Wolverine - Origins Trailer

2009 will bring us Wolverine - Origins, the story of the X-Men baddass, how it all began for this troubled hero. And why he is always in a foul mood. One of my top 5 favorite comic super heroes along with Batman, Spiderman, Flash and Iron Man... And my top favorite mutant, "Adamantium Claws Pops Out" cashingg...

Born in 19th century Canada to rich plantation owners, James Howlett grows into manhood on a mining colony in Northern Alberta, adopting the name "Logan", which is the last name of the plantation groundskeeper, Thomas Logan and his son Dog. Logan leaves the colony and lives for a time in the wilderness among wolves, until returning to civilization, residing with the Blackfoot Indians. Following the death of his Blackfoot paramour, Silver Fox, he is ushered into a Canadian military unit. Logan then spends some time in Madripoor, developing his "Patch" persona; before settling in Japan, where he marries and has a son. Source: Wikipedia.com

EoaX Header Evolution

This blog has been up since March of 2006, and from the K2 Black Template it initially came from has evolved numerous times since, the K2 Black template has been pulled out of the Blogger Templates Directory, but you can use it's alter ego K2 template because they're basically the same. Now I have a new lay out, probably not the last time I will rework this blog, so until then allow me to take you down memory lane, and witness the evolution of the themes with the remains of what this site used to crown itself with.

"a revolution in evolution"


The first header I made for this blog came from a picture taken of me and my friends during our roadtrip to Pagudpud, we visited a place called "Sand Dunes of Ilocos" where the picture was taken. Made up of composite images, simple type effects and filters rendering light effects. I was going for broody on the borderline of being Gothic.

"EoaX the gothic revival"


For my second header I went all the way Gothic, it's an image of an angel with ripped wings I found on the net, I would like to thank whoever uploaded it but I can't remember where I got it from, so I'll just say "thank you for this image and I really like your work." I used some tribal brushes I downloaded from brusheezy.com as accent and added some gradient styles for the text effect. For the theme I reused the original K2 Black color scheme of black and blue.

"Heath Ledger's "the joker" tribute"


As a tribute to The Dark Knight's "The Joker" (Heath Ledger's performance is a classic even if he did not live long enough to appreciate it. R.I.P. come to think of it his demise didn't make it more convincing dead or alive it's the best I've seen in awhile.) I got the image from deviant art's joker collection. This is a parody to "Why so serious?" line of the joker. As the contents of the blog started to turn for the morbidly serious concept reflecting the situations I was going through at the time.

That's it for now, this new lay out would probably evolve in a different direction, but as far as I'm concerned since it's already December of 2008 it's safe to assume that it will remain the same until the coming year. Give or take a few add-on's here and little bit there. Until my next post, thank you for coming. Don't forget to comment.
