i took a break to watch wim wenders (because you never can have too much wim) ~ and then got into a long phone conversation and so my output tonight is meager at best thus far (though the night is young, i say!)

nevertheless, here's the sepia version of the same panel. the scan isn't very good (loses a lot of the nuance of the color and some of the details got washed out), but i'm liking it okay otherwise. the color is slick and the digital paint is awfully smooth, but something about being able to see the brush strokes feel familiar and comforting to me and that's something i can't reproduce in digital.



anyway, that's two of the six panels on that particular headache of a page. if i finish the other three, i can move on to new stuff! (hey, any incentive in a storm).

~ and lobster this weekend is definitely out. my dog sitter is going camping ~ that, as they say, is that.

...I'm curious about Wim Wenders. The first time I heard about him was through reading U2 things. I know he's a filmmaker, but what sort of films has he produced? I think I read that a film of his inspired the movie "City of Angels", but I might be remembering things wrong. *^^*;;

Ahh! Lovely panels! *saves them!* XD ...err, I mean, can I? *^^*;;

Wim Wenders (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000694/?fr=c2l0ZT1kZnx0dD0xfGZiPXV8cG49MHxrdz0xfHE9d2ltIHdlbmRlcnN8ZnQ9MXxteD0yMHxsbT01MDB8Y289MXxodG1sPTF8bm09MQ__;fc=1;ft=21;fm=1) < ~ ist wünderbar!

yes, they made City of Angels sort of based on his idea in Wings of Desire, but (in my not-so-humble opinion) City of Angels was an amazing turd of an homage compared to the original. i have no idea what the director was thinking with that drek.

Wings of Desire is an amazing film: life affirming, beautiful, and without being corny or sentimental. The sequel Faraway, So Close! doesn't take itself quite as seriously, but is a wonderful romp worthy of being called a sequel. City of Angels basically strips all of the charm and appeal of what makes the Wender films so amazing and you're left with treacle and moody whining.

and there you have it and there it is.
