Exile 3: Serpentine relaunched on Monday with
Page 33, illustrated by the very talented Trevor...wait, that's me. I'm talented. Updates will continue on Mondays until the story's finally finished, which I'm told will be sometime in November. This is the most ambitious ending the Exile team has ever attempted, as all the pages are scripted and require the artists to adhere to them pretty strickly, lest they screw up the next person's page. I've already started some of mine in advance, in anticipation of not having a lot of time between now and the conclusion of my work project (which will be sometime in August).
If you'd like to be a part of the Exile comics, mosey on over to
the forums and sign yourself up - it's free, it's fun, and Exile 4 promises to be a blast! I'm also told that there's an Exile Comics MySpace in the works....
So I went over to Laura's last night, her parents being out of town and her offering to cook me dinner - and what a great time we had! She made a magnificent feast of roasted chicken, garlic mashed potatoes, and cream corn. Then we watched a horrible movie - Sublime. Now I remember why I try to stay away from direct-to-video movies, especially horror movies. We eventually ignored it, and went off to do other things. The night was exactly what I needed after a week of stressing out over this project.
The MySpace Comment War is still going on, I just haven't had any time to attack anyone recently - like Jon, and Pogues...and whoever else I need to get back at.
Also, I saw Transformers on Tuesday. I won't go into details here (wait for when I have time to write a full review), but I think I'm the only person I know who absolutely hated it. It was worse than I thought it was going to be - but I think that's because I started buying into everyone's hype about how it wasn't as bad as they thought it was going to be. Sure, the special effects were impressive, but the 7 year-old inspired story and the blatant attacks at the classic characters throughout the movie made be pissed off. Also, there were too many characters - too much going on, and no one thing focused on. The movie suffers from pacing issues throughout, character motivations that make no sense, and a plot that someone's kid wrote. The fight scenes that everyone said were the redeeming quality of the flick were - I thought - on par in the "boring" department with The Matrix 2.
Also, Devistator is what the Constructicons turn into when they all combine - not some tank Transformer.
But enough about that for now. I'm back to work on my project (and trying to get next week's @$$hole comic done on time). Movie Night tonight, and a weekend of working my ass off on my "fun projects" (like comics). However, there's also art fair this weekend. 20% off coupons at the Vault, and the fact that some of my friends from Necto will be selling original art out of the club require me to make an appearance downtown...and buy stuff.
