dun dun, dun duh-duh-duh-duh dun! zelda shipped.
Not that many people will use a "contact" section of a website; I'm pretty sure that I've only done it once or twice. I guess my students are the exception. In this past month one of my ex-students wrote that "the web sight is nice." Jovanna said "When are you going to get some more boards for the classroom cause Kennard is very distracting. Put Kennard in a corner on Monday. My lil brother is still drawing that crazy kung fu cat you taught him how to draw." And Chris wrote a simple "whatup teach this is Christopher Roary from class 607." I'll probably give all my students the website at the end of the school year; right now it's a secret that only the after-school crowd knows. Oh, and I somehow managed to justify playing Super Smash Bros. with some students after school last Friday: Vocabulary Video Games. Before each match, we open a dictionary and pick out a random word. Then you have to use that word as you trash-talk your opponent during the fight. Mr. Werner is currently undefeated in Vocabulary Video Games.
Zelda rocks. There's a huge focus on exploration since you have to travel through most of the world in a talking boat, sailing from island to island. A lot of people have complained about the cartoonish cel-shaded graphics, but I think it's incredibly creative and well-done. The artwork in the game is simply amazing, just helping fuel this recent rejuvenated interest in drawing. Yeah yeah, Zelda games are always making everybody go crazy. Over 600,000 games were pre-ordered and sales should pass the million mark soon. It's deserved.
I added a site map and some more stuff in the illustration portfolio. Have a good weekend!
