Because this was a really good match, but is that really the theme Gabriel had at MitB? That sounded so weird and as if editted in.

Yeah, that was his theme originally before Otunga and McGillicutty got it for some weird reason. Even weirder now is hearing Cody's old theme, Bryan's unremixed Valkryies, Barrett's old theme, and seeing Kane unmasked.

Hey Joe, how do you learn how to draw? Let me guess: "practice", right? But how do you practice; like what do you draw to practice? I want to take drawing seriously but I'm not sure where to start.

If you're really serious about learning how to draw, take life drawing for 5 years and see where you end up. It's the only way to figure out how to draw at a high level and it seeps into every thing from photography to storyboarding to comic books to whatever. It's more than just learning how to draw naked people.

[CustomJoeyV]

Do I draw the penis?

Has anyone ever gotten in trouble for censoring their art like that? Like adding a leaf or something to cover the genitalia in a piece of art for a class. Being expressionism, I'd find it to really be in poor taste if one would get in trouble for expression their views in their art (when they're creating something, of course).

I mean, it's not the same as say a musician in an orchestra of 50+ people, right?

Practice is a big part considering I've been, at the very least, doodling since I was 2. I also went to Art school (The Art Institute of Dallas) for 3 years where, among other classes, I took cartooning, animation, and 3 life drawing classes. Honestly I wish I could take more. My drawing skill are no where near as good as I would like them to be. That being said my work has infinitely improved since college so if you're serious about it I would recommend art school.

Yes, you do indeed draw the penis. After the initial shock of it all, being in a room with a naked person becomes no big deal. It's just like a sculpture you're drawing. I don't think you would ever "get in trouble" for that unless you're just drawing a vase with flowers and you're adding a penis to it. Then you just look like an immature idiot, but given the strange way the art community works I'm sure there is an audience for that kind of thing. I guess as long as you display it in a place that wants there is no harm. If you have a painting of a dozen penises and you nail it to the wall of a children's hospital without permission you might get in trouble, but I don't know that from experience.

Speaking of penises, here is a disturbing story. In my life drawing class we used 3 models. A husky pale woman, a tattooed fit guy with a huge pierced dong, and an old guy. We had the old guy more often. He was pale, flabby, and his genitals looked like a shaved albino rat with a marshmallow in his mouth. We all really thought there was something wrong with it, as not being gay and only seeing them in porn, we had never seen anything like that. I would post the sketches, but I'm sure you get the visual.

How's that for a artsy penis story?

Bryan's unremixed Valkryies

Still love this.

I don't, that version there sounds like it was done with synthesized voices. The one he had earlier that year with real instrument voices was far better.


And Wade's theme here was great. I can't believe that one stupid Corre theme had so many iterations of being absolute shit, then the moment they finally make a good mix for it that fits both a wrestling theme, a rebel character like Barret and an exciting sound.........they get rid of it for one of the worst songs you could use as a theme song anywhere.

I actually agree 100%; I haven't watched more than 3-4 SD! episodes since September, so when Barrett came out at the Rumble with that silly ass theme I facepalmed for a minute and my very first thought became:

Well ... here goes any chance of being a maineventer.

After this Sunday he will stand tall

SIXERS UP IN THIS!

[CustomJoeyV]

Josh Smith gonna Josh Smith.

The Hawks have to explode, and it sucks that the guy they're going to keep no matter what is JJ. Josh Smith's a talent that a team like Orlando would need to become a dynasty (lolbutneverwillhappensincedwightisleavinglol sad_face) and Horford is the best player on the floor for Atlanta. But, nope, one or both of those guys are gone.

So the East is set, how confident are you of your 76'ers chances against the Retirement Celtics?

So I'm rewatching the Spectacular Spider-Man cartoon. What an awesome cartoon, and easily the best Spider-Man one out there.

Spectacular Spider-Man was a step forward from the 90's Spider-Man which was also great. I saw some clips from the new Ultimate Spider-Man and it looks terrible. I mean the animation looks good, but the writing seems like it's directed at 5 year olds and lacks the cleverness of the previous two series.

[MrMITB]

but the writing seems like it's directed at 5 year olds

I think it IS directed at 5 year olds, being that is most likely their biggest audience.

It's part of the reason why littlins like Seanie think super heros are lame, because their exposure to super heros are generally the meant for young kids crap that doesn't really engage the viewed much. Blame parents for needing more and more baby-sitting material from their tv sets but when a kid gets older and tries to distance themselves from the things they liked at 6 so they aren't considered babies (because being 12 or 14 is so mature and adult-like).

The other part of the reason is their lack of good tastes, but that's a different topic.

[TheJoeCadena]

I'm watching Smackdown and Health Slater is cutting a promo that is insulting my intelligence and I have summed up in this:

Skip Sheffield never existed.

I have caught the new Spiderman show and it is pretty bad. Using very far from mainstream villains and Spiderman being voiced by Drake Bell are the only cool parts. They seemed to have turned him into more of a Deadpool-esque character in this show. But the best part? Stan Lee is a janitor in this. For some reason, Agent Coulson is a character in the show as well. Other than that, aside from Nova being in a show there's not much for this. Avengers: EMH on the other hand is a phenomenal show, but is being cancelled for a Spiderman like show for the Avengers. This saddens me because this is one of the best superhero cartoons in awhile.

I don't think using obscure characters is a plus for the show as a bunch of comic based shows have been using lesser known heroes and villains dating back to the classic Hanna Barbera Batman shows. So what if Spiderman has Nova and Taskmaster? Avengers: EMH last week had a storyline involving the Kree and this week featured Michael Korvac and the freakin' Guardians of the Galaxy.

[99STROWNS77]

I just like the introduction of obscure characters. Something you rarely see, badasses like Taskmaster and Nova. And the GoTG is cool to see as well, never thought I would see Rocket Raccoon on an animated show

[BrokenCycle]

Avengers was amazing.

Could have gone without all the astrophysical jargon gobbeldeegoop though.

Hmmm...but I'm cheap and art school is expensive I'd have to be serious in making it my career.

I'm definitely considering taking a few classes though, because I've tried practicing and I feel all this pressure on me; like is any of this going to actually make me better? Am I just copying what I see and not truly understanding what I'm drawing so I can make use of it later? A class would at least give me direction.

I've also been told I need to go to the basic of basics and draw a billion boxes and cylinders, making use of point perspectives and understanding these simple objects to figure out how to flesh something out of them.

Do I draw the penis?

Wanted to comment on this too: you go as far as you're willing to take your art. It's your work and nobody has any business telling you otherwise. That's my stance anyway. Though it could bite you in the ass.

Reason being: I've worked with nude models before, but I've tried not to make my photography "smutty", because that's not the direction I want to take. If I did, it could hurt my image in the long run. A photographer taking erotic pictures of models may not be able to do family portraits and weddings if he doesn't market himself properly, because that would turn clients away.

Am I the only one that didn't know Johnny Gargano was on Superstars?

So many people wanted to see my artwork the forum exploded.

This further cements my position as "King of the Forums"

[MarSolo]

So I just finished the entire Spider-Man series.

I forgot that they introduced the Hobgoblin during the second season (or at least, the guy who wears the goblin mask), and they name top Mac Gargan in the last episode. Not to mention introducing the Jackal.
