Thoughts on the Soundtracks


I'm going to give just a few opinions on the soundtracks. This may include spoilers, so I'll use a read more. Please, those of you who are musically talented (which I am sure pretty much ALL of you would know your music better than me), be merciful to me! I'm just gonna try and give an opinion.

httyd TWO!


I have now seen HTTYD2 six times in theaters.

That is twice as many times as I saw the first one.

I saw it twice in 2D

Twice in 3D

And twice in glorious IMAX 3D!

I saw it twice with my younger brother.

I saw it twice with an amazing HTTYD fan (Rimajustoffravenpoint)

So the question becomes: Is HTTYD2 twice as good?

No. I'm just twice as smart as I was four years ago!!

Gorgeous Character Dilemma


Alright! I'm home from my trip, so that probably means I'll be posting with a little more frequency. Considering it has been quite a few weeks since HTTYD2, I've had a little bit more time to delve into it and pull out blog worthy thoughts. One tricky thing is that I lack images! I love posting pics at the tops of posts, but as of now, we lack images of some of the most important moments in the second film! I guess we'll just have to suffer until the movie comes out on DVD. This does discuss the second film. It won't be too spoilery, but I'm still gonna put it on a "read more". Click that read more to see the whole post.

Happy Birthday Toothlesslove!


So, this is my birthday gift for the amazing HTTYD fan and one of my best friends, Toothlesslove. She had asked for something with Love as the theme, and I felt that with both movies put together, HTTYD has really displayed some really beautiful truths concerning love. So, I tried to grasp that by doing a lot of images. I don't know how well I did... this art style is very new for me. I tried to make it look like water color, so there is a lot less emphasis on the details and more weight given to light and form.  It really is hard to do! I went with very simple font, and then I made each circular image grow as the set of images goes along. I was surprised to find out how difficult it was to paint this way. So, I hope she likes it, and I hope you enjoy it too.

It's been a MONTH!


Can you believe it?! It's been a whole month since I first saw HTTYD2! Boy, one month ago I was so excited, there was so much I didn't know, and I came out of the theater feeling SO different than when I went in! I love the film, I've seen it five times total (sadly, I worry that that may be all the times I get to go...), and it's been a tear-filled joy one every single occasion. I've never left upset that I went to go and see it, and I've yet to feel bored. It truly is a massively good film, and now it's been a month since I first saw it!

Alpha Challenger: Graphic Tee

Welovefine is having another tee shirt designing contest! Though I have very, very little hope of winning or even placing, I have made one design. It sort of contains a spoiler so if you haven't seen HTTYD2, I wouldn't read this post. If you have, please click the "read more" to see my art work.
