Riding on the Poisoned Earth

I posted this to my deviantART two days ago, and I thought I'd share it with you all on my blog here today: 

(I was amazed to find that someone had already 'favourited' it, only a minute and thirty-six seconds after it was posted) http://zozzmeister.deviantart.com/

Part of another scene-by-scene, as I call them, that I did for Studio Ghibli's: Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind... 


I was really moved by the messages it contained about the balance of nature and the destructiveness of mankind. We all have the power to do good or bad in our lifetime, but no matter what path we choose, the only thing that truly matters once we're dead and gone is the impact we had on human civilization as a whole while living which will last and continue to survive even after death. This isthe common goal for all humans, regardless of race, gender, ethical background, etc., that unites us together as one human race. 


However, this movie is the grim portrayal of what may come into being due of our self-centered actions in life. In our pursuit for success, it is important for us not to forget the mother land, the one that feeds and clothes us with all life's desires and offers us a safe and stable place to live.


Do not let the desires of a single species cripple the planet and rob her of her precious treasurers in only one lifetime. We can do far better than that. 
One generation should never spoil it for the rest.

This film gives me a gentle reminder of just who's roof we live under. As my mother always told me, "as long as you live in this house, you gotta live by our rules." And I just wonder, what does that mean for the state of the planet, if who's rules we were to break? 


It's just a thought, but it bothers me deeply. 
I would watch this movie again in a heart beat!


*I really want to read the original manga version of this.  Anyone know where I can find a copy?  
Perhaps I'll try chapters... 

Content For Next Week

One of the things that I had thought about in my massive "realization" I talked about in my second-last post was the fact that I want to venture into different medium with my internet postings, so I am now preparing myself to do just that.
Just in case you haven't already noticed the image-link I attached to my blog quite recently, I have now grainted you all access to my deviantART~!!!  It's true; I actually fallowed through with what I said I was going to do and, on a whim, began tinkering around with deviantART, and I have to say I love it!  

Check Out My T-Shirt!
(Vote For It HERE!!)

As one of my challenges I had brought upon me this week, I forced myself to work alongside the watchful ticking of the clock and produced a T-shirt for the deviantART: Cute Monster's contest.  (If you want to check it out, click here.)  I will have more info on how I came about doing the T-shirt in one of my upcoming posts this week, so stay tuned if you would like to see how I did it.

Also, on another note, I have now decided that one of the mediums I want to delve into this year is, in fact, doing reviews.  I found that I really like to talk about all of my different interest.  So, rather than have me insert random blurbs of these into my art-related post, which have nothing to do with whatever the thing I feel about mentioning is (most likely a video game or anime), I have now decided to reduce the amount of anime/nintendo-fan outbreaks by sectioning off these interests into their own individual fan-dedicated posts in the form of reviews. :)

*[Expect Art, Manga, Anime & Nintendo reviews to start flooding in sometime next week!]

Next week is spring vacation for me, so I hope to ramp-up my production of art again as I will have a lot of time at my disposal.  I will try to put my artistic abilities to good use!
