Deadpool is patrolling YOUR streets!


Either Deadpool finally made it past the 4h wall...or some loony is kinda taking the whole "Super heroes" a bit much seriously.

Anyway, a guy's "protecting the streets" of Wenatchee, in north-central Washington city. A city of approximately 30,000 residents.
He's donning so by doning Deadpool's trademark costume and posting flyers all over the street.

Nowadays, it's not uncommun to see "real life" superheroes in small towns. What with all their popularity these days and all those movies Hollywood keeps putting out.
But usually they make their own super hero identity.
This guy decided to go for Marvel Comics' own "Merc With A Mouth". (Disney/Marvel will probably send him a lawsuit by the end of the week)
This is dangerous PR for Marvel, on one hand he's doing free advertisement for one of their B-Listers..on another, this could backfire...imagine the press and the medias all over Marvel if this guy ended up dead or beaten in a dark alley...yuck...

Wenatchee's Deadpool said he chose his character "because I allied with his humor and his ideal that what once was bad can become something better and good. .... And not his outlook on heroism or his methods." [...] Deadpool said the idea to dress up and help people "just came to me one day."
He acknowledged, however, that the costume thing has its drawbacks. It makes him hot when the sun's out, and it seems to put some people off.
"I tried to help a woman out of the rain the other day and she didn't really want to take my umbrella," he said. "I think she was kind of intimidated."
Deadpool has been putting up flyers around town so people know what he's up to and won't be alarmed when he rushes to help them. He asks anyone who needs help with just about anything to contact him via email at ncwdeadpool@hotmail.com.

So, you wanna help and picked up the crazy killer/psychopath/mercenary from Marvel's library? The walkin' lunatic, the regeneratin' degenerate?
(I'm waiting for the moment he'll declare it's because he read my Heroes! parody)

Anyway. we'll all sleep better knowing there's DEADPOOL patrolling ANOTHER city than ours :P
Ha!

(your costume rocks!)
(and can you confirm you're not actually working for Marvel, simply doing some viral marketing for an upcoming movie??)

"Hello l~aaady..."
*ignores*
"Awww..." :(

Outcast Studios - LIVE DRAW NIGHT May 2011

So, last night at the Outcast forums, we had another one of our "Live Draw Nights", where a dozen or so comic fans spend hours drawing characters after characters.

http://outcaststudios.com/forums/
It's a very fun challenge, it provides such an interesting and challenging practice session.
It's divided into 4 hours, were we:
- Draw 5-10 minutes characters on the first hour
- We draw half hour sketches the second hour
- Had an interesting rule in the 3rd one, do a "costume swap"
- Finish the last 4th hour with a much more challenging and complete drawing, based on someone's cosplay (this time, it was a pretty professional Iron Man cosplay)

There were some very interesting choices amongst the subject, they weren't even all comic book-related!

Let's check out some of the pics I've drawn last night, if you please!

First Hour


We started with a 90s classic, with Judge Dredd!
I was taking it slowly at first (see face) then noticed the next challenge was already up and rushed through the body...



I'm kinda impressed I was able to draw this much of Zatanna in so little time :P
Always fun to draw Zee^^


A simple Captain America bust.


Marv from Sin City.
Could have been much better.. I should have inked some black spots on his jacket, just for contrast...


Ugliest Joker I've ever drawn...in a "not that really good"-kinda way...

Second Hour


Link, from the Legend of Zelda. First non-comic book character!
We had the choice amongst various Links, but giving me a choice, I had to take Cartoon Link over emo-animu Link...


Okay, I admit it, I had fun with this one.
I decided to draw a more retro Samus Aran from the old Metroid games over the current one...

Third Hour


The "costume swapping" challenge!
We had to pick a character from a list, put him/her into another one's costume and vis-versa.
Some guys at the forums had fun with Poison Ivy's costume and Colossus'. Ha, good times :P
I picked up Starfire and decided to put her into another Titan's costume....


...and Raven into Starfire's.
Ha :P
Kinda gives a completely different angle to both Titans gals, heh? :'3


Fourth Hour


Finally, the last one!
We had these kickass reference pics of a fan in a badass Iron Man cosplay.
I went with a more classic comic book Iron Man for the sketch.

And that is all from last night's 4 hours of LiveDrawNight~
Hope you liked it ;)

Why don't you even try joining in for next time? ;)

AtoZ - G is for... GOLD like Booster Gold

Eyz' ComicBook Alphabet Challenge! 
Today, G is for... GOLD like Booster Gold!!



I simply had to draw Booster at some point. I guess I surprised some of my usual watched when I didn't use him for "B", heh? :P

ComicPageOfTheWeekend: Plastic Man and Giffen's guys

I told you last time I'd love to see the Ambush Bug tag along Plastic Man more often...
But I'd love even more to see Keith Giffen's own Ambush Bug tag along his other 4th wall breaking nutjob The Heckler even more...
And when you put all those three together, well, it's even tons of time better! :D

Sidenote: This is the only time the Heckler (re)appeared, outside his own miniseries. -sigh-

Drawing some cards

Here's some recent drawings I did. Thought it could be nice to share them on the blog :P


I've been reading lots of Spider-girl lately.
Thought I should finally try drawing her for once :P


And for some reason, drawing the Spider-girl above made me think of Evangelion. (was it the short hair?)
Then I realized how little Rei drawings I did or were in my deviantArt gallery.

So, here's one more!


And finally the last one.
One more of these "card"-type pics, and I'll stop, promise!


Thought it could be fun drawing Death herself!

(Read Neil Gaiman SANDMAN-related comic books!)

That is all~
Enjoy :'3

My favorite scenes from Disney Movies: Digga Tunnah

I love animation.
Classic "2D" "hand drawn" animation that is.
I think that as a cartoonist/illustrator, it should always by what we strive for, what we should try to reach even if paper drawings won't be animated. Giving a sense of movement and all that.

Anyway, I love Disney movies. I usually dislike the idea of making sequels to these timeless classics. And most of the times those direct-to-DVD sequels come pretty short on what was made before. But the Lion King 1/2 (or Lion King 3) is easily the best attempt they've ever done.

Here's the awesome song that opens and closes this prequel/sequel/interquel/parody:

ComicPanelsOfTheWeek: Justice League of Anarky

'love Ambush Bug, 'love Plastic Man too.
And I'd love to see this "team-up" more often.

CBR Tron: Betrayal

 

With Tron revival recently, Disney decided to try capitalize on this newly acquired fame and make some profit on the mainstream appeal the franchise was getting.

Thus, they decided to make some tie-ins around the release of Tron: Legacy.
Prequels.
Like Tron already had in the past while there wasn't a movie around, a new game and a new comic.
This is a review of the comic book that was released before the new Tron movie.

Comic title: Tron: Betrayal
Art by Jeff Matsuda, Andie Tong & Pete Pantazis
Story by Jai Nitz & Starlight Runner Entertainment
Published by Marvel Comics/Disney Press
From 2010

Lineup Tron
Format: Trade paperback collecting the two issues of Tron: Betrayal plus all new pages opening and closing this whole complete Graphic Novel.

For the release of Tron: Legacy, Disney brought an all-star cast of creators to bring some much-needed content to the Tron Universe.
Apart from a short comic book mini in 2006, the universe of Steven Lisberger's movie hadn't been really much explored in this format.

This story arc called "Betrayal" aims to fill-in the gap of time between both Tron movies, follow Jeff Bridge's character Flynn in the years following the liberation of The Grid in the original movie.

The original Grid (TM)

The book starts of with a complete recap of the events of the original Tron movie, drawn by Jeff Matsuda in a more cartoony way than the actual "Betrayal" story afterwards.

It's actually a pretty good recap of the original movie's storyline, so check out that plot in my previous Tron review :P

Anyway, to put things up quickly, Kevin Flynn entered the virtual reality called The Grid while he was working out for ENCOM. With the help of the program Tron, he was able to defeat the MCP and Sark, evil programs in charge of ENCOM's servers. After that adventure, Flynn became the CEO of the company and decided to turn it into one of the best videogames & software companies in the world!

Always beware of that evil doppelganger you create yourself based on you own image!

The story then picks up in 1983.
Flynn has copied the content of the old "ENCOM 511" computers, and started building in his own home and then under his private video arcade a new and improved virtual world on his new and updated "ENCOM 711" computer.
Flynn designs it as a world he will be able to improve and build upon, testing the limits of this digital frontier and his imagination.

This new Grid starts getting more and more complex, with lots of sentient programs populating it bit by bit.
To help him along his task, Flynn brings Tron back from the old 5-1-1 to help him out.
Then, required in the real world with his son Sam's birth (and later Sam mom's death) and a company to run, Flynn ends up needing to recreate his old mirror image Clu and gives life to an all-new Clu-2 at the same time.

Tron manage to be an integral part of the story and get more screen time than the actual new "Tron" movie.

The more time passes, Flynn seems to be stretched as far as it gets between this dual life.
Flynn is a dreamer, a software engineer. But also a man out of touch.
He wants to explore and play around in the Grid, but he has ENCOM to run. He's needed to help bring peace and stability in the virtual world, but also as a son who needs his father around.
Flynn comportment gets more and more erratic, absent. One day he's bored, at a meeting, then he disappears a couple weeks in the Grid.

Meanwhile, life found its way in the computer, from the very same lake Flynn built. Self-thinking "free" isomorphic programs called "ISOs". These new instable creatures start destabilizing Clu-2's perfect harmonized world. He calls their very nature chaotic. Dangerous.
But life is random. "Real" life anyway.

Clu-2 gets more and more dangerous himself when he decides to get in charge of the Grid, having Tron removed from all of his information, shuts down Shaddox, a program who helped rebuild this new Grid, and decides that Users like Flynn are the source of that same chaotic instability that has been threatening his perfect system.



Overall, it's a quite simple yet decent story.
The art is mostly top notch. I love the recap of the original movie, accenting on Tron (himself!) role in the original movie.

It's a story about life and it's very unique nature. Clu-2 has a program, needs a purpose, a function. Which he might take from Flynn originally, but gets more and more divergent.

Life is created artificially by Flynn first.
Then Sam Flynn is born (main protagonist of Tron: Legacy).
And ISOs start to emerge naturally from the Grid.
It's a conflict between the natural course of events and trying to have the control over it, over life.

Famous artist Jock (Green Arrow Year One) did the covers for this book, and it looks splendid.

A great read and easy read for newcomers.
Maybe a tad obvious from the start, and ending it on what seems to be a mid-note doesn't make it seem "complete".

This comic book was followed (story-wise) by the videogame Tron: Evolution. In which we see Clu-2 wage war against ISOs during the following years, before Tron: Legacy.

Check it out, for fans and interested!

I give it:

  2 / 3 Aaylas!
