He Got Me Laughing + Getting Out of Hiatus?

Mon Jul 21, 2008, 12:44 AM
To start, I've noticed that a lot of people tell me that I've got a pretty strict way of scoring things such as movies, I've decided to shrink my score scale to something like X-Play's. I like that system anyway. So it'll be 1-5.

1 - Cheap, no good.
2 - Some parts appreciable, but lacking heavily on many parts.
3 - Relatively good, but has a good number of things that can use improvement upon. Probably good enough for die-hard fans if it's a series or something.
4 - Pretty good, but has a few fatal flaws that tend to bring down the experience a notch or two. Can be recommended to many people but don't expect to be a perfect experience, it can be dragging at one point or it may be too short or some event just ruins it at some point.
5 - Damn good. It's a title that can easily be placed as an epitome of the genre it's in or something to that extent. It would be something that without hesitation I would recommend to anybody who is willing to try out something along its lines.

Now, for The Dark Knight.
You've probably had enough people talking about this piece of awesomeness. However, I must have my say about it. From the script to the effects to the acting, it was all expertly orchestrated. To say that DC fans won't be disappointed is an understatement, they could probably bring some guy that doesn't like comics (I dunno, your girlfriend? ... or boyfriend?) and they'll be wowed. Every character in the entire feature was very human, if not better. Even if somebody spoiled the whole 2.5 hour film for you you'd still watch it. Well, because there's nothing much to spoil. The mixture of characteristics that will be seen as the Joker was in a word, genius. You get exactly what you thought a deranged criminal mastermind would be, a genius criminal psychopath who likes to laugh and be funny. They were also able to show the qualities in Batman that made him standout from other superheroes. You generally get a good perspective of people's psyche in the entire movie, the dynamics of each character is also awesome. I would like to applaud Heath Ledger for giving me something to be totally wowed about, I'll never forget that performance, may he rest in peace.
The Dark Knight - 5/5.

Moving on. I've decided to work on a couple girls which I have conceptualized as a trio. They specialize in different fields of combat, basically one on spells, one on spears and one with shields. I've pretty much figured out what their names and abilities would be but I'm kinda reconsidering the names. I was also trying to figure out the color combination for the first one because I've only finished drawing one of them and progress is steadily slowing down. Though eventually I remembered that it might be a good idea to use the color wheel, which is something I haven't used since gradeschool. I mean, wow, how could I forget about the color wheel right? I still have a lot to work on my lineart though.

I can't recall if I've mentioned this before but I'm thinking of updating my pen tool tutorial after I complete the girls. I don't have much to add though, just the other uses I've found with it and what I've done to shorten time in coloring/turning them sketches into lineart.

Though people say drawing mecha is sorta my specialty, I realize now that I haven't posted a single piece of mecha out here. Will try to work on it soon as my schedule allows.
