Taking a little break from studying exams - I watched the Batman Beyond movie. This was based on the animated series, Batman beyond, that takes place some fifty years after the original Batman series. The story is pretty good, I used to watch the cartoon when it was on saturday mornings... it seems to be over now unfortunately.
I always thought that the art was rather rad. I think the idea lots of anime fans have that Japanese art is automatically better than North American art is unfair. The use of almost exclusively straight lines, attention to scenery... it reminded me of Bryan's comic! Batman Beyond also has lots of night club scenes with people dancing - and that reminded me of one of Bryan's panels. It's awesome when very natural moving shots can be captured in such minimalist styles. Anyway, there are lots of similarities! So, keep going developing your style Bryan! Pretty good so far ^^
