As June Ends...

Can you believe it? We're finally entering the 2nd half of the year. Time flies so fast...

Here's a few stuff I've doodled from the span of my absence...

first ever downpour in the philippines for the year 2011 (5.18) me and eveth slept over at the office to finish the animation for a local channel's station ID.

and...this is one of funny stuff that happened that night after we've dried off... :)) sorry it's in tagalog.
L-R: Wes, Mitz, Ebet, Robin, Gabi, Noel...just ome sort of improvised cutesy lookbook thing.
something i drew while doing another all nighter -- finishing some touches on the station ID's animation i think...

And...I'm actually feeling a bit jealous of my drawing...so I'll leave you with that -- since that's all the files I have stored up at home (most of my works and doodles are at the office since that's where I usually do everything recently...).

Later, I shall head off to some exhibit held up by some trendy street-art/doodle gang called WeeWillDoodle at The Collective in Makati. Great way to spend the last day of June, no? I shall be posting some pictures once I get home. But first, I must have my beauty sleep. :) Adieu my loves! God bless.

P.S.

A song to lull us to sleep. :D

I'm...S-S-s-S-s-ss-Still Alive...barely

No just kidding. I'm alive and well.



Sorry for a month-long absence and lack of updates...I think my self-promised 'electron fasting' got too carried away and it forgot to include the very site I should really be fasting on -- Facebook. Urgh.

But anyways, as I was roaming about gathering inspiration and information so that I may be able to turn them into something worth the culmination of me and my friend's 'Evil Plan' mission.....(what the hell is it with me and rhyming?) I suddenly remembered that "Oh! I have a blog! And it's gaining cobwebs! The poor thing!" So here I am now...


trying to come up with an excu-- I mean...explanation as to why I wasn't updating as much as I used to. Well...not any good reason. I just have nothing to share with you guys yet. I know, I know...this blog was so full of promise earlier this year...and now it seems to have gone into a dip. And honestly the author is having a hard time going back up again with fresh artworks at hand. (EMOness.) Really sorry.


But know this, our 'Evil Plan' involves comic making. So basically me and my friend, Eveth are stirring something up that will hopefully hit the world wide web soon -- once we get our act together. For now...I think I must go to the wilderness and face myself and my God. Just like what Jesus, Elijah, Jonathan, Moses, Mary, Peter and those other cool dudes of the Bible did. To what wilderness...I don't know...it can be the nearest forest, or to the very depths of the forest within me.....[insert melodramatic musical scores here] who knows right?


Do pray that I get my act together...lots of sketches, concept art are piling up on my drive...so please, let me get myself fired up again, dear Daddy God. Sigh.


Well...that's all for now! See you guys!

P.S.
Fine. Here's some of our rough ideas that gave birth to the idea that 'Hey! We should make a comic about ourselves!!' Yeah...to be honest...we owe it all to Kung Fu Panda 2...haha. Why? Well because it all started with anticipation, wherein I decided that I should make a countdown for the premier -- which would be very interesting since we parallel the number of lead characters in the film (the Furious 5 + Po). So what the heck right?

7...this was drawn seven days before the premier. At first I wanted to do those single-shot portraits..but things got busy at the office...so I skipped.

3 days til premier. I drew the boys of our group. (lineart- me||colors- eveth)

2 days...(lineart- me||colors- eveth)

1 day left! It's our very own Po. Haha!
After all that, we didn't get to watch the movie on the premier date itself. (boo!) But Mitz, kept badgering me to do the 'piece de resitance' of this whole series...which eventually led to us brewing up an Evil Plan that is now in the pre-pre-production phase:

it was our very first mock-up poster. haha.
The entire thing still looks a bit too anime-ish. And we're trying to go away from that...but at least this gives us a generally-sort-of-vague-idea-but-hey-at-least-it's-still-an-idea kind of feel.

And there you have it, folks! Next time I'll be posting some of the stuff we've done so far regarding the whole production of this thing...toodles!
