More Watchmen stuff and Dragon Ball

This time, it's because I stumbled upon an interesting detail. The new character posters are actually modeled after the original 1986 promotional ads for the comic. Check it out below, and go to Newsarama for more pictures and a nifty article.

To finish up today's post, here's a simple colored sketch of everyone's favorite monkey-tailed alien, Son Goku, riding his cloud Kinton.

Have a nice weekend!

Star Trek

I've never been much of a Trekkie (or Trekker, or whatever they like to be called). Sure, I saw the ocasional Star Trek episode back when they consisted of Captain Kirk beaming into some planet's surface and seducing an alien female, a random federation member dying and Spock being logical; but I've never been a hardcore fan.

That being said, I'm kind of curious as to what J. J. Abrams will do in the new Star Trek movie. The cast is pretty interesting, and J. J. Abrams always finds some cryptic way to make movies and plots more interesting
The new poster is being distributed on the San Diego Comic Con. It's actually made of four different pieces, and each person will only get one (source: I Watch Stuff).

Look at Kirk's seductive look and Spock's pointy ears! Live long and prosper! *does Vulcan thing with her hand*

For today's sketch, I did a crappy Krillin on MSPaint. If you don't know who Krillin is, get out of here before I use the Vulcan Nerve Pinch on you.



I mean it.

Dragon Ball Poster

I don't know why I even keep posting about this movie, which will almost certainly be a piece of crap bigger than the Everest, but there was a new poster unveiled this week, and here it is.

For its credit, it's the image that most resemble the manga/anime so far. But it's still bad. I have no hopes whatsoever for this movie, it just amazes me how far out of their way they went to make something that looks nothing like the original! I mean, fucking Mutenroshi. What have they done to him? Why can't they shave Chow-Yun Fat's head and stick a beard on him? It's not like you need a million dollar budget to do that. And yeah, I think I've said this last time I mentioned the movie, but bare with me. It's just upseting.

I've started to re-read the manga, out of heartache for what they're doing with the series. It's so funny, and as cool as I remembered it to be. Long live Dragon Ball! And because I have no sketch for today, here is a photo of some of my little Dragon Ball Z figurines. Not the same, I know - sorry guys!

On a post-ending note, I was interviewed recently by my friend Nicolas, so if you want to check it out, go to his blog. Make sure to read the other posts too!

Rock on!
