Process Of My Latest Drawing From Very Quick Sketch To Shading And Line Work. I Am Trying To Get Back

what's so great about the mummy 1999?

are you ready for this? 

it is the most wonderfully made, historically inaccurate, giddily fun, perfectly paced, goofy horror movie romance novel bullshit bonanza that has ever blessed the silver screen.

i mean it is just so beautifully full of every genre without being overwhelming.we’ve got: comedy, action, suspense, horror, romance, adventure, ancient aesthetics, and it’s a period piece. all perfectly balanced and blended into one movie.

and the characters are so LIT

we got our main babe, evelyn “motherfucking” carnahan, a super-klutz librarian, total history nerd, and certified badass/damsel in distress. she raises the dead on accident, because she cannot resist books, and has the guts to put that motherfucker back where he came from and literally saves the world.evie’s greatest hits: 

“what is a place like me, doing in a girl like this?!”

*after totally destroying the library* “i’ve just made a bit of a mess in the library.”

“no harm ever came from reading a book.”

evelyn: *upon opening the tomb* “i’ve dreamt about this since i was a little girl.”rick: “you dream about dead guys?”

“oops.”

then we’ve got rick “brendan fraser” o’connell, your not-so-typical battle hardened gun slinger with a heart of gold. he seems filthy, rude, and a complete scoundrel at first, but then he turns into a literal puppy, with massive heart eyes, that worships the ground evie walks on.rick’s greatest hits:

*screams at mummy*

*screams at sand*

*screams at things that are illogical to scream at*

*screams*

next is our Comedic Relief Character™, jonathan carnahan, who also rises above his trope. he’s there for the laugh sure, but is never useless. he actively helps to move the plot along and isn’t just there. he also is the farthest thing from brainless and annoying.jonathan’s greatest hits:

evelyn: “have you no respect for the dead?”jonathan: “of course i do, but sometimes i’d rather like to join them.” same.

oh and that time he was like “IMHOTEP” and saved his own ass like that was so smooth, y’all know what i’m talking about right??

then there is ardeth BAE. he is the audience rolling his eyes because *sighs* white people. he’s tired of these motherfucking mummies in this motherfucking desert. literally prettier than everyone.(he has a much bigger role in the mummy returns, but is still so fab here)

and of course THE MUMMY. imhotep. actual emo. literally carved some poetry into the back of his sarcophagus when he was buried alive with flesh eating bugs, because he is that Extra™. just wants to bring his girlfriend back to life so he can make out with her without it being treason. 

and all the side characters are also gr8.

now i wanna take a moment to talk about the romance. because it is so BEAUTIFUL. like usually in action movies it’s macho man undermines girl and they bone. not here. no time for that shit. 

rick and evie have such a great relationship based on mutual respect and affection. they both cater to each other’s strengths and cover each other’s weaknesses. they are the literally definition of: “those two. in a fight, they’re lethal. around each other, they melt”

what else, i could literally talk about this movie all day.

the special effects have held up pretty well.the music score is GORGEOUS.the costumes are amazing.the makeup, especially for anck su namun, OH WOW.the george of the jungle era brendan fraser sign me the fuck up.rachel weisz.

so many good things.

it’s just great.

#i secretly rate every action movie from 0 to the mummy

it’s a beautiful mess of a movie that can be enjoyed by people of all ages and transcends time and posterity as the alpha mummy movie, and to those who disagree i beseech you:

This one was a popular demand. Many people people asked me about anatomy tips.

I know how hard this topic is and how confusing at the beginning. It’s just so much to learn! Exactly! I remember how lost I was in the beginning and trying out things that actually didn’t help me understand anatomy better.

Actually what I want to convey here is that you can learn to draw human without learning all the muscles and bones. My personal opinion, based on experience is actually that you can do that as something extra. Learning muscles and bones won’t help you draw. True story. 

If you grasps few essential concepts first you will be better off, plus you will be actually drawing characters. You will be more confident in your lines and gain knowledge that will be enough to create artwork you want. 

Look at body as any other object you want to draw. Simplifying and remembering the simplest ideas is way to go. 

Remember: these few ideas I am presenting are just a tip of an iceberg. As you will progress you will expand your knowledge beyond few essential points.

This is my personal approach so I can’t say it will work for you. I know that it works for me

Hope you like it!

Wanted to try out some new makers and wanted to draw my favorite character, didn't turn out too bad. Could be better.

Gen:lock Idea

Just an idea that won't go away until I write it down. Not the best but here it goes.

This is an AU where somehow before Weller could bring is idea to Holcroft and the Polity he got captured by the Union. And everyone being younger as well. When finding his Gen:lock work, the Union found it interesting and made sure to weaponize it.

Since Gen:lock relied on the neurons of a young body the Union made sure to include children in the recruitment list. Which lead him to find everybody (including Leon) easier.

- Chase and team would be the range of 10 to let teen. Not even at their 20's.

Then came the experimenting, this leading to Chase's and Leon's physical problems. But eventually leading up to the children being able to fight (excluding Cammie, she is still too young even by Union standard)

When the Union was planning to finally attack New York, Weller knew he needed to get everybody out of there. The was no doubt that the Union would put even greater pressure to get Gen:lock field ready no matter what happened at the battle in New York. And Weller could no longer see his kids be suffer for progress of what was once his dream turned nightmare.

He was finally able to contact the Polity, and basically held himself hostage when they only wanted to retrieve him alone. But he would never leave his kids.

The day before the Battle of New York, Polity soldiers waited outside of some of the exits of the research facility. Waiting for their objectives to arrive.

Dr. Weller prepares his kids to be separated. The talks to them about the Polity and reassuring that they will meet again, somewhere where it was safe.

The kids are split like so:

- Valentina, Kazu, and Cammie

- Yaz and Chase

- Weller, Leon, and Sinclair

Valentina and Kazu make an excuse to leave the building, while Cammie is screaming and crying about a nightmare, to calm Cammie.

Yaz and Chase sneak out from the sleep guards.

Weller and and the rest just says he needs to check something and bam everyone is out.

It's only when they are running across the field does the Union finally realize their attempt to escape. They give chase only to find three hovercraft getting air and flying away.

That's all I have so far, but my brain wants to finish but I can't and I am not a writer by any means but this just wouldn't get out of my head. But I feel better now.
