The Martian Connection: Part 1

Deep within the catacombs of Mars, scientists make a starteling discovery about the history of the Martians. I've said it for years, folks, further proof of the Martian-Akator Connection.

Inca Treasure Vault

I present "Inca Treasure Vault". The Incas have always facinated me, so I took inspiration from stories of Inca gold hidden from the conquestadores and from the throne room in Indiana Jones and the Arms of Gold.

Sorry about the quality of the second pic. Any advice on how to fix would be very appreciated. Darn digital camera won't cooperate with its zoom.

Indiana Jones and the Secret of the Sphinx

I have just finish Secret of the Sphinx. I would say with confidence, it is the most bizzare of the entire Bantam Indiana Jones series. Good sidequest opening searching for Qin's tomb in the mountains of China (already trying to Legoize some of those traps-I'm thinking ancient Chinese flamthrower) then kind of sinks in to a '30 Asia-is-a-bad-place-to-be description of Indy's escape from a Japanese prison, including a torture-helmet (worse than waterboarding) and this misrable Bryce guy. Then it slowly picks up with a hunt for not one, but two mystical artifacts-the Staff of Aaron and the wholy ficticious Omega Book. It does not feel like Indiana Jones-like a bridge between novels, with a strange misplacement of elements that make up a great Indy story.
Also, there is a kind of afterword involving the Crystal Skull of Cozan-first mention in the beginning sidequest of Philosopher's Stone and at the end Indy says, "...I have had some unusal experences, in which miracles seemed posible. Time travel, even." I immediatly thought of the Indy novel LucasBooks turned down by one of Bantam's writers because it was too science-fiction and had elements of time travel. After all, when Indy said it, he was talking to what the book describes as "the world's foremost authority on time" a "professor". Einstein? I'm going to reseached that a little.

"Hold this, will you?"

I love Sir Nadroj's "Orellana's Cradle". The light effect is achived using a light brick, I think. Amazing work.

Thank you, Sir Nadroj. I think you have helped restore my faith in "Kingdom of the Crystal Skull". At least 'figs can't act.

Tonight-Brian Williams

Check out Brian Williams' awesome Indiana Jones MOCs. Great job "Brian Williams".

Watchmen Review

I have just finished reading Watchmen. If only there were a way to show a pause in typing in the text. Was it good? Yes. Was it without its flaws? No. No. A slow opening, a somewhat depressing end-of-the-world plot, sometimes confusing, all in eye-strainingly tiny panels-but the ending justifies it all. Spoilers ahed. It ends as a happy ending, despite the deaths by fear, white noise and plain psychological overload of some three million New Yorkers, the disintigration of, well, I won't say for anyone reading this with wandering eyes. (I will never forget the time Indiana Jones and the Seven Veils' ending was revealed due to my wantering eyes on a page before I finished the first page.) I have become somewhat of a Watchmen follower, because the word "fan" is far too enthusastic for such a serious piece of fiction. As for the film, well, if Zack Snyder cues "Its the End of the World as We Know it" I will be ticked.
