man

I never realized how clean my sketches are actually like

Mmmmmm-

Anyways this is a little sumfin I'm working on- instead of just slapping this sketch into medibang and colouring it lazily, I'm gonna try doing lineart and colouring it in cause this is for a little project-

Well, it's a start of a comic. About a girl who has no friends and loves to study. One day she met an alien and became friends. And they're just trying to get the alien back home.

(Cough, it's a romance story)

Monthly Media: August 2017

A good month of media. 17 entries. Ooft. Each month I sort of regret starting this project but then regret regretting it because I always find something  that I like within the challenge. Went for a much quicker, rough & ready illustration process this time round, scanning in pencil sketches and colouring them in Photoshop.

Movies

Tropic Thunder (2008): ★★★

Only remembered catching bits of this before, but after being told by multiple people that it was great, I decided to rewatch. It wasn't great but it was good for sure. Would have liked more jokes than action, but the jokes were class. 'Booty Sweat' energy drink, Ben Stiller dumb acting, Robert Downey Jr.'s ridiculous character, and most of all Jack Black being so unhinged. All enjoyed. Also Matthew McConaghie is just the best. Some scenes were a bit hard to tell if they were jokes or not tho. Also Downey Jr's voice is almost intelligible.

Spotlight (2015): ★★★★½

An incredibly informative and important film about crimes that are incredibly hard to be informed of but are important to hear about. Very well grounded in facts of the case as well as an appropriate amount of philosophical and spiritual issues it throws up. Definitely watch, especially if you consider yourself part of any church (or large institution) as I do.

Fantastic Beasts & Where To Find Them (2017): ★★

This was alright. I imagine visual effects carries it further when viewed in a cinema and not on a plane, but nonetheless, it was a decent watch. Eddie Redmayne ladling on the awkwardness for Newt made me cringe a fair bit at times. Enjoyed NYC Jacob. In fact enjoyed the 1930s NYC setting a lot. But aye. My return to the world of HP solidified my grievances with it, along with some of the enjoyable cinematic delights too.

Labyrinth (1986): ★★★★

This was mental. In a very enjoyable, unpredictable way. I see why many still see this as a classic kids adventure film. So many unbelievable character ideas and designs, outside the box in so many ways. Also some classic LOL bits. Having a Bog of Eternal Stench that is a constantly farting body of water was a highlight. Bowie soundtrack was appreciated even if a little bit out of place at times. Also how can the characters be cute and simultaneously grotesque? Great film.

Edge of Seventeen (2017): ★★

Woody Harrelson was great. Lead character was insufferable. Can't be doing that in a coming of age rom com. No no.

TV

Black Mirror: Season 3

This show blew my socks off!!!! Where the acting/dialogue couldn't carry the episode, the concept behind the narrative totally did. The 'San Junipero' episode properly rocked my world! Made me sceptical of many technological things, but I feel in a good way. Sack uploading yourself to a server and thinking that it matters. Gave me the fear. Also the final episode was gnarly, and the hacker episode. Thrills.

Mad Men: Season 2

Thoroughly enjoying this show, even though it's hard to pinpoint why. It's a very relaxed watch which I enjoy. Although Season 2 brought some tasty twists that threw me into a spin, but all in all, I stay for the smooth style, creative industry chat, and R. Stirling zingers.

Rick & Morty: Season 2

After the satisfaction of the first season having lived up to the HUGE amount of hype it got, the second season was a nice continuation of what made the first good. Maybe having lost some of the novelty, but improved by the consistent character development and fresh TAKES.

Game of Thrones: Season 7

Wow. WHAT A SEASON. WHADDASEEZIN. Been great watch this show get better and better and just become the edge of the seat whirlwind that it is. 

GAMES

Horizon Zero Dawn (2017): ★★★★

This game is DOPE. The story, the voice acting, the character design, the graphics. MMMMMM. Fun gameplay AS WELL?! Who knew hunting autonomous machines as a tribeswoman in a post-technology civilisation could be so much FUN? 

Age of Empires II HD (2013): ★★★★

After managing to get multiplayer AoE running on my Macbook, I was a very happy boy. Time passes so fast on this game that I hope to get LAN parties set up in whatever care home I end up in to hasten my final years of life in a way that is very fun.

Catan

I played this game for the first time ever when Beth and I were in Nepal for 5 weeks. We then played around 20 games of it in the remaining few weeks we had left, and nerded out very, very hard. We also both were shamefully sore losers when our settlements just weren't being settled. But what a game. Also when I taught my Mum this game she rolled a 7 so many times in a row she put one of my cards in my glass of beer out of pure fury.

Catan: Cities & Knights

This expansion pack is extreme litness and I will build metropolises until the day I die.

READING

Head Lopper: Vol. 1 - Andrew Maclean 

My first voyage into comics was a very enjoyable one. Having not really been exposed to serious comics when I was younger, this was a big deal, as I found out about Head Lopper through discovering Andrew Maclean's unbelievable illustration. I saw this Norgal character scattered throughout Andrew's Instagram and bought Head Lopper when I realised Andrew did comics. Very enjoyable. Great pace, great lopping of heads, great setting and dialogue. Also helped that a lot of the medieval places were based on places near Stonehaven and Aberdeen, where I'm from. Done good.

Why Fonts Matter - Sarah Hyndman

This book was not bad. I think it was targeted at people who have no education about fonts and type beyond what is normal, i.e. non-designers. Because of this, the perspective of it was fresh and led to some cool insights and unknown things being found out, but mostly it was pretty light and basic stuff. Would recommend to anyone who is interested in type but doesn't know where to start.

LISTENING

Big Baby D.R.A.M. - Big Baby D.R.A.M.: ★★★★

When I first listened to BBD, I put him in the opinion compartment of 'dumb rapper style rappers'. Especially after hearing 'Broccoli' which is what he calls the weed that he sings the whole song about. Then my bro Finlay turned me into his NPR Tiny Desk Concert and my opinion was CHANNGED. Dis boy sing god. He also charmin as a mammajamma. And his dog is on his album art. Best guy.

How to Be A Human Being - Glass Animals: ★★★

Listened to this after seeing they were headlining Electric Fields, a music festival I did attend. Some good tunes. Lyrics are wild but carried through by the lead singer. Although a lot of the songs sound v similar cause of the weird singing style. But aye. Great album art.
