    I like it. It's got a nice ring to it, and a big middle finger to the 2010 as well.

    Actually, when his claws are fully extended, they are housed in his hands. Therefore the claws would follow the angle of where his hands are. If I understood your reply correctly. Just for the record, the sound they write is SNIKT. That was my geek 2 cents worth. Cheers.


    Here is the official explanation:Wolverine can, at will, release these slightly curved claws through his skin beneath the knuckles on each hand. The skin between the knuckles tears and bleeds, but the blood loss is quickly halted by his healing factor. Wolverine can unsheathe any number of his claws at once, although he must keep his wrists straight at the moment his claws shoot from his forearms into his hands. When unsheathed, the claws are fully within his hands, and thus Wolverine can still bend his wrists.

    Exactly... the claws are following his arms, not his hands, in that other pic.
    Sure he can move his wrists around after they're extended, but for a promo pic or an awesome posed shot it looks better if he keeps them in line with his arms.

    Your right it is CGI - that "pose" is a still from an action shot so they had no choice - can't use a prop for that. But that's not the real problem with the pic.

    The main issue is the shading they have done, and the lack of texture rendering. To make it look cool and metallic, they have made the back part of the claws quite bright and shiny, problem is, the rest of the shading for the back should be quite dark, or little lighting, with most of the room and ambient light being in front and above (look at Hugh to see what I'm talking about). As a result it looks "off". The other thing, is because it is an action shot, they dont' bother with trying to make it look realistic in texture - so it comes off looking drawn as it really is too smooth, and yet depsite what it is meant to be (metal), it is completely non-reflective of it's surroundings - which of course it wouldn't be - there should be levels of reflection. The whole shot is about seeing how cool the claws look and how awesome Wolverine (and High Jackman) is with him shooting his claws out - not about realism.

    Also, with regards to the angle issue - they have drawn them using the lines of the knuckles and spacing that way - and I would guess also, using the common look from the comics where the outer claws curve slightly. Of course his fist kind of bunches up his hand at the index finger giving that look and angled wrist your seeing, when in fact is wrist/hand is more than likely quite straight and in line with his arm. Also, dont' forget about the camera positon and perspective coming into play here too. You can see what I'm talking about if you follow the line from the backside (where the little finger is) of his hand.


    NOW who's the nerd?!?!?

    Paradisephoto - because I had to give up drums when I was 20, grow up and get responsible. So I turned to my other hobby, photography. I am also a part time wedding photographer, I had a business called paradisephoto at one point. Now that I am 40 (notice I didn't say now that I am grown up), I am getting back into drumming. This time, no parents to tell me when I can and can't play. I converted my kit to electronic, and with a set of headphones can play whenever I want. Well, at least when my responsibilities as a parent are taken care of...

    Okay...my screen name is one that I use on the Mazda car forums. I use to own a 2006 Mazda RX-8 rotary sports car (traded). Late8 stands for late model "8" as the car is often referred to as the "8". I carried my name over here since I bounce back from fast cars to cool drums.

    My friend Jerry started quoting alot from the simpsons, and one day he started going on about a packet of something that grandpa simpson picks up, can't quite remember what it was, but it said Mexican Council Of Food on the side and i thought it was catchy so I started using it as my screen name. I'm not really a simpsons head but I do like mexican food alot!

    My other screen name is PsychoKiller24601. I was in a play called Les Miserables in which the main character Jean Valjean steals a loaf of bread and gets sent to prison where his prisoner number is 24601, (oddly enough they make a joke of this in the simpsons too), later in the play he kills someone so i thought it would be funny to call him a PsychoKiller. Incorrectly, many people think it refers to the Talking Heads song. And while I do like the T.Hs I never heard psychokiller until after I came up with the name.

    Other screen names include.. Mammoth ,Mega-Mammoth, letmethinkagain and Colonel Sanders.

    Yeah i did to! I'm a huge Will Ferrell fan! I haven't missed a Talladega race since 1985 when my dad was carrying me to the races. We were there the day they were filming some of the race scenes with Ferrell. That was pretty cool to see. I was also at the Daytona race where they were filming some of the scenes for Days of Thunder which was also a pretty good Nascar related movie.

    I'm not trying to brag or anything but the most special thing that has happend to me as far as racing is concerned was when we traveld to Missouri to race there one weekend. Nascar drivers Ken Schrader and Carl Edwards was each in the same event i was in. Those guys are both very nice especially Schrader who offerd me some great driveing tips. To just be out there racing for position with those guys was a great feeling that i won't ever forget. I also have a cousin that races Late Models professionaly, his name Shannon Babb. If any of you guys ever watch the Late Model races on the Speed Channel he is always in field.

    Sorry guys i get a little carried away when it comes to racing. It's all i've done and been around my entire life. Geez i'd better quit or i could go on all day. This is a drum forum for crying out loud!!
