Wurmler of the West


this was a character for a short story i did for flight 3
I was really dissappointed in how little of the life in these sketches made it into the final I drew my own character SO off model! I'm gonna do a new story for him someday
he's a young warrior with a rare sword called the dragons tongue which is forked like a reptile tongue and is very flexible and becomes hot from constant motion, hence the dragon aspect of it. the worm creature is actually a wurm type legless dragon that wurmler (the little boy) fights with doing acrobatic things

rat cook
I'm increasingly dissappointed with the concepts of Pixar. From the upcoming movie list it doesn't look like I'll need to see anything from them for awhile. Ive proclaimed my distaste for the rat cook concept and look for awhile but I finally sat and watched it. I looked at it from the point of how well did they make the concept and story they chose work. How do they engage the audience and get them into the story. Being a cook myself I actually found very little interesting in the cooking elements. But anyway the whole opening was very slow and throughout the movie I found many elements hard to believe, I thought they betrayed the characters they set up and often there were odd choices simply moving story from point A to B. The old woman shooting the hell out of her home was neither amusing or believable. The strange choice to make the rats need for food and natural instinct for survival into petty theft was really stupid. The whole film was really unamusing, and full of cartoony cliche antics and slapstick. The pseudo french ,characters most of which were merely providing background noise or awaiting to serve their brief plot point. Sorry these thoughts are everywhere I'm clumsily iPhone typing. The characters seemed merely for moving the plot along. The strange relationship with the female character that becomes even more obscurely vague ,after she and the main human character kiss, to the point of a nearly non existant relationship. I found it odd that even though the rat was the star cook, the other chefs were absolutely useless to the point of
not even learning any of the rats recipes, what were the others doing all those nights of cooking the rats recipes?!. I also didnt understand the chefs simply walking out once they find out a rat is the cook, was there no friendship amongst them? At the very least one of them would be willing to stick with it given the restaurants new found success. Anyway even the girlfriend walks out until she sees the ubiquitous "anyone can cook" a theme bludgeoned across the audiences head. Once again I felt the chefs reactions served the plot as opposed to being natural to the characters and scenario. The little spats between the rat and human were equally implausible. The rat mad after a fight with the unappreciative human,sends the rat family to " steal" food. They get caught by the human who owes all his success to this rat and instead of being level headed and appreciative of the rat that's brought him everything, he calls them all thieves and tells them to get out even though this is the most important night for the restaurant. There's plenty more that bothered me mostly along the same lines of thinly veiled plot devices unnatural character reactions and long unamusing cartoony monologues but typing on this phone is slow
I know story is claimed to be pixars focus but its sort of taken a back seat to character animation and overly rendered environments
p.s. Why does the garbage boy with apparently no inclination to cook proceed to go and ruin a soup right off the bat?! And a soup that induces vomiting isn't gonna become exquisite with a little bay leaf and cream

Got my hands on Street Fighter 4
I just got back from Tokyo and was fortunate enough to be there for the beta testing they were doing at the various plaza capcom's around tokyo. I've been on the fence about so much of the look, it seems like they could get the 3d to look more like their drawings but aside from some really gross up close 3d animation, namely guile, the games whole package is pretty impressive in motion with full effects etc. The game is fun to just watch. I was able to get on three times, if and when you lose, you are only playing human opponents, you lined back up. I tried ryu once and blanka twice and on my final trip with blanka I actually had 3 wins, I was not able to pull off any of the super moves on joystick quite yet so I just played all straight up with their regular moves which was more than effective. I have to say the game feels awesome! I was actually not so thrilled about all the street fighter 2 /turbo gameplay but I actually found it to have more of the nice meaty feel of third strike. You really feel the hits and you feel like your characters are connecting/hitting your opponent, which what was usually lacking to me in most 3d fighters. The speed is perfect, pretty fast without being crazy. The attack and character animations in general really bring it all to life. The game just feels immediately addictictive, now I absolutely can't wait for this game to come out, to play online, to see what else they have in store for the game.

batman metroid bioshock

totally unrelated I've got bioshock for my pc (laptop) and metroid prime 3 for wii, suffice it to say I'm not having too much fun with bioshock I find it pretty redundant and not even very interesting visually...i was hoping bioshock would be more of an adventure like res evil or just have more stuff happening. metroid on the other hand is awesome the art design is amazing the environments are stunning and its totally immersive, it's already like a great roller coaster ride I don't know why other fps can't incorporate the variety of gameplay like metroid or res evil

2k7 WHAT'S UP
How have I been entertaining myself this holiday? Nintendo Wii for sure, bowling, and The big "Z" Zelda, twilight princess.
Lately I've been listening to Joanna Newsom's awesome new album "Ys" absolutely fantastic! It's like Newsom's "Kid A"
White Magic's new album is awesome and well pure magic. I'm also listening to new Yola Tengo and a Twilight zone soundtrack. Jerry Goldsmith is pretty damn amazing sometimes listen to the the nervous man in the 4 dollar room, the last 2 minutes are so sweet!
I'm working on a custom figure of Quaffine from MOra and it looks amazing. Her new outfit will definitely be in the new works...
happy new years folks
