes) So, yeah... not amazingly great for me, but not bad either. I would recommend it as a movie to watch.

And to end this little blurb, I have Starcraft artsies... sort of.

And, yeah... got nothing else, shall go back to either rewatching BSG or spending some time pulling hair at bloody jiggling boobs rigging. (Don't ask)

Time is like a disease and immortality is over-rated.

My blog really has a low upkeep. (=_=) And I find it's more like dying abit slowly day by day. It's a painfully slow and ardous process that I begin to hate. Yeah... for some reason, I feel a little down at the moment. Maybe I need a sugar rush.

As a child, I used to think immortality and living forever would be nice. But now as I think about it, that would really suck big time. Really.

Anyway, this fellah here is one of many characters I've been redesigning for a comic idea I've been working on. So, far - though he's not the main character, he's quickly becoming my favourite for some reason. (I think it's the outfit)

On a side note - I've been looking over some issues of Marvel's X-Men and been going... "Wtf?" It's a sad feeling when you start to feel old for wishing for the good old days when storylines actually made sense and had an amount of continuity to it. (And I will stop now, before I burst into a full fledge rant of how characters are merely thrown into a situation then shoved into limbo or die only to resurrect like only... a million times.)

Artsies Stuff - sort of...

I haven't been doing any art in a very long time, and I sort of feel bad about it now. So, I really need to start drawing again, as I feel like I've regressed. =_=;; I feel a bit depressed atm also, with all this job hunt thing... (or maybe it's my frustration on not being able to express the impressions in my brain properly?)
So anyhow, I dusted off my Corel Painter, and have been trying out the different styles and looking to see how they're similar and yet differ from the actual stuff itself.

First up... a digital watercolour which I only happen to like the left side of the picture, wishing I had not put the girly in. *Bweh*


Next, I did a quick squiggle with Painter's charcoal and chalk of Batman - owned by Warner and DC Comics (forgot to put that on DevArt) - I do believe I like the digital charcoal... I don't stain my fingers! Lol, but I don't have as much control at this point - tactile sense really is darn important.



And lastly, it's my current try with painter's gouache style. Still a wip atm, I sort of had the thought to do a howling wolf in mourning. Hmm.... (poor wolf)



-Off topic need to get off my chest and out of brain self-argument-

Borders UK, is closing down- (Another 'what a pity') and I saw three books I was really tempted to buy. (4 actually, but I'm not counting that one) Though my brother would probably think me mad to buy those books. For one, they're heavy like nobody's business, and two... lugging them back home to M'sia in future seems a bit ridiculous.
(=3=) *But they're going on half price with another 20% off till Sunday...* And they'd really make nice reference books for cats, horses and undersea life. Booo....

-Righto, end of brain-argument-
