Beowulf: The Game - Review

So I finally got around to playing Beowulf: The Game and completed it. A game released in 2007, that I picked up probably in 2009 for £6.99 and took 9 hours to complete...so the in game counter tells me. It felt alot longer.

The game is pretty mindless hack and slashing your way through very dark, dull levels against repetitive, uninspiring enemy hordes. I even fancied my chances on the Legendary mode during the first play. I don't normally do this, but then I didn't expect much from the game.

The achievements are pretty easy to pick up without really trying too hard. Probably managed to pick up around 25 out of 31 without looking through all the collectibles. There were some tricky, frustrating moments but it was generally an easy ride, even the boss battles, with the end boss being ridiculously easy. Who da thought a giant gold dragon would be so easy to defeat?

Would I recommend the game? If you were a fan of the film, and just like picking up achievements, give it a try if its cheap enough.

Rating 2/5

Captain Britain

A quick Captain Britain sketch. Was bored and wanted to draw something, just didnt know what, so here we go, nothing great.

Best Friends

My MA Animation final project, well, half of it. An epic story of friendship, love, revenge and superhero fighting!

Aurora

Finally gotten around to finishing the colours on this piece. Enjoy.

Justice League

Did this a couple of days ago. Bam!

Great Odin's Raven!

The folks over at the Classic Marvel Figurine Collection posted an amazing preview sculpt of the upcoming Odin special. Check it out, its a gorgeous sculpt.

Inspired, and also bored, I played around in photoshop slapping some colours on top of the preview pictures to rough up what the figurine could look like painted. I think it looks pretty sweet, and makes me want the figurine even more.

Damn August/September wait.

Final Fight

82 images in total, alot of short cuts, but still, took ages.

AFL Nurses

So I have been toying around with the idea of having some sort of kinky nurses for my AFL fighting tournament on deviantart. Mainly because they would be a weird nurse endorsing a fighting tournament, especially one hosted by a guy named AngelCrusher.

So here are some more designs which I am happier with, adapting an older character design for it. So he is some different designs and colours, what works and what doesnt?

231 - Sonic

Sonic is in dire need of a redesign to freshen him up. I present, triangle Sonic!

230 - Lil Miss Love

I designed a female superhero character ages ago for a contest to have the design feature as some sort of sidekick or love interest. Didnt win, but I digged the design. Anyway, I took that young character and just made her look more grown up.

229 - Naruto?

So yeh, this is a weird Naruto all grown up.

228 - Superman

Drew a Superman sketch upon request as I never had any Superman art prints. This turned out pretty well for a lunchtime sketch, just need to add some inks and colour and its ready to go.

227 - SleepWalker

Over at the Classic Marvel Figurine Collection blog I offered my drawing services for my lunchtime sketch and this character was requested. Now I dont know much personally about SleepWalker, hence the generic pose and 2D animated design. Remember these are quick sketched made during my lunch break. ;)

226 - Kid America

Gah! Another Captain America sketch! This time, with added biro! Made him more kiddish with the proportions, and to further that idea, his 'a' on his forehead isn't a captial letter. Aww.

225 - Bart

A little something in the making. We have seen Homer Vs Peter...but what about Bart Vs? What about turning it into a tag team? Just a few options where this could go folks. Stay tuned for inks and colours.

224 - Dark Knight

Batman getting some head shot love. He has the squarest jaw in the world...which is his real super power.

223 - Lion-O

Thunder....Thunder...Thunder...THUNDERCATS! HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooo!
I cant wait to see the new designs for the new cartoon series. Looking back, Thundercats is so camp.

222- Homer?

Just messing around with a very quick Homer sketch in a different cartoony style.

221 - Goku

Another love that I dont show enough for, Dragonball Z. Well here is Goku in a pose from my DBZ pencil case that I adapted for my own style.

220 - NightCrawler

Just had a bit of fun with this design. I still regard the opening sequence in X-2 as one of the best intros to a film ever with NightCrawler kicking ass. I watched it, looked to my friend in a nod of awesomeness, and even texted my future girlfriend. It was just that damn cool.
