I'm all about 9.

To restate what I've been saying for the past 2 weeks, I love the world Shane Acker has created. In the movie, the characters could maybe have used a little more development, but the visuals and storyline was amazing. I now understand how my sister could've been so obsessed with Princess Mononoke a few years back.

5 is one of my favorite characters (well; since there are really only 9 characters to begin with, there aren't many to choose from) so I drew him in my sketchbook and finally got around to scanning him. I am really rather proud of this drawing, even if the hands aren't that great and it's not colored.




























If that image messes up, I uploaded it to deviantArt here (be sure to click on the image so that it's full size, it looks bad when it's downsized.)

AND. I found another trailer (although I may have linked to it in my very first post about 9) that has a part that is both happy and sad, for me anyways. It is here and the part I speak of starts at 1:37 or so and lasts for about 11 seconds.

Also; at the beginning of the aforementioned trailer, the Scientist says (and I think he said this in the movie too):
We had such potential,
Such promise.
But we squandered our gifts.
And so,
9
I am creating
you.

Our world is ending.
But life
must go on.

These words made an impression on me for some reason.
I don't quire know why.
