Weirdly’s World: Fun Violence

An example is being made of some of the towns people by way of having their faces removed. If I was drawing something more realistic I wouldn’t go this route. The drawing would be to horrific and gory. But since I was working in a more cartoony style I thought I could get away with it . The guy in this page looks more like a mexican sugar skull so not so bad.

This does bring up the issue of violence for entertainment. I have to admit I do find comic book and movie violence fun. Though movie carnage can not sit so well with me because of the level of realism they can achieve. Some movie violence I wish I could unsee. Like the ear cutting off scene in RESERVOIR DOGS. I won’t see that movie again because of that scene. I don’t have a comic book equivalent of that. An evil character made CAT WOMAN‘s sister eat her husbands eyeballs but that didn’t feel as disturbing. For some reason comic books have a softer effect on me as far as violence goes.

If violence is well placed and moves the story along I think it’s ok. And yes if it demonstrates superhuman powers it is sooooo much fun! I think there are limits to the levels of violence shown corresponding with who your audience is. As a storyteller you definitely have a responsibility there.

The Rising Sun at the Rail Yards Market by Alex Paramo

Published by communitypublishingabq@gmail.com on June 21, 2014 Respond

Summer SolsticeThe Summer Solstice is when the summer begins in the Northern Hemisphere and for us living in Mountain Time Zone that moment is “officially” occurs at 4:51 AM on Saturday, June 21. Known as Litha in many pagan traditions, there are many celebrations that take place around the globe and and in many creative ways.

Summer Solstice and the Midsummer Night

Summer SolsticeIn Northern European countries, Midsummer is a very important celebration that revolves around the Summer Solstice. Sometime known as St. John’s Day, this celebration is as important as Christmas and New Years Day. The celebration is often celebrated with bonfires and there is usually a clear inter-mingling with Christian rituals.
