Ode to the Internets: Chorus: I'm Sorry

I am sorry for the mean things I have said to you Internets. I only said them because I love you. I should have known that eventually you would surprise me with something like this:

The Helicopter is bleeding. Bleeding.

Thank you.

Ode to the Internets: 3rd Verse: Disappointment

Oh Internets it has been a while since you have provided me with something so profoundly excellent I could not help but smile. The trailers on Apple.com have been lacking (with the notable exception of the 2nd Superman Returns trailer) and blogs have fallen into a lul or dissapeared entirely (et tu Amanda?).

However, it is not simply a lack of material, no, Askaninja.com proved that to be incorrect. I am angry with you internets because you have betrayed me. I'm looking at you MySpace. We always had a tenuous relationship, it would be fair to say that I alternated between finding you mildly amusing and merely tolerating you. Then you went and tried to steal my intellectual property. Shame on you.

Now you may have changed your policies MySpace but I am still dissapointed. No amount of midget ninjas can change that.

Good Day!

Digicine X: The Concept Art

Digicine X was deemed too expensive for production in the midterm drama round of shooting. Seeing as how I was told pretty much once a day by my instructor's that this would happen I was not shocked and awed. I will now however proceed to continue to leak some of the work I did on the film. The full script is not going up because of paranoia that blogspot will pull a myspace...anywho without further ado here are the character concept designs that I did for my art direction proposal:

In the script it is supposed to be an oversized men's shirt but I guess my comic book style (ie scantily clad women with insanely unrealistic proportions) got the better of me.

May has been in the script since long before it was even science fiction. Basically I expected Katie H. to play her because a)she's blonde b)she actually has a sword c)she has a black belt in Tai Kwan Do (which to the unknowing eye I could easily pretend was Kung-Fu).

Hotaru was the first design I did. He had no lines and was pretty much inteded to be played by Ian because basically Ian looks exactly like I imagined this Japanese-named white guy, and also because Ian has previously demanded that I put him in a movie that I make.

Mr. Wong is not necessarily my favorite character (that honour goes to Eddie, the only character I did not do a design for), however, he is definately my favorite design. I like the mix of modern and traditional in his design. I also like the tatoos which was something I continued over from Hotaru.

And here is the protagonist. Basically I wanted a guy that looked like he was decked out for war but rode a basic bike. he also needed to look like he fit right into the poor, illegal-lofting, drug-using, street-fighting world. I am definately happy with the way he turned out and the fanny pack amuses me to no end.

These pieces also represent my return to the world of colouring (hold the cheers I'll probably still back out when it comes to Masked Avenger comics).
