tealinFriday's Sketchbook - Drawn after watching Copenhagen. I always regretted missing Copehnagen when it was performed in town recently, so when I heard there was a film adaptation and that it was going to be on TV this Friday, I made sure to watch it.* And:
WOW!
It was fabulous! It was theoretical physics, history, headology, and character interaction all wrapped up in one attractive and compact package! The only elements missing from my mental list of Things That Are Cool were paleoanthropology and plot structure ... okay, and fairy folklore, but it would have been really hard to fit that in. On top of that, it had Stephen Rea (a.k.a. Mr Finch; my drawings are mostly trying to figure out his perpetual cringe) and Daniel Craig (a.k.a. Evil Guy From Road to Perdition) which made it even cooler (and also amusing, for me). By the end, I tell ya, if I were a more demonstrative person I'd have been writhing on the floor in throes of sheer ecstatic wow.
Anyway the sound quality was really horrible (the first thing to go is always the consonants, and they're the most important thing) so I thought I'd check out the DVD, but alas! Neither library system has it. Woe!
*We'll just pretend that I remembered what it was I wanted to watch and didn't just sit down in front of the TV at 8:00 thinking 'I know I need to watch something on Channel 5...' and only remember it was Copehnagen when I saw the promo. I've been busy with work, capiche? Work can be distracting.
SATURDAY'S SKETCHBOOK
Page One - At the bottom are notes for my sister's animation assignment, but on top is evidence that every so often, a slightly less derivative idea will pop into my head, probably lost on its way to someone else's head and asking for directions. Okay, here it is: there's this manatee, right? And, you know, manatees like to kind of ... drift along ... but this one manatee, he wants to go FAST! So um, he starts hanging out with these dolphins but they're all smarter and faster than him ... and that's about as far as I got. If anyone wants to take that and run with it (I'm looking at you,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
disneyboy), you're welcome.
Page Two - A ferret in a top hat and tails, balancing on a ball ... more notes for my sister's [future] animation assignment.
Page Three - A couple of bus people and some attempts at Eli the Barrow Boy, neither of which work well past the shoulders.
Page Four - A bus person and some possible progress on Vorbis.
WOW!

Woo - tough-looking bus people! That sketch of Eli looks different than your typical style! Can't put my finger on it...but I like it! The stuff below the shoulders looks OK to me - maybe you could put him more in mid-step so he'd be more off-balance and a little more dynamic.
Love how you're modeling Vorbis on a bald eagle - very scary, and appropriate (a scavenger that looks like a dangerous predator)! More Brutha sketches? They're adaorable. Like the jolly bus-girl too!
