ComicPageOfTheWeekend: Frank Miller's The Spirit

You might now I'm a huge The Spirit fan. But let me tell you, Frank Miller's a pretty bad fit for the character. The Spirit's supposed to be a fun, pulp, old school quirky hero. Not a buff, tough, gritty noir vigilante.

Why did they let him direct the film? Oh, right. That was right off the success of Sin City. I have no idea if Miller or the producers were the ones asking for more of that. And The Spirit license was easy to snatch at that time... but it still doesn't make sense to me to this day.

And let's not pretend Miller's familiar with the character. The only actual thing he did related to the character was providing the below pinup cover art poster for his own film adaptation. Which is immediately just another Sin City pinup poster art. Sure, it looks nice and all, but it absolutely doesn't screem "Will Eisner" to me, personally...

#BestOf Sin City - He Never Screams

With the new Amazing Spider-man hitting theaters it made me think of something.

You know who would have made a much better Peter Parker than both Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield? (personally I never felt any of those two suited for the role.. Tobey having nothing similar to how Peter Parker should look like - despite a good script for his Petey scenes - and Garfield looking way too much like a popular kid rather than the geek he should be - despite good Spider-man scenes)

Elijah Wood.

You don't believe me?

Here's one awesome scene from the original Sin City that if anything has him in a very Spider-man-like role.



Look at the glasses! His dorky look! Those Spidey-like reflexes! Spot on!

#DeletedScenes - That Batman movie we never got...

It is a well known fact that after the abysmal Batman & Robin by Joel Schumacher, the Batman franchise was put in development hell for the next decade.

But originally, plans to redeem the series were launched as soon as the bad reviews started to hit the film. After all, one bad movie or not, Batman is quite a lucrative worldwide popular brand name.

Here's a look at that Batman movie we never got before Nolan's reboot!

Outcast Studios - LIVE DRAW NIGHT December 2011

http://outcaststudios.com/forums/

Hi guys!
Yesterday evening was my 4th participation in the Outcast forums all-new "Live Draw Nights" for this quarter!
(You can find all my previous blogs by either following my meme tag or checking out the following links for the LDN February 2011, LDN May 2011 & LDN September 2011)

This weekend was yet another rude sessions of sketching, sketching and even more sketching!
Like before, I tried to keep my Twitter account updated as I went along.

If you're just joining me and don't know in what this LDN art jam challenge consists, it was roughly 4 hours long of various challenge thrown at us.
It's kinda like being in a "virtual convention" with various online members of the Outcast forums, getting various different challenges every hour and having to quickly (either digitally or traditionally) draw a lot of random characters.
It's a real challenging practice.
It was fun to get all together and draw, draw, draw! Keep our senses sharp and our hand fast. A great way to work your skills if you will!

Like the previous times, we had a great time. Various characters and fun ideas during the night.
Just trying to keep up is a fun challenge in itself!~

Now, let's dig into yesterday's entries!
