Two Years of Reviews

The year is beginning to wind down and Christmas is just around the corner. I've consumed quite a lot of media this year, from my newfound addiction to anime and the usual domestic shows and video games. Over the next couple of weeks, I'm going to review what I considered to be the best of the best in each genre. Today, I'll start off with movies. I'm going to fudge a little bit and include movies released last year as well, otherwise this would be a really short list.

I didn't love this film, nor did I hate it. It's pretty much the basic tale of how Bruce Banner became the Hulk and how he attempted to cope with it. There's plenty of action to go along with the story and everything flows well. One thing I will pick on, however, was how bad the CGI in this film was.

Fujibayashi Ryou and Furukawa Nagisa from the visual novel/anime CLANNAD (both thouroughly enjoyable).

This is a big step up for me being that there are TWO characters here. I managed to draw this within the same amount of time I generally draw one, so either I cut a lot of corners or I'm getting better. Also, I tried going for a softer style of shading which was, in my opinion, somewhat successful. Hair shading still throws me for a loop, but I'm getting better at everything else.

Characters and such are owned by KEY.
