Arrow/The Flash Sketches

"Arrow/The Flash Sketches"
I'm a major comic book geek, and I've been into the new comic book shows on TV, and the ones that have been around a season or two, or three. I recently did these sketches. Clockwise from the top, there's the Flash, Arrow, the chest of the Flash's costume, and Captain Boomerang. The shows Arrow and The Flash are great. I especially like The Flash. That show is lighter in tone. I like gritty, but sometimes lighter is refreshing. Barry Allen, a.k.a. the Flash, is kind of a funny character, but not so funny that he's a joke. Arrow is a gritty character and his show has a more serious tone. Other super heroes are appearing on these shows. Firestorm appeared on the mid-season finale of The Flash. Ray Palmer is appearing on Arrow, and he will eventually become The Atom.

There are almost enough comic book shows for every day of the week. There's The Flash and Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. on Tuesdays, Arrow on Wednesdays, and Constantine on Fridays. There have been reports about a Supergirl show for CBS, and a Teen Titans show for TNT. Within in a couple or a few years, we may have comic book shows on every night of the week. We may even have multiple comic book shows on each night. There's actually going to be a Marvel miniseries in, I think January, titled Agent Carter. It will feature the Peggy Carter character from the Captain America movies. With that and many many comic book films coming out, all in all it's a good time to be a comic book geek.

My Comic Strip Series

I plan on debuting my new comic strip series this Sunday on here, as well as on deviantART. It's a three panel strip, and I plan on posting a new one every Sunday. This comic strip features the characters I've been blogging about on here, such as Jack Miller, Matt Kirby, Jennifer Kyle, etc. It will be right below the banner/header on here, and I'm thinking of putting it above my "Newest Deviations" section on my deviantART page. I'll archive the comic strips in a category in my gallery on there. You can go to my deviantART page by clicking on the link to the right. If you're interested, check out the first comic strip this weekend.

Sword of Omens

I was watching Thundercats last night and it occurred to me, there hasn't been a show like it since, or at least not many. For one thing, the animation is very realistic and detailed. Most animated action shows nowadays have a style similar to that of Batman: the Animated Series , or anime. Those types of animation are great, but there's been nothing that looks like Thundercats since the '80s or early '90s. Another thing is, as far as I remember, there also hasn't been many animated shows like it in the fantasy genre since. I think you could probably describe it as being somewhere between Lord of the Rings and Star Wars. I know there aren't talking cat people, living in a lair shaped like a giant cat, in either of those, but it sort of has the feel of those. Third Earth sort of resembles a world like the one in Lord of the Rings, with all kinds characters, but there is also technology like in Star Wars. Star Wars also has some worlds that don't look as tec

The Dalai Lama

"The Dalai Lama" I've been practicing line drawing with the book titled Sketching Basics , by Alois Fabry. I think this drawing turned out pretty well, but I might like to try doing a version without the shading. Alois Fabry has the reader start out just drawing lines, and towards the end of the project, he has them doing shading. Line drawing, from what he said, doesn't have shading or anything like that. I guess he tells the reader to add shading to make it more than a line drawing (Fabry, 18-23). I've been kind of following His Holiness, the Dalai Lama, and what he does. I've been reading his books. I like what he has to say about achieving inner peace, and being compassionate. He has some very interesting points of view on things. I think people could, and I'm sure have, learn a lot from him. He's a very wise man. Works Cited Fabry, Alois. Sketching Basics . New York: Mud Puddle, Inc., 1986. Print.
