secondlinaWell, 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...

Date: 2007-06-13 03:41 am (UTC)By the way, Lina's foot/Gourry's forehead = OTP!! I love Zel's introduction as well.
I just like seeing updates from you in any format. I miss my Isa! *glomps* I'm glad you had a good time with Link's family. I also agree with you completely regarding Pirates. The more I watched, the more I liked Elizabeth, loved Jack (yes, I agree with the crab scene!) and couldn't care less about Will.
NORRINGTON! *sobs*
Oh, and Jack/Jack/Jack/Jack/Jack/Crab/Goat/Telescope = OTP!

Date: 2007-06-13 04:06 am (UTC)Lina as shoes continually amuses me greatly. I love the panel with poor Gourrycrow with the shoe in the face and your skirt modestly held in place.
Aieee. Meg's a work! But what's in the middle of her forehead? Hmmm. (I also totally relate to "As a petite being, my reflex is always flight.")
Zel had a good entrance, too!
To add to PotC3 memories: "Don't anybody move. I've lost my brain."
How the heck could Elizabeth walk with all that weaponry, especially the big piece?

Date: 2007-06-13 06:41 am (UTC)I love the shoe in the face, and poor you trying to stay decent. ^_-
(As far as posting goes...I hate long periods of silence myself. I'm always wondering what the heck you're up to when I don't see your presence online at all. Drawings are still icing on the cake, but not required.)
no subject
Date: 2007-06-13 12:21 pm (UTC)I love the comic though, but yeah about updates. Anything is great to be honest, although it's nice just seeing you pop in and say hey, what's up without having drawings there too. I promise I do read your posts even if there aren't any drawings! Just post the drawings whenever you have the time, but don't be afraid to make a normal post if you have nothing to show.
Although that's coming from me who barely ever posts anything in his journal!

Date: 2007-06-13 02:28 pm (UTC)I agree with you on Elizabeth. I found her to be a bit annoying in the 2nd movie, but she was much more enjoyable in the 3rd one. I didn't think the crab as work creatures, but now that you mention it...it fits.
One of my friend has heard a rumour that Disney wants to make 3 more PotC movies, (@_@) which I REALLY hope isn't true. They should just leave the plot as it is. However, even if that is true, there are also rumours that Johnny deep doesn't want to play Jack anymore. So, I really hope Disney doesn't make anymore movies, because I can't imagine anyone else playing Jack
As for you comics, I'm fine either way. I'm just always glad when I see you post. ^_^

Date: 2007-06-13 02:48 pm (UTC)I though it was cool in a way for norrington to go out that way. He was cool. He has always been a good character, even when trying to be evil. I loved him for that.
Another really sad scene was the one with Elisabeth father. God, that was so sad! I was happy that they made it dramatic and didn't have him come aboard. If they would have "saved" him , it would have been a bit cheap.
I didn't really care much for will either, but I still though the wedding ceremony was cool (although I admit, I loved it mainly for barbossa "Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today! *stabs* Yarhahahaha!") and I though the ending was sad.
My Zelgadiss is SO emo. *laughs*
I keep getting a lot of "we don't care for the lack or drawings...Just update!" I get that. I'd like to update more...I don't like when there's no drawings though. Maybe I can post older stuff on "blank" days. I should give me the goal to post every 2 or 3 days...

Date: 2007-06-13 02:54 pm (UTC)The diamind in the middle of her forehead is just to tell her apart from the other works. Normally I would have colored her a different color or something, but this is a black and white comic so...It's kinda like the bow on Chisery.
That scene where Elisabeth removes all her weaponery is such a classic! I don't know if anyone here remembers the one from miss congeniality ("No armored car?" "That would be my other dress")...I usually I suggest the big gun would be attached to an inside-leg strap, or inside her boot, since she reached down to fetch it. But they gave her small chinese shoes and a skin tight coton pants who don't stretch. So, technically, the gun could not have been anywhere. They shoulod have given her a little hustler or something and she could have pulled out this big kahuna of a weapon. More realistic, and just as funny.
God, no, not jacks brain!

Date: 2007-06-13 03:01 pm (UTC)I think it's also funny that the movie cast in both Oz and Dorothy's real world are the same, creating some kind of warped reality. In the movie, Oz is a dream, and it contains freudian elements (such as the tranposition of known faces to unknown personas)where as in the original books by Baulm, Oz is not a dream, and Dorothy returns (kinda like Alice, who returns and becomes queen.)
...
Okay, that was my boring and geeky Oz talk. I'm just an enormous fan of fairy tales and stories like Peter Pan, Alice and Oz.

Date: 2007-06-13 03:04 pm (UTC)Okay, Like I mentionned before, a lot of people seem to prefer more frequent update, even if bare of drawings. I'll try to give it a shot.
no subject
Date: 2007-06-13 03:07 pm (UTC)I'd like to post more, but I have like...Conditionned myself. It AS to have an image. Maybe I can post more photographs or images of paintings I like when I have nothing drawn by myself to post. Kinda like the people who review 50 books (that challenge a few people are doing, including Yuki) but with illustrations / illustrators. That would definitly get me to post faster and yet have nothing specific to show!
no subject
Date: 2007-06-13 03:10 pm (UTC)God, I hope they stay at 3. Trilogies work well. Doing any more movies would suck, especially if Jack is not there. I suggest they make an animated series instead, if they really want to milk the movie of this cow. Animated Jack would be nice. And the special effects would be less expensive. Hey, maybe a 3d animation? They already have models done in Kingdom hearts!
...I should post more.

Date: 2007-06-13 07:28 pm (UTC)Will you ever put Amelia in one of your comics?
Oh wait..that would make Zel betray his beloved toaster...never mind XD (but I would love to read an Amelia comic by you ;) )
As for PoTC, I've read an interview in which Orlando Bloom says he doesn't want to be in another PoTC movie
but he's not Johnny Depp so who cares?I don't think there will be another movie, and honestly I don't think I would want it: this one disappointed me, even if there were good parts
I've never seen so many different opinions about a movie XD . On the forum I frequent everyone likes it or hates it for completely different reasons XD
no subject
Date: 2007-06-13 07:55 pm (UTC)The reason why Amelia is absent is probably the toaster indeed. However, I love that character. I drew two fanmanga based on her character. I,ll most likely post them up here eventually. One of them, titled Home, will actually be posted on this website:
http://www.claire-bible.org/
The website host is a friend and wanted to post it up even if it was Amelia centric. So check it out!
POTC = debate powah!

Was that Zel as the Tin Man? Seems to fit...
And Anilse ws turned into a work creature? How interesting!

Date: 2007-06-14 12:59 pm (UTC)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. ^^
no subject
Date: 2007-06-14 07:30 pm (UTC)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

Date: 2007-06-14 10:14 pm (UTC)Yeah, I realized that after I posted the comment. I'm not all up on who's who in your comics yet...

Date: 2007-06-16 12:56 pm (UTC)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
