Moving Forward.

To anyone still reading or dropping by here or even by accident or first timers,

I’ll be putting this place on permanent hiatus. To mark this time in my life, i will be moving to another blog, of which address i shall announce later on.

Later today, they will officially launch Bloggerboy and i will see my artwork on the big screen before it airs on national TV on the 28th of May. It feels utterly unreal, especially as i’ve felt somewhat detached from this project since all i ever saw were scripts. It’s been one heck of a rollercoaster ride and now all i want to do is claw my way to retrieve those first few comic pages i did for them and REDO them all again (my OCD speaks. At the press con, you can spot me easily as the one with her head buried in the ground ala ostrich) before it airs!!

Later this month, i will have my last day in my job. I will move on to helm my own business and the editorial team for a pioneering arts magazine. It will bring me places and enable me to meet all kinds of people and gain more experience than i can ever learn in art school. It will be hard work, it will be painful work, it will be trying work, but it will WORK.

This is a season of beginnings for me, of many risks and sacrifices. What it also means is i need to progress artistically; Bloggerboy was the only thing that kept me drawing the past half year or so. To be absolutely honest, i haven’t had any proper me-time for a YEAR already. Once again it has become a choice of powering-up my own art or empowering others art… and anyone who knows me well would know i would jump at the latter.

Another thing. I will hide no longer. I am past the time of secrecy and mystery and whatnot; beyond caring what you may glean from what i reveal online. Because i have surpassed them and I’m in a place they’ll take years to reach. Or never reach. You-know-who-you-are, i have nothing to say to you because i have been saying them to you for years, caveats and advice alike, and now i leave you to see what you have refused to hear. Watch me, because i won’t have the time to look back to where you are anymore.

Eat. My. Dust. = )

I will bring my work, my pride and my joy, my sweat and tears, into the light.

PS: wow, this is like my second ever actual blog post in the sense that it serves its purpose of being emotional, spontaneous and karma-inducing. But damn do i feel good writing this.

Cheerios, peeps.

Fast fast do

After drawing so many dudes for Bloggerboy i feel a slight paranoia that i may have forgotten how to draw women. i think that paranoia is somewhat justified T-T

30 minutes.

“…Ara.”

Went digging in my HD and found these, erm, belated works that i completely forgot about! The one on the left even has the background completed! On the right is a random quick drawing of Kusuriuri whom i was crazy about at one point (sakuraaaaaai).

Do disregard the previous post. Sometimes i forget this is an ARTblog.

Cheers, peeps.

And what could this possibly mean?

I’ve been waiting for the dude with the unsecure line to turn on his wi-fi the whole weekend and now that he finally did, i don’t know what exactly to do.

I’ve been meaning to stay late nights finishing my freelance, yet i slept through all of it except this one night and its not for my freelance.

I’ve been meaning to put pieces together and put them in pictures to tell him what i can’t say, yet i’ve only managed to put the puzzle together now that we’re almost over.

I’ve been missing the dejavu feeling of getting a picture done right, yet as i draw the lines of this picture for him i feel it again and know this will turn out a masterpiece.

I’ve been using Painter for 4 years and it has never failed to save a file, yet this night as i draw this picture for him it fails to save and the entire file is corrupted.

I spent the last hour trying in vain to open a corrupted file.

I feel like crying.

This is probably going to screw me up more than he ever did. But i think he would understand why; we both believe in symbolism… and what could this possibly mean?

So here’s to you, my brief encounter, and what will never be the interpretation of the beauty i saw in us.

Capricious

It’s unifinished but i love it. There’s going to be so much more in here. This might as well be just a thumbnail for something bigger.

I’m a Capricorn and proud of it. It is undeniable that a lot of my character traits personify this horoscope, much as i am a sceptic.

Typing with a bandaged finger is awkward.

for Mister Poe

NEVERMORE!

I’m gonna get ya.

I do not own the moon,

The whisper of the shadowed leaves

Were never mine.

I do not possess the maroon,

The brickwork wall’s rough hewn creases

Were never mine.

Even he is not mine to claim,

Created by my hand but crafted by a mind

That was never mine.

Misogynistic

*waves nervously* Erm… hi. This is all i have for now. I will be busy until next year. Okay, i will be busy until 2010. No, possibly for the next 10 years. Doesn’t matter… i’m having fun ^ ^

Intergalactic Pizza Girl at work because i was bored.

More pizza boxes! All stacked up! Kidding, they’re books or glass panes, i haven’t decided.

I’m not really sure what i was attempting here. All i know is it somehow makes more sense downside up.

Stylo

Uh… monozuke?

Dug up some clothes related stuff. These here’s combi’s i want to own irl. Pretty old stuff, however, ankle boots acquired recently! And more fashionable than i’d imagined XD

Something in my head for the Mafia Shoot my foundation peeps were planning. I realise its three main elements of mafia style; the hat, the tie, the attitude. I NEED TO FIND A REBORN HAT!

If i could skate…

Hurm debating if i should post up my character sketches. I revised almost all my old characters circa 2002 to 2006 and now they’re finally looking like how i imagined them! Some turned out awesome! *happiness*

Next round perhaps.

OMG Nostalgia

So i found these in the dregs of my faithful HD and wow does it bring back memories.

Oh. My. Gosh. This was like, what, circa 2002-2003?? I used to be embarrassed looking back at old works but now i just feel amused. This was actually an original epic story (which i can still slightly remember, he was so enthusiastic in the telling of it) by a good pal of mine (still is) so…

HERE’S TO YOU V-I-C-O!!

I still remember us sitting in the library and him relating the story to me… and i could see everything on paper. However, i only got as far as 2 pages and several character sketches yet he was pretty excited about it which in turn, made me happy ^ ^

Wow, epic disproportion but hey, we’ve all been there once huh.
