Description
Who can resist a pun? Jayli (the One who Holds the Key) and Luke as Neo and Trinity, respectively X3. A piccy done in the spirit of Halloween, after much reassuring of Luke that I wouldn't overdo the leather pants.
Excuse me as I try out a more cartoony style - it's also faster and easier for me to complete amidst studying. I kinda like it
~8 hours. Linework in Illustrator 10, colours in PhotoShop 7.

*LOL* What, giving Trinity's tight leather catsuit to a guy?

I love this picture! One of my best friends dressed as Neo for Halloween ([link] ), and this picture looks almost identical to him and his girlfriend, right down to his weird little bang-thingies.

I've never actually seen the Matrix, though I've always wanted to.

Hehe, thanks! Well, my recommendation to you is to watch only the first Matrix - it's the only good one X3.

Really? Well, I definitely do want to check it out. I heard that it was a cliff-hanger, though.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
No, the first Matrix wasn't a cliffhanger - it was the second Matrix movie that was a cliffhanger at the end.
I still say the first one is best. It has some really interesting philosophical ideas in it, and some really neat conceptual ideas in general. It makes a really great satire of today's technological society - it's very thought-provoking, if you let yourself think about it.
What really destroyed the second movie (and third, which I didn't even bother seeing because everyone said it was horrible), is that they stopped focussing on the interesting implications of the story and characters, and started focussing on cheesier, more Hollywood-ish things. Yes, the effects and fight-scenes and such were cool, and it had some neat ideas in it, but it was just... too... Hollywood.

Okay, I knew that one of them were a cliffhanger.
I never really knew much about the Matrix, but that makes it (the first one) sound more interesting. I love movies that make me think, it's better than just mindlessly watching something. And it sucks that they ruined something cool by making it too Hollywood as you put it. I hate it when something really cool is followed with a crappy sequel.

It's really hard to make a good sequel nowadays... not quite sure why...

I know what you mean. And in my opinion, the quality of most American movies seems to be going downhill. They just keep re-doing old movies, making sequels they don't really need sequels of, or making a ridiculous supposed-to-be romances. Some of the movies are good, but they're aren't nearly as many I want to see right now as I have in past years.

I know what you mean - I've gone to see, perhaps, three movies in the theatres in the past two years. They were okay.
Y'know what I'd love to see? Some really thought-provoking movies, something with real substance... Have you ever seen American Beauty? Really interesting philosophical movie - I thought it was awesome how they made philosophy the focus of the movie, without making it blatantly obvious and overdone. Another good movie that comes to mind is A Beautiful Mind, which is based on the true story of a genius who suffers from paranoid schizophrenia... and doesn't realise it until later in his life - really good, really interesting movie. And, I intend on buying FFVII: Advent Children when it comes out here (I've seen it - really awesome IMO)...
As for movies that are out and currently considered "good" - well, I hear Serenity is awesome, but I wouldn't know. The trailer turned me off, for some reason...

Haha spiffy!!
Yar I'm having a bit of trouble spending time on my artworks because of school and piano exams and things..

Thanks!
Eek, yeah. Piano exams, you say? What grade are you studying for? I'm only familiar with RCM, but I know others exist, too.

Welcome
I'm going for my 4th. Wot's RCM? Heh I'm in AUS so I just take AMEB.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ahhh, RCM = Royal Conservatory of Music. It goes up to teacher/performance level (Grade "11"), and requires ~2 years practice before you're likely to pass. I got to Grade 10 and realized I wouldn't be able to make it - school became too demanding.
