"enter the wired" Character Design

2009-07-09T01:40:00.003+08:00

Character design for my FYP. I never posted my ideation and progress for my character here, just to surprise everyone, haha XD.

I'm lazy to elaborate much, since most people doesn't give a damn what I'm ranting anyway. The youtube video is a turn-table render for my character, nothing special to show, and no audio by the way.

Texturing And Lighting

2009-06-13T00:08:00.004+08:00

Wahaha, the showcase yesterday was a success. Able to meet up some great companies along the way. My work are not so impressive in a sense, especially if you judge it from overall. But they seems to be impress by my level of detail. I'm quite happy and pretty much gain some confidence about my skill after the feedbacks from the showcase. But like most pro artist said, "never satisfy or you'll never improve".

Anyway, this is the progressed stage of my FYP from my last 2 post. Nothing much to explain, except the fact that I change the light settings a bit and adding texture (skin) to my plain objects. As usual, clicky for larger image.

Welcome to MMU FYP Showcase 2009

2009-06-09T01:04:00.002+08:00

Enough said, like my title stated, there will be a portfolio showcase featuring the best work from my faculty, Faculty of Creative Multimedia. It'll be held in this coming Thursday, 3pm in e-Gallery, our faculty's unique art gallery. And whaddaya know, my work is included in it, yay!!

Do come to the show. There's nothing much to brag about my work, but there'll be a bunch of impressive work from my batch and you can see all sorts of variety, from websites to booth design, from 2D application to 3D application, and do not forget the works that MMU most proud of, the film and animations of FCM.

Catch us there!!

The Modeling Outcome Plus Lighting

2009-06-07T23:46:00.004+08:00

Sorry for the delay. Being lazy recently, life after FYP :P. Here's the modeling outcome of my FYP. If you do not consider the design process (research, sketch, draft, etc.), this stage is consider the first of 3D process. But I have the tendency of working my lights during the early process, which in most cases is the last stage of 3D.

I like to do my light during early stages and then adjust it bit by bit along the way. Light is one of the important essence. It creates believable shadow, tone, and mood to the surrounding. My modeling skill are not that superior, so I have to rely on my texturing and lights to cover up my flaws.

Below are some pictures taken from my FYP blog (don't bother reading it unless you are really curious) Some of these pictures are my dropped ideas or incomplete version of my modeling. Well, the initial idea spent (or wasted) too much of polygons, and the incomplete version was for the sake of submission. That pretty sums up my first stage.

FYP Promotional Poster

2009-06-03T01:30:00.001+08:00

Here's a poster for my FYP showcase, except the watermark is not present during the original version. During the showcase, it was printed on an A1 board, which... kinda big and cost me a fortune. The poster ended up on my lecturers' hands and I was reluctant to hand it to them. Anyway, I'll be posting my FYP work here. In case I'm lazy, I'll just post my final outcome here. So pray that I'm not.

There are some copyright issues and stuff, so please do not take my work in any case, just to avoid trouble. All works belong to me and Multimedia University. Do approach me directly if you are interested in me or my works :D. Just leave a message here and I will reply.

Again, yes, I'm taking this whole copyright shit seriously as I'm venturing into the industry. No offence intended, so welcome, sit back, and enjoy. Thank you.

I'm Back

2009-06-03T01:20:00.000+08:00

Yes, I'm back. I've been away so long and got a bit rusty.... in writing blogs. It was unpleasant period of my life during past few months. I was rushing my FYP, and then gotten news that my dad was diagnosed with cancer, until he made his trip to heaven, and again trying to catch up my FYP progress, until my final exam paper and moving out the next day after that.

But nevertheless, I have a bunch of great friends beside me, holding me up when I fell, making me forget unhappy stuff. It was tough, but maybe because of that, I'm able to see how true my friends were, and how lucky I am.

Here, I would like to thank my hometown friends who had been there for me when my dad moved on. I like to thank my faculty-mates who were by my side as well when I return to uni. My CB housemates who came all the way from cyberjaya to attend my dad's funeral, and lighten my world when all was dark. Finally I like to thank my coursemates, the VR-ians, who helped me through my FYP, whom I spend my last few weeks of uni-life together. We slept, work, ate, laugh and played together. It was cool, it truly was. I hope my gratitude would become our eternal friendship.

Tribute to VR-ians: Halfway through my journey in VR, I have doubt my choice of majoring, due to the lecturers, syllabus and system. I have friends that told me I was more suited for other majoring and I thought it was somewhat true. Even till the end of my uni life, I never thought VR was the best suited course for me. But there was something which kept me from feeling regret, and it was you guys. Being with you guys has made my uni life far more interesting and livelier. Although it was slightly late when we get to know each other, but that short moment was truly memorable. I never had a graduation trip in my life and going Pangkor with you guys had fulfilled that. Quoted from Baha, because you guy sucks, it was most enjoyable trip I had. I faithfully treasure that very bond we had and hope we could get in touch always. Goodbye and all the best pak pezes!!!

Sound Horizon: Elysion~ Stardust [手描きMAD]

2009-03-30T11:04:00.003+08:00

Well, it's been awhile since I posted something here. I've been through a lot of shit lately which kept me from updating my blog.

Anyway, here's something interesting for everyone. Though be reminded, it is not done by me. I sort of did the translation though, so please ON your Youtube annotation to see the translation/subtitles.

You can call it an "Anime PV" done by a skillful amatuer (or an animator) for one of the songs from the album "Elysion" by Sound Horizon. For the album, it tells the story of a masked man and 5 girls. "Stardust" is one of the songs and it tells the story of one of the girls.

The guy (I do not know who it exactly it was) did a very good job as he (or she) manage to do a great animation, with skill and style, to match the great song.

Basically, the song is about the heroine (StarDust) who was once living happily with her boyfriend. One day StarDust was wearing all red, with bouquet on her left hand and "promise" on her right, trying to meet her lover. However, she saw him walking fondly with another woman. Hence she snapped during the night and (her split personality) killed her lover. When she finally regained her senses, she realised what she's done and regret for her action, thus killing herself in the end.

Well, all the stories told in this album "Elysion" can be describe as pitiful, perhaps to the point of sickening. Yet, the story is no doubt nicely told, the songs and the story were both great. If you are into Jap-style musics, or specifically anime sort of musics, this album is highly recommended.

Aikido Club T-shirt

2009-02-13T18:07:00.006+08:00

Been lazy recently, that's why I don't seem to update my blog. Hibernation period...

Here's another stuff I did... or dragged... for months. It's the t-shirt design for my aikido club. The president been nagging me for months and I'm still lazy to do it. Well, serves him right since he's been treating me like a free labourer.

Credit to all the artist behind PS2 game Okami.

A lil' explanation. The theme of my t-shirt is mostly based on Japanese calligraphy and wood block printing. The clouds on the front side symbolises heaven (as in heaven and earth). The spiral on the back symbolises "flow", with some sakura petals. And the logo, it was not design by me but rather my seniors generations ago. It is the symbol of one of our basic technique, irimi nage.

Revo X Yuki Kajiura: Dream Port 2008

2009-01-23T00:07:00.008+08:00

Two of my favourite composer, Revo of Sound Horizon and Yuki Kajiura has collaborated to compose this amazing song, 砂塵の彼方へ (Sajin no Kanata e). The song has surfaced for quite awhile and I heard of their collab, only to actually listen recently. I was totally blown away by this amazing song and can't help repeating it for god-knows-how-many-times XD.

Ahem, a lil' introduction~~

Revo is the guy that started the band "Sound Horizon". He composed a lot of great songs, with each album telling a story, each song telling a chapter of the story. The members of his band (or group?) always comes and goes, with few recurring members who stayed by his side for few albums. I can describe him as multi-talented, being able to play guitar, keyboard, accordion, and even composing and arranging songs. Crap, he even got a bunch of ladies surrounding him throughout his career (YUKI!!! XD).

Yuki Kajiura is a famous female composer for a lot of anime hits. She has work alongside with few other famous band such as FictionJunction and Kalafina. Not much I know about her, just that I listen to her songs and like it very much. You can just wiki her profile if wanna know more.

Well, during the final part of the song where only the guy and the lady sings together, that's Revo and Yuki.

FYP WIP

2009-01-12T03:22:00.001+08:00

Another few scenes from my FYP. Like my previous scene, it's just the first stage of modeling and texturing, the details are not there yet. Heck, I'm getting fed up working on my FYP anyway.

FYP Concepts

2009-01-05T03:49:00.001+08:00

Some FYP concepts. The first two are thumbnail sketches, which is pre-finalize concepts. The following images are detail (sort of) concept of my in-scene objects.

2009

2009-01-01T14:55:00.000+08:00

Another year comes and goes. Be noted that this post is not written on Jan 1st but the date was set to be Jan 1st instead. Anyway, it was an interesting year, stuff happens here and there. And finally I manage to put more effort and time into improving my art skills.

Let's see what happened to me in 2008. 21st birthday, being screwed by lecturer, started my intern, being rejected, best friend study abroad, hang around alot with my high school friends, beijing olympics, ended my intern, got a bunch of cool mags and artbooks, started my final year of degree, being screwed by lecturers again, celebrate new year :D.

Another year, another goal. When look back on the 21+ years I spent, there are bunch of regrets and blessings nonetheless. Well, I think I should list out here, just to rant a bit ^^.

Top 10 Regrets

1. Never study abroad
2. Never had a girlfriend
3. Took my friends for granted
4. Chose the wrong majoring
5. Met my fucking housemates
6. Stopped my art classes during highschool
7. Being sort of nerdy during highschool
8. Never had the resolve for self-improvement until recently
9. Never active in clubs during university days
10. Never celebrated my 21st birthday =_=

Top 10 Bessings

1. Met my highschool friends
2. Met my best friend
3. Studied in MMU
4. Took the path of an artist/designer
5. Met my fucking housemates again (life is a paradox, crap...)
6. Able to get an amount of study loan
7. Found what I love (to do) early on
8. To have no disabilities (I think :P)
9. Born in a mediocre family
10. Being a boy scout (was)

Well, that's pretty much of it. Anyway, I have a deadline set to myself during end of this year. Miyamoto Musashi, my idol, became a saint swordsman when he was age 22. And so, I need to become godlike artist by end of this year. And of course like I mentioned earlier, hopefully my blog would get 5000 hits as well. For my results... Erm, I pretty much don't give a damn about it ^_^, except that hopefully my FYP would get honourable-mention-sort-of... honour... during the end.

The rest of my wishes, a good health, a happy graduation trip, and never forget, to have a kick-ass girlfriend, RAWR!!!

That's all, Happy 2009.

Progress + FYP

2008-12-31T16:46:00.004+08:00

Sorry for being away so long. I've been very busy with my final year project (FYP) nowadays, until I don't even have time for my own personal project. Anyway, to update abit, I'm kinda messed up recently (sort of) as things doesn't really work out so good. Hmmm... Frankly, I do not know what to say or bitch/rant about, except that my course is kinda shitty (more shitty than ever) and I'm dying to graduate in another half a year.

By the way, for the period I've been missing, I did realise my blog has hit a thousand views. I wanted to make (draw/3D, whatever...) something for the visitors that came and supported my blog for the past few months. But you know, me with all the shits around... My blog wouldn't make it so far without all of you. So, a bunch of thanks to all of you. Getting a thousand hits within half a year is quite a feat and I'm proud of it. If things go well, hopefully my blog would reach 5000 hits in another year.

Okay, I bet most of you don't EVEN bother reading the crap I wrote, so I will be posting my recent courseworks here. For my FYP, I'll be doing a game-sort-of-thing. These pictures are the 1st 3D stage that I've done. Of course improvisation and more detailing will come later. My theme or story will be revolving on a futuristic sci-fi setting, with "cyberpunk" as central theme.

As a side note, although my work came out kinda impressive (wahahaha) considering I did all this in 2 days, it is still far from the industry standard. For my final outcome, I will try to achieve the quality of the recently-famous PC game, "Dead Space". Below are some screenshots of the game.

Well, that's all for now. Will be posting more of my FYP progress and the stuff I did previously on here sooon

2D vs 3D

2008-12-03T03:12:00.005+08:00

It seems that I have a bunch of friends who do not know what I'm actually doing or can't differentiate between 2D and 3D digital arts, especially my lui-bing-mui-mui (clumsy little sister). In this post, I will explain the things that I'm doing right now and will be doing in the future.

The field I'm studying right now or I'm going to venture has strong connection to what we call "digital arts". Rather calling it "connection", you can say what I'm doing are exactly digital arts. The term "digital arts" is referring to artworks done digitally in both 2D and 3D form. IF you do not get what "digital" means, basically just imagine artworks done in computer, that's "digital art".

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

For 2D arts, there are "vector" and "bitmap" art. I won't go into details about the difference between vector and bitmap, it needs hell lot of explanation. Well, when it comes to 2D art, it USUALLY refers to digital painting/drawing/sketching. In 2D art, the workspace that we are dealing is just coordinate X and Y, which means width and height. Be it a realistic drawing/painting, a cartoon, caricature, landscape, etc., as long as the art is done in a flat surface with only coordinate X and Y, that's 2D art. Examples? Classical Disney cartoon like Snow White, Lil' Mermaid, Warner Bros. Bugs Bunny, are all 2D.

Here are some samples on how I work in 2D:

My previous artwork painted in Adobe Photoshop CS3 (clicky to enlarge)
I've mark the X and Y coordinate in RED for your better understanding

Another artwork painted in Corel Painter 9

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

For 3D arts, there are still images, animation, games and so on. The difference with 2D? It has depth and space. The coordinates involve are X, Y and Z. Usually when we do 3D arts, we do not "draw" it. "Draw" is not a correct term for it, rather we call it "model", sort of like "Hey, what creature are you modeling for your assignment?".

When it comes in working 3D, there are 3 main stages, "modeling", "texturing" and "rendering". "Modeling" is where we create the shapes or form for our object, sort of like "sculpting" our masterpiece. "Texturing" is where we apply the "skin "for our object, giving it colours, texture and so on. While "rendering", we set up the necessary light source in the 3D space, setting up the mood of environment, and finally processing our 3D art into images or animation.

Examples of 3D arts are such as Pixar's Wall-E and Finding Nemo, which has a cartoonish approach or style. Animation like Final Fantasy: Spirit Within is also a 3D art/animation (duh), with a realistic approach. Well, those uber gay landscape you saw in Lord of The Rings trilogy are done in 3D as well and it's an art/masterpiece in it's own right.

And here are some samples on how I work in 3D:

A 3D art I'm doing for my cute lil' sister (and myself) in 3D Studio Max
Again, I've mark the coordinates in RED for you to understand the "space" I'm dealing.

Another close-up.

Well, my post is kinda long this time. There are a lot of detail stuff that I haven't explain yet. IF you still don't get what I'm saying (which has something to do with your IQ), or you are interested in the "details" that I mentioned, do look for me and I'll gladly show you how I work XD.

Rant And Bitch 1

2008-11-27T04:13:00.003+08:00

As most of you see, initially I created this blog just to dedicate to arts and design. Rarely (or almost none), I'll enter some journal about my daily life and treat it as a diary, which most bloggers like to do. But sometimes, some stuff just get to you and pisses you so much that you wanna rant and bitch about it. So, here are the things I'm gonna bitch about in my first "Rant And Bitch Series".

Alright, I'm studying in Cyberjaya, far from my home, renting a house with 9 other assholes housemates. Truly those guy are assholes, but we had a lot of fun because WE ARE assholes. Now recently, we applied a 4mbps internet connection which is uber fast and share among the 10 of us. As you see, there's 10 of us, and each has their own interest and personalities. Some like to play online game, some like to stream, some like to download porn, and some like to download resources.

Here's the thing, I like surfing net, I like downloading resources, and occasionally I play online games. I understand how suck it is when you lag when playing games. So usually I close my downloads OBEDIENTLY when my housemates are playing games and I don't fucking complain when they close it when I'm not around (even I do complain, I'm just joking around as an asshole). What I don't get it is that they play those fucking online games for the whole fucking day, like they don't have any fucking better things to do. AND so, my downloads are force to close the whole day. Whenever I'm not around, they would gladly close my downloads and never bother to start it up again when they done playing, this is where it starts to get on my nerves. For some files, getting seeds are tough and I could barely download any amount of data in a day.

Tolerence has a limit. I do download some useless stuff sometimes, but I would occasionally download resources for my assignments and projects. Ironically, some of them like to fuck me when I'm downloading stuff, but unshamefully ask for the rich resources that I put effort and time into searching. Fuck you. If you have no intention to look for resources to enhance your productivity, then it's your own shit. Don't ask me for resources ever again, since you like to fuck around with me.

Well, I'm kinda grateful the time they welcomed me into their house, since I'm the last to join. But like I said, tolerance has a limit. Helping me before doesn't mean you are high and mighty. You are just another puny human like me. Heck, I don't give a fuck even if you are a son of god or whatever fuck you are. If you have so much time to fuck around with those games you adore so much, then look out your ass youself and don't ask me to share anything. When people are trying to be nice, someone else just wanna dump shit on your head and take everything for granted. So be it...

Winning Eleven Poster

2008-11-21T02:27:00.004+08:00

Another friend request. A poster for some football-console-game-competition thingy. I'm just doing the visual and photo compositing part, that's why it looks incomplete. As for the text, my friend decided to do it himself.

Did it in like 2-3 hours? So, that's all I can offer XD...

Boring

2008-11-17T21:51:00.002+08:00

Nothing to do, just draw an avatar.

Nissan GTR Interior

2008-11-09T21:50:00.007+08:00

Just returned to Cyberjaya for my new coming smester. Been busy for days with different task, including moving my things back to Cyber. Kinda bored when think about the upcoming semester (or two), where it'll most probably be a hell as I need to do research and preparation for my final year project.

Anyway, for the past few days I've receive a request to do some sketches for my friend (posting it here later), preparing for my lame MUET exam, and a proposal (so-call lame "pitching") for my final year project. And I don't even have time to try out my new Sony Ericsson w910i XD.

Fortunately, I've receive my 1st freelance job from my ex-colleague/friend, Richard (thanks a lot man :D). It's part of the interior for the new Nissan GTR35. Got some reference picture and I'm required to do as realistic as possible. Well, it's a great opputunity for me to try out my VRay rendering skills (VRay rox!!). The job is not bad, not too difficult and not too easy, but doing the details is kinda hectic, especially preparing Japanese fonts. Luckily I studied some Japs before =_=...

Final render plus photoshop

Raw model

Creation of Adam Ed Version

2008-11-01T17:24:00.005+08:00

Creation of Adam, famous painting by Michaelangelo on the ceiling of Sistine Chapel. Drawn with my own style. Took quite a long time to complete (few hours). Again, I did the finishing touch with lesser effort, as I don't want to waste too much time on an art piece.

I once heard from a famous concept artist, nowadays whichever art field you are in, students are lack of exposure to classical painting, expecially those from renaissance era. Renaissance art contains a lot of knowledge about art and science which worth studying. So, it's good to draw some classical painting once awhile...

Tengu

2008-10-27T14:42:00.002+08:00

I'm still playing around with different styles. This time, I wanted to do some gritty and messy artwork. Another mythical youkai (demon?) from Japanese culture, Tengu.

Dragon

2008-10-21T20:19:00.002+08:00

Boring...

Didn't turn out as I expected, crap...

LOST - Complete

2008-10-18T00:27:00.002+08:00

Sorry for the delay. Finally completed my work and I have yet taken my bath. Previously I put the title "Girl". Actually, it is a fanart for my favourite band, Sound Horizon's album "Lost". So, I would give it the same name "Lost".

Wanted to try a high-key-tone with minimal toning. Lazy to add more description. If you are curious of how I paint it, just drop a comment.

Girl - WIP

2008-10-14T01:06:00.003+08:00

Wow wee, my 1st time drawing a proper girl. All this while, I felt drawing a male character was tough. And when it comes to female, I feel like suiciding. Proportion, pose, charm, everything is killing me.

Details later. Going Genting tomorrow with my CB Housemates. Won't be completing it till Thursday.

Rockstar Axe

2008-10-12T16:45:00.003+08:00

Keeping it short. Well, went back to Cyberjaya for a few days. Trying to prepare internship report as well as learning new stuff from my friends. Delay in updating my blog coz' I'm still really sucks in both 3D and 2D skills. Realise I didn't improve much during this intern. Will not be any 3D artworks surfacing soon. Though there are plans of what 3D I'll be doing.

Anyway, DOTA fanart. Depicting Axe with his Mighty Ax (musical instrument). Nothing much to describe. Since most of you don't bother to read anyway. ┐(´～`)┌

Inexperience Vector Art

2008-10-02T05:33:00.006+08:00

What a tedious job this is. It's actually more of graphical design that I did for my ex-classmate, which to be use as a poster (I think). I don't have much experience with graphic/vector art, and actually I don't really like to do these kind of stuff. That's why I'm trying to get it done as quickly as possible. But more or less, yea, I learn some stuff and got some extra experience in doing vector arts.

Doing those decorations is really a hell of a job, though I got it done in a night, should I be proud of it? LOL. I may wanna avoid such task in the future, it cracks my head to do those frilly-swirly stuff =_=. Heck, since I'm doing it for a pretty girl (die also willing la, LOL), can't complain too much.

As for the Wacom challenge, I don't have much hope on it, since good artworks start popping out during last minute. What a let down, bah... Shouldnt' those pros give a chance to noobs like us? （ﾟДﾟ）

*Edit:

My "client" rejected my work, so this is the new layout. I maintained everything except changing the colour scheme. Doesnt look as good as the previous one, not contrast enough... Well, that's what the client wants and that's what the client gets.

Still Rushing

2008-09-28T21:21:00.003+08:00

Finally done my character design. This is as far as I can go with my current skills. I'm lazy to write out the description and details... And I'm tired...

Well, going off...

Rushing!! Rushing!!

2008-09-28T01:36:00.003+08:00

The Wacom challenge deadline is closing in. And here's the character finalise sketch. Gonna do the full concept art painting tomorrow. I still have the environment to do, wa~~~ T______T.

Past few days I was in Cyberjaya with my laptop. Not able to my work properly, sucks （ﾟДﾟ）.

Intern

2008-09-23T02:56:00.004+08:00

*Sigh* Three months is such a glimpse. My internship has officially ended last Friday and I bid farewell to my company today. It was an interesting experience for me and I had so much fun working in Metamosaic. My bosses and colleagues were so-not-typical which I could describe as madness. This one of a kind experience is so hard to describe in words. But I'm glad and happy that I worked (or par-tee ^_^) there. Thanks for everything Metamosaic, you'll be always remembered.

And now, some artwork I did in the company. Like most art and design company, the limitation for using our artwork is quite strict. There are bunch of stuff which I'm only allow to use as personal portfolio and presentation, but not posting it commercially, like into this blog. Anyway, hope you'll be delighted with my humble artworks. If you are interested in other stuff, I mean those that I'm not allowed to post here, you can look for me personally to get an idea on the stuff I did during my intern.

Project brief, the one I'm showing here are from a project where we are required to model buildings from a portion of Kuala Lumpur around KLCC area. You can say most of the models are low poly (sort of). Well, these are individual buildings I built. Maybe I'll post up the full modelled site later on when final touches are made by the company (if I'm allow to do so).

So, till then.

Wacom Challenge

2008-09-18T01:06:00.003+08:00

Lack of updates... again. But this time, I'm not going to disappear like how I was before. Rather, I've decided to pick up the Wacom challenge and focus on the competition instead.

Wacom has opened up a competition to produce concept art of the future. I think it has prepared two categories, one for the visual of the future landscape, and another one will be designing a hero for the future.

Well, I'm kinda lazy to do all explanation. So far the submitted works for the challenge seems sucky (like I should say XD). It seems I'll be trying more of my luck and less of my skill, lol. I wanted a Wacom Intuos badly, so yea I'm looking forward to it.

Anyway, I've designed both landscape and my character for the past few days. I did the landscape in paper, so nothing to show for now. And this will be the draft of my character. Hoping to get the posture right later on. There are still a lot to fix in terms of poportion and posture. =_=

Leech King

2008-09-14T23:48:00.004+08:00

I just remembered how terrified some of my colleagues were during our trip to Perak. And the thing that they were terrified of? L~E~E~C~H. They were feeling geli here and there, and when I told them some leeches would crawl into your underwear, they were horrified. LOL.

I dont' know. Perhaps I'm too used to them or I'm just a disgusting guy in some way. I find them adorable... in some way I mean. LOL. And the best way to handle them? Just not to panic, roll them on your skin and then throw it away, simple as that. They are just looking for food, that's all, nothing against humans.

Anyway, behold the true terror of leeches, The LEECH KING. Done in photoshop, 2.5 hours. Don't bother the miniature humans around it, I drew it out of fun. It should have been a speed paint. Wasted my time fixing shits. Angle, perspective, colour, form, all those common things, bah =_=.

Speed Paint X Experiment

2008-09-13T02:00:00.003+08:00

Another speed paint and experimentation. Just got the idea in my office today. Suddenly have the urge to paint the elegant Flying Snow (Maggie Cheung, yay!!) from Hero (the one that Jet Li acted).

Hmmm..... Nothing much to describe. Like I said, I wanted to develope the concept art style, that's why it's kinda rough. But I'm quite happy how it turned out. Able to hang on the "flow" during certain stage.

2 hours, Adobe PS3.

Speed Paint

2008-09-12T00:25:00.004+08:00

Woot. Nearly missing for a week. Went to my company trip last weekend. Super fun. Super crazy. Super experience. My 1st time playing paintball and rafting. Whats best is, my 1st time to get allergy symptom which last for 1 day!! Yay!! =_=

Perhaps I'm gonna share my trip experience next time, afterI get the photos from my colleague to show off.

For now, artwork!!! Speed paint, spend around an hour, excluding time which I used to help my friends with their tech probs ^_^. Done in photoshop, I'm liking photoshop more and more, perhaps for its control and post-pro features. Anyway, I did it with reference, Terminator 4: Salvation poster to be exact. I wanted to experiment with the concept-art-technique kind of feel.

Well, I plan to do EVA01 (speed paint again) tomorrow, since it's Friday night and I can spend whole late night without worrying working. Yay!!!

Gawd, am I being cheerful....

Saber Lily Finalise

2008-09-05T01:55:00.003+08:00

Ok. Old habit strikes. Got tired and lazy doing this piece for past 2 weeks. It's time to move on to a new project as well as trying some new stuff.

I started out not bad, got worse in the mid, and lost my motivation towards the end XP. Bah, at least I learned some stuff during the process. Should keep on practicing in order not to forget the things I've learned.

And I still can't grasp the flow yet... *sigh~~*

Done in Photoshop, not sure the time, but taken 2 weeks by spending few hours every night. Still a long way to go.... It's time for me to practice speed paint.

Progress Check: Saber Lily

2008-09-03T00:35:00.002+08:00

Nothing much, just progress check. Feel free to leave comments. Feel slightly dissapointed as it didn't turn out as I expected.

I still have a LOooooNG~~~~~~~~~~~ long way to go.......... T_T

An Oath

2008-08-28T22:51:00.003+08:00

Wow wee, time for random post. Some of my artist friends who knows me well should have heard this from me before. I have made an oath to myself, that after I graduate and earning income by myself, I'm gonna buy an artbook every month. And since I'm earning some money even before grad (by internshipXD), I start fulfilling my oath before then :D. These are my personal collection

Digital Art Masters 1

Digital Art Masters 2

1st and 2nd are "Digital Art Master" series 1 and 2 by the famed 3dtotal.com. It cost me around 200+ (after discount :D) in Basheer Graphics Bookstore for both. Though my father's the one sponsored me. Perhaps he saw how passionate I am on digital arts and I told him that it may suddenly out of stock. I wanted to ordered online previously and it cost a total of 500+ bucks including shipping. So, it was a smart choice to grab it as soon as I got the chance.

It features currently some of the not-so-famous but reputated digital artist of the industry. Besides featuring their works, it includes some brief description on brainstorming and the artistic procees by those artist. It is definitely worthy piece of collection.

Vagabond Artbook "Sumi"

Vagabond Artbook "Water"

Next are artbooks from my idol, INOUE TAKEHIKO SENSEI!! The 1st one is actually a pirated copy (I think) of the "Vagabond" artbook, "water", which I bought in a manga store costing me around 30 bucks, and I actually thought it was original, crap =_=. The quality's not bad though, lucky me. The 2nd is another artbook from "vagabond" as well, titled "sumi". I actually got this original copy from kinokuniya which cost me 150 bucks. It was a tough 1 to find. Unlike "water", "sumi" featured a lot of the same work taken from the manga itself, kinda let down. Well, his my idol, so I can't complain so much bout it ><.

Well, recently I have make up mind to buy not just artbook, but any accessories that has to do with art as well, such as BENDABLE, POSABLE toy figure unlike the Ikea's stupid wood figure. Since I do not plan to waste all my money on useless artbooks which done by artist I'm not interested of.

Anyway, if you are interested, I would be happy to lend these books for you to browse. But if anything happens to them, you just replace a new one for me, simple as that ^_^. "Sumi" is officially the 1st artbook I bought with my salary, and I'll be doing 3 months intern. That means I have 2 more artbooks to buy by the end of my internship. Well, which one should I get this time (´ー｀).

Saber Lineart

2008-08-28T01:48:00.005+08:00

Here I am, taking me 3 nights to get the lineart done. Like what I mentioned in my last post, it's a collab work between me and my friend Agito (you can view his uber-gay artwork here). The initial design was done by him base on a new design of Saber from Fate/Stay Night, which the developers call it "Saber Lily Version".

Well, I wanted to collab with Agito for quite a long time, since both of us are quite fond of drawing and painting. So, recently he suggested me to take his new piece of work to do my own tweaks. At first I thought of doing minor tweaks and modification, but got carried away and did A LOT of changes, sorry bout that ><.

He can really draw figures, characters and stuffs like that with super details. Though sometimes his detailing are too much and caused imbalance in his drawings, and now I'm there to "balance" it out :D. I did some changes on the armor part. For the upper body, I kept most of the design intact except making Saber more "expose" XD. For the skirt, well I changed a lot because of the extreme details and to make the flow better. Some minor tweaks on the armor boots, hands, and eyes, and posture, and I added more depth on the perspective as well. Finally, I changed Agito's badass sword to a more elegant and slimer sword to suit Saber's personality.

Well, for minor details and inscription on the ornaments, I'm going to add it only during painting process. And yes, I'm gonna paint it after this. Hopefully I don't screw up like I usually do =_=.

Saber Lily My Version

Saber Lily Agito's Version

wOOt

2008-08-25T02:31:00.004+08:00

Nope, I'm not dead yet. It's been quite a long time since I posted here. Well, I got myself messed up quite a bit. I don't like making excuses, the truth is whatever happend, I just failed to do what I should. But anyway, I'm here again to post some stuff, I mean artworks.

Here's an experiment on custome brush. I'm trying to acheive calligraphy brush style. But seems it ended up as something else =_=. Nothing special, like I said, just an experiment. Reference from Inoue Takehiko sensei's Vagabond.

As for this one, it's a collabaration between me and my friend Agito, re-imagining Fate/Stay Night's Saber(Lily version). I'll do the explanation later when I'm done the lineart. It's still in draft stage and I'm kinda lazy :P

I know some visitors left because of my recent lack updates. It's kinda obvious base on the pagehits XD. Anyway, don't leave for good yet. I promise I'll be good boy and do my work properly from now on XD. Shinpai nai yo. Ima kara, ore ga zutto zutto ganbatte da yo.

And here's a great quote from Batman Begins

"Why do we fall? So we can learn to pick ourselves up"

The Dark Knight

2008-07-20T19:42:00.003+08:00

ZOMG, ZOMG!!! I've just watched TDK in IMAX. It was the coolest superhero movie I've seen, way cooler than Spidey ever were, and of course total ownage of spandex-wearing Superman (I never liked him). Like the critics describe it, "qualify as a superior artistic achievement in its own right".

I could say every cast in this film is totally remarkable. Nevertheless Heath (RIP) Ledger did an extraordinary performance portraying Joker to it's peak of insanity. This film totally explores the hardship, conflicts and issues that never been touch by other superhero films. It even explains the insanity of the world, the super villians are drawn by people such as Batman. Although it's kind of tedious since it span for 2.5 hours. But it's worth, like watching Lord of The Rings, with super cool action, super cool gadgets, super cool story, and super cool Joker who makes a super cool killing joke.

Like the previous film, Chirstian Bale did a very good job portraying the dark vigilante and the bright playboy, best in history. The other cast did superb acting too, like Michael Caine, Gary Oldman, (unexpectedly) Maggie Gyllenhaal, and Aaron "Two-Face" Eckhart. Christopher Nolan did a very good job in assembling the cast and directing the movie, making it a great entertainment of the summer and an art masterpiece.

And how should we forget, the last and most memorable performance by Heath Ledger. His acting probably outshines every other cast. His portrayal of Joker is just... insane. If I had the chance to rank every supervillians alive, I would definitely rank him the first. He was totally horrifying, scary, psycopathic... every word you can find to describe a serial killer... Though I did find him amusing, or funny... I love his insanity (though it pains sometimes, ouch) and of course his killing joke. A pity Ledger died early, he is most deserve an Oscar for this one. And I'm wondering who Chris will cast as the joker later (perhaps Jake Gyllenhaal? =_=).

Anyway, it's the best movie I watched in years (I think) and most deserving to spend another 2 bucks in IMAX. You're freak if you think this movie is bad, I could say even Joker thinks you're freak.

XD

*Joker: How about a magic trick? [Slams the pencil upright twisting it into the table] I'm going to make this pencil disappear. [henchman tries to attack him; Joker slams the man's head into the pencil. The man falls over dead.] Taa-daa! It's gone!

BOOM DEE YADA!!!

2008-06-30T14:15:00.001+08:00

BOOM DEE YADA!!!

A must watch from discovery channel. Discovery rox hard this time. And Adam rox too on the 2nd video. Do watch both ^_^.

I love the whole world~~

Metamosaic

2008-06-28T16:22:00.002+08:00

It's been two weeks since I started my intern. Days seem to pass so fast, probably because I had so much fun working as intern.

To me, Metamosaic seems like a small family, with everyone taking care of each other so much, joking so much, and even being crazy so much. And what's more interesting is, the company has four bosses and each of them always join in the fun, even making the "fun" itself (except for one who is quite cool/cold, LOL). Even I'm on a cloudy mood, they can turn it into bright sky.

If you ask me what I learned so far, I can't really explain. Perhaps I had so much fun until it didn't matter. All I hope is that the fun can last a little longer. This company has a working environment that I longed for. The boss even welcomed me to return to the company after I graduate (and expect me to pick up some extra skills XD when I return). To them, what matters is the "people", not the "profit".

Everyone here always work far more longer than office hour, including myself. Some may think that we are trying to "bok sing jik" (trying to climb the corparate ladder), but I can tell that the company has so much fun it became a place worth hanging out. Why leave when we get the chance to shoot each other in Call of Duty after work? I think the boss look so younger than his age is because he knows how to have fun to relieve stress, and have a good wife (which he claims XD).

Anyway, I'm glad I worked there and meeting these people. This is how life should be.

Hiatus

2008-06-24T23:31:00.003+08:00

Hello all. Ok, I'll be making this quick and short. I'll be on hiatus and leaving this blog for awhile, perhaps a month. The past week I've been doing some artworks and I screwed up fugly-ly (fucking ugly-ly). So, I will undergo an intense training for the coming month with my tight internship schedule.

Anyway, recently I got great resources from my great big bro and my caring father. With these resources, hopefully I'll be able to improve with godspeed.

Thanks to everyone who came. Even with my sucky works, you guys still come and read my blog, I am truly grateful. To me, you guys are really true friends, thank you.

See you then.

To Do List

2008-06-20T23:40:00.003+08:00

Just a random update, nothing much. Here's my to do list for the internship period which I categorise as personal projects. Seriously, if I'm not able to complate it, it proves that I learned nothing and not improving for the internship period. I failed to reach the summit of the mountain.

Detail modeling
1. Bugatti Veyron
2. Porsche 911 GT3 (revise)
3. Interior scene

Low Poly Modeling
1. Mini Copper
2. An interior scene
3. A mecha/machine/engine thingy

Concept art
At least 3 concept arts are in my mind right now, hope will be able to draw it out and paint it in details in the coming months.

100 Hits and Woot

2008-06-18T22:44:00.003+08:00

1st, I like to apologize for the lack of updates. As most of you know I'm doing intern right now. I usually reach home at 9pm and then spend the rest of my night eating, bathing and watching discovery channel, that makes it an average 1-2 hours every night for me to lay my hands on personal project. And whenever I screw up my work, I'll be wasting that 1-2 hours, which I usually do.

Anyway, I would like to humbly thank everyone who visits my blog and supported it. Although it's not a big number, but getting 100 hits in less than a month really motivates me. Actually, I wanted to draw something as a token of appreciation, but like I said, it got screwed up, sorry for that.

'Sides that, I haven't discuss with my intern's boss about using the works I did in the company as my portfolio. SO, no intern works for the time being, hehe. But I'll try to get 1-2 works done in this weekend, as a way of 'redeeming' myself :P. So, until then...

Kappatron Final?

2008-06-15T12:08:00.004+08:00

Sorry for posting late. I was away the whole day yesterday, due to some business and gathering with my old friends. Anyway, here's the coloured version of my Kappatron. I can't really say it's the final outcome, as I haven't touch up some details and the background. And I won't be completing it soon as well, just because I haven't done exploring vray for my intern which starts tomorrow =_=.

Well, like I said, it's a birthday present to my mentor/friend/housemate Alan, hahaha. You can view his gay works here http://genewiz.deviantart.com/. He's a mecha freak, so I thought of designing a mecha which suits him. As for the "kappa", well I don't really wanna explain why, LOL.

Drawing done by hand, wacom tablet, and corel painter 9. It took me quite some time, I'm still hell of a noob in painting, and I'm not out for a time attack, so yeah, this is the quality/standard I can produce now.

Okey then, again happy birthday to Alan (though it's still early to say it), hope my present suits you well.

Kappatron In Progress

2008-06-12T21:52:00.005+08:00

I'm tired of doing Vray these few days. Just manage to draw few concept arts. Anyway, I'll post one of my recent concept art. Its a birthday gift to my friend. Though I'll be getting the colour done by either tomorrow or the day after that.

For the explanation, it's a mecha design base on the mythical creature from Jpan, Kappa (河童). For details, I'll elaborate after I get the colours done, LOL.

Anyway, these days I get migraine easily by wearing my glasses for whole fucking day. Just because of my freaking table, I'm sitting quite a distance from my monitor and I can't see properly without my glasses on, crap. And I seriously need a scanner.

Vray

2008-06-12T00:37:00.004+08:00

I feel kinda bad if not posting for days. So, here's a random post of "something". Don't blame me for the uninteresting content. Well, if you are into graphics, perhaps you may even gain some knowledge.

Okey. I've been studying Vray for the past 2 days and I realise it is indeed a very cool renderer. It has detail parameters that enables you to control the micro-est thing about rendering, that's my opinion though. However, like the impression it gives me all along, the rendering is too nice and too perfect until it looks fake. Unless you are really good in texturing and micro-manage the parameters, do not hope to produce any super realistic result.

Bah, I don't know what to say more. I can only post some test renders here for you to view yourself. Anyway, if you are interested in picking up Vray, I'll be most happy to teach...... After I finish my intern i mean, hehehe.

2008-06-08T21:39:00.004+08:00

Sorry for any delay of work, these few days it's either I'm busy on some chores or I'm doing my work on the paper. Unfortunately I don't have any scanner, so you won't be seeing any of my work in digital format soon.

In order not to disappoint someone who always check my blog for updates, here's another site which has a collection of my photos. Although I can't claim every piece is great, some does worth looking at.

http://fotologue.jp/edo/

Be adviced that it's a full flash website, it may take some time to load the page. And you may need to refresh once or twice to be able to get in. I'm so fucked up as my hard disk break down last time. I lost almost all my best photos along the hard disk. This is the only place that still keeps my work. Anyway, I'll be posting some of my top photos here. Enjoy.

Kara no Kyoukai

2008-06-08T21:01:00.005+08:00

After months of waiting, finally I got my hands on this anime, from fan-subs of course. The creator of this story are those guys behind Tsukihime and Fate/Stay Night, though it is animated by different studio.

So, what's the fuss of this anime? Well, if you know me, you would guess I have a distinguish taste for movies and animes. Kara no Kyoukai tells a rather dark and myterious story compare to TYPE-MOON's other masterpieces. It has a same setting and some similiar characters from Tsukihime. I'm a guy who likes those creepy and confusing story, so I'm kinda fond of this title.

What draws me the most is the superb art of this anime. And what's more, it has a freaking nice soundtrack to back the movie (yea, it's a movie) which really enhance the dark atmosphere. Overall, I could really call it a masterpiece, though the animation is slightly crappy, I mean the motion and flow.

Finally, although it's a movie, I think I need to wait for a whole year for the rest of the 6 pieces to come out =_=. Btw, it has a total of seven chapters/movies.

Death has never been so beautiful

I told you it's a masterpiece

Amateur MTV

2008-06-06T02:23:00.005+08:00

wOOt!! Double post. I just remember the music video I did with my groupmates a year ago. That semester was hell, one final submission per day and lasted for whole hectic week.

Yea, its not as good as pro videos, but we are quite proud of our acheivement. It turned out better than we thought actually, especially playing the original camcorder tape on tv. Youtube downgraded our video quality a lot, dang =_=.

Anyway, again I would like to thank Alan and Kenny (u r DA MAN!!) for both their editing skills which made the video... possible... lol. And yea, never forget the whole group that put killer effort into the production XD. Especially Vincent who nearly fall to his death standing on top of the trolley just to act tall, LOL.

Note: Pay attention on the guy which wears red shirt with long hair during credits. Yea, tht's me a year ago. Artistic look ler, nyek nyek nyek...

Ironman In Progress

2008-06-06T01:34:00.006+08:00

Alright, since I have posted most of my previous work, I'll be slowing down abit now. Most of my post now will be on the progress of my latest work. Even though I'm slowing down my pace, I'm on a high-spirited-uber-skill-boosting-mode, which means I'll produce 'some' artworks even I 'm on a deathbed.

Unfortunately, I will not be completing this piece soon. I have some other skills (interior design) I need to pick up to prepare for my internship. Anyhow, there'll be more artwork to see (yay!!), though most of it will be in experimental stage.

Damn, how I wish I could complete this soon T^T. Recently, I have the strong urge in doing mechas and machines. It could train my detail modeling a lot, which I really suck at, orz.

Aikido Club Poster/Flyer

2008-06-04T02:20:00.005+08:00

The flyer/poster of our university's aikido club. Nothing special. I did the drawing using calligraphy style (my skill sucks XD) and further edited it in photoshop (POWA tool). Besides a self-defence, to me aikido is also an art. When I wanted to reflect "art" and "Japan", I tried approaching calligraphy technique to do the design.

Anyway, the calligraphy style I applied is inspired by a game from PS2, "Okami" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Okami) which relies heavily on cell-shading technique.

Btw, if anyone is interested in joining aikido, you can contact the numbers listed there, since there aren't much dojo to train, my uni is fortunate enough to have a dojo.

Peaceful Warrior

2008-06-03T01:00:00.007+08:00

Have you guys ever watch "Peaceful Warrior"? No? Me neither. So what's all about the movie? Honestly, if you guys are not into drama kind of story, you can skip this post. I got attracted by this movie thanks to it's interesting trailer. If you wanna know more look it through here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peaceful_Warrior

Now here's the stuff, in the movie there are a number of quotes which I find very useful to most of our daily lifes, especially to those who are artist wannabe like me :D. Anyway, the quotes below are taken from wiki which was entered by some jolly-good-fella (from the movie of course):

1. Life has three aspects: Paradox, Humour, and Change.

2. Paradox: Life is a mystery; don't waste time figuring it out.

3. Humor: Keep a sense of humour, especially about yourself. It is a strength beyond all measure

4. Change: Know that nothing stays the same.

5. There is never nothing going on. There are no ordinary moments.

6. This moment: The past and the future do not matter; all that matters is now, this moment.

7. It's not the destination that brings happiness, but the journey.

8. Take out the trash from what's inside your head.

9. Empty your mind.

10. Everything has a purpose, even this, and it's up to you to find it.

11. A warrior does not give up what he loves, he finds the love in what he does.

12. I call myself a Peaceful Warrior... because the battles we fight are on the inside.

13. A warrior is not about perfection or victory or invulnerability. He's about absolute vulnerability.

14. There is no starting or stopping - only doing.

15. There's no greater purpose than service to others.

16. Everyone wants to tell you what to do and what's good for you. They don't want you to find your own answers, they want you to believe theirs.

17. I want you to stop gathering information from the outside and start gathering it from the inside.

18. People are not their thoughts, they think they are, and it brings them all kinds of sadness.

19. Death isn't sad. The sad thing is: most people don't live at all.

20. What time is it? Now.

Gamma 3rd Sem - Rally Simulation

2008-06-02T21:32:00.008+08:00

Here's another lame work, again thanks to our lame lecturer's requirement and tight deadlines. We are required to do rally simulation as a group, but ended up driving simulation instead =_=.

Anyway, the car I modelled is Porsche 911 GT3. It's a low poly model, so don't complain the jagged edges. Furthermore, the reflection is artificially created in photoshop, that means I drawn the reflection and it's not generated by the 3D software, so don't complain that it looks fake.

I may do a revise version in the future, with higher polys and proper materials. Actually, I'm quite proud with my modeling skill :D. I'm able to model a Porsche with around apporximately 2500 polys, while normal car cost more than 100k polys. Impressed?

Gamme 2nd Sem - Some Crappy Works

2008-06-01T23:07:00.005+08:00

Okay. Here are some other crappy works I did months ago. It's not that I wanted to create bunch of crappy works, it's all thanks to my lecturer and his fucking lame assignment. I would have forgiven him if we only did it for one semester. But no~~, we were told to do roughly the same crap for my last semester, which got me kinda pissed off.

Anyway, these works I presented here are way better than my final outcome. I rendered these guys out from 3Dmax, of course it'll be better than some no-name-crappy-wtf game software renderer. And for extra treat, I added the concept art for one of my projects, which is so far, my more satisfying drawings... Okok, I gotta admit it, my drawing sucks. And I'm still trying to improve as much as I could, so don't bash me... painfully...

Gamma 2nd Sem - Character Design

2008-06-01T16:24:00.006+08:00

Alright, here's an assignment I enjoyed doing it very much. Why? Because we are free to do any charcater we like, with an environment that's relevant to the character. Modeling characters are kinda fun. To me, when you are designing a character, you would link personalities and traits to it. So, it influence how you design you characters base on their unique traits. And another thing is, you would need to figure out what kind of movement/actions/animation suits your character and how to exaggerate it. Does it look cute? Aggresive? Cool? Or just plain retarded?

For my character, I was inspired by the character from Square-Enix's "Legend of Mana", Cacti. Though I made it to look more badass, with a mafia attitude xD. To me, blades are cooler than guns, so no guns for him. I called him "Vino Cactaceae". Don't ask me how I got the name, it's a long story.

For the environment, I wanted to make a mexican-desert like surroundings. So, there goes the sand, mountains and cactuses. Well, we are not require to deal much with the environment, so I just slacked off and put minor effort into it XP.

Gamma 1st Sem - Architecture Visualisation

2008-06-01T15:58:00.007+08:00

Another work from 2nd year 1st semester, the only semester that I'm ACTUALLY learning something. Yet, another visualisation. Which means my 3D must be base on existing buildings. And this time, a building from Terengganu's Chinatown.

It's a clinic actually. I still remember the doctor who owns the place is quite friendly. He gave me a warm welcome when I wanted to take photos of the clinic for references. He told me to post my final work to him, though I gotten lazy and in the end, lost his contact XP.

Well, most of the models are low poly, so don't complain that it looks jagged. Though I'm kinda proud of my acheivement in texturing, which I can claim is my most superior skill. But it always takes me days to do nice texturing on minor things, heck =_=.

Gamma 1st Sem - Interior Design

Done around a year ago. We are required to design an interior base on certain theme, and the furnitures used must be base on existing furniture taken from catalogues and stuffs.

The theme I based on is nature design for dining room. For the furnitures, I took from a lot of sources til I forgotten where (or which websites). That's all, I'm kinda lazy to elaborate into details.

Beta 2nd Sem - Journey of Fear

Here's my 1st presentable work, did it around one-and-the-half year ago. We are required to make an animatiing environment or journey based on a chosen emotion, with simple shapes and form. Well, like my title suggest, I did "fear" with a touch of chinese culture. Btw, the images you see are enhanced and edited with photoshop. Heck, who cares? as long as it looks good.

1st stage: funeral lanterns and tunnel

2nd stage: abandon temple

Prologue

Here I am, starting yet another new blog. One thing about blog is, you need to keep it updated time to time, to keep your readers around or keep yourself motivated to write, and I failed to do it most of the time. At times, I'm so fucking busy with my work, and when I'm done, the only thing I wanna do is slack off. Okok, it's my fault...

So, what's with this new blog I'm starting? Frankly, I have nothing fresh to offer. Well, not really... I'm gonna post my artwork here from now on, since I don't have any decent portfolio site. However, rather than posting all completed works, I will post the progress of my lastest work. Reasons? One, to keep myself motivated, two, to document my work, three, to keep readers around (duh).

Okay, what's more... Erm... Oh, I hope anyone who's reading my blog can frequently hang around (there's a chat box), give some comments, or perhaps introduce my blog to anyone you know :D. I would be definitely grateful if you guys could help expand my network, and perhaps get me hired by some good companies in the future (hell yeah!!!).
