The Fantastic Four Casting.....BLAGH

Okay...I have to say right off that I have not seen either of the FF movies.

But this bugged me, so I thought I'd throw this out there...

I hate the casting for these FF movies.
Sure the guy who plays Dr. Doom has an evil face, so I guess that's cool, but he's not really the Doc Doom from the comics, right?
He's some jilted fiancee/ former boss of these guys from what I'd heard....

Chikis looks retarded in that make-up, and with the amazing digital characters running around nowadays like Davey Jones and the fricken Silver Surfer himself, there's just no reason to make someone sit in a makeup chair that long for something that looks that bad.

Mr. Fantastic is a complete nobody. Oh, wait....he played Indiana Jones' dad in a flashback for like three seconds.
Throw us all a bone and give the dude grey temples.....so at LEAST he still doesn't look like the kid playing the Torch.

Speaking of, this kid doesn't seem too bad. But, if the Human Torch had blonde hair, he woulnd't look so much like stretcho...
I'll come back to my Human Torch gripe in a second.

Jessica Alba.
Sure, she's cute. But she doesn't look like someone I'd cast as Sue Storm.
Especially when you see that they've bleached her hair super blonde and given her blue contacts.
Someone mentioned that with all that on she looks like one of the Wayans bros. in White Chicks.
Mean, but kinda true.

Anyway, my beef is that Alba looks NOTHING like the dude who's supposed to be playing her brother.
Instead of totally changing her to look like a blonde-haired, blue-eyed chick, why didn't they just lighten her hair a little and actually hired her REAL BROTHER WHO IS ALSO AN ACTOR, Josh Alba?
Seems a lot more feasible....and I think it'd be neat to have a partially latino FF team!
I just don't know what Alba is supposed to be....it looks like someone trying to dress up like her, you know?

Well, on top of that, why don't we just dodge ALL that and just hire Kim from 24?

News Report From the WORLD OF WARCRAFT

This just in....

This is Tuesday, AKA Patch Day, normally when WOW dorks get a one day vacation while Blizzard shuts down the game servers for much needed maintenence.

After several hundred thousand of us downloaded the new patch, we all got online to scope out the new Player-vs.-Player Arena Season 2 Gear.

And apparently, we all tried to fit into the same hut to check them out.


The screenshot above was taken by a co-worker, who tried finding the merchant offering the new gear. He's a little green goblin somewhere in that mess.

I showed up fifteen minutes later....the Flight Point was so bogged down, about fifty players all hung in a holding pattern while the server figured out where to put us.

Here's a shot of when I arrived, corpses and skeletons already piling up....avid pvp'ers taking advantage of the tight quarters to "gank" (or unecessarily assassinate) other players hanging out.



Pretty funny. Had trouble logging out.
I wish I hadn't left my character in that town...hahahaha.

MOVIE MONDAY: DAVEY JONES

Got hung up with the PODCAST, and just scanned! Busted out the brush pen for the first time in ages...

MOVIE THURSDAY?!?!! : MEGATRON (Apology Edition)

To make up for the couple of un-colored Venom heads I tried to throw at you on Monday, I challenged myself with the task of making heads or tails of the Transformer movie version of Megatron.....

Sure, they just put out an awesome toy of the Megatron we grew up with, but they seemed to ignore all the great design elements of the original, and just went with a big old pile of spaghetti for the movie.

So, I present a happy medium:

MOVIE MONDAY: VENOM (Super Late and Half-Assed Edition)




OK....it's just two heads....not even colored....

In GOOD news, I saw the new Pirates movie and I'm totally gonna draw Davey Jones!
That movie was awesome!

Bumblebee: Supplemental

OK...it's been mentioned countless times and I just don't see why it hasn't been done.
Bumblebee as Mini Cooper.


Strangely, Cooper pulled out of a Transformer promotion a couple years back....I guess we were really close to seeing one come out, but meh...
I based the body and possible transformation on the awesome Classics Bumblebee toy that came out recently.
And I dusted off and finished coloring the old Bumblebee I'd done years ago and linked last time.

MOVIE MONDAY: BUMBLEBEE




Welcome to the first Movie Monday!
Where I'll draw a character/prop/whatever from a movie, and give it a spin my way...I guess...ha

For this first one, I've stayed fairly true to the movie design of the Transformer Bumblebee.
I just wanted to see if I could draw him and take out all the wiggly, super-busy, Bionicle looking crap, and get to the design underneath.
I didn't like the weird re-breather type face, so I went with a mix of the old toy and the cartoon for his head.
After it's all said and done.....he's STILL too busy.
And I studied the reference...there's just no way he has enough car bits to make a camaro.
Still kind of cute, though.

I'd actually drawn old school Bumblebee several years back ( found
HERE), if you prefer a more "proper" rendition...

And hey, if you kids have any recommendations for Movie Monday, gimme a shout out....
Would you like modern, newer movies? Or takes on the classics?
I, of course, have full veto power....hahahaha....no Donny Darko, or Harvey the rabbit!
