Oh my, has it really been that long since my last post? That really is very bad of me, especially considering I could've knocked up a few smaller update posts on my phone during a lunchbreak at work or something. I've been in some pretty dark places between then and now, and I never feel like writing when I'm having…

2013 creative targets update

By Iain January 1, 2014Creativity, ReflectionsNo Comments

I made three posts in early 2013 detailing some targets I had for the upcoming year, and all of them started well but fizzled out after I stopped smoking for some reason. I feel that if I acknowledge my mistakes, I can learn from them and improve myself. Here is my appraisal of the creative targets I set myself in…

Goodbye 2013

So what happened in 2013 then? It was another mixed bag. The best thing ever happened: I stopped smoking. And I don't even miss it. I'm not suffering from some black depression because I'm holding myself back from smoking my precious cigarettes, I'm not deluding myself by switching to an eCigarette, I'm not counting down the hours until I can…

Back on the forum a few years ago: KjGarly wrote: I think theres going to be another movie. Caprylate wrote: Yeah, I heard there would be a spin-off, one for Wolverine and the other for Magneto. Fallen Phoenix wrote: Yea I heard about them too, the Wolverine one is definitely in the works, and the Magneto one apparantly looks at…

I feel like a traitor, kind of

For doubting Marvel... When we get a new cat I want to call it Richard Parker Oh yeah, before Star Trek started, there was a trailer for The Wolverine. It looked pretty badass. Being a Marvel kinda guy, really into the X-Men back in the day, I am well up for it. Then, directly after that, was a trailer for…

I am Doom

By Iain March 7, 2013Books, Creativity, ReflectionsNo Comments

So I was getting frustrated last night, trying to nail the composition of a piece I'm working on (so annoying not even being able to get the initial sketch stage done with). It's a piece featuring Doctor Doom, focusing on his head and shoulders, arms raised aloft, harnessing some ball of energy or something. The initial idea was to do…

It’s been a while

This is the longest I've left making a post for a long time. Nothing interesting has really happened to be honest. I've made a canvas for a work-friend, and nearly finished another one for some other friends, convinced Jane to make some progress on her fiction (specifically, The Famous Yiberdeedo), watched some films that I don't really feel the need…

Avengers Assemble

By Iain November 25, 2012Books, Films/TV, ReviewsNo Comments

This is it, what we've been building up to! Wow - I over-egged that a little. There was no real build up, was there? And this is a pay-off? Poor reader. Anyway - Avengers Assemble. I just had to have a picture of the delightful Black Widow in here somewhere, she stole the show if I'm being honest. It appears…

The fourth film is Thor. This was a beautiful film, both in terms of visuals and in content. Thor starts off as an arrogant and cocky young man, starts a war, and is sent to Earth, stripped of his Godly powers. He then slowly comes to terms with his newfound mortality, and his father's apparent death. His personality-changing-montage wasn't quite…
