it is amusing to draw emotes for an emotionless man

=================================

Listening: Jars of Clay - Flood
Random Quote: Sometimes, trying your best is still not good enough.
=================================

For the sake of trolling: IT'S A PIXIV YAOI MEME!!



... feels like I'm reverse-engineering "spot-the-difference".

And no, I can't draw "uke" properly either. I get hand cramps there.

it ish sho sparkly.

=================================

Listening: Kutless - What Faith Can Do
Reading: Eoin Colfer - The Legend of Spud Murphy
=================================

Old old artwork from like last semester. They were forgotten until recently.





Also, Y U NO LIEK ME, Photobucket? Cannot upload, then cannot resize, then cannot rename. Make me do everything in such a roundabout manner. D=

twitter!

=================================

Listening: (TWEWY OST) Leah - Calling
Reading: The Sunday Times election reports
Playing: The World Ends With You
=================================

I was following election news updates, so I created a twitter account. Then I got bored, so I drew a background for it.

Stoning on an oekaki.



Actually, drawing brainlessly is rather fun. I'll miss that when school starts again.

drawing in dim light

=================================

Listening: Usher ft. Pitbull - DJ Got Us Fallin' In Love
Watching: a spinning faggot Turntable of my incomplete model
=================================

not only does it kill your eyeballs, it is also seriously hard. Perspective errors, anatomical errors, off-model, amongst many others, all the time. Can't be helped, I cannot avoid time-consuming critique session held in a dark classroom.


Inspired by Granado Espada and Sound Horizon.



And ball-point pen is really made of win. Even though I made so many mistakes which cannot be erased, looking at a complete sketch salvaged out of a nest of mistakes is calming to nerves.

i am pissed off with so many things now...

=================================

Listening:(werk) Battle Moon Wars - Strain string
Reading: NisiOisiN and Akatsuki Akira - Medaka Box Chapter 90
=================================

... so here, a dump that looks like a dump.



Because Lamentable Nights is the only thing I am not pissed off with at the moment. It's my anti-rage.

do the dansen~!!

=================================

Listening: (werk) Battle Moon Wars - The Sword of Promised Victory
Reading: Shinohara Kenta - Sket Dance Chapter 133
=================================



One of the most diabetically annoying things I have ever done. CLICK FOR THE SWF!!

We wanted to, uh, learn to hate flash less. So I did fanart. Hur hur. It worked, sorta. Now get back to work!

i need something to cheer me up

I thought: we haven't scanned this, have we? But I was lazy to scan it, so we used the handphone camera.




And I hate Flash. Even more so than Max. That takes a lot. Or maybe, I just don't like our lecturer.

TT ^ TT I miss you, Illustrator. You too, Toon Boom.

assortment of (fan)arts [Fall 2010 Semester]

=================================

Listening: Far East Movement ft. Ryan Tedder - Rocketeer
Reading: The World God Only Knows - Chapter 127
=================================

When Saru gets stuck in a drawing-block, especially after too much storyboarding and environment painting, she draws random charas/fanarts. Because they're relaxing.




Drawn some time ago, but scanned last semester.

And back to Fall 2010 stuff.

Listening: Meiko & Kaito - The Pair Tree Witherer
Reading: Fairy Tail Chapter 207-209
=================================



I hate:

• CAT Rig
• 3DS Max
• Digipen

roleplay character portraits

=================================

Listening: Sound Horizon - Utsuku shiki Mono
Reading: Lamentable Nights: The RP
=================================

We restarted our RP at the NNK forums!! We're going reeeaally slow this round, making stuff clean and easy to follow. We have a user friendly wikia too!!

I tried to be funny this time, so I rendered these with Alias Sketchbook. (Yes, it is Alias, screw Autodesk.)


Varian Durer, my second PC, also a hidden character of sorts that will probably not show up at all, given the speed we are going at. (He also has a sister called Constance and a brother called Equates. Hail Mathematics!!)


My main PC. She's pretty much the same as in the previous failed RP. She's also an expy of an old character, Alex. So cute. =3 *sparkles*

i can't give a name to my emotion now

=================================

Listening: Detroit Metal City - Mesu Buta Koukyoukyoku
Watching: Birdy the Mighty DECODE 02 - Episode 12
=================================

I don't know, how to express myself. Much less expressing myself with drawings. I don't draw to express myself, I draw what I see in my head.



When I tried to express myself? We get this bad perspective thing.

"this does not look like your drawing"

, they said.

=================================

Listening: Rookiez is Punk'd - Complication
Reading: Arago - Chapter 22
=================================

(Ya, it is backdated because I forgot to post earlier.)

Drawn as a worksheet of sorts for the upper-primary kids at the SCC. I realise that Beta Centre (Upper Primary) have to be taught differently when compared to Alpha Centre (Lower Primary). Due to too much exposure to Singapore's educational system of too much technicality, too much note-taking and organised topic-by-topic learning. Thus the reason for making these notes.


Felice the witch. I haven't drawn her for a long time. =3 She looks adorable in this style too. XDD


Hawk. As expected of a character whose sight I found annoying the very first time I drew him. And it is rare for a parent to dislike his child, and for me to dislike a character I created. ~__~ But it seems, that his horrible personality have snuck it's way into my drawing again. I think I like him a little more than the Trollzaya. And that's not a lot.


Coloured, for fun.


Those kids first thought I downloaded it off the internet. I said, no, I drew it. Then they said it doesn't look like my drawing. =___= I told them that being an artist is my rice bowl, and knowing a few different styles would make me able to eat not just rice, but noodles, bread and pasta as well. Sssiigh, talking to kids makes me lamer.

Then they went, ah, you're a real artist. =___=

Rawr you little noobs, that's what I've been saying for the past @#$% hours. Though technically, I am not an artist. I am a draftsman. A digital artist. Illustrator. Yea, those.

i was digging about in my folders

... and I found this. Something I drew last year for something that didn't work out. But he's so cute. XDD

<3 the arm.



This piece is the result of my first time screwing about in Manga Studio EX. I didn't know a lot of things then, so I used a lot of wrong settings/tools/layer/etc. Looking back, I think that's why I am not using it now. >.< I too used to Photoshop I guess.

Pokemon Adventures x Durarara!!

=================================

Listening: Theatre Brook - Uragiri no Yuuyake
Watching: Durarara!! Episode 16
Reading: Pokemon Adventures Vol 32
=================================

I picked up an old manga I haven't read in years, because I was packing my room. And yes, it's Pokemon Adventures. And no, it is not childish. It is pretty much as good (or better?) than any other shounen series. Despite running in a children's magazine, the plot of this manga is rather mature. Stuff like violence and relationships. And the characters are adorable. <3

Speaking of adorable characters, that is one thing Narita Ryougo is really good at. First it was Baccano!!, then now, it is Durarara!! that has captured my heart. Shinra is so adorable. Celty too. Dojikko, as Shinra's dad calls her.

And now, the fanart. Or fan MAD video.

Shadow of the Caliphate

What it says on the tin. (Yea, I forgot to post until now. ~__~)

The animation project for Semester 3. All animations done in 3 weeks, but 4 people.



Man the monkey is just too sexy. Yeps, all of his scenes are done by me~

The Shepherd and his Sheep

=================================

Listening: Hillsong - His Glory Appears
Reading: Fairy Tail Chapter 166
=================================

It is a housewarming gift for woman who used to report to my dad. She is a single mother with two kids.



Drawing Jesus ate the most time out of me. I think I can somewhat understand how the writers of the bible felt like every time they had to write the letters "יהוה" (YHWH). Probably their hands shook, and got sweaty, and maybe worse.


EDIT: Divine revelation is divine. Half of her house walls were green!! It matched perfectly.

Saru is awesomely godlike-

=================================

Listening: Mizuki Nana - Dancing in the velvet moon
Reading: Fullmetal Alchemist Chapter 102
=================================

... because she is made in the image of God. =3

I saw the coloured scenes that I painstakingly animated. It looked awesome~ I must post it when our group finishes it.

And neeways, the final assignment for Photoshop class. I'm in the "ahh-screw-you-and-your-shitty-montage-methods" mode. I just want to paint something I like that looks nice, even if it is not whatever you want. (The usual: click for bigger.)



3D, also, was a mess. (God, I pray that we have saner lecturers next sem.)


I don't know why, but my Photoshop is lagshit today. Blast it. Something with colour profiles.
