#65936 Twilight: Love it or Hate it?

Posted by Handy Candy on 02 January 2009 - 04:26 PM in Community Corner

Ugh. Ugh UUuuuuugh.

I wanted to see just how bad these books were, after hearing many rumors, so rather than spend days reading the book, I went to the movie theater and watched the movie.

I have to say it was one of the worst movies I've ever seen (and I've seen a heckuva lot of movies - my mom owned two movie stores when I was a kid). Here we go:

- How exactly do these two characters fall in love? Through brief, awkward, stilted conversations? Stalking? A strong desire to eat one another? Is it cause he randomly saves her life with his uberpowers? They still don't know each other, really. Maybe the book had more to it, but it seems like they just fall in love (or suddenly feel rather murderous/hungry) at first glance (or smell), which is ludicrous. That's not love, that's lust (or hunger).

- Edward is flippin' crazy. No, really. Pattinson said that he didn't really like the books (he felt like he was intruding on a mad woman's personal fantasies when he read it) and felt that Edward was manic-depressive, so that is how he played the him in the movie. Maybe it's just me, but this made his entire performance just that much more erratic, stilted, and awkward. I also don't quite get that sense of him being formal/retaining oldworld charms from the movie. I hope it's more apparent in the books.

- The minor background characters are more interesting and likeable than Edward and Bella combined. I liked Jasper a lot. The way he stared in horror at everything - very funny. The vampire Mommy and Daddy were also quite entertaining. Also, the quieliete wheelchair bound Dad. Really, just about everyone but Edward and Bella were entertaining.

- You can tell that the guy playing Jacob is wearing a wig/weave. It's terrible what they did to the poor kid's head.

- Bella is also flippin' crazy. At the end of the movie, her spastic, seizure-like reaction to Edward suggesting that he leave her is sickening. Maybe this is just bad acting on the actress's part, but this actually made me laugh out loud. Also, when they are sitting in chemistry class, she makes this weird face/tongue movement at Edward that was supposed to make her look like she wanted to say something to him, but instead ends up looking like she's trying to tongue the air. A little disturbing.

- Prom? Really? I know this is taking place in a highschool, but this is sooooo over the top, mushy crap. And the other boys trying to ask her to Prom is kinda 'eh' too. Why even bother with it in the movie if you're not really going to develop that plot line? It seemed like an after thought that was kinda tossed in for good measure, and because it was in the books. But, they could have spent more time actually developing some kind of romance between Edward and Bella instead of trying to have a whole gang of boys ask the new girl to the prom.

Oddly enough, the sparkles don't bother me. I like sparkles, though, so I'm biased. The baseball part was entertaining as well for the very small amount of time that it was on the screen. Quieliete werewolves, I am also cool with. The movie as a whole was awkward and poorly paced. It probably could have been good, but it was just so lacking. It didn't even feel like all the parts fitted together right. Also, after reading the wiki articles about the rest of the books in the series, I felt more disturbed. How come a girl who is apparently very independent, if a bit detached, turns into a suicidal moron whose existence depends on some impossibly perfect vampire? A hardened embryonic sack that has to be bitten through to get a baby out? Jacob is in love with her too? Ughhh.

BUT this beautiful art makes up for it :P


It was more a commission than fanart XD; I've never played the game. But I don't really play a lot of games, haha.

Last few new things I'll have up for a while :lol: My scanner broke on me. I'm taking commissions to raise for a new one. You can find info here: commission journal if you're interested. X3



#65217 Super Sonic Sculpt

Posted by Handy Candy on 07 December 2008 - 01:40 AM in Artwork

Woo :lol: That looks super cool! I guess it's free-standing? It must be hard to get it to be free standing. Legs and joints tend to crack over time with sculpey @_@ So if it comes out good after baking, maybe making a mold and a sturdy resin version of the figurine will be longer lasting.

Maybe instead of everyone sending Lynne their books to get signed, Lynne can offer signed book plates? :3 They're like tiny postcards with art that you glue into your book. They used to be for putting your name on (and are also called ex libris) but some people offer them when you buy their books now. XD

Posted by Handy Candy on 13 September 2008 - 05:16 PM in Artwork

I should really consider attending this AWA... thing...
Anyhoo, do you do requests? With your impressive talent I think you could make some astonishing work based off Folklore :)

I can understand that I would be no less than astonished that you could make aff of these products and still have time on your hands lol

buuut if you do decide to look into Folklore here's a trailer
*sorry I couldn't resist*


Ahh, I definitely don't do requests, sorry. XD I'm too busy with commissions and my own published/paid projects that keep me from starving to do requests, lol.



#62799 Handy Arts :D

Posted by Handy Candy on 12 September 2008 - 05:45 PM in Artwork

I have to say impressive work... I don't often see much art of the same style (then again I don't know any goths :) ) allot of variety too... that comic reminds me very much of the game Folklore. I am looking forward to the comic the most because I want to see how your creativity plays out.
Your work is astonishing I eagerly await more. :D

-EDiTED- *decided not to drag Folklore for the PS3 into this*


Ah. I've never heard of this Folklore game, but to tell the truth I don't really play a lot of games. XD But thank you for the kind comments.

And here is a preview of the commission keychains I've been working on

Mm...depending on how Ka-Blam works out, maybe you should try Comixpress.com? That's the place I always use ;) I've heard some good things about ka-blam, but bad things too (they're going through growing pains, I suppose). Comixpress has always gotten my stuff done on time, and if they happen to run into a problem they rush ship my order and get it there just on time (with ten free copies for my trouble!).
