Identity

I will be drawing this as part of our project Identity.
This is the Ulster Banner/Red Hand of Ulster which is in the centre of the Northen Ireland flag.
I am going to be drawing this because my family are from Belfast, Northen Ireland.

(Family Coat of Arms)

I will be drawing my families coat of arms for my project, because this shows where my family came from and it is unique to my family because no other families coat of arms is the same as ours.



I have decided to draw Pikachu because when i was a kid i was a huge fan of Pokemon and also Pikachu was my favourite Pokemon.

Here is the review of It's a Trap

Here we have Family Guy with their third and final episode in a trilogy, parodying the final episode of Star Wars, The Return of The Jedi. This episode, while still funny, is at least to me, not as funny as Blue Harvest, the first episode,and certainly not as funny as the second episode, Something,Something, Something, Dark Side. Nor is it as clever or fast paced. It's still a good episode and there some funny and clever moments, but of the three, it's my least favourite, just as Jedi, is my Least Favourite of the original Star Wars films. However, I would still recommend purchasing the Family Guy Trilogy. I think it's worth it for episode one and two.all three of the episodes are longer than the broadcast versions.for me, Family Guy: It's a Trap is a 7/10

Animated character profile

GOW 3 Cole Train.png

Name: Augustus “Cole Train” Cole
Date of birth: XX years before E-day
Species: Human
Gender: Male
Height: 6’4
Hair colour: Black
Rank: Private
Eye colour: Brown
Hometown: Hannover (Germany)




Private Augustus Cole or Gus was once a successful Thrashball player known for his hard-hitting and flamboyant style. After Emergence Day, Cole joined the military as a Gear soldier, and brought that same "grit and intensity" to the battlefield, which saved his life more than once. Cole has spent most of his military career alongside his friend and foil, Damon Baird, as the two begin a new chapter in their lives. Throughout his career as a Gear, he has rejected every military promotion that has been offered under the grounds that having rank is not going to affect how many Locust he can kill. As part of Delta-One, Cole became part of the most reliable squad of Gears available to the COG, fighting on the frontlines of every major operation near the end of the Locust War. He struck up a friendship with Bernadette Mataki, and continued fighting for the COG as part of Delta after the relocation to Vectes, fighting Stranded Insurgents and the new threat of the Lambent Invasion.


Though possessing great physical strength, Augustus Cole is more than brawn alone. He is Delta Squad's official morale spark plug.  He offers timely and apt words in the heat of Delta's perilous mission.  Cole often finishes these outbursts with the word "WOO!"  Cole's bravery and determination make him the ultimate team player.


The baddest thrashball player on Sera is back. Augustus Cole has always been a fan favorite, and he's got a new look for the final installment. Here comes the Cole Train.
