"Outbreak", "Doorways..." and "Kung Pow"

Monday · 13 Sep 04 · 04:30 PM IST | Posted by Karthik | Category: Art

On the night of 11th, I watched Kung Pow: Enter the Fist on CD.  This was one crazy movie (written, directed and starring Steve Oedekerk, the man behind Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls), with the Chosen One tracking Master Pain.  The story doesn't mean much, but the movie is really funny.  They actually took footage from a 1976 Chinese movie and inserted actors digitally, and added new footage and effects.  The movie ends with the promise of a sequel, Kung Pow 2: Tongue of Fury.

I've done some more drawings since the last time, and here is the list!

  • TAPMI Canteen Lunch (31 Aug): You might consider this a sequel to the "Perfect Evening Tea" drawing.  It shows some of the items I usually have for lunch at our canteen.
  • Dark Tales Presents "Outbreak" (4 Sep): This is a one-page comic, with a story told in just ten panels.  As the name of the series suggests, it's a dark tale.
  • Kamal's Left Hand of Doom (7 Sep): Kamal had a swelling on his hand and the people at KMC bandaged it up.  During one class he was holding his hand up giving me quite a clear view of it (though he was at the other end of the class) so I drew it.  The name is inspired by Hellboy's "Right Hand of Doom".
  • Dark Tales Presents "Doorways..." (13 Sep): The second entry in the Dark Tales series.  This one completed this morning at 3 AM (yes, I read the ERP case, then I read a case for SADN class today, and after I had done that stuff, I got to the important thing, and completed the drawing).  For this, I wrote a script so that I knew what I would draw in the ten panels.  I did end up making some slight changes when actually drawing the comic.

About the Dark Tales series, I already have an idea for the third comic, which I am writing the script for.  Kamal has also started writing a story for another Dark Tales comic.  He says his story will require about 20 panels though.

Tomorrow, the End Term exams are starting.  I have just one exam tomorrow (ERP) so that's why I am sitting here in the Systems Lab typing this.
