Hello, Fellow Artists!

A new month is here, and therefore comes the announcement of a new fan-art on the horizon! So, what fandom do I get to dive into this time? Well, if you've been paying attention to our Instagram page [self-less plug here: www.instagram.com/esoartstudio…], you'd notice that I've been posting character studies of a scrappy and short Canadian Marvel mutant: Wolverine.

For those who know me, it's no secret that I'm a huge X-Men fan. But, my fan-boy voice only gets to a feverish pitch when I specifically get into the history of the X-Man, Wolverine. Could I be such a big fan, because I grew up a stocky and hairy outsider who "Goes where I want to go" [note: extra points if you get that reference] with an inner-deep rage that found kinship with the character Wolverine? Or, that I was an imaginative stocky and hairy outsider who grew up using pencils as claws, because I thought Wolverine was a badass? A little of column A, and a little of column B.

But, those who know me have also had the unfortunate pleasure to listen to me rant about what Live-Action Hollywood has done to my beloved X-Men and Wolverine. Sure, I've enjoyed the actors that portrayed them (i.e. Stewart, McKellen, McAvoy, Fassbender, Lawrence, Berry, and Jackman), but I have no short-list of grievances with the story, timelines, characters, and costumes. And, one of my deepest resentments had to deal with how they portrayed Wolverine.

Hugh Jackman is a wonderful actor for the role he was cast. He has an acting range that may win the character at least an Oscar nomination soon. And, although Jackman did a great job at capturing the essence of Wolverine (as any great actor would), I didn't get the Wolverine I came to know and admire. The Wolverine they gave me was tall, and handsome. He never once donned something that resembled the mutant Canuck's costume and cowl. And, just when you thought they got Wolverine's story correct, they would throw in a Frankenstein Deadpool, a healing-factor-stealing Cyborg-Silver Samurai, or a out-of-left-field berserker clone. Or, they would just chunk him into any story that they thought would raise the caliber of the movie. Why!?

So, I've decided to create my own Wolverine movie in beats that I've always wanted to see. Plus, I'm going to be including the only clone of Wolverine that I've liked as much as the original: X-23 aka Laura Kinney!

Keep an eye here for more updates! Until next time, be creative!

During my early nerd years, I hated anime.

I know. It's hard to believe. But, I couldn't stand it. Outside of Dragonball Z (which, for some reason, I didn't understand as being anime), I couldn't stand the medium. This hate was mostly fueled by my Artistic Arch-Rival at the time (yes, I had an Artistic Arch-Rival, or AAR for short). He would always claim that Japanese manga art was superior to my American comicbook art (how dare he talk about my Witchblade in such as way!) He would draw Goku, or Shinji, and I'd duel him with drawings of Witchblade, or Wolverine. He would claim that comicbook art was messy, and I would claim that all manga art all looked the same (and, that it was hard to aesthetically tell the difference between Shinji and Rei).

But, only one series brought me back from the brink of anime hate...Trigun! After graduating from high school (and, being away from my AAR...I'm going to make this a thing), a good friend of mine introduced me to a 3 year old series that he described as "funny, but then it gets dark". After watching the first few episodes, I was hooked! A pacifist, badass, gun-slinger who has to go up against 12 other badasses in order to pacify his crazed brother from destroying a wild west world? Where do I sign up!? Trigun "triggered" my fascination with anime (see what I did there?) unbeknownst to my AAR.

So, this month's fan-art piece will be my take on the Trigun world! I've always wanted to do this, but never had the courage to try my hand at it. I will then be revealing the artwork at the end of the month. So, stay tuned to our social media sites for its progression!

So, do I have any Trigun fans here? If you have ever watched the series, what did you think of it? Did you ever get to check out the manga, or the movie "Trigun: Badland Rumble"? Does anyone else hope that they redo the Trigun series, like they did Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood, like I do?

Nerd Chat:

"He's not leaving The Batman. He's just not directing The Batman. He's not leaving The Batman. He's just not directing The Batman. He's not leaving The Batman. He's just not directing The Batman." *fetal position*

Hola, Fellow Artists!

Daniel here just wanting to get a little Nerd Chat in. So, Affleck is leaving The Batman's directing chair in fear that he would not be able to pull quadruple-duty (Exec. Producer, Director, Writer, and Actor), and still do Batman justice. *cue MASS HYSTERIA!*

But, I'm okay with this. As long as Affleck is in charge of picking the Director (which I'm sure his Exec. Producer credit gives him that ability), I think we can still have an amazing movie on our hands. Just look towards "Good Will Hunting". Here, Affleck is both a writer and actor of the movie, and the Director (Gus Van Sant) was still able to bring a touching and Oscar winning affair.

Affleck has gone on record as saying that he wouldn't create The Batman if it meant turning in a half-baked product. And if "Live by Night", "Argo", "The Town", and "Gone Baby Gone" is any testament to his idea of quality, then I think we Batman fans can un-clench our butt-cheeks just a little.

But, what do you guys think? Were you excited for The Batman mainly because he was Directing the flick, or is Affleck's creative control more important to you? And, who do you think would be the ideal Director if Affleck is out?

Hello, Creators!

I figured since I already update my Facebook page every week, why aren't I updating dA just as much..? Well, Reader, I'm here to rectify just such an injustice! So, where to start? Let's just go down the line..

My Facebook page! I recently took the plunge to become a self-made man! Well...actually, an attempt to become a freelance professional (no mafia involved). So, I created the Facebook page, "D.Jaramillo Design & Illustration" (can be found here: www.facebook.com/djaramillodes…) as a precursor to my official website. Here you can find my art, graphic design, and ventures into YouTube. Which brings me to my next topic..

YouTube! I like talking nerdy. I like being nerdy. I like creating nerdy things. So, it would stand to reason that eventually I'd help in creating a podcast about all things nerd. Enter "Thought Balloon"! This is a YouTube channel (found here: www.youtube.com/channel/UC72Hm…) where I get to spelunk with friends into the world of comicbooks. We have our podcast "Panel 2 Panel" (which we're three episodes deep in) where 3 or 4 friends talk about all things comicbook related from the previous week. Soon we hope to expand the nerdiness to Lets-Plays, comic/manga convention coverage, and more. So, check that out, subscribe, and leave thoughts in the comments!

Finally, conventions! I've been fortunate enough to attend a few generous publishing houses like "Stratum Comics" and "Isshonni Press". And now, I'm hoping to bring that experience back with me. So through the two hubs listed above, I hope to include interviews, Making-Of processes, and looks into the world of Cons.

And, that's it from me for now. Until next time, be creative!
