Warrior of black and white

 I saw Kung Fu Panda 2 yesterday. It was fun! The animation quality was amazing. Really play up the kung fu movie classics and there's some amazing action scenes. The characters are still a ton of fun. And plushy. So much plushy. I'm also deeply in love with Tigress. Tigress. TIGRESSSSSSS!!! The story itself was pretty okay to good. Just like HTTYD, it's kinda predictable, but in a good way. It doesn't really feel like a second part. It kinda just feels like a took a long break watching a single movie. So that a good thing. 

The message of the story, that the present is what matters and that you basically shape your own future, no matter what your past is, was pretty cool. And well timed for me. Kung Fu Panda is speaking to me? Well played movie, well played. I need some changes in my life. And i'm currently working to make them happen. And Kung fu will help me, apparently. :D

Also, I need to take a second to talk about the colors in this movie. This movie was incredible on that point. so many beautiful colors and designs. Gaaah.

I also realized that almost all my favorite animated women are in the Dreamworks movies. 



LAYDAYS. Rapunzel is also part of them though. And so will most likely be Merida, from the upcoming "Brave" Pixar flick. Did you guys see the first images? She looks fierce. It's a shame the female director working on the movie had to leave the project.... So sad.

Oh, you probably noticed up there with the ladies : Loki and Darcy from the Thor movie. Thanks, paynesgrey , I ship is now.  Did Loki even have a chick in the original comics? I know there's two Thor experts on my f-list. SPEAK UP!

I'm totally babbling right now. Dammit sangria. What are you doing to me? I went to grab lunch with a group of friends to say goodbye to a pal going out of the country for a couple of months. There was booze. I drank it. I'm sleepy now.

HAVE SOME WONDERLAND DOODLES. KAPOW!

Hehehehe, Tigress and Astrid... ^___^ Oh that so made me grin my silly Dreamworks fangirl head off. :D

We're probably going to see KFP2 this weekend (I hope!) and so far I've managed to keep plot spoilers to a minimum. Everyone who's seen it has enjoyed it, so really looking forward to it. ^_^

Yeah, so far, people really seem to love it! Which is great!

Wonderland! *squishes* It'd be awesome to do an Isa-illustrated version of Alice.

[secondlina.livejournal.com]

Maybe one day!

Loki goodness! XD Yay! =D Lots of awesome art! Of course my eyes keep drifting up to Loki *fangirl swoon!* ;) As for girls, yes, Loki has a wife (who disappears on and off as to wonder where the heck she went!) Sigyn, the goddess of fidelity is his wife :P Here's a pic of her (and those god awful Kirby hats! LOL!) http://marvel.com/universe/Sigyn as well as a short bio ;)

Oh, so same as the original mythology then! :D

[paynesgrey.livejournal.com]

Haha, you know I love that Loki and Darcy drawing! SQUEE.

[secondlina.livejournal.com]

Indeed. You temptress, you.

We talked about DW girls two days ago XD.

To be honest the only thing that excites me about Merida is the fact that she looked like what would happen if River and Amy decided to have kids XD

[secondlina.livejournal.com]

We did. Good conversation!

...Boy, i'm sure there's some fic somewhere with that.

Tigress, Astrid, Rapunzel, Wonderland. <3333

Girl power.

Saaaaangria! Man, it's been so long since I've had some. Maybe I'll try to make some this weekend.

Love the Wonderland sketches! Particularly Alice and Mad Hatter.

[secondlina.livejournal.com]

That's a good idea. It's so summer-ish :D

[theywerecones.livejournal.com]

Those wonderland sketches are PRECIOUS ;u;

[secondlina.livejournal.com]

Makes you wanna keep the little guys in jars. :D

[snapdragon76.livejournal.com]

Yeee, I get to see Po and co. tomorrow! I've heard lots of good things about this movie!!

And I love your drawing of Loki and Darcy! He heeee...

[secondlina.livejournal.com]

Tasing is foreplay.

[snapdragon76.livejournal.com]

Wow! Considering how often she tased Thor, it's a wonder they're not engaged...

And I use my brand spanking new Tigress icon just for you, bb. ;D

That's Astrid and who is the one on the right of the Tiger?

[secondlina.livejournal.com]

That would be the delightful and poorly drawn Roxanne from Megamind.
