Two days I've been spending overnight works to oversee the installation of surveillance cameras in my branch. I feel like I've lost track of the date. Lack of sleep made me unproductive.
And so today after a lame attempt on getting a full sleep I drove the family off to the mall to cool off. It's a hot near-summer day. I said I will not stroll around so I've brought my sketch pad and some favorite pencils, find a cafe and try to finish the dragon that's long overdue for posting.
I was contemplating on seeing WATCHMEN. My wife was actually encouraging me to see it while she, the kids, my mom and aunt went malling. But after seeing the schedules and realizing the movie was too long to let my family to wait for me to finish, I said I'll just go with my first option and draw the fucking dragon.
So there I was, on an overly soft chair, a cup of caffe americano on my table, and an A4 sketch on my lap. I felt uncomfortable as people passed behind me. I moved to another spot, and looked at my watch. Five minutes and it's the next screening of Watchmen. To hell with the drawing
and the lack of sleep, I'm gonna see it.
Awesome, awesome movie. Not your regular superhero movie, that's what I thought. The story really mattered and as a person who has never read the graphic novel, I'd say it's one of the best superhero movie I've seen so far. It's got substance. It got me glued to every dialogue as I didn't want to miss out on each character's story.
My favorite character - Rorschach, not Mr. Manhattan (though his powers are so cool). Is it just me, or is Silk Spectre II really hot?

i was one of the first 9 in my city to see the film (yeah i wanted to see it THAT bad
still a brilliant film! the intro was incredible!!!
im starting my own book now, with a ffriend who is writing and storyboarding it for me, and the scale of this kind of project has jus hit me...
Oh damn, if I had known I wouldn't like how Preludes and Nocturnes was illustrated and that Watchmen would be showing, I would have searched for the Watchmen book instead
Funny thing is, for my birthday, my wife bought me this amazing book frokm Gary Tonge about digital painting. When I opened it we were both excited. Then she told me that she was contemplating on buying that or the Watchmen book. SNAP!!! Oh well, still enjoying Tonge anyway.
Ah yes, a storyline. Awesome.
yeah i think the watchmen was about £17.99 worth every penny though, its like a reference and the ultimate comic bible haha
that sounds awesome, good on your wife!! she sounds really cool for doing that
digital though... thats something i have never used on a comic level, i mean im no stranger to photo shop! but i havent got it on my home pc so i jus havent had the chance to try it. i dont know how i feel about it to be honest, i love inking by hand (although my inking is somewhat depressing me at the moment) and i spose digital takes from that? but like i said i have never tried it.
speaking of cool comic related books my mum bought me two books on how to draw comics, one on fusion comics and the other on military comics so widening the horizon for me
haha yeah, its a labour of love, and its taking over my college work
write back man
It's great that your mum supports your interests!
I suggest you focus first on your traditionals before going digital. Traditional is pretty handy and light, and you can practically draw anywhere with ample lighting. For digital, if you wanna go outside you'd have to bring a laptop that runs on a two or three-hour battery
my one character ended up looking like Samuel L haha, good, but not quite what i was aiming for.
i prefer traditional anyhoo, thats all i do atm and it hasnt failed me yet so ill stick to it
I hear only one character has powers. I like that.
D.C.'s The Warlord is my favorite comic book. After I discovered it in when I was about 7, superpowers had less appeal to me.
I'm glad their popularity grows, and I'm looking forward to digesting more FireCaster story.
Sometimes, though, all a man needs is a .44 magnum AutoMag a broadsword and the occasional laser.
Dragons, yes we need dragons.
Ah, my brother, you wanting more of the FireCaster makes me happy.
But we live in a world where it shouldn't be like that.
It should happen within our lives!
