Transformers is AWESOME!

That was easily the best film I've seen in years, sorta of how the first X-Men came across, and maybe the matrix...
But anyways I was a fan of the original cartoon, and have watched just about every single series they have put out recently.
The action scenes were awesome, Optimus Prime marched on stage and dominated the screen, and he has his original voice actor from the orginal series. The music is pumping and powerful when the Autobots are at it, and the deceptacons are all sharp and pointy, watch it and you will understand.
Bumblebee is not a VW, but then if you watch the latest series Bumblebee was replaced by HotRod, so it comes across as awesome still the car he emulates.
And who ever said humans can't defend themselves, from giant robots. Throughout the film you get a glimpse of what America could be capable of doing in a full war, and just how useless a tank could be versus a giant walking machine.
Anyways I just thought I better post this up, since the film was just so god dammed awesome!
Sayonara folks, and if you only go to the cinema once this year, go for transformers!

BAH!

Artists block, combined with laziness, and an ddiction to webcomics, makes me not very good at holding to a schedule...
Anyways My website will be properly ssetup on Friday, the new setup will look aawesome! And professional to...though I wish my drawing skills were a little better.
Anyways holidays are coming up for me, and I'll try and get a lot of practise over that period so that when I come back from Torquee or however you spell it I'll be able to impress with better art skills. Though drawing skills are not improved overnight...wish they were, would make my life so much easier...
ANYWAYS I'll try to get a strip done today, and see what I can find for inspiration for my next one on friday.
On a more serious note, I'm brilliant...brain power wise, if given a bit of instruction and an assignment to do I rpoduce quite high quality work, however over the years I have developed a very lazy attitude, I'm still freakishly intelligent but I'm too lazy to use it...I could've got up in the ninties for an enter score if I had tried but I just coasted and got a smooth 74, and when I did teaching I could've got A's and really astonished my teachers if I had've put more effort into everything, admittedly I wasn't in the best condition for doing hard work, after my brother got diagnosed with a brain tumor, and was operated on, and for periods of time after he got better I just sat when I should've been going to lectures, mindlessly surfing the internet for obscure facts I didn't need to know. I know I'm smart but if I don't use it can I really say that I am?
Anyways enough from me Sayonara folks and have a great week!

Huzzah Have at thee!

Hi folks, 12 comic strips and I am showing a slight improvement in my drawing capabilities, though my backgrounds still need a lot of work, doesn't help that I get lazy with them...
Anyways I've been handed my new site in all its glory, now I just have to familarise myself with all the coding...About ten or more pages worth in fact, and then I've gotta learn how to actually use it and then upload it so that it works properly without confusalising me or anything.
Update schedule is as follows, Tue-Wed-Fri for now, I might up the anti at some point but I try to give what spare time I have on thursdays to working on Newstory character art, and trying out different attempts at drawing backgrounds, with characters in them, maily using Eledor as I'm the most familiar to drawing him, afterall I've drawn him for nigh on six years now...
My friend's having his sixth massive LAN party soon, and that looks like it will be fun...as long as my brother doesn't get angry, nothing good ever comes of that...
Anyways other then that I may try and write a story, nothing to do with the Guardian Universe I think but something different, I feel like doing that...
Anyways we have now thrown out our script for our filming, as we realised we need all ten people on the ball to do it, and unfortunately we in reality only have six regulars, so now its Unreal Tornament the film! And yes I'm one of the four guys acting in it, though I would like to help with placing the camera and all that jazz.
After all that I'm bushed anyways Sayonara and check the Guardian Universe, for the next TFtLP update!

WHOO!

Right anyways, TFtLP comic will be up some time tonight, and I think this one is currently my best looking comic strip OF ALL TIME, well for now anyway.
We did some filming today, spent 2 hours to get 2 and 1/2 minutes of actual footage. Others annoyed the teacher, while I got a chance to act!
Of cource next week I'll look at it and go, "WHO's that idiot in the green jacket?" then everyone will point at me... :(
Anyways I'm Christian but not a serious Christian, I don't go to church, haven't in ages, I find it too boring.
If anyone read any of my earlier stories I frequently had angels as main characters in my fantasy stories, even Eledor at one point was an angel, when he was a lot more kid like and far less mature.
And the Saudes Saga has angels in it to, though they only appear in it irregularily, and you'll have to look for them, if I ever write that one up.
Anyways I figured I might write a little about what Tale from the Lettuce Patch is supposed to be, a semi autobiographical look at my current life, and those around me. And if any friends ask I may put them in at certain points, you're all funny in your own ways!
Anyways other then that enjoy my latest strip, now to get two more done this week!

Whining time!

You know what's been really cheesing me off this past week.
My course, its not the teachers, its not the actual subject matters of the course...its the other students. I can respect that some have work and other unaviodables...BUT...there are limits.
On wednesday, in the morning we had around ten or eight students in the class, I keep losing count. By the afternoon we were down to two, me and another guy. It wasn't the teacher she was just trying to treat us students like responsible adults. I mean when half the class is over 20 you'd expect them to be responsible. BUT...again this class has serious problems when it comes to maturity. Also more then half are FPS gamers. This may not seem important, but I consider myself an RPG and RTS gamer, more cerebral generally, requiring a lot more thought, then twitch actions, and generally having far less graphic violence involved in them. One guy blatantly posts up wallpapers of his favourite death metal band, with such memorable quotes as "leading the war against Christianity" I consider myself a Christian even if I'm not the most devout of followers, and I can respect other peoples decisions to believe in different things, but that kind of message really irritates me, and makes athiest look like violent religion hating fanatics, who can't respect other people's rights to believe in what they choose.
Buh almost dug myself a hole there anyway, that's just one guy who annoys me...I just don't like his wallpaper or his choice in music. Anyways enough on that and I wrote a pretty good ending for the film we are doing...but they decided to condence it, throw away 90% of what I wrote and not even look at how difficult some of these things would be to film...
We have a car chase in our film, we have never used a blue screen before, I don't know, we may be just digging a hole to make a crap film run virtually by one guy who isn't me, who will be doing 75% of all the acting, wrote the script. I'll do my best to make sure we do well, but now I have at least six lines in this film, when I only intended myself to have one line...(might try and fight that on tuesday)
Anyways that's enough about my course...
Onto my Website.
My good friend Brendan has been busy down in panda ville, (the foods good this time of year) making a very cool and professional looking website for me for free!
It will be up soemtime next weekend for your viewing pleasure, but I can tell you it looks fifty times better then my current setup(Not that that's not hard)
Anyways I will endeavour to do three strips this week, there's tonnes of stuff I could do, and may get a couple of good ideas at the farm tomorrow, by gods i have to work with the new guy tomorrow...I don't like him much, a standard hoon if ver there was one...
Okays if you got through all of that, you're crazier then I thought,
Sayonara folks! Till next I post!
