About time!

Well, yeah, I know, i'm slow at this update thing XD

What happened this past few days? Well, I finally saw Pirates of the Carribean 3. I liked it. 

No actual spoilers in the following text.

The character of Elisabeth, up to now annoying to me, we actually quite appealing! Though I think they pushed the growth of her character to much. I'm still a fan of Norrington (wah, poor norrie!) and I think the ending, though sad, was pretty good for a trilogie end. I hope they won't make a number four. I didn't like how the scenario seemed like it was going into one plot and then switched halfway. It made the movie confusing. A lot of those plots would have made good movies on their own. 

Davy Jone's love life makes me cry, poor bastard. The intro scene was awesome. If you still haven't seen it, make sure you don't come in late. It was a grat scene. It sent chills down my spine. Very powerful scene. 

Also: Now we know why Jack speaks funny don't we?

And finally: for those who have seen it...doesn't the crab-boat scene remind you of the work creatures?

End of movie squealing.

During the weekend, Link's family came down. It was fn to see all his brothers, his parents and his sister. Lot's of photos were taken. There was also a pool involved. We spent a day at Link's aunt's place, who lives here in Toronto. She had a pool. It was fun to splash around ^_^
The pool was actually full of salty water, which is apparently an alternative for chlorine. I like that idea. Pollutes less and stings less. Tastes just as funny.

How's work? My internship just moved into overdrive as it is coming to an end. The event is soon (two weeks) and therefore we are working like nutcases. But it's all good...

And yes, I am getting to a comic at some point! *laughs*

Finally, the follow up of the Oz miniseries! Woo!

I was actually wondering, do you guys like it when I update with a pack of drawings? Doing it like this makes it so that I take long brakes between my updates since I don't always have time to draw or idea to draw. Would you prefer if I showed these pages one by one or do you prefer the bunch updates? Anyways, tell me what you think...

For those who have missed them: The precedent Oz comics...

You really should post up 'my' doujinshi, because it's apparent I'm not the only Amelia fan. (So there, meanie!) ^_- And Home was all kinds of awesome. It still makes me cry...

(Although I bet Amelia's crying more since she's been replaces with an appliance.)

[secondlina.livejournal.com]

Indeed, they were drawn for you XD

Drawing those required a lot of getting into Amelia's character though, since you didn't provide a basic scenario, which gave me a lot of freedom...That's when I believe I actually started liking Amelia a lot. Before I was sortoff in between (One of those "yeah she's cool but the english version just added a nice layer of annoying.")

So I guess you spawnned the Amelia likeness. *laughs* I don't know if i'll ever draw another doujinshi based completly on her again. I just can't top "home". But i'll probably try.

I gotta say I see a lot of Amelia in Victoria as well. Like a grown-up (though sized down!) version of her.

In my older posts I really like the drawing of amelia and zel for x-mas. ^^

Amelia's devious like that. I didn't care either way about her originally myself, but she has a way of growing on you. (Agreed on the English version, especially the first voice. I don't mind the second, and Veronica Taylor won me over by having a convincing cry, but Masami Suzuki will always be the real voice of Amelia as far as I'm concerned.)

Amelia did influence Vic somewhat, but not entirely. I can see where people would see the similarities though. (It is funny that Vic is a more grown-up version, yet younger at the same time.) :D

I can't wait to see it *__________*

Yes, Amelia is a problematic character, and dubbing may completely revolutionize one's view of a char: for example they recently re dubbed Slayers in italian for the DVD version (because the original tv version had censor cuts to make it suitable to small children *rolls eyes*) and Amelia's new dubber is...awful >_>.
She's good at dubbing, but her voice doesn't fit her at all :she's the italian voice of Raven Baxter from That's so Raven and she's the typical voice used for characters that are a bit arrogant and whiny.

Even if I'ma an Amelia fan, I throw hissy fits every time I see the new version of Amelia on screen XD

If you want me to, I can host both of them. I still need to hook up the external and move "Home" over to the hard drive so I can code the pages and upload it. Aaaaah, the horrors of moving!

Go forth with great haste! Er...that is, yes, please do share it with the world! You might want to put a disclaimer that both were originally done as art trades (what we traded is a secret! ...unless Isa cares to share), so the doujinshi were tailored with me in mind. That way if people e-mail you wanting to know why Amelia had most of the focus, you can ignore them.

I included an Omake in Home that explains just that ^^
