Land of Art Ph15:Challenges 4 + 5

[beelikej]

I want to make an effort to post my landofart challenges in order, even though they are not always set up in numerical order in the community. Challenge number 5 was done a while ago and was an individual challenge. For challenge number 4 teams of six people had to work together to create icons for colorbars, which took some time to organize. I joined three

I like The Boys set - that's one of my fave colour combos (the pinky purple and the tealy-green). Yep, you can tell I'm an artist by my command of the language of colour, can't you!

I wanted to love The Boys - I love the concept, I'm fond of the Superhero genre, especially when it explores how problematic superpowers are, I love Karl Urban... but the level of brutality in the violence really turns my stomach. I don't care that it's there for reasons, I don't watch fantasy telly to see that. Telly can be thought-provoking and intelligent without being so in your face with the gore. But I will probably be trying to watch it again because of Jensen. Sigh.

Thank you, I picked the colours based on Kimiko's unicorn shirt:)

I understand what you mean; it's very over the top in its violence and that's not everyone's thing. I don't mind it, for me it emphasizes how problematic superpowers can be. I also like the point of view of Hughie as the 'normal' guy getting more and more blasé about that (which also reflects the viewers experience in my opinion, I fear they have to make it more and more extreme as they go on)

I'm more annoyed with the overdone compensation for years of US tv censoring language. Kripke is like a toddler who discovered naughty words and everytime Butcher talks all I can hear is a little boy saying 'poo' and 'pee' with glee for effect.

But yeah, I will watch S3 as well. For Jensen :-p

These are great, especially Kimiko, who is my favourite character!

Thank you! I think Kimiko is very cool; I tried to show two sides of each character and I really like that photo of her staring us down:)
