Description This is a vintage-esque photo manipulation that I did for a movie poster that I am working on right now. It's going to be another "Guardian of Time" poster, this time for "The Dark," which was probably my favorite book out of all of the trilogy.

Anyway, on to my references:

This was so much fun to make because Ark has always been my fav character and I really wanted to make him perfect.

Amazing. The photomanipulation is genius, but the model himself captures the character perfectly! Great job! I love Arkarian.

I luv it. I luv it. I LUUURRV IT!!!! This is my impression of one character from an 80s cartoon called Galaxy High. But seriously, I love Arkarian and this would be the ideal person to play him due to the picture.

Awesome choice of a drool worthy guy to play Arkarian! I do agree he's one of the best fictional characters out there! I thought it was adorable how he was worrying about his hair in the second book XD!! Really cute!

Arkarian is so amazing. Even though I'm a huge fan of other fantasy books like Twilight and HP, none of the lead males in those can even contend with Arkarian in terms of coolness.

I KNow! though I'm not so into Twilight because I keep finding grammatical errors and typo's and it just looks like ammature work to me. Point being there is no other character quite like Arkarian!

uncannyphantom In reply to iceblonde [2008-03-17 03:23:10 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, I tend to be really critical of books that have typos, it happens way more often than it should, but Twilight still appeals to me, though not as much as the Guardians of Time. Pure genius.

iceblonde In reply to uncannyphantom [2008-03-17 04:11:33 +0000 UTC]

OF course! Do you know if she's planning on writing other books? I'd be interested to find out, her writing style is genius! I'm still planning on buying the Twilight series books since once I start a series I have to finish it..plus I'm curious to know what's in the next book, stuff about bella being a new vampire or are we going to be following Jacob and his angst for a while.

uncannyphantom In reply to iceblonde [2008-03-17 22:17:33 +0000 UTC]

I have no idea, but I hope she does keep writing.

Jake's angst is starting to bother me, he really needs to imprint and stop harassing Bella, they are so much better as friends, though Edward kinda pisses me off sometimes too.

iceblonde In reply to uncannyphantom [2008-03-17 23:44:15 +0000 UTC]

true, I really hated the angst bella had going too. Jake is just pining after her, he needs to go find someone else, find another pack somewhere.

uncannyphantom In reply to iceblonde [2008-03-18 00:05:59 +0000 UTC]

Jake just needs to get laid, it's really that simple, ditto for Bella, though that probably won't happen, what with her dating a vamp and all that, and the Twilight books being geared towards tweens as well as teens.

iceblonde In reply to uncannyphantom [2008-03-18 00:23:38 +0000 UTC]

Well I sold the latest two, I wanted new books and my parents weren't going to pay, and the guy at powell's told me that there was going to be a party for the fourth book if I was interested. So there will be another book...but honestly, where's it going to go that we haven't already guessed? Beside's Jake needing to meet someone else and "getting laid" as you put it XD, Is he going to be a loner for a while and then hook up with a different pack and become alpha male? Who know's. Hey a book you might want to check out is called, ' Bone City' by Cassandra Clare. kind of dealing with mythological creature in this as well, got an interesting plot line, I personally hated the ending but that's just me. I still recommend it as a good fiction read.

uncannyphantom In reply to iceblonde [2008-03-18 16:46:42 +0000 UTC]

Bone City? I've been searching for a new book to read, though I haven't had much spare time, what with homework and stuff like that, but I'll look into it. Though, who knows when I'll actually get a chance to go to a library.

I hope the fourth book in the Twilight series solves/puts an end to all of Jake's angst, b/c theres only so much that a reader can actually put up with, until they start hating the character.

My spring break just ended, so I'm not looking at any free time for another two months or so, I guess I'll have to catch up on my reading during the summer. Assuming that I have time then.

Yeah, summer, while it's a nice break from the monotony of school, is sometimes too long and too busy.

iceblonde In reply to uncannyphantom [2008-03-27 21:47:51 +0000 UTC]

I never feel it's too long, it's just really busy. Sometimes I just feel like being lazy and pick up and good book and turn off the electronics in my house, besides air conditioning and fridge and stuff ^ ^

iceblonde In reply to uncannyphantom [2008-03-29 06:35:09 +0000 UTC]

Even colleges that aren't that well known are really expensive. Texas has been screwing all of their students that are going to college on scholarships, my brother went to a Texas school freshman year, and there really isn't a safe guard about grants and loans and all that when you need one. Hopefully whoever becomes president will help us out a little, because with the way things are looking I'm going to have to take off a year and just get a job and save up.

uncannyphantom In reply to iceblonde [2008-03-30 22:26:27 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, even going in-state is expensive and then there's no ggaruntee that you will even get a good education at a state school that has over 40,000 students.

I mean, I'm glad that I found a college that is nice and offers me financial aide as well as work-study, but even then, it's still expensive.

iceblonde In reply to uncannyphantom [2008-03-30 22:52:31 +0000 UTC]

yep. A college I was checking out in cali was $27 grand each term or year, and then there was an additional fee of $7,900 for living in the dorm, which are actually apartment buildings and you get to share an apartment with 3 other people. And your only allowed to stay in the apartments your first year, you have to find your own place after that, which I'm not going to do. So even though the classes looked awesome, I'm saying no to that one D:

Yeah, it's rediculous. I ended up visiting something a dozen colleges, applied to 7 and finally narrowed it down to the one that I'm at. The college application process is such a pain.

I wanted to take a prep class before I did the SAT But I don't think it's an option this late in the game. It'd help a whole lot more if Teachers and the student council reminded us more often.

uncannyphantom In reply to iceblonde [2008-04-01 04:09:24 +0000 UTC]

You should swing by your local bookstore, barnes and nobles or border, and grab an SAT prep book. Sure, they are on the pricey side, maybe 20 bucks for a book that you are only going to need once in your life, but the vocab and questions in the book can often be pretty useful. Plus, it just helps to get into the mindset necessary to tackle a 6 hour exam. I am so glad that THAT is over.

Actually I'm probably going to take it twice as well. See how I did on the first try and then study hard core and come back with a head full of knowledge. ^ ^
