Description 16/01/2018: Finally got this finished guys, I started on this yesterday. It took most of the morning and afternoon to get it finished. Glad it's done and as always moving onto the next picture to do. 

"Does it bother you that I am not completely human?.." - Alita 

Speaking of.. As much as I hate Hollywood just killing Manga or anime materials into rubbish movie productions, throw in video games too. I'm actually looking forward to this live action adaption of Battle Angel Alita. I remember hearing rumours of this for years, James Cameron and Steven Speilberg were interested in it, I believe they are fans of it, I know James is a fan on sci fi animated movies from Japan. He loved Ghost in the Shell, it would have been interesting if he got his hands on that. In the end, he manage to get the rights or permission for Alita, and that teaser trailer they released a month ago. He isn't directing the movie, he passed that to 'Robert Rodriguez' so far I am 
Loving the look of it, I've seen the manga so I know what to expect from the movie unless they make changes to it to surprise fans of the original source. People are complaining about the eyes on ALita that they are too big. Let me say this, I think they look great and everyone else complaining about it are those who have no idea what 'Alita' is and that it's based on anime. So they are not aware of that anime style structure of characters having those large eyes etc - people love to find things to bitch and complain about. 

This is what Robert had to say about the cgi eyes “It was always [James Cameron’s] intention to create a photo-realistic version of the manga eyes that we’re so accustomed to seeing. We really wanted to honour that tradition and see that look standing next to any human character. To have the right person to emote behind it was really essential. Her origins are in the film and you understand why she looks that way. If the eyes are the windows to the soul, we have some pretty big windows. You can see a lot going on in there! When it gets to the emotional scenes it’s really uncanny and striking. And captivating!”

with that shared.. looking forward to seeing this in the cinema here in London.
