Blind manby ~MiskatonikaCommentsDevious CommentsI loooooove Lexx!! It's so campy, sexy and awful, all at the same time. Xev is my hero, she doesn't take crap from anybody. I like Stanley because he offers resistance to Xev's strong headed nature, creating all sorts of lovely conflict.
Thank you for taking the time to critique it -- "Typical of hypnosis-induced somnambulism. Must stop this dreadful glidiing among shadows; refocus concentration and thereby restore ego center." Did you notice that Stanley never gets any sex, except weird, unwanted sex, like that time with the robot head... Cai (sp?) is good for a laugh too. I loved the episode where he lay down in the garden to 'decompose'.
I think you accomplished what you set out to do. It's a tribute or a jumping-off point, rather than fan art. -- Stop popping that bubble wrap and check out *ThePurpleNurple Make [your] characters want something right awayeven if its only a glass of water."-- Kurt Vonnegut Jr. Sorry I'm so long in replying! Still working on my personal life so that I can get back to dA and drawing.
The episode with the robot head and his new body is hilarious! I made my husband watch it, because I couldn't stop laughing the first time. I have a crush on Kai. I saw an interview with him in real life, and he's like the cute philosophy professor I never had. He also has great comic timing -- "Typical of hypnosis-induced somnambulism. Must stop this dreadful glidiing among shadows; refocus concentration and thereby restore ego center." Me too!
Lexx is a scream. I'd like to think that some of that comes from the Canadian connections involved in the show. Kai (tres cute) comes across as quite intelligent in an interview and, surprisingly, so does Stan... In Lexx art everything would be alive (even the toilet! Don't think about that for too long). There are recurring bug and hexogon motifs too. -- Stop popping that bubble wrap and check out *ThePurpleNurple Make [your] characters want something right awayeven if its only a glass of water."-- Kurt Vonnegut Jr. There are a lot of Canadians in television I've noticed. If you've ever seen Ginger Snaps (a Canadian werewolf film), the lead actress in that is in almost every American tv show.
I think you have to be moderately intelligent to do comedy. It take so much timing and improvisation to get it right. -- "Typical of hypnosis-induced somnambulism. Must stop this dreadful glidiing among shadows; refocus concentration and thereby restore ego center." Well, I'd have to agree with that whole-heartedly... since I write humour. -- Stop popping that bubble wrap and check out *ThePurpleNurple Make [your] characters want something right awayeven if its only a glass of water."-- Kurt Vonnegut Jr. |
Anyhow this is just fabulous. It's very striking and expressive and interesting to ponder.
The spatter, bleeds and inkwork all come together so well to do what you're asking them to do. This is a very mature piece of work and an exciting new direction for you.
Hey, did you know that I have to write at least 100 words in this box? Not a problem for me, generally, but this piece stands on it's own and needs little but praise.
