Anything goes! (within reason). Check the rules if you’re not sure if it’s acceptable.

They’re a little tall for desktop backgrounds, but great for phones…

You guys have any favorite game artwork (or anything you’ve done yourself?)

I feel like Alex and I are going to be all over this post like white on rice.

Technically it’s not video game artwork, but the movie takes place in the same universe as the Arkham games.

This one is actually related to video games. Arkham Origins ftw :3

Annnd both of these are mine.

You’re really talented! Do you have any more you’re comfortable posting?

Thanks! I sure do! I’ve drawn a lot of Batman stuff lately, so xD Mostly The Joker though. Kind of a fangirl.

This one was for my school’s newspaper.

This is a reeeeaaaaally rough sketch.

Most definitely. I’m planning on going to school for Graphic Communications and design. (Which is a fancy way of saying advertising art.)

Well now I finally have an excuse to post some JPEGS!
The first is not mine, it’s from the awesome Jed Henry at http://www.ukiyoeheroes.com/. Pretty awesome stuff!

Here are a few decidedly less awesome things from me, because the universe is cold and unfeeling and maybe if I post some of my crap the Major will post some of hers (she does armor like a BOSS).

Hotcrapdamn that japanese-style stuff is AWESOME. That samus…like..I can’t.

Your stuff is ALSO awesome, though! Again, i think the Samus is my favorite. >_>

That Samus from Ukiyo-e heroes is so rockin’! We bought one of the giclee prints of it. He’s done more since then, including an awesome ronin-looking Solid Snake!

As for mine, I got a little weary of sexy Samus pictures, so I wanted to try my hand at something a little different. Also I have some kind of a Samus problem.

“We do not know pity, even for you!” -Udyr

Okay, so Udyr is a martial artist, like Chun Li, but he’s a bit more of an upper body powerhouse than she is, and his techniques are basically all hand-oriented.  So, we’re going to build solid upper body and core strength, with good speed and explosiveness, and we’re gonna turn our legs into a rock-solid base to build our techniques upon.

Udyr also has solid cardio, able to move quickly in bear stance, and keep a sustained fight going while in turtle stance, so we’re going to be doing a cardio plan that’s kind of a cross between Chun Li and Ezio Auditore. For diet, I would definitely recommend going with the Fighter Diet outlined last week.  Udyr is big, but that comes mostly from his frame, he’s not an incredibly bulky fighter like Donkey Kong.  That said, you can up the weight and intensity of the workout and switch over to the Big Guy Diet, if you do want to pack some solid muscle on.

Also, make sure you always warm up before exercising!  I did a video tutorial on how to warm up properly, so check it out!

So, without further ado, onto the workout!

Equipment Needed:

Heavy Rocks/Logs

Hand Dumbells

Backpack for Books/Rocks(I use this army surplus bag[referral link])

A Hill
(if possible)

A Local Park or Forest

Cardio:

Level 1(beginner): 20 minutes brisk walking, preferably through a forest or park with elevation changes and small obstacles. 10 minutes jogging/walking, alternating with one minute of walking, and one minute of jogging.  Do this up and down a hill if you can.

Level 2(moderate):

20 minutes of walking/jogging, start at one minute of each, and gradually decrease the walking ratio while increasing the jogging. Again, much better if you can do it in a forest/park with varied terrain and obstacles. 10 minutes straight of jogging up and down a hill.  Find a steeper incline or longer hill to increase your challenge.

Level 3(advanced):

20 minutes of jogging over varied terrain. 10 minutes of hill sprints.  You’re going for time, now, so try to squeeze as many hill sprints as you can into that time.

Level 4(beast spirit):

30 minutes of jogging over varied terrain.

15 minutes of hill sprints.  Same as before, with an extra 5 minutes tacked on.

Strength:
Level 1(beginner):
3×5 Pullups(palms facing away from you), chair-assisted if necessary. 3×10 Bodyweight squats

3×5 Chinups(palms facing towards you), chair-assisted if necessary.

3×10 Pushups 3×10 Unweighted good mornings 3×10 Pike shoulder press 3×10 Cross punch crunches(no dumbells)

3×10 Oblique crunches 

Level 2(intermediate):
3×10 Pullups(palms facing away from you) 3×10 Front squats holding a heavy rock, log, or book-filled backpack.  No exact weight, just start low and increase as you feel comfortable.  Remember to keep your back straight and your weight on your heels.

3×10 Chinups(palms facing towards you)

3×10 Pushups(with 10 lb backpack) 3×10 Good mornings(with 5lb rock, log, or backpack) 3×10 Pike shoulder press(with 10lb backpack) 3×10 Cross punch crunches(with 5lb dumbells)

3×15 Oblique crunches

Level 3(advanced):
3×10 Pullups(with 10 lb backpack) 3×10 Front squats holding heavy rock, log, or book-filled backpack.  Same rules as before.

3×10 Chinups(with 10 lb backpack)

3×10 Pushups(with 20 lb backpack) 3×10 Good mornings(with 10 lb rock, log, or backpack) 3×10 Handstand pushups(do these against a solid wall) 3×10 Cross punch crunches(with 10 lb dumbells)

Level 4(beast spirit):
3×10 Pullups(with 20 lb backpack) 3×10 Front squats holding heavy rock, log, or book-filled backpack.  Same rules as before.

3×10 Chinups(with 20 lb backpack)

3×10 Pushups(with 30 lb backpack) 3×10 Good mornings(with 15 lb rock, log, or backpack) 3×10 Handstand pushups(do these against a solid wall) 3×10 Cross punch crunches(with 15 lb dumbells)

3×30 Oblique crunches

Schedule:
Day 1: Strength workout
Day 2: Cardio
Day 3: Strength Workout
Day 4: Rest
Day 5: Strength Workout
Day 6: Cardio
Day 7: Rest

Tips: -Remember, it’s more important to get the number of sets in, rather than the number of reps and cut the sets.  I’d much rather you do three sets of five than one or two sets of ten. -This is a pretty brutal schedule.  If you find yourself fatigued, don’t be afraid to take an extra day of rest, or try doing all your leg exercises on one day, and all your upper body exercises another. -Eat good food, drink lots of water, and sleep!  Sleep is SO important!  If you really want to get into the Udyr attitude, try sleeping outside on a warm night!

-Listen to your body.  You are responsible for you.  If you push yourself too hard and injure yourself, I’m not responsible, you have only yourself to watch out for you.  As I said, this is a good workout, if your body says “Ow!” LISTEN TO IT.

That’s it for today!  Remember to like the blog on Facebook, and follow me on Twitter, so you stay updated on the blog’s progress!(I post some cool stuff sometimes, too).  Tomorrow we’ll take a look at some of the skills of Udyr. Until then, continue to be awesome!
