More Rise of the Guardians comics

[blackruzsa]

This time released by Dreamworks--more Pitch Black, by Johane Matte, Perry Maple and WoonYoung Jung. 

Johane Matte, by the way, is Rufftoon, who is STILL drawing ROTG comics on Tumblr even now.










"NICHOLAS ST. NORTH!" (aka Santa Claus)

He (enthusiastically) asks Pitch to ally himself with him.

"What makes you think I would be interested in alliances?"

North explains that they all became Guardians--he, Tooth and Sandy--to keep children safe. He also explains that the Man in the Moon gave them those roles, chose them to become Guardians.







1) Pitch's outfit bears a startling resemblance to movie!Loki and
2) I love this story. The movie, and all its extensions, and the book it sprung from, I badly want to read.

So many artists have gotten into this movie. Like, for example, the captivating Phobs:


Who is creating a 14-page comic based on Pitch's backstory.

Basically, he had a daughter. A daughter who eventually became Mother Nature, after she lost him to the Fearlings, which made him what he is now.

The stories behind each Guardian are amazing, guys, honestly.



And, before I cap this all off, here's what I did in the span of 30 minutes after watching the movie: 



I want to clarify that Soft pastels are an incredibly difficult medium to control, seeing as they're like chalk, but smudgier and harder to erase.

Plus I borked up his hand and the arm length, but I like how this turned out anyway :)

Also, can we have a Rise of the Guardians tag? :)) I may make more posts after this one.

I liked what was in the movie! What I didn't like was that they had such a time limit that they didn't show this... like, I didn't hate anything in the movie but there could have been SO MUCH more.

For me, it just felt like a lot of action scenes dragged on a bit long, which was why they didn't have more time for exploration of the relationships between characters. They had a lot of characters to juggle and it sorta felt like stuff like the snowball fight/sled ride was taking up time that could've been used on the characters we didnt get to see much of. Those scenes weren't bad, but I feel like the character driven stuff would've been better.

You're right! ): But the action scenes were still a treat for the eyes all the same *w* As an animator I enjoyed them ten times more, even if they took away from the backstory potential.
