The NAACP and Feeling Dismissed. [04 Aug 2009|12:12pm]
http://community.livejournal.com/racebending/tag/contacts <--- So I saw this post recently while following the whole Avatar Racebending community and I really, really wanted to go write a letter to the NAACP like they suggested.

Unfortunately, I also felt like even if I did, my letter wouldn't be seen as significant as a letter written by a person of any other ethnicity writing to the NAACP.  I mean, it's one thing if a white, black, hispanic, etc writes a letter complaining about how asians and much of asian culture is being whitewashed out of the Airbender movie.  It's another thing if an asian writes a letter complaining about how asians and much of asian culture is being whitewashed out of the Airbender movie.

People tend to view someone of a certain ethnicity supporting other members of their ethnicity as someone who's sort of looking out only for members of their own race.

For example, if something racist happens to a black guy and the black community gets all up in arms over it  - you bet there will be people thinking that the black community is just being 'oversensitive' or 'only getting mad 'cause it happened to a black guy'.

It's different if something racist happens to a black guy and a large diverse group made up of many different ethnicities gets all up in arms over it - then more people tend to like the issue is more significant then it appears simply because not only are the African Americans getting upset about it - everyone is. 

I suppose I'll write a letter to the NAACP anyway, but I hate the feeling that the individual reading it may not take it as seriously as the others.  Maybe I'm just being retarded.

Okay, I think I speak for a lot of Anti-casters when I say that this whole thing is getting to be really annoying. Everyday, we have to argue with new Pro-casters about such obvious things dealing with the show. We have to post the same things over and over and over again. Quite frankly, it gets really annoying. And, we come off as mean and rude because we are annoyed of saying the same thing over and over again. So, I decided, for my personal use, and for anyone else's, to make a collection of proof of Avatar's Asian influences. Instead of arguing over and over again with new Pro-casters, I'm just going to link them to this thread. Please feel free to add anything to this list by replying. Anything, from links to quotes from the creators.

Quotes from the Creators

Well, Bryan had worked with Eric Coleman, the head of development at Nickelodeon, and we knew that Nickelodeon was looking for a [particular fantasy] kind of show, so we kind of took that directive and set about creating our own mythology. And we wanted to base it in Asian rather than European background, and use the elements; to use martial arts as kind of the basis for the magic in the show… even though we don't call it "magic," it is the supernatural element of the show.

"The best anime balances great action sequences with humor and emotion, something we try to do on Avatar. We love all the films of Hayao Miyazaki, especially Spirited Away and Princess Mononoke. Both movies deal with spirituality and the environment in an entertaining way. Also, there's a lot of great animation."

"Asian cinema is really good at action comedy. Shaolin Soccer is one of our favorite movies. It has tons of fantastic action and lots of funny moments. Some of the effects provided inspiration for how bending moves might look on the show."

"Actually, Katara's like, hair loops, the hair loopies... They used to hang down, uh, just loosely and [animation director] thought that would be too hard to animate. And, um, thought they'd be moving around too much. So, he had the idea to tie them back, which actually ended up being an authentic Inuit hairstyle."

"Yeah, early on… Mike and I just bought dozens of books. You know, learning kung fu, hands-on, and not just copying stuff out of a movie, we really, really wanted to understand it. And you know, there's so much to learn, we're still researching, all of the really rich cultures and proud traditions, and so, we're just trying to pay homage."

You know Bumi lived over 100 years. We had kind of set it up. It's not so foreign in Chinese mythology to have like the Taoist immortals, these characters or legendary figures who lived 500-600 years. It wasn't one of the earliest ideas we had, but pretty early on Mike and I were of the idea that these people with such enhanced Chi fields might live a longer time. We've shown that Kyoshi was a pretty robust person."

"It's an ancient city and it's definitely been very cut off from the rest of the Earth Kingdom throughout the ages. It's kinda based on Chinese History. How the Forbidden City was off on its own and the Emperor wouldn't leave there...the safety of their kingdom...very often. It was also an interesting idea that a kid could be raised in this super confined area and never have seen the outside world. So yeah, Ba Sing Se's isolation is a tradition that's gone back for a looong time. "

"Ozai is not like some kind of palace dweller. We will say that. I'm not sure how much he's ventured out into the world, but he's not like the Earth King where he's isolated. The Fire Nation is a little more 'hands on'. It's not uncommon that you will have to fight or duel for political or military positions or purposes. There's a big difference. I think in the Fire Nation, unlike in Ba Sing Se, if there's a prince who's 30 years old, he's probably fought pretty intensely a few times. Had to prove his worth. Not unlike Japanese Samurai in their day. They had to make a name for themselves, they had to have some fame..."

"If you look back on the great swordmasters of Asian history, a lot of them were artists, poets, masters of tea ceremony, actors, and the like."

"The Blue Spirit mask in our real world is a wizard mask in Chinese opera. We used the traditional design almost verbatim, except for coloration differences which we took upon ourselves."

"Now I'm hearing people are so surprised that a caucasian kid was cast as the Asian lead?

SHOCKING NEWS!!

Kindda like the Kung Fu TV Series when David Carradine beat out Bruce Lee for the lead. I mean goodness we all know David Carradine. was by far superior in the martial arts compared to Bruce Lee, go figure"
  • -Sifu Kisu

This will probably be the coolest movie I will never see.
  • -Sifu Kisu

Well when I first saw the trailer I got excited because the special effects looked great (barring the ((less than polished)) martial arts staff sequence which I overlooked with sympathy 'cause I told them "how" to make it right and apparently the martial art is not priority...) the more I hear about elements related to the film, the fact the guy lies about the silliest things, the race issue (sad) all puts it way on the back burner of my movie go see list.
  • -Sifu Kisu

Well first I would have trained the boy for an extended period of time in the BASICS of Martial which is the biggest problem I have in watching it he hasn't internalized them. As far as what I would have choreographed? If you are a fan of the series then you already know....
  • -Sifu Kisu

Trust me they are seeing how the fans react but Nick Animation, Bryan and Mike HAD NO SAY IN HOW THE FILM WAS CAST so please give those guys a break. It is quite apparent what their casting choices would have been from the 7 years of work they put into the animated series.
If you see them don't give them a hard time please

2005 interview with Bryan and Mike:

hp?articleID=841&document =2
Worth quoting from Bryan: "Yeah, early on… Mike and I just bought dozens of books. You know, learning kung fu, hands-on, and not just copying stuff out of a movie, we really, really wanted to understand it. And you know, there's so much to learn, we're still researching, all of the really rich cultures and proud traditions, and so, we're just trying to pay homage."

Sifu Kisu referencing his son to the Asian Look of Aang:
Post#265 http://www.kungfumagazine.com/forum/showthread.php

The following interviews are all found on ASN. There are others, but I focused on Bryan and Mike's interviews only...

Bust Commissions! [CLOSED] [28 May 2009|01:14pm]


Edit: COMMISSIONS CLOSED! ALL SLOTS HAVE BEEN BOUGHT!





----------------------------------------------


I am desperate to get a new Wacom Tablet. I don't normally do commissions lately, but I will draw $25 bust portraits (shoulders and head) for 15 people in the same style as I did my recent 'Bodyguard' comic. Smooth painterly faces and graphic stylized hair. If you prefer, I can also go full-on with the graphic style and make the flesh cel-shaded looking as well.

Unfortunately, because I don't have a tablet right now, you will have to pay me first so I can buy the tablet, and once I have it I will immediately begin work on the busts.

If you have no idea what my 'Bodyguard' comic looks like, here are four pages. I can't show one of them because it has bewbs and photobucket doesn't like bewbs:

Click me! )


Well, okay, but what if you can't find 15 people willing to pay you 25$?

What I will do is display a list from 1-15 online and no one will pay anything until we reach offer number 15. This will ensure that the quota is met before anyone pulls out their wallets. If it turns out that some folks back out or don't pay at the very last second, I will either refund everyone their money or bite the bullet and pay of the rest of the difference depending on how many people bailed out.

How would I be paying you anyway?

I has a Paypal account! We can work things out through that. :3

Let's say you DO reach offer number 15 and buy the tablet. What happens then?

I start working on the commissions in the order that they were offered to me. I will make a rough sketch of your character's head and send it to you for approval. If I get your approval, I move right along to the fun coloring stage. If you don't approve and want changes, I'll redo the sketch with the changes you suggested and show it to you again.

I will only go through the approve/change process a maximum of 3 times (so we don't get stuck fiddling over the image forever), so if you don't like what you see, please try to examine the image carefully and pin-point exactly what bothers you about the picture rather then saying "I don't like it, but I'm not sure why." This will just turn Luri into a sad, sad panda.

Once the bust is done, I'll send it over for final approval. This is when you can ask me to do a few minor tweaks that you'd like to see. Once the final tweaks are done, I send you a web-version and a ginormously huge high-rez version so you can make an 8.5 x 11 print of your bust later on if you'd like.

I'd make prints of the busts myself, but I haven't found a print shop in the area yet that won't charge me an absurd amount, which would just make the costs of your commissions painfully high.

I'm interested! What do I do?

Send me an e-mail (Lurial at gmail.com) with a description of your character's physical appearance, personality, any references you might have of how they look, sometimes brief backstories can be spiffy too.

If you have an exact vision in mind for your bust, you can also tell me specifics on how you'd like it to look, like the angle of their head, their facial expression, background color, etc. Conversely, if you'd like to leave it all up to me to make up based upon the information you gave me on your character, that's fine too.

Where in the US Govt Gives Luri More Reasons to Be Canadian [26 May 2009|10:03pm]
When the Federal Reserve Inspector General has no idea what the hell happened to the TRILLIONS of dollars the Federal Reserve gave out or spent in the past few months, during one of the worst economic situations of our time, that kinda freaks a person out a little.



Also, does anyone who understands politics, law, and monies more then me know if this H.R.1207 thing is a good idea? I admittedly don't know enough about how everything works to be all "Yeah, we should do this awesome!!!"

Dragon Ball Z Abridged [25 Apr 2009|10:11am]
HILARIOUS parody that my friend linked to me. A crew of people basically took the DBZ plot, shortened a typical episode from 30 minutes to 8, and redubbed it to be more awesome. I enjoy this WAY more then the actual show and it's kind of amusing that sometimes the abridged parody seems to take itself seriously for a moment before dropping in hilarious things like a "Krillin Owned Count" It's particularly awesome if you've actually seen the source material.

They do a mind-bogglingly good voice acting job too! Especially the guy who VA's Vegeta. Sounds EXACTLY like the official english dub Vegeta. <_<; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lj9IdUR7qaw

Tavernites and World of Warcraft! [03 Apr 2009|12:43pm]
HAY GUYS!

How many of the ye olde Sword and Serpent Crew play WoW?

Chai rolled up an alt on my server and we've been reminiscing about the old days in a way that is quite spiff! We've been wondering if:

1) There are any Tavnery folks who are interested in playing WoW but haven't picked it up yet.

If so, GO GET THE GAME and roll on the Cenarion Circle Roleplaying server. :D

2) There are any Tavnery folks who are currently playing WoW and can access the American Servers.

If so, roll up an alt on Cenarion Circle! Even if it's just to visit! ;_;

I has a guild there and there is this one particular empty tavern that just sits there with no NPCs in it. We could totally hijack it into a Sword and Serpent Shindig spot.

Watching the Watchmen [26 Mar 2009|06:53pm]
I figured I'd better get this in before Kyle/Prise starts posting his own thoughts and then puts words in my mouth, like the jerkface he is.

>:|

Anyways, the movie was awesome.  As someone who never read the comic, but had the movie hyped up for me by a ton of buddies who HAD read the comic, I didn't leave the theater disappointed.  Lots of action, great story, fantastic twists, beautiful visual effects, and elaborate characters. I really loved RorschachCrazy guy, but man he was my favorite character out of all the folks in the whole movie.  If the comic is better then this movie, then hot damn, I need to pick up the comic sometime soon.

And of course, it also helped that Silk Spectre was totally hot. <.<;  *Cough*

One thing bothers me a little though after watching the movie.  When the whole film was done, I couldn't help but start thinking:  "Why the hell were people freaking out and getting all riled up over Dr. Manhattan's blue piping?"

With the way people were talking about it in almost every single review about how horrible and unnecessary it was, (one critic even said that if she saw it 'one more time' she was going to go running away from the theater screaming) I was walking into the movie thinking I'd see nothing but giant blue phalluses everywhere, offending my delicate sensibilities and making my monocle fall out of place. 

Folks, I BARELY even noticed the wang was there.  Kyle/Prise says the wang appears four times in the movie (which made me wonder why he was counting how many times the blue penis appeared <_<....) and seeing a barely visible blue phallus in four scenes out of a three hour long movie really doesn't strike me as a reason to go "OMG BLUE PENSIES WERE EVERYWHERE. YOU CANNOT EVADE THEM.  IT'S JUST THERE. WIGGLING. ALL OVER THE MOVIE." (Note: Someone actually said something like this to me)

Maybe I'm just desensitised because I have figure drawing classes every week where I'm exposed to nekkid bodies for 6 hours, but I personally found the sex scenes and the heavy gore in the movie FAR more shocking then Dr. Manhattan in the buff.  ( I wasn't offended mind you, just surprised.)  But no one ever mentions the softcore-porn/"hey-it's-raining-blood-and-intestines-cause-someone-just-got-combusted" as something of note!  At least not to me.  It boggled my mind that people were way too busy flippin' out over blue wang when you pretty much have
exploding people and a mini-porno in the film. 

The sex-scene was the most blatant one I've ever seen in a movie to date and people are being COMBUSTED into tiny bloody specs and smears with their innards plastered all over other people ... but critics decided they were way more stunned and offended by a penis?

Dear fellow movie-goers, I feel I should remind you that penises are a normal part of life (well, not blue ones, but you get the idea).  It's how you were BORN.  All men have one!  It's a natural part of the male human body.  Some guys might actually see theirs every day.  Penises (and sex itself for that matter) are a far more normal and natural part of our lives then wild gory violence.  It really boggles my mind that people want to run away from the theater because they caught a glimpse of an imaginary blue wang, but have no problems seeing human beings exploding into ribbons of gore and red pulp.

Some People Fail At Being Proper Death Knights [22 Mar 2009|09:37am]


This is Sythael, my Death Knight from WoW. He runs around with a massive floppy hat, a ridiculously long scarf, and has a habit of raising small armies of undead bunnies and kittens. He also used to (and secretly still does) want to be a paladin. Some people just weren't meant to be death knights.

Also:



The new banner for my guild's website makes me happy for some reason. I think I'm just falling in love with the scratchboard tool and want to make a whole bloody comic with it. >.>;

Avatar's cast is WHITE? [19 Mar 2009|11:54pm]
Okay, I normally don't really give a damn about casting and films because I'm all over a good story, but lately I'm starting to get more then a little annoyed with the movie industry's choices regarding casting Asians. I like to think it's not because I'm being oversensitive due to my own race, but simply because... well...

...Come ON people, you have an ALL-CAUCASIAN CAST for AVATAR THE AIRBENDER and DRAGONBALL Z!

Keep in mind, I obviously have nothing against caucasians acting as I love movies and watch them all the time.

But those two cartoons are just about as far away from European culture as you can get! Avatar is clearly a mix of various Asian and Inuit cultures! In one episode you see a bunch of folks wearing Korean Hanboks - COMPLETELY unaltered! I was able to recognize them! And they mention food that I KNOW the names of and recognized in the cartoon!

And yet all the roles are just going to Caucasians because Hollywood is too scared to put another race up in the main cast. Jeez!

I mean, come on, can you REALLY see Sokka and Kiara as Eurpoeans with a tan in Inuit outfits and call it believable? Or Toff as this tiny Cacuasian girl with dyed black hair? Really?

There She Is! [15 Mar 2009|03:26am]
These are really cute, somewhat old Flash Animations about a Bunny who is in love with a Cat. It's made by a bunch of Korean folks so you probably won't understand the singing in the background, but they do have English Versions where the Korean Text in the animation is replaced by English text.

For something so adorable and light, it has a lot of interesting subtext about interracial relationships, and I really liked it. Thus I thought I might share.

Annual Art Dump. [21 Feb 2009|11:16pm]
Yep, I know, I rarely visit LJ anymore. Every so often I poke my head back here to see what's up, but I never say much. I guess I've realised over the years that venting about my problems never really helped me much, which is mostly what I used LJ for in the past. I'm also terrible at informing people of what's been going down in my life. So instead I let people know what's going on in my life by dumping craploads of artwork on here.

It probably gives you a pretty decent idea of what I've been doing anyways.

----------------------------------
Naked people are a staple of Art Schools.

But I finally got a Clothed Figure Drawing Class. I got to make up this girl from scratch and slap some clothing on her. I wish I could've done better with the line quality though. And made her look sexier to magnify the pin-up-girl vibe.



Ironically, I had to draw a bunch of people naked first before I got to pick which one to put clothes on.

=====================================

Flour Sack People: This one of those homework assignments that make me die a little on the inside and hope that it's all worth it in the end. If you imagine little bugs spilling out of the seams, you can pretend they're relatives of Oogie Boogie.

Angel Sack

Rest of the Sack Doods )
=======================================

I am now a leet sculptor, yo! (Actually, all my projects prior to this one sucked ass, but at least this guy came out decently.)

Fun Fact: I used pictures of the Final Fantasy Dudes as reference. Because deep down, as much as I hate myself for it, I still think they look badass. Damn you Final Fantasy! ::Shakes fist::



Other Shots of Mikhail's head )
If you're curious, that's supposed to be the head of this guy: DeviantArt HOOOO!

Full Body Mikhail

============================================

I'm a massive nerd and lead an RP Guild on WoW.

And I inevitably made artwork for my character/guild/etc. And yes, I have a nelf huntress. It's okay to point and laugh.




Second Page of Lame Comic and Other WoW-Related Stuff )

So I got a little Perspective on things.

Writer's Block: Jackpot [21 Feb 2009|10:30pm]

I'd pay for my best friend's health insurance + part of her college tuition. Pay for my other friend's college tuition so she wouldn't be stuck in the shithole scam-college she got trapped in. Then I'd give half of whatever's left to my mother for putting up with me for 23 years and use the remainder to form an Awesome Company of Awesomeness.

I'd then give jobs to all the rest of my friends who are unemployed because of the shitty economy hope the company does well enough for all of us to make a living.

Jem - Save me [21 Feb 2009|10:25pm]
Totally the Theme Song of My Adult Life. It sounds kinda emo in the lyrics, but it's mostly about me being a chronic worry-wart and stressing out over details that I don't really have control over. :p

----------------
http://www.imeem.com/jadedfaithe/music/tjv9lxb3/jem_save_me/

Save me save me save me wooh

I've gotta stop my mind
Working overtime
It's driving me insane
It will not let me live
Always so negative
It's become my enemy

Save me ah ah save me ah ah
Save me ah wooh
Save me ah ah save me ah ah
Save me ah wooh

Why would I think such things
Crazy thoughts have quick wings
Gaining momentum fast
One minute I am fine
The next I've lost my mind
To a fake fantasy

And none of these
Thoughts are real
So why is it that I feel
So cut up and so bad
I need to take control
Coz my mind is on a roll
And it isn't listening to me

Save me ah ah save me ah ah
Save me ah wooh
(thinking and thinking)
Save me ah ah save me ah ah
Save me ah wooh
(thinking and thinking)

Mirror mirror on the wall
Who's the dumbest of them all
Insecurities keep growing
Wasted energies are flowing
Anger, pain and sadness beckon
Panic sets in in a second
Be aware it's just your mind
And you can stop it anytime

Save me ah ah save me ah ah

Mister ROGERS?! [04 Oct 2008|01:35am]
So apparently Fox News Network attempted to make a smear campaign in 2007.

...OF MISTER ROGERS.

WTF?

Of all the people they could possibly attempt to drag through the mud... MISTER ROGERS?!  He filled my childhood with happy warm fun times of happiness while educating me about all sorts of things! This calls for frickin' war man.

Also CNN is far better then Fox: http://www.cnn.com/2008/LIVING/wayoflife/07/28/mf.mrrogers.neighbor/index.html
