Blood: The Last Vampire (live action) Review.
This was mostly copied from my deviantArt journal. If you want, you can count this as my second review of something ever, the first being the comicbook Dokyo in the Manga Criolla vids that are somewhere in my facebook page and in my youtube. Anyway, here you go! (Btw, Antonio Rivera, I still owe you that, was going to send it the other night, but things got WAY hectic at home suddenly, expect it in your e-mail sometime today or at night)
Finally saw the live action "Blood, The Last Vampire" the other night. It was ok for what it was, but, it felt like I wasn't watching a movie about Blood I mean, I had zero expectations heading into watching it, because I have the original anime movie in such high regard I didn't want to create to high of an expectation for the movie. It wasn't bad, but not great either, it was....ok
It started good enough, very similar to the original soucre, but then, it went into this mind-trip, seizure inducing fight scenes that sometimes I had to rewind just to see what exactly happened Litteraly there were times where I was like "WHAT just happened?!" And when you still are seeing double at random times from your right eye, and some of the action scenes were so frantic, it's not pretty And I love a good fight scene as much as anybody. But.....damn....There was this one scene in a bar type thing, that the fighting went on....and on...and on....and on....It was long like in "Matrix Reloaded" Neo vs a million Agent Smith long, and again, it was so frantic, I couldn't tell at all at some points what happened where
I feel like the movie should've been called something else rather than like the original movie. Like "Blood: Quest for Onigen" or "Blood, Origins", or "I can't believe it's not Blood!". You know what what it actually reminded me in a way? Ninja Scroll and Ninja Resurrection.
Back in the early to mid 90s, there wasn't THAT much people connected to the internet, and there wasn't as much information as there is now. Especially when it came to anime and the such. So, when Ninja Scroll arrived to the States and became this huge hit here, bigger than in Japan itself, it was a BLAST! So, when Manga Entertainent, the american distribuitor of Ninja Scroll showed teh trailer for Ninja Ressurection, and pardon the language because I rarely swear, all my friends and I were like "HOLY SHIT!!!!! A sequel to Ninja Scroll!!!!!" Oh, how we were fooled.....
You see, Ninja Ressurection, was in fact, NOT a sequel to Ninja Scroll. It was an ENTIRLEY DIFFERENT MOVIE!!!! The name Jubei is a very common name in Japan, espeially for like hero type characters. And the main character in Ninja Ressurection was named Jubei, and looked a lot like teh Jubei of Ninja Scroll. So, Manga Entertainment, knowing the goldmine Ninja Scroll was, renamed the other movie and designed the logo to look like teh Ninja Scroll movie, and everybody and their mother in the US fell for it!!!!! Ninja Resurection was NOT in any way related to Ninja Scroll, and at that time, like sheep, we flocked to it to our surprise and utter dissapointment
That's in a way how I felt with the live action Blood, I felt like somebody had made a different movie, and later was relased and marketed as Blood. But anyway, not the best movie I've seen, but not the worse either (that dubious honor goes to a dvd Spanish dubbed version of "Laser Mission", one of Brandon Lee's first flicks). It had it's cool moments, and the father of the american girl acted so bad, it was fun! Especially his face when he died....I couldn't stop laughing at his face.....
So, an in all, in a Dangerscale!~ of 1-5, 1 being the weakest, 5 being the strongest, I give "Blood, the last Vampire" live action flick 2 epileptic inducing fight scenes
There it was, hope you all liked it, if you wanna read or see more vids of reviews or something, just lemme know and I might just think of something. In the meantime, peace out =)

TMW Test: Chapter 4
This video was actually done before the NovusGenesis one. I was testing out the whole One True Media site to get familiar with it. So this was a small teaser for chapter 4 of Fred Peterson, The Mighty Warlord =)
Rigo's NovusGenesis
First video I uploaded to YouTube. This was a mock trailer I did for a friend's webcomic. He liked it so much, he used it as the official trailer at that time! Enjoy =)

The Tao of Danger-Ryu #1- The Flow of Time.
Tick Tock.
Time is moving.
Recently, I have been thinking over many things, especially in the creativity department. Slowly I had found myself looking at Micheal Turner art on the internet. Then I realized that I had lent my Turner stuff to a friend, and that after Turner's untimely death, I didn't even look at his artwork for a very long time.
Quite a few months back, I was in Bayamon (for you who know not, Bayamon is a pretty populated city here in Puerto Rico, about half an hour away from were I live). There's this kiosk in the bus terminal that sells old comics and magazines. I came across Supergirl #1 for 80 cents. It had a Micheal Turner cover on it, he had done the redesign for the character. And it brought back many memories, because the Supergirl pages I drew that are in my "Art of Danger" folder in Facebook, I actually was looking A LOT of his stuff at the time. So, a year after his death, I picked up that issue and bought it, I dunno, it felt like it was a way of coming full circle and coming to terms in a way. Which got me thinking (surprise, surprise).
I thought how amazing something like time is. People live their lives sometimes, stuck in a moment. In a period of time. Either reliving good times, or perpetuating horrid memories that long should have been left behind. As if time has stood still. The earth stopped spinning around the orbit. It's just you, your memories, and thoughts about either how things used to be, or how things should have been.
You think how time has not moved for you, yet how it seems to move fine with people around you. Friends. Family. "Frienemies". I finally asked back for my Micheal Turner comics a few days ack after checking his artwork again online. I saw them, and it almost felt like I was looking at it for the first time again because, you guessed it, timed had moved on so fast at the seems since the last time I held them in my hands. I got to drawing, and it felt like in a sense, times was moving for me again. But then I realized. It wasn't that time had started moving again, it was ME that started moving again. Because time never stops for anyone.

"..We should give all our love to each other..."
Just a little something I did this afternoon, trying to experiment a bit :)~Alvaro
Don't call it a comeback! Um..actually...you can call it just that! XD
So, yeah, let's give this one more shot! I'm going to try to do this once every week. First on these sketches, is the latest one of the bunch (did it about an hour ago). His name is Furia and is from a local puertorican comic studio named Unity. Then it's followed by Alex Elder, from Humberto Ramos' OUTSTANDING Crimson from a few years back. Last but not least, is a character from another local studio named Dreamgrafixs. She's called Ashes, fro the title Esoteric Hunters. Well, that's it for this week, catch it next week with more razzle dazzle! XD Take care, have a great weekend, and God bless, all!

"Wither and Die"
"Wither and Die"
I just got the lo-down
that you're down and out
make a wish, let it fly
hope you won't wither and die
How did you burn out?
your star shone the brightest
take a note, make a bid
so you can glow the way that you did
Bite my lip and make it bleed
lick it off and taste my blood
and I, I just want to breath
breath inside of you
It wasn't my intent
to watch you wither and die
dig a hole in the Earth
plant your seed and wait for you to bloom
Bite my lip and make it bleed
lick it off and taste my blood
and I, I just want to breath
breath inside of you
Bite my lip and make it bleed
lick it off and taste my blood
and I, I just want to breath
breath inside of you
and I, I just want to bleed
bleed deep inside of you
