My Artistic Pursuits...
August 31, 2008 - my first day of term break... and what did I do?Inspired by my very good friend, Daryl, and my fear/panic of forgetting how to draw people, I did this:
I know, it's cartoonish, and she's probably a cross of Tinkerbell, Daphne and some other cartoon characters. Plus, the coloring's kind of scribbly and it's only a headshot (I forgot how to draw hands. I need to practice!). But, I'm pretty happy with the result, since this was the first time I did everything using only my Wacom tablet and my laptop... She's probably my most "alive" digital artwork to date. Haha. My tracing's still kind of rough, but I'm sure I'll improve. I'll try doing my pencil sketches, and let's see what will happen with my digital art. ^^
P.S. I forgot to mention! I love her eyes (The shading, at least. The outline of her left iris is not that good... but I like the way her eyes "hit some light"). Hihihi. =P
P.P.S. Please give me any suggestion on what to draw. I need to do something that will get me to the next level! Haha.

My Cluttered Mind
My mind is so cluttered right now, I cannot make it process anything decent. I've just got too many thoughts to think about. (Woah. I sound incredibly redundant. =P) Anyway... summarizing my cluttered thoughts (Correction: I am not just redundant, but I am saying contradicting stuff. I am sooo ironic.):
*I've still got an informative speech about "Sagrada Familia" to finish! (due on Monday, Feb 11)
*Pisay the movie will be shown at "full-SM-cinema" glory on Feb 20 @ SM Cinema 6. (Endo will be shown at Feb 13)
*Can't wait for "Kite Runner" the movie! The movie hit US last Dec 2007, and I'm rotting to see the movie here in the Philippines...
*I need "Me" and "God" time! Tsk tsk. I need to learn how to budget my time.
*LEAP. Yey! Alternative classes! I signed up for the very underrated "Indie Sine"... I wish people would appreciate our independent films more...
*Filipino Weekly Journal Entry: "Ang papel ng pagsasalin sa debelopment ng Wikang Filipino." I wonder how I'm gonna write a reflection about this. ++ looky at the spelling of "debelopment". It *I'm so sorry to say* SUCKS. BIG TIME. Our language (Filipino) is incredibly deteriorating. Sa susunod, pupulutin na nga talaga ang Pilipinas sa kangkungan.
*Apo Hiking Society's Valentine's Day concert! Feb 22! Weee... some Filipino romance won't hurt, right?! ^_^
BTW, weeee. It's my first tablet scribble, thanks to my newfound gadget pal, Wacom bamboo fun. (Okay... I really think I'm sabog, sabaw, utak-toyo, bangag today.) Most likely I'll be scribbling more illustrations now. Yey. Till then!

Hopefully, this will be the last time I'll be making out using a trackpad... well, I need to figure out how this graphic tablet (Yey. I finally have one.) works first. hihihi. ^^
I hope this artwork is *sort of* an eye-candy for anyone reading this post. That is the farthest I've made when it comes to CG-art. (I tried so hard!) And yeah, it is unfinished. If you have a sharp-eye for details, (or maybe even just a medium-eye... hehehe.) you'll notice that few places have shadows, and the flowers on the headdress aren't detailed. I still do not have the guts to finish this artwork when it comes to shadows/shading. =P
Anyway... school has been okay. I just came from a discipleship camp yesterday. (Which is, btw, really motivates me right now to grow spiritually.) And... I actually hit somebody bull's eye on the forehead with a volleyball during PE class.
Life is good. ^^ I'm enjoying myself right now while there still aren't any mind-boggling exams along the way. =P

I am procrastinating... yet again.

Blame my laziness to the two days of no classes... Today, I did nothing but sleep all day. I have not even done my assignments for today. *sigh* I wish my "I gotta do this now" attitude comes back again... I need to get back to work soon (real soon)...

May manga
Why the title, you ask? Well... I just finished my latest artwork, which is.... Tada! A manga rendition of May from Pokemon! I'm so proud of this work. It turned out better than I expected. ^_^ Special thanks to Patrick for bearing my so-called kakulitan, and also for helping me improve this art through comments and suggestions. ^_^ I made this for 7 hours, and it sure was worth it. Hope you like it! ^_^
