A Shame...

Sat Nov 21, 2009, 6:49 PM
I just got news from Yahoo, New Moon break the previous single day record set by the Dark Knight.

It's a shame that an almost brain dead movie largely for equally brain dead preteen girls can break the record of the Dark Knight, arguably the best action movie ever made.

I remember watching the first Twilight movie and went out half way through, before that movie kills more of my brain cells. I think my IQ probably dropped like 1 or 2 points after watching Bella Swan's blank face for some 40 minutes. It's horrible, when you think what kind of society we live in when movie (and books) like Twilight goes insanely popular.

Don't get me wrong, I love Hollywood high budget trash movies, I don't really care if there's a logical plot as long as it looks good and action packed or extremely funny. I like transformers, the new Star Trek movie, all the crappy summer blockbusters. But Twilight......Damn other than Pattinson's good look and a shirtless Taylor Lautner, I have no idea what makes this movie a success. Why, Kristen Steward only has one face - the angst one, and she use that face for every situation.

I don't get it... I just don't.

Was in a hurry yesterday and couldn´t leave a comment after watching you.

Just wanted to let you know that your style is very unique and your "rough" rendering of skin and textures give your pictures a very dynamic feel.
Amazing work ;)

I´m through with accepting Limit, just because someone said they´re so

Thanks :D I'm still looking for my "style", so I'm trying all kinds of different things~ But I think I'll stick with the "rough" skins. I don't like those super shinny, perfectly smooth skin.

I'll keep working!

yeah me neither, I like them when it´s just about coloring other peoples lines etc.
but when it´s about creating your own stuff from scratch to finish I believe a more dynamic and rough approach usually leads to more emotions.

Plus you can use the rougher transitions between colors/objects to frame certain areas of your pictures

oh my I´m mumbling ;)

You´ll find your style, I´m 100% sure about that!

Actually, I was pretty careful not to go "emotional" with my art work. It's strange. I want my art to be narrative instead of expressive. But I guess in the end, you can't avoid it. Emotion is the motivation of creativity.

And I never thought about "framing" a certain area with texture, good idea! I'll keep that in mind.

I hope I find my own style... and break it and find something new. LOL~

Well there is "emotional" in terms of what you display, which most people tend to see in very happy or sad pictures.
On the other hand everything in life is being influenced by emotions, wether they are subtle or strong.
And seeing as you want your pictures to be narrative instead of expressive I believe the subtle emotions might be more important than people might think.

It´s funny that you say you want to find your own style and then break it... even though that is just nitpicking but wouldn´t evolve/improve be a better word?

Both topics are propably the base for most of the artistic discussions out there, though I wouldn´t really know anything about that.

I wish you the best and I`m sorry for the textwall ;)
