I watched Star Wars: A New Hope last
night, and I came up for a new idea for an art project: The
Chibi Adventures of Star Wars! In which I make fun of anything
and everything, and the universe takes a quirky turn! It will
be a sort of collection of brief comic book skits. Right now
I only remember one gag off the top of my head, though, and it's
so good I'm not going to spoil it like a movie trailer, so, no examples.Movie trailer: Here's all the biggest explosions, the funniest lines, and the kissing scene!
Me: Great! Now I don't have to watch the movie!
This picture is a family portrait of all five sisters, including a rare glimpse of that elusive, deleted, annoying character Haila! The little arrow in the top right connects to a large X that is pointing at her, so even then I was thinking about getting rid of her. From left to right, they are Zela, Kayla, Sela, Mayla, and Haila. Zela also has her hair down, which is a first, and Kayla has her hair up, another first. I also forgot all the ears, and everyone has funny crowns. I think I drew this at my friend's house.
Haila is dressed in a nun's robe, and Zela's dress is based on one that I had around this time. It also shows their respective sizes, which was very important. Now that I know their heights, I don't have to worry about it any more. I think Zela's been growing, though...
I've also been having a painting revolution, and working quite a bit on a Warhammer character for my Army of Gondolin. Tuor now only needs his cloak painted! Unfortunately, that's probably going to be the hardest part. I plan to have it look like a cloudy sky, with a swan-shaped patch of blue - or white. White would be better. Then, on the inside, there's going to be a border in gold on the red, with complicated Celtic knot designs on the corners; at least, as complicated as I can make them.
I've been seeing ads for Eragon movies and video games on TV, so I researched it just now, mostly by using reviews on Amazon. Apparently, it's poorly written by a kid who got in over his head. Most of the people who liked were the ones with poor spelling. I was thinking I'd like to read it, but I think I have changed my mind. Dad said the other day: "You can write better than that kid, so why don't you write a novel and make us a million bucks?"
Sure.
The movie trailer looked a little half-baked as well.
