Metropolis

[secondlina]

Seeing Astro kinda re-awoke me old love for Robots. Yes, I love Robots and Zombies and Batman. I am a 12 year old boy, apparently.

Seems like a good time to mention this:



Metropolis is a classic black and white silent movie made of awesome. Speaking of Astro Boy actually, some of you may know that Astro Boy's creator actually did his own version of Metropolis, which was in turn adapted recently into an (excellent) animation movie. However, both Metropolis have barely anything in common, mostly due to the fact that the anime version was done after the creator only saw the Metropolis poster. He never saw the movie itself. And yes, both the anime version and the ''Original'' are awesome.

Today, I spent the day with a fellow comic book artist, Sandra, who had released her own book at the same launch as ROSE. We quickly became friends and decided it would be awesome to do a comic book together, mainly me at the sketching and her at the inking (her inking talents are out of this world) and since we both love Metropolis so much, we figured doing our own adaptation of it might be fun!







In any case, I know i've got a lot of things running art wise (I'm only trying to make a million comic books with a zillion people!) but I think I really want to do these projects eventually. All these ideas, either initiated by me or by other people, have crazy amounts of potential. I guess I kinda hope i'll find a part time job I can live off.

Which reminds me, i've got interviews for the next 4 days!!!!! *does a high-five pose* GIMMEEEEE SOOOME!

Over and out.

Don't kill yourself with all the projects. On the other hand, knock 'em dead at the interviews. ^_-

I had to watch the original Metropolis for my Sci-Fi class and it was certainly interesting. Did you know there's a great version on YouTube with a new score that brings the piece together beautifully? Easy to find, just search for Metropolis on YouTube and it's there. Shame there are bits missing though.

So, if I ever found a Robot Batman or a Zombie Batman, you would be set? ^_~ (Although, wait, there was a robot Batman in one of the episodes of the animated series. XD)

I like the sketches. It's always neat to try to do your own version of a well known story.

Good luck with the drawing, I got a few writing projects that I want to work on.

Good luck with the interviews!

So many great ideas, so little time...but it's still fun to at least try and work on them.

Good luck with the interviews! Hopefully you'll soon have a good job.

Sweet~ I've never seen Metropolis, but I have heard of it and it sounds awesome. That's so cool you're going to make your own adaption of it. I'm sure you and Sandra will have fun with that. Good luck at your interviews! :D

Astro Boy was really well-done, wasn't it? I have the entire anime DVD collection, although I wish they had included the original Japanese language track with subtitles. =|

Sadly, I have not seen either one of the Metropolis films. =/

Good luck on your interviews!
