Playing around with textures again.

Great entertainer, shame about his public troubles overshadowing his music.

(A continuation of a story I have been making up as I draw from a previous post I did, this one below doesn't directly relate to what just occurred before, however it is still in the same Universe/City. I make this up as I go along so yeah I just wanted to add something to the drawing I guess.)

It is the year 3051. It is a bitterly cold and silent night on the outskirts of the city.

Detective Williams had been tipped off by an anonymous e-mail there was a certain location within the wharf area BlackBird had kept weapons and computers holding data on various people and points of interest throughout the city. With no other real leads except for the playing cards he had found, Williams decided to make his way to the City's wharf district.

Upon arriving to the wharf district, it was 1am, Williams pulled his car into the empty car park lot as he quietly stepped out of his car, shutting his door firmly. Williams could hear the sound of the ocean crashing against the concrete pillars with the smell of sea salt and raw fish wafting through the air. Williams looked to his right to notice a flock of seagulls perched quietly against the row of empty seats along the walkway. Ahead of Williams, were some Yachts and old century Tug Boats, gently rocking back and forth from the waves that slapped against them. To his left was a building that appeared operating as four floodlights were on with power lines running above him, with one light on in the room to the back. Williams took note and begun to walk quietly to the light source before suddenly he turned around...

Two exotic-looking cars pulled up behind him, with their headlights shone directly at him. Williams could barely see from the light when six men in dark suits came out of the cars.

"Williams, Williams..." A low husky voice said with sense of sarcasm and joy.

Williams looked forward squinting his eyes, unable to recognise the voice.

"It's been Twelve years, I don't blame you for not recognising me straight away Williams." The man with the low voice laughed as the men behind him begun to talk amongst themselves.

The sound of a gun shot could be heard as Williams looked on startled, bringing his hand to his gun concealed within his pocket. Another gun shot was heard as Williams felt a sudden sharp pain strike through his hand.

"Ah! Oh god!" Williams yelled as he clinched for his hand immediately.

"Twelve years Williams..."

Williams grinded his teeth before suddenly hearing another gun shot go off as the headlights still blinded him, his shoulder being struck by cold lead. Williams went into shock as he slumped to the ground shaking. The men behind him stopped talking as they moved closer, their identities concealed by shadow cast from the head lights behind them as four guns were raised to the head of Williams.

"I understand Williams, you have a job to do, looking after this City, but...so do I?" The man looked around to the others around him as they agreed nodding.

A sudden movement above from the powerlines occured as all six men looked up suddenly in confusion, watching as the powerlines begun to swing around by themselves wildly, spinning faster with each second before three of the lines snapped off, creating sparks with a great sense of energy in the air, a shape beginning to take form. A holographic cape came from the sky as it landed on Williams, his eyes opening suddenly looking down to a haze of green reflection and the pool of blood seeping from him rapidly.

A great blur came from the sky, almost like a comet as one of the men's heads became decapitated instantly. Followed by another succession to another of the men being cut in half horizontally. Another diagonally before a vertical slice was executed. Leaving only two men left. They watched in horror as the blur circled them like a Tornado, ignoring the death that was lying underneath them.

"....!"

(I really had no idea where I was going with this one, during the process I ended up making a short story from it, maybe if I come up with more ideas for the story possibly continue...)

The year is 3051. It is a dark and stormy night in the bustling city.

Detective Williams walks down a long, dim lit alley way that he believes may contain a lead to his current case. Half way down the alley is a bar with no name, however there is a neon symbol of the Libra scales that hangs above the automatic sliding doors, tinted to near black.

He enters slowly, brushing the drops of rain off his suit as his eyes scan the room quietly. The room is full of what appeared to be high-class businessmen and waitresses in skimpy black dresses. Williams seats himself by a table that is near the bar. He sighs as he observes the people in the room, not finding anyone of description to what he was told. He decides to order a drink to help pass time as it was only 11pm, still considered early for night life in this city.

Williams notions to a waitress as she walks over, "What can I get for ya hon?"

"Just a Gin, Lime and Soda." Williams replies, as he looks to her eyes.

"Sure thing" The waitress scribbles to her PDA. As she begins to walk away Williams blurts, "Uh, wait!" The waitress turns around, "Oh, something else?"

Williams holds two cards to the waitress, "I know this place has a reputation for information..." He pauses before the waitress cut him off, "It will cost you."

Williams really didn't want to blow his cover as an authority so he displayed near his thigh a package with unknown contents to which the waitress quickly took under her tray as she knelt down.

"I am after a person by the name of BlackBird, to my understanding so far, this person seems to be targetting high class Poker Players and after killing them, leaves their last winning hand on them...I believe if I can collect near a full deck, I can narrow down who he may target next..."

"...and how many cards do you have so far?" The waitress looked to him with a blank expression.

"30."

Experimenting around with Chibipaint. Not really sure if it's my cup of tea.

I was going through some old Beta tapes, and came across two video tapes of The Little Prince! Great series I watched while growing up, plus many, many more.

90's was the peak of Animation for both American and Japanese in my opinion.

Kids are missing out on so much these days with all that CG work garbage.
