Random Ramblings

Fran found this for me and it's AMAZING.
This was directed by Todd MacFarlane and apparently handled by the same studio that did the Batman Animated Series back in the day ~<3
OMG I LOVE IT.

(also this studio really knows how to do awesome chicks. XD)
But I think it's also just... kind of amazing. And a great juxtaposition (lol THAT word) between the saturday morning cartoons of my childhood and such serious subject matter.
It's fast and great and RAWR I AM MOTIVATED BY STUFF LIKE THIS OMAGAW. XD

and this

Both from Erin. <3

And these, which I didn't post when I found them, lol. XD

Vocaloids kinda creep me out and fascinate me at the same time, but the animation's hella nice!

-A Tiffany find of awesome~

So haunting and beautiful. D8

And another from Fran!

IT HAS THE COMBINED POWERS OF THE GUY WHO DID DIGIMON AND TAKASHI MURAKAMI. IT'S FANTASTIC. XD

- WHICH IS WHAT THE FUCKIN' CRAP -

After reading about this:
http://www.anorak.co.uk/anorak-in-new-york/185867.html

in my newspaper, in an editorial about how America is getting more and more stupid (if you get the Times-Dispatch, read it.) Seriously.

He said the art looks like it was done by a "gifted" six year old, and that we should vote for this guy because an angel says so? OF COURSE. Mind you, he's running for RE-election. So he's IN OFFICE.

WHAT THE CRAP.

If our country gets any more stupid, and continues at its current rate of stupidification, by the time I'm 50, everyone else around me will be drooling and babbling and living like cavemen. It's DE-volution. What the hell is going on??? Aren't the strong supposed to survive, and the races will change and adapt to be better?

I guess it all has to do with living in your environment, though. So INCREDIBLY STUPID people survive and thrive and smart people are burned as witches and/or commit suicide to escape this nightmarish reality.

Really.

Seriously.

What is wrong with our world? WHY are FEAR-MONGERING PSYCHOPATHS getting more attention than anyone who uses logic and reason? What is so AWFUL about a logical world, the real world?

I can tell you what, but the real world, with all its faults, is far less scary than the prospect of people who introduce lies into that world and make people believe it is truth.

Of course, that would require a thing called acceptance. Which, believe me, I know, is SO much harder than denial. It's so much easier to believe in fantasy.


But you can't do that, or else those fantasies can be used. By maniacs.

( An unexpected turn )

Oh yeah, and I wanted to say, I'm a motherfuckin' sinner, and proud of it. I'm not mean to anyone, I learn, I'm a nice person, but I'm sure that if you were going by the bible, I'm probably going to hell. I learned to accept that fact long ago. XD Which is why El Diablo and demons and everything in-between are figuring largely into my comic. :P

So hit me, come on. I'll take whatever you throw at me, and burn it up with my fire-breath because I AM JUST THAT HORRIBLE.

Jeezus.

What's wrong with me?

A linky post. Eh, 'tis nifty.

Nifty Jamie Hewlett article. Read it, yeah?
It explains some of what he's up to now, and it sounds intriguing. And it has picturrres. :P

So, my sister found Jhonen Vasquez' Myspace, [which I didn't know he had. WTF? Why didn't I know this! XD ] and it has some spiffy pictures I hadn't seen before, which is always nice. http://www.myspace.com/proglottid
And then I found this:

[Argh, don't kill me for ganking it, Jhonen.]
Jhonen's got a WoW zombieeeee. XD XD XD XD
I was just scrolling along, and then I was like "WAIT WTF OMG THAT'S A FORSAKEN" 0_0 I knew he played WoW, but... yeah. XD I knew because I was just drawing one myself last night. XD (Post is forthcoming) Of course, his owns in the stylization department, but ah well. :3

...and I know you can actually get that sort of hair and teeth (at least I think so) which just made my awesome-nerd-power go up 5 points.
