Oh yeah, happy new year.

 

Inspired from Kate Beaton's pony...well actually it looks like i ripped it off from her cus it's such an easy fanart...and it's so cute. But yeah...all the awesome idea of that awesome pony comes from her. Looking at it still after all this years makes me laugh like it's the first time I saw it. You should check out her Hark a Vagrant! comics!

And also I heard that the color of 2014 is lavender.... .__. so...yeah...I think this is just fitting.
 
LOL. Anyway... Here's some new doodles to start the year right. :)

mmm girls.

Year Ender Post Especial~

Wow...look at me being the champion of neglect.

But to make up for it...I have been drawing a lot at least. So here's some eye candy....sorta.

2013 was...(still is) kind to me.

I've traveled twice this year -- climbed a mountain, rode an airplane after 5 years. Learned how to paint properly somewhat, met new friends, fell inlove and got heartbroken, grew up -- sorta, quit my job and a new one found me 1 month and 15 days later, and learns to draw better and better with each passing day. Finally has a PS3 bought by my own money, with the games also bought by my own money...and I can play all those that I've missed and catch up to them. Not to mention that I've participated in two live painting sessions and met new artist friends as well. It's amazing.

I may be single right now, but I'm happy. My child self is at least...and right now that's what matters. My core feeling complete, despite how selfish it may sound...but hey, it's my blog. It's supposed to be self-centered.

I'll try to make this a livelier blog once more next year. I still suck at lay-out. I don't know if I'll even understand HTML or CSS or...whatever's needed to make a blog pretty...but at least the content. We'll see.

For now, just have a happy holidays and a great new year ahead...despite the looming dark clouds peeking at the horizon. God bless us all.

Oh look! A Post!!!

korni ko. makuryente na sana ako ng gumana naman brain cells ko. hahaha. I gots this photo somewhere in google images.

[AUGUST 27]
I'm amazed I even managed to NOT wait a month before updating anything. Tumblr has ruined my attention span...srsly.

So...hello.

I'm a little proud. Little. Chos. I'm proud to say I'm sorta, kinda..maybe getting things in my life together now.

[EDIT/UPDATE:]
Apparently not...since I just said all those stuff because I finished a sketchbook. Right now, as I update this post...which is September 14, my life is still a mess, I'm unemployed, emotionally unstable still and just...lost.

That's it. Lost.

I have nothing else to add to that.

Here are some of the stuff I made the past few days I was gone. All of them are in tumblr. I got eaten alive by that place. Blogspot...save me...I need this.

SEPTEMBER so far:

Well...thank God for SnK. It somehow got me out of a rut. @___@ Haha! Yaaay.

Just Kids

In the end we’re just kids, finding someone to hug in the dark
When unexplainable fears creep into the heart and soul
And just the thought of you close to me puts them all back to their places.
In the sea of darkness, through the waves of the sheets
Hopefully someday we’ll find each other,
Anchored in the arms of one another.
But floating in infinite bliss. - Just Kids, written by me.

D'aaaaw. I made a thing. I hope the mushiness of my personal feels are enough to compensate for the lack of posts in this blog. Ahaha.

Hello July.

Gosh it's been so long. :|

I've been in a very long slump, obviously. Somehow blogging has been intimidating for me these days. I'm not doing it for the joy of it anymore but rather to please people and all that. Not to mention how preoccupied I've been with work. So much so that it keeps me from my personal works, that when I am free...a tidal wave of ideas come crashing into my mind I just freeze. It's awful.

But at least now I sorta have a gameplan. Because I can't pass up another month not making anything worth showing. So here are a few things I've been busy with...plus some extra fun stuff I managed to get done at work:

Some works I did from April to July...the stuff I forgot to post. LAWL.

Aaaand some more recent work:

Yep, I'm doing 3D now...aha! But it's not maya...just this cool program that's mostly for matte painters called VUE. It's pretty great considering how less technical it is, it's the perfect program for me in my opinion since it's that wonderful mix of techy/artsy where I don't really have to fuss much about and let my brain bleed from so much technological terms.

To end this update, I want to inform you, my dear blogfriends...that I'm now seriously bent on working on a comic by the end of the month! I'm pretty excited myself! Wheeee, here's the first artwork for said "SecretProject_01":

Serafine

She's a character that's been playing in my head for 3 years now. I'm just so glad to finally start on it. I have a lot of 3 year old ideas actually. Hehe, I guess 2010 was my inspired year after such a long dry spell. Hm, now that I think of it...it's only recently that I managed to come up with another personal story! I guess my Muse visits me once every three years. Haha.

Anyway, here's a little study notes on the drawing

...for this painting I kind of wanted to give off the vibe of seeing her from a balcony or the second floor of a restaurant, library, hallway etc. I personally like those “stolen" angled shots of people.
Also I was trying this effect in painting where only a part of the subject is focused while the rest is kind of blurred out — without using the blur tool nor gaussian blur effect. Still poring through Sir Gurney’s book ‘Color and Light’ :)

I don't know if I've mentioned this on my previous post, but I'm currently frequenting tumblr these days since I'm sketching more often than doing anything serious with my life. But expect something great this July. I'll make sure not to disappoint! Wooooooooooooooooooooo!!
