Draw Comic Book Action. "Techniques for creating dynamic superhero poses and action". This is what I need to learn! You would've thought that reading comics and admiring the images therein would teach me all the information that I would possibly need to do this, right? Well, it's one thing to defrost a bit of bread in a microwave, it's quite…

I’m not dead

I've just been really, really busy. Due to people going on holiday, I've been working far more than I'd like. I really must amend my availability contract... Have I mentioned that I've been drawing a lot recently? I can't think why I stopped in the first place. Well, I bought a Bamboo graphics tablet to enable me to get into…
Warhammer 40k: Space Marine

Warhammer 40k: Space Marine

This game made me feel like I was living my teenage dreams. I used to be a huge Games Workshop fan, especially the Space Marine faction and Warhammer 40k in general. Hero Quest got me into it all, then Space Crusade hit and I was hooked. The Dark Angels were my favourite Chapter, and I'm looking to get their emblem…

So I bought this because one of the guys at work was raving about it. I probably should have done some research first, because about two hours in, I really regretted buying it. The controls felt sluggish, and because I picked a Sniper Rifle as my primary weapon, killing stuff was troublesome. It had that typically Japanese mechanic, you know,…

Now I'm back into drawing and stuff, I feel like I need to build up a reference library. I used to have "How To Draw Comics: The Marvel Way", but I have no idea where it is now, I think my brother may have it. Whenever Jane and I used to go to Hobbycraft, I always used to go off…

Dresses and kissing and boys and alcohol

They are the main themes I picked up whilst listening properly to Lana Del Rey's album, Born To Die. I listened to it a while ago at work, but due to the subtleness of the overall sound, it was more like background music. I couldn't pick out individual lines, just the basic melodies - which is in no way the…

Fate

Walked into the local independent music shop yesterday, first CD that catches my eye? Dig Your Own Hole. I'd call that fate. Posted from WordPress for Windows Phone

I picked up a pencil

Posted inCreativity, ReflectionsNo Comments
I did. I picked it up and I used it to make lines on a bit of paper. I feel... Good about this. It was the first time in many, many years I've drawn properly. I've been struggling with it for a while now, feeling like I'm wasting my life, hating almost every second of retail (but feeling utterly trapped…

Dig Your Own Hole

In a bit of a Chemical Brothers mood. Why do I not own Dig Your Own Hole? I have all the others except that one. How odd. Posted from WordPress for Windows Phone

Further Halo 4 speculation

I've been thinking about the "threat unlike anything the Master Chief has faced before", and while shooting at actual, real Forerunners would be pretty cool, at the end of the day, they are aliens. The Chief has fought aliens before, The Covenant was 100% alien. Grunts? Alien. Elites? Alien. Hunters? Alien. What if this "new" threat is human? What if…
