我發覺每年聖誕節我都會不其然地畫雪人,而且必定有一幅是"雪人扮鹿"... 真奇怪,是潛意識還是有某些情意結?
以上的一幅是92年的sketch。下方的一幅是去年畫的。
放假真好,可以想畫就畫。

● Factual error: Splinter's ear does not ever reveal his injury incurred from his first encounter with The Shredder where the top half of his left ear was cut off.
● Continuity: In the scene where Jones is hauling in general Agilus he knocks over a vase, when the camera returns to show April rubbing her forehead the box with the general is missing and neither April nor Jones has moved.
● Factual error: In the scene at April's apartment after Raphael is wounded, Donny pulls the blade out of Raph's shell and hands it to April. When she examines it, she says that the general became immortal through the stars of Kikan and his generals were turned to stone and that he lived for eternities in regret to revive his brotherhood. The stone should not have spoken of the myth since the general was frozen in stone for 3000 years.
● Plot hole: Leo was captured as the 13th monster with 4 foot soldiers present. They heard the generals talking about how Winters won't know the difference. Winters should have been informed about Leo from Karai as she stated the foot work for Winters. Karai seems to know the turtles history and the foot report to her.

The TMNT have once again been adapted for the big screen. According to the movie’s opening narration and also the official movie summary, the movie takes place in New York City. But while it sure looks like it takes place in New York, something’s missing. See if you can figure out what it is.
Here’s a shot of the city from the movie:

Okay, it looks pretty good. I don’t really recognize any of the buildings in this view, but they got the general feel right, down to the water towers on the rooftops. Here’s another shot:

That’s a pretty good rendering of a New York City streetcorner. Okay.

Another lovely skyline shot. I still don’t recognize any buildings, but I suppose that could be the Brooklyn Bridge in the image. Kinda hard to tell.

But wait. What the hell is this building? I guess I’m fine with fictional buildings in a fiction movie, but if it’s supposed to be New York City, shouldn’t we see some of the real buildings, too? [Read full article from Ironic San]
