my brain needs to stop projecting

sorry for not posting in such a long time, no real excuse. but here i am again. back in action.

you know, even though I’m not big on blood and gore especially the graphic stuff the Silent Hill movie pleased me. I recently saw it with the majority of my family (it's a real good family movie! :D... if no one's like 12. lol) and it really was a great horror, but i recognized so many elements of suspense/thriller in it. which i think is what made it and the games so good (I’ve only ever seen SH4 being played, but popular opinion supports my statement!).
I also liked that the blood and gore was (to an extent) not glorified and it really was creepy and disturbed. that's why i want to see a horror, because this shit does disturb me. and emotion is the base meaning for all artwork.

anyways, i also hit 7K hits with my DA that's 3 thousand hits in like... two and three quarter months. or something like that. I’m pleased.

also i have another project (project DH)... yeah i need to prioritize, but this one wont go into actual production till i get everything around it set up. (like a website, and the script, and the character designs. probably not for another year or so.)
but i got some more done on the PIXYZ books i actually have the beginning of the first and last book but not the middle book that one's going to be a little hard to start off. A+ people this is going to be A+

that's all for now really. oh and here's the drawing i did for my 7K hits at DA...

lame i know, but i wanted to practice colouring. you can see a larger version on my DA acc.

Music Movies and birthday guifts

so today at about 12:01 pm, i finished a peace I’ve been working on all month. I’m actually quite pleased with how i went about finishing it. Through plane old laziness and an urge to do something different, i painted the final touched with a broken pencil...
the whole peace is mixed medium. Made with normal and pencil crayon, pencil, marker, and acrylics. i made it for my best friend's birthday, which is today! she's turning 17. in ways she's like a sister to me, in other's she's just a really good looking friend.

anyways, other then that i've just been watching a lot of movies lately. dinotopia... i don't recommend it... but it's fun.
Cube! great Canadian independent goodness. crazy movie, even if i predicted the ending not even half way through...
two of the actors in cube play in the movie "Nothing" (same director as cube, but a completely different mood.) which is also awesome, actually on of them has a role in Star Gate. which many people hail as being "the next star trek" and he really is a good actor. David Hewlet I believe is his name. you can check out his website here [ www.adogsbreakfastmovie.com ] the link is courtesy of my sister, so I’ll thank her for that.
i also saw the movie "stay" again. D:! i love it! and recommend it to anyone who likes those Hollywood style mellow movies about life and death and depression.

Enough about movies!
Back to art again! So I’m working on drawing two characters, owned by someone I met on DA. He asked for people to draw his characters so I’m like Sure why not!?
So yeah I’ll post a link to that when I’m done, I wont post the image because well… there his characters and lets keep away from copywrite things.

That’s all.Good By

waiking life

I just finished watching a vector movie from 2002 called Waking Life. it was seriously amazing. just outstanding, it really got my gears running in my head. Though I wouldn't recommend it for EVERYONE though i hope everyone finds the will in themselves to watch it. Because not only is it wonderful to look at, it's just fun to listen too.

it's about a man who gets stuck in a dream, and throughout the dream he talks to many people about life and it's meaning.
though that description does the movie no justice any more explanation would give away more then is necessary.


anyways as for other news. i am selling Prints on DA. there nothing special but whatever you can check that out if you want Http://melon-man.deviantart.com/store

also i've started music classes again, bass and violin... thinking of switching from violin to voice lessons. we'll see where that leads.
i haven’t written much on any of my projects. but i did start teaching my family how to draw this week, I’m basically reading them the "drawing on the right side of the brain" book and since i've already gone through it (minus the last two and a half chapters) i know what and why there doing things.

the Duke of rochester

I would just like to drop a quick word about a project and a movie

First the movie. I caught the libertine on the movie networks “on demand” it’s a great thing really, and I get it free so that’s a plus.
Anyways, the movie stars Johnny Depp, wonderful actor no one can deny it. His role as the duke of Rochester was amazing. The character was so perverse and demented, yet I connected to him in the most emotional ways. I don’t find myself to be perverse or demented, but his cynicism was just so prevalent and just overwhelming you can’t help but feel sorry for him, to really wish he had a better mind to believe in something. I swear Depp couldn’t pull that off better the second time. It was just that good, amazing a beautiful. if you haven’t seen it you missing out on an amazing experience.
Though I might add, the whole movie really is perverted, so I don’t recommend it for week stomachs. Or perverts.

On to projects, I’ve begun writing the first of three books in the PIXYZ series. Once I’m done all three I’ll release the second book, followed by the first and then the third. The order is intentional for it explains itself out in the order. Also this deals with such a large picture that the first book is like a prologue to the second, As is the third an epilogue.
Anyways
Goodnight.

New years eve Day

as the year comes to a close this blog continues to progress. as if it were finally emerging from the womb. a baby covered in gunk, waiting for it's mother to lick it clean. breathing it's first true breaths...

I hope that thoroughly moved you. Now back to real life.
Interesting year, ups, downs, side to sides. Even diagonals and perspectives...

But that’s life you know.

As for art projects
I’m being lazy re-uploading MHC. But I my mini comic “The Amkiram”
And my running gag a day web comic “This comic kicks ass” backs up on Hyper-comix.com

I’ve also been working on a movie.
It’s called “Holiday of the living dead”


The basic plot is: random things happening leading up to the end of the year 2006 and possibly the end of days D:! (psst it has zombies!)
It’s just a bunch of really shorts stuck together to make a funny movie. It’ll probably be 20 minuets long or less. And it will be on youtube sometime in the first week of 2007.

I’ve got an action sequence to film today and I’ll be pulling out all the tricks I can to make it look really wicked.

Other then that I’ve got a CSI spoof and a little x-files short, a dance sceen and zombies giving guifts! Hopefully this turns out pretty freaking wicked.

So aside from that I’ve got a few new thing son my DA account. Check those out if you have the time.

But that’s all for now I might post something interesting before the New Year. But we’ll see about that.

Christmas cheer

So today I finished the second Secret Santa as i show you both of them below this sentence.




















So they aren’t my BEST work, but i quite enjoy what i got out of them, lately I’ve been pretty dry art wise and i think this might get my juices flowing again.
Beside that, I’ve got a bunch of pages of MHC back up, i think I’m going to just post them all and then just edit the words whenever i feel like it.

As for projects.
Fan comic - Nothing new
Project Balance - first and last scenes have been figured out, as well as some more basics. I’ll be working on some character designs.
The Holy Grail web comic - in the fridge

As for my entry into the lost invisible contest, it is 1% done. Check out LI http://kxela.hyper-comix.com/index.html

Liked the movie deep impact? Then don't watch Earth Storm, decent movie if you want to rewatch every single dooms day movie without all the thinking involved. The writer(s) did close to no research for this movie. But the graphics are nice.Also remember, an explosives expert can't do anything more then a physicist can to save the moon from splitting in half and sometimes the physicist can do more.
