CF '11 Pic Dump

2012-01-18T05:14:00.000+08:00

I was going through some of my old pictures to find something to replace my current cover on my portfolio's facebook and it occurred to me that I totally didn't put last year's Comic Fiesta pictures on this blog!

It's long enough for me to not remember much of what happened so just have this picture dump of the first and second day of last year's CF (and sadly, my last one)

First Day

Fran from Katekyo Hitman Reborn

Okay, I'm just gonna put random text in between these pictures so that this post will still look like a blog post and not some kind of photobucket ~~yyeeeeeepp~~

Inga(s) from Un-Go

Nee-san can testify to how excited I got when I saw that people had cosplayed Inga lol ~~and there was quite a number of them too~~

Now that I think about it with my head clear, I was being very embarrassing but...yeah

F!@$ if I'm gonna name every single one of them from Prince no Uta-sama

I actually had all these posted on my facebook but then I deactivated my personal one so major WELP there. So, just in case anyone is searching for their 2011 CF cosplay pics, you might appear here. Somewhere.

Uhhh....Momoka!Himari? from Mawaru Penguindrum

I should also take this opportunity to remind anyone that if they would like their picture to be taken down, just tell me. If you want the original version (since I've edited some and resized all), you can have it in your dreams. It's too troublesome to give you the original one?

Sawada Tsuna from Katekyo Hitman Reborn

Well, I've run out of stuff to ramble about. Honestly.

??? from ???

The only thing I edited (from the ones I've placed my dirty hands on) are only the backgrounds. I didn't temper with the cosplayers. They look as they're captured^^

Shou Kurusu from Uta no prince-sama

I got lazy around this picture so I left it as it is (lucky!) but, in all honesty, it felt a lot more noisy and cramped with the bustle in the background so I thought I'd try to neutralize it a bit. That was the only reason I tempered with the background.

Kagura from Gintama

THIS. She actually did one of Kagura's signature poses of sticking the pinky into her nose but that picture turned out to be BLURRY FFFFFFFFFFFFF---------

Ciel Phantomhive and Alois Trancy from Kuroshitsuji

Kuroshitsuji is still as popular as always it seems^^

Okumura Rin from Ao no Exorcist

Ahaha~ I got excited seeing a lot of AoEx cosplays too! ( ´ ▽ ` )

Nezumi and Shion from No.6

asldkfjskdlfj day = made

Sebastian Michaelis from Kuroshitsuji

I've run out of things to say again.

Mugi, Ritsu and Mio from K-On

Uwooh, sorry for the blurry pictures (@A@) Around this time I was just trying to settle down with nee-san after having snooped around excitedly.

Ciel Phantomhive from Kuroshitsuji

On hindsight, I think I should've tempered with this picture.

This is a rare (wut?) picture of Sebastian giving his master a piggyback instead of a princess-carry. Bocchan must have been acting his age again.

A REALLY COOL GINTAMA GROUP ~~bias? what bias?~~

Because I totally love Gintama and these people are amazing o(*ﾟ▽ﾟ*)o

This was what nee-san wore to CF on the 1st day. And she's posing by this big ad of Kuroshitsuji merchandise. Oh, and that's my skirt by the way. I think people are starting to forget that fact because I rarely wear it.

This is the CF stage with nee-san in front of it.

England(s) from Hetalia

??? from Tegami Bachi(?)

A giant KHR poster! With nee-san in front of it

??? from ???

Wow, no more random comments from me?

Lenalee Li from D.Gray-man

Um, the first day was really crazy though. And I really hated how the KLCC staff treated us. It totally ruined the mood for a lot of us and I've seen quite a number of people commenting how the crowd outside the hall discouraged them from attempting to join in the fun.

GINGA BISHOUNEN from STAR DRIVER

AAAasdasldksdfldflkjdklasjd day = made^2

Soi Fon(?) from Bleach

The second day was a lot better though^^ I'm glad for that at least. Even though my feet ended up hurting so much I had to go back early.

Okumura Yukio and Okumura Rin from Ao no Exorcist

Oh yeah, I also went back early because I finished all my money. I spent RM200 on both days. I even borrowed money from Aneki (that I've thankfully paid back already). The price of food is （；￣ェ￣）

Satonaka Chie from Persona 4

Every time I see or remember Chie, the dialogue of Hiimdaisy's Persona 4 Comic Dub plays in my mind, going:
Chie: "I'm Chie Satonaka"
Yukiko: "And I'm uncomfortable!"
and it takes all I have to hold back on my laughter that I'm sure I look like I'm giving people one hell of a rotten grin. Oops.
I didn't get to see Souji/Narukami on the first day but I did eventually see him on the second. Was really happy that I got to see them^^

Nee-san with a fellow lolita friend...or something.

??? from Vocaloid?

I actually had a chance to touch her dress while we were lining up to get out of hall 4 or something. It was really...something. And I don't mean to sound like a total pervert or anything but...uh, never mind.
She's very pretty.

nee-san and Yui from K-On

and that concludes Day 1!

Second Day

Takasugi Shinsuke from Gintama

Kurosaki Ichigo from Bleach and Otonashi Saya from Blood+

It's probably useless for me to say this now but I really wasn't trying to peek under her skirt. It was just that, there was A LOT of cameras and men and my height really isn't something marvelous so I had to use an angle that was able to show at least one of their faces!

Tomoyo from Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle(?)

aslkdjslkdf why did this turn out blurry

??? from ???

hislegwasshakinganditwassocuteIjustkindofdiedabitinside yeah. Pretty much.

Alois Trancy from Kuroshitsuji

Since the 2nd day was a lot more orderly, so I went in and out quite a few times without much worry.

??? from (and I'm just always taking a random guess) Vocaloid

Miku and ??? from Vocaloid

Yuna from Final Fantasy X

There's actually a lot more pics of the second day but I got too lazy to edit them. Welp. I'll update this post if I get to them one day. In the very distant future.

SD: My Prince

2012-01-14T10:31:00.000+08:00

Found this on Tumblr thanks to taninu and I just HAD to translate it

alsdkasklfjsa

ALL MY FEELINGS

This story is just so ;3;

~~I'm going to try doing it for the Kinrei and Prince part but that's a bit tricky.~~
Done! But only vaguely so

it was kind of confusing at points so I actually went and translated the previous page. I'm too lazy to typeset that but now this page makes more sense and that's all that matters.

I am honestly starting to grow on the prince. I used to hate his guts but then Kinrei tried to betray him and it revealed how lonely he really is compared to everyone even if he might not notice it.

I WANT THE WHOLE CHAPTER SO BADLY! ;A;

Silver Diamond: 波 pt 1

2012-01-12T05:48:00.000+08:00

I think I want to try translating the whole volume 16. I'm going to do it in a very slow pace though since I'm also still waiting for even more reliable scanlations of the series. ~~It is now up to volume 13, right? It won't be long now^^~~

(updated 17-01-12)I'm a really slow fan ~~whoops~~ but the people at shiho_s_diamond are doing the scanlations and they've finished scanlating up to vol 13^^ So if anyone wants to download and read them, just head over there and become a member.

That said, I will take down my crappy translations as soon as I see that they've scanlated vol 16. Before that, I guess I'll continue to have fun with this (Plus, it's a learning experience).

I'm just doing this for fun and my translations are really bad because I've seriously never gotten proper Japanese language lessons so anyone who's a fan of Silver Diamond and somehow stumbled upon this post, don't trust my translation 100%. Not even 70%, okay?

As before, I'll leave the Japanese text in case anyone who can understand it better will be able to help me correct it ^^ I honestly want to understand it as well.

To view it in full size, please right click and open it in a new tab/window. I don't think the new feature allows you to zoom just by clicking

Page 007

金隷: どうぞ皇子今日はもう
金隷: 遅いですからお休みください
金隷: .....皇子? どうなさいました?
金隷: さっきから何か
金隷: 機嫌が悪いような...
皇子: ...金隷あの者たちも「仲間」か
金隷: え? -
I originally went for 'companions' rather than 'comrades' but when I thought about other action/adventure anime series, I just kind of...
The part in black that I didn't translate (idk why) is 「波」 which means waves

Page 008

皇子: あの者たちを私と同等に扱ったら
皇子: 許さないからな...!
金隷: ああそれでずっと....
金隷: 案外可愛い事を言いますね
皇子: 何!?
金隷: あれは「仲間」ですよ皇子
The moment I saw the word 'kawaii' I just kind of had to give a moment to myself to giggle in a creepy fangirl-ish way because I thought the prince saying those kind of childish things (though it's pretty normal) is kind of adorable.

The workings of a fangirl's mind. It's hard to understand

Page 009

金隷:「仲間」とは「使える道具」の事です
金隷: あなたと私のための
金隷: .....私にとってあなたと同じものは
金隷: あなた以外にありませんよ皇子
金隷: 嘘をついてますか私は
皇子: ...じゃあそれならもういい!
金隷: はい
皇子: 私のみを大事にしろよ
金隷: はいはい
皇子: 二度!?
金隷: さどうぞ中ヘ
Ugh this was killer to translate. What are you trying to say, Kinrei?! I just kind of put it in a way that doesn't seem too awkward (I hope)

Page 010

金隷: ああ...緑に戻したのか
金隷: 大した知能は無い筈だが...
金隷: 沙芽の本能みたいなものか
I hope I got this much right. It was so confusing @A@ Saying something like 'the green has returned' feels weird though. Maybe I should have tried to word it better though I can't think of another way to put it

Page 011

皇子(?): なんだろうなこの感覚--.....
千艸: ...羅貫

Page 037 (yup, I skip a lot)

一灯: 千鋃!
一灯: やばい何か...でかい化物が下から

Page 038

羅貫: あっ大蛇
夕吾: えっ普通!?
千艸: 大丈夫だよ
夕吾: 何が!?
灯二: なんだ大蛇か
成重: 何かの用ですかね
淕楼: おまえらも普通!?
西南: いやオイ! 誰か乗ってんぞ! 女...
羅貫: えっ女の子!? -
千艸: 本当だ -
みつば: あからさまに怪しいだろそれ!?
倡嗣: ヘビ遣い!?
柄光:ヘビ遣いの女!?
柄光(?): 敵なんじゃ...

This was one the very earliest translations so I didn't think to write down the Japanese text and most of them I understood anyway.

Page 041

三重: 兄さま!
成重: 三重 ...こんにちは
羅貫: うっ本気の他人行儀!!
三重: あっこんにちは
羅貫: あっ妹さんも他人行儀!? 大丈夫かこの2人
成重: どうしてこのな所に?
三重: あの...ええっとこちらの卯の花さまと真珠さまが
三重: 兄さまの所に連れ来て下さるって...
成重: ...真珠さまが?
虹: ほう
三重: はい私にもとても優しくして下さって...
三重: ええっとあの
三重: 母さまともお友達になって下さるって
三重: 約束して下さったんです
Sae is very polite and formal even to her brother so I had a lot of difficulty with her. I actually went through more than 3 forums discussing about formal sentences. It is, however, lost in translations. As you can see.

That's about it for now. I'll update this when I get the pages in between done. This post will probably contain half of this chapter

Silver Diamond Random Scanlations

2011-12-26T22:59:00.001+08:00

These are just a few pages I tried to translate at the best of my abilities.

They're not 100% accurate, not even 80% accurate word-by-word but I believe they vaguely hold the same meaning.

I'm still waiting for a better scanlation but for now, let's enjoy some of the funnier parts of Silver Diamond vol 16

Oh, and some of them I'll provide the japanese text that I accumulated (it's hard not being able to type japanese welp) while I was working. Hopefully those who have a better Japanese understanding can correct me ^^ I really want to understand what they say.

These are only text of the 2nd and 3rd panel:
一灯: えっ何急に
成重: いえあの私より年上だと聞いたので
一灯: 丁寧だなアンタ
宮: 別にいいのに呼び捨てで
成重: でも年上の方は敬わないとですから
虹: 成重はマジメだからな -
I left the last one from Narushige untranslated because it felt funnier that way. "Ack"
When I first did this I didn't know that the づけ in the 2nd panel meant 付 (affix). So the text untranslated in the Kazuhi's bubble is probably "-san affix?!"

This was too fun not to translate. The Touno brothers are so cute^^
灯二: えっ年上ってさんづけするの? 一灯も?
一灯: いや別に構わねえよ呼び捨てで
一灯: 構わねえけどえっと...
灯二: 何? どしたの? -
Chigusa whispers
灯二: えっと...一灯お兄様...?
一灯: いやもっとフツ- ので呼でほしかったんだが....
1 - 親切
2 - 嫌がらせ
3 - 世間知らず
どれだ千銀....!!
I had trouble with Kazuhi's 「いやもっとフツ- ので呼でほしかったんだが」I think really got it wrong ^^;;;

みつば:「千銀さん」て呼んだ方がいいの? 「千艸さん」?
恵司: そ-いや年上ってさんづけするモンだったっけ?
灯二: おまえら成重は「さん」で呼んでるじゃん...
みつば: あっいやそれは...
「お姉さんぽいから」
「お母さんぽいから」
「姑だから」
恵司: なんとなく...
羅貫: 別にいいんじゃないの気にしなくて
羅貫: 千艸は前「呼び捨てでいい」って言ってたし
羅貫: ね
千艸: ああ
千艸: 呼び捨てにされる方が好きだから...
恵司: なんでアンタが言うと
淕楼: 変な意味に聞こえるんだ...
成重: 多分変な意味だから大丈夫ですよ
I probably got it wrong from the start. Welp! This one was the most confusing and since I don't really get the joke, that means I definitely translated it wrongly. Sorry!

~~I still have one page left that I want to try my hands on but for now this is enough probably^^~~
I finally did it:

[この機会に]

秋市: でもよく考えたらまずラカンを呼び捨てがダメじゃねえ?

秋市: サノメの皇子なのにさ

彌式: 偉そうに見えねえかもなたしかに

秋市: じゃあ「ラカン様」で呼ぼうか

夕吾 : あいいな「ラカン様」格好よくて

灯二: あっ待てストップ!

成重: ダメですそれは

(?): えっ!? 何で!?

千艸: 羅貫様

羅貫: 様はよせ様は-- はずかしすぎる

灯二: ホラすぐ真似するんだもんコイツ

(?): あっごめん

Rakan is very cute^^ I probably got it wrong for Touji's part at the end though ^^;;

Oh, and have these little snippets I posted on tumblr:

Because I couldn't translate the whole page, I made a few cuts. This is when they are trying to think up pseudo-names and Rakan asks them what would be a good one for Narushige

Only Rakan thinks this of course. And to add a bit on this topic, this came in the extra:

Rather than 'nickname' I think I should have gone with 'pseudo name'. Google translate came up with mnemonic but...well.

fyi: They're just pressing foreheads together in order for Chigusa to transmit the image into Rakan's mind

This is a pretty normal occurrence in Silver Diamond actually.

A fluffy moment with the four of them^^

Self Portrait in the literal meaning

2011-12-16T21:20:00.002+08:00

I got very ecstatic today when I found out that youtube is working again on the TV so I played Hiimdaisy's Persona 4 comic dub over and over and over again.

It was pretty random but I took out my camera to get a picture of the working youtube.

As you can see above. Welp, messy house.

Lol, that was a weird moment in the story to capture of, but never mind.

Somehow, I was playing around with the settings to see which was okay with indoors. It's because tomorrow there will be Comic Fiesta and we're most likely to stay indoors.

So, it resulted in these:

I made use of the self-timer setting. It was difficult to have it stay static since I don't have a tripod but using a pail and my handphone, it worked somehow. That's why the POV is pretty low, I guess.

I also managed to play around with them in Photoshop. alskdjskldjals I don't know why but Photoshop suddenly decided to work again ;v; I'm so happy aaaaaaa-

There's like dozens more that didn't turn out good ~~since I make such a lousy model~~ but oh well

It was very unplanned, that's why I'm wearing just random clothes.

Maybe if I can do it again, I'll dress much better.

For now, these make appropriate profile picture on facebook.

Welp.

It's a Flower!!

2011-11-08T13:01:00.002+08:00

I'm taking this moment of blog updating to show you flowers

that okaa-san planted

They're flowers.

Yup.

Aidiladha - Back Home

2011-11-07T22:12:00.000+08:00

So, Selamat Hari Raya Aidiladha and Happy something something(orz)

It's been a while since I wrote here

but

Nee-san and I returned home!

...for a week. Or so.

Anyway, first day of raya:

without me

with me

that kind of looks like a really rotten smile on me -w-;;

I don't feel like elaborating much because certain things have soured the festivity for us so, let's just have me comment on the pictures I'm putting up here :D

KITTY! 8DDD

We went to mom's friend's house and two kittens were new additions to their family members so we had a load of fun squeeing and poking and playing with it.

More of this kitty

Even more of this kitty (the other kitty was sleeping in imouto-chan's lap ;v;)

Even MOAR of this kitty

and we don't even know what its name is 8D

Solo kitty time XD

They were staggering and fidgeting a lot and we were inside so many of the pictures turn out blur-ish. This was pretty much the best out of it all

and I also brightened it in SAI. alskdjlaksd I don't like photo-editing without PS ;A;

The next day (today), we went to Pizza Hut! Yumm~

Nee-chan paid for it this time so it was really heavenly *q*

Yummy~<3

Okaa-san and imouto-chan.

Imouto-chan suddenly became a watch model 8D

LASAGNA~~~

My favourite Pizza Hut dish that's not pizza X3

One of my favourite poses to take when coming to Pizza Hut 8D

The 'Drinking Nose' pose~!

And that's about it really~

I'm honestly too tired to write more so I'll just leave it here

The 80 percent Meme

2011-09-10T00:05:00.000+08:00

Click for better view

In which "If you know 80% of these characters, then you're my friend" is how it goes...or so they say.

It was fun when I posted it on Deviantart and people guessed it.
Everyone even got their guesses right! I'm so happy~

Since I've already posted the answers on DA, so here it is (from left to right):

Sakata Gintoki from Gintama (c) Hideaki Sorachi
Shion/Sion from No. 6 (c) Atsuko Asano
Natsume Takashi from Natsume Yuujinchou (c) Midorikawa Yuki
Sawa Rakan from Silver Diamond (c) Shiho Sugiura
Ryuugamine Mikado from Durarara!! (c) Ryohgo Narita
North Italy from Hetalia (c) Himaruya Hidekaz
Sawada Tsunayoshi from Katekyo Hitman Reborn (c) Amano Akira
Okumura Rin from Ao no Exorcist (c) Kazue Kato
Takanashi Souta from Wagnaria/Working! (c) Karino Takatsu
Sanada Yukimura Gakuen Basara-version (c) ???

In the end, no one managed to guess No.4 due to the fandom being quite small (seeing as the series has yet to be animated) but someone did manage to guess 9 of them right even though they named two only by series.
It made me really happy because it means that my drawings are recognizable enough. I've seen a few others who also did this meme and some of them, when I looked at the answers, I was like 'o rly?' since I knew the character but could not recognize it. It's mostly due to the artist's style but...meh.

I chose to go with a 'sleep' theme, as you can see. It was fun coming up with their different poses. I tried to add an external feature that would help make them more recognizable. Like Gintoki's sword, Mikado's handphone, Tsuna's pet and Natsume's book of friends.

I'd like to try something like this again in the future
^^

When I Feel Like I've Worked Hard

2011-09-06T02:38:00.000+08:00

I make it into my wallpaper.

Also, I recently just noticed that Pixiv is more international friendly now. They have a 'global' option for the address. So, I think I'm going to work hard over there too from now on.

I've also been more active on DA lately but that's only because this is still sem break. I hope I can keep up this drawing streak for a bit longer. My skills have really went down when I had that hiatus.

Oh, I also need to get to writing.

Hn.

I Want to Watch Lots of Stuff

2011-08-04T13:16:00.000+08:00

If I had to blame someone for getting me into watching all these online series,

I'd blame Anis-chan.

but she's so sweet and cute and I can't

so let's not blame anyone.

Sshhhh you didn't read the first line.

Rest assured.

Anyway, I'm, like, getting into the hang of following an anime series online.

I first started with AoEx (yep, it's that recent)

I think I was up to episode 2 or 3 when I first started it.

And now.

Now...

The list of animes I'm following/ have followed:

- Ao no Exorcist

- Gintama

- Tiger and Bunny

- Usagi Drops

- Sket Dance

- No.6

- San Natsume Yuujinchou

- Ano Hana (though this one a bit late so I'm planning on just buying the DVD)

- Blood-C

So many series, so little internet

OTL

ZETSUBOUSHITAAAAA

That aside, look what's in the preview of the coming No.6's episode!

I don't even-

Casually Watching Sengoku BASARA Without Subtitles

2011-07-31T09:56:00.001+08:00

...and I do not understand anything

YAY ME!

kahfkajdgfkadgkldsjf

shut up!

The translations suck. I can't watch it without feeling like gauging my eyes out. It feels like they took the chinese subtitles, stuck it onto Google translate and try to feed us the crap it produces.

THE GRAMMAR

God! My friend's 2nd grade grammar is better

*bashes imaginary anime head through a fourth wall*

It doesn't help that Sanada Yukimura's classic japanese completely makes no sense to me. Kojuura makes more sense than him. Oh my god....

3 things I learn from this:

1 - I should heavily consider taking proper and formal japanese classes
2 - Date Masamune's engrish is music to my ears.
3 - My sense of language is that, if the translation is not proper, I might as well not understand it all-together.

I sound like such a loser.

Anyway, I'm gonna laze around at home today like Bruno Mars 'lazy song' and imagine that I'm outside being a teenage.

(It's just that recently, I've been told that 'now I know why you don't shop like girls'.

I am really sorry for being this way; this recluse girl who's also an introvert and cannot conjure up a decent fashion sense to be acceptable in community. I'm sorry that I allow my mother to take care of my finances for me. I will work hard and get decent exam results so that I can imprint it on my resume and see it burn in the faces of my employers who would not like to hire a person with no decent work experiences.

I'm so sorry!

Sessha will work hard to find a few jobs that pay well)

Wow, look at me and my pathetic mood.

Correction: my pathetic mood and I.

*bricked by one Arthur Kirkland*

I'm just gonna roll somewhere now and wait for it to rain money.

Btw, Sanada Yukimura's abdomen...

...every time I look at it, I think, 'doesn't this guy ever get cold wearing that?' followed by some drool.

But he's 2D. He probably never had a fever.

He's also 3D in the games

but I've only seen him as 2D

So he'll always be 2D to me.

What Happens When I Have Too Much Fun In Lightwave

2011-07-20T16:10:00.000+08:00

What started from this:

...gradually....

...become...

...all...

...of...

...these...

lasdjlfkjaskldfjlsdalfkjsfk

I seriously had too much fun.

I mean, I wasn't even high on anything...

And I actually have quite a lot more.

*facepalm*

Finally decided to go with this:

No. 6

2011-07-16T06:06:00.000+08:00

SO THERE'S THIS ANIME I'M CURRENTLY INTO

LIKE AKJLAHSHFJDFSDFS

IMPORTANT NOTICE: WILL FANGIRL FOR A WHOLE SEASON. DO NOT APPROACH UNLESS YOU HAVE NO OTHER CHOICE.

alskjfaksjglad

I don't even know why it's all in caps. Tumblr must be rubbing off on me.

THAT ASIDE!

So, like, these two are obviously the main characters and episode 1 shows their meeting etc.

The one with brown hair is Sion while the one with blue hair (and supposedly gray eyes) is Nezumi(Rat)

The OP plays and you see those two as above.

Then you see these two:

And I'm like "Who the fuck are these two and why do they remind me of a pair of exorcists?"

It's obvious though that they're just grown-up version of those 2 kids.

and then....

I do a double take

And here I'm thinkin' 'That you, Sion? Your hair's a bit off.'

Course' it is. It's effing WHITE.

But, like, y'know, coming episodes are gonna explain what shit dropped to make his hair turn white.

So, yeah, let's leave it to later

And since it'd be really fun if you just went and watched the story, yourself, we'll just cut to my favourite scene:

This is the "Why'd you decide to help me" answer.

And Nezumi doesn't get mad.

Maybe it's cuz he knows puberty is gonna hit him better than it does to Sion.

AND HE'S NOT THAT TINY.

But he is undeniably girly.

At least for now.

AND THEN.

EPISODE 2 HAPPENED

They do a 4 year time skip.

Sion got kicked off his high horse because he saved Nezumi and works as a cleaner ~~not really, but still~~

Everything is clean and nothing hurts.

Except that time Sion decided to suspect the government and they try to take him to a correctional facility.

GUESS WHO CAME TO RESCUE HIM?

C'mon, c'mon

guess~

4-years-later!Nezumi

And his hair! I like his hair! I want to know how to tie my hair like that!

Then I wouldn't have to keep hairbands

Action stuff happens that I can probably watch 100 times but never get tired off!

And next week~!

Noses will bleed...

All in all.

This probably sums up the whole 2 episodes:

It's creepy, I know.

Something. I. Did. On a Whim

2011-07-04T12:58:00.001+08:00

akdjfalkshfskjdfkjsdlkfja

What did I just spent a portion of my youth on?

Drawn in PaintTool SAI, animated in Flash.

But I'm still planning on adding more frames to this. Maybe make them turn or talk or something if I can.

It's kind of like frame-to-frame animation. Something new~ something new~

Oh, and I'm not feeling very well today.

*feels like puking* UUGHHH

I Went Through a Bleach-manga Marathon

2011-06-02T22:17:00.000+08:00

I think I went around mentioning that I left Bleach for a year.
Haha It's kind of embarrassing.
But I've caught up! Somewhat at least...I've still got 7-8 chapters more
This year I started watching Bleach anime again (I remember posting a few screencaps of them here) and I was really, really curious about this image I saw of a long and black haired Ichigo with all these dark bandages.
(And I saw tons of spoilers on Tumblr...)
It wasn't until I saw this one page of Bleach manga on Tumblr that said:

Kurosaki Ichigo/Age 17
Hair/Orange
Eyes/Brown
Occupation/High School Student

HE CANNOT SEE GHOSTS.

that made me go, "what the...."
I was really curious and I know I don't have enough episodes to catch up (especially with all the fillers and whatnot)
So I finally decided to give the manga a try
I actually do prefer the manga over anime anytime but considering internet connection and all...
but now that I'm home so I decided to take advantage of the wireless!
My Bleach manga-marathon went over 3 days but only because I have a life outside of animanga
~~contrary to popular belief~~.

I read from chapter 350 until chapter 441...
and when you consider that 1 chapter contains between 18-20 pages per chapter...hmmm

There were a lot of scenes that I really couldn't help but love! So that's why I compiled all these for the fun of it~
It doesn't make sense unless you have read it though ^^;

It's really nice to see so much trust placed on Ichigo. I'll never get tired of it especially when it's done by people with so much pride ~~like Byakuya~~
About the part with Tousen, I was really distrustful of him even when he was weak and Captain Komamura was talking to him. It was sweet that he wanted to see Hisagi's face in his final moments. When ~~that bastard~~ Aizen killed him, I really wished it had happened.
~~Damn you, Aizen~~

Kubo-sensei, that looked like fanservice or something...
I'm totally in love with how Kubo Tite (the kanji is actually Kubo Taito but that doesn't matter) introduces the chapter titles~ It's so creative.
Oh! But that's not the only reason why I like this part. When Hirako said "This fight belongs to all of us." It reminded me a lot of how Aizen's betrayal affected each one of them, regardless if it was personally or not.
It's like, they're fighting for revenge and to defeat an evil force. Most importantly, to protect.
I dunno. I think too much into it most of the time (it helps get me into the tense atmosphere)

Soi Fon's one of those assholes you gotta love :D
The part with Isshin was mostly because I've been expecting him and go**am*** what took you so f***ing long, old man?!

Your love for your son is showing so much, Isshin. *sarcasm*
I wish Ichigo didn't say what he did. I really wanted to know what the deal was with Isshin.
Why is he a shinigami? Why was he allowed to live a human life after he lost his powers? Did he die before becoming a shinigami or was he like Ichigo? How old is he really? What's his affiliation with Urahara? With soul society? Why is he so strong? (He fought on par with Aizen for a bit) Who is he?
I think it's going to be answered in the newest arc, but I believe it'll take some time.

Home is where the heart is~
The part with Gin had me laughing despite the serious atmosphere (but really, I don't think I can stop being amused by Gin's face. I have this urge to laugh whenever I see him, scary or not) You're definitely one to talk, Gin, but I believe I can somehow feel why he'd say that to Ichigo. I think, rather than creepy, to him, Ichigo is scary in the sense that the guy can read another's intentions and emotions from his battles. I feel that maybe, he was just a bit scared that Ichigo might find out about his hatred for Aizen from his sword.
The last bit with Aizen:
DUDE, CAN YOU GET ANY CREEPIER?
That's just not normal, man!

One of the things I feel is always worth facepalming about is how easy it is to waver and brainwash Ichigo. Someone should teach him to keep a stronger will that fucking lasts
then again...it might just be his charm *rolls eyes*

More trust in Ichigo <3 aldkhalsdhglakhsdfls Tensa Zangetsu is so adorable~~ Scary, yes, but so cute!
Okay, so around this time, my eyes are already watering because I've already read and seen the spoilers, like I said above. It wasn't hard to put two and two together especially when it had been shown that his father shares the same technique as Ichigo and that he had, until recently, lost his powers. When Zangetsu said, "What you want to protect is not what I want to protect...!" I kind of sobbed a bit.

I didn't realize AT ALL that Keigo and Mizuiro weren't close. I know from the episodes that Mizuiro doesn't give Keigo much damn but I didn't realize that about the only thing that is keeping them acquinted was Ichigo.
It's....It's kind of sad...yet cool. For Ichigo at least.

When I first saw Keigo with a zanpakutou, I was like, "askjfhsdfcdsfjk don't tell me he's secretly a shinigami!"
Of course he is not. Damn. But I definitely like that idea haha~
The part with Chizuru made me realize that it was good that the three of them - at least - had realized Ichigo's secret. It would have been bad otherwise.
Actually I felt something deeper but I'm already a dork enough without having to add my 2-cents about it.

MIZUIRO SINCE WHEN WERE YOU THIS FUCKING COOL?!
That was totally unexpected. I knew he was cool-headed but nothing to that extent
I'm seeing him in new light 0A0

I think I can say it here now.
I always had a suspicion that Gin wasn't loyal to Aizen. Maybe it's just how he interacts with them all or the way he carries himself. I dunno. I can see that he doesn't care much for Soul Society but I always felt his loyalty was not with Aizen.
but it's no use saying it now. Not like anyone is gonna believe me >.>
and w00t! More faith in Ichigo~ Go Ichigo~!
Plus, Ichigo with longer hair is so fu- I mean, cool. Yeah.

Ichigo being bad-ass <3 Oh, and Aizen cracked the moment he talks too much. His words are so confusing and so self-absorbed. I kind of wish Ichigo was cold-hearted or brave enough to split his head open and kill him there and then. No one seems to die in Bleach, I wouldn't have minded much if Aizen did!
I mean, Ichigo gave up his shinigami powers just so Aizen could get locked up? That sucks.

My tears.
TTATT
Seeing Zangetsu cry (in that adorable form to boot) will always tug at my heartstrings.
I hate farewells! Why can't you say 'see you later'? It's a fuckin' prayer! ;A;

Kyouraku's Face.
omgwtflol
Byakuya's such an amusing bastard. He'll never cease to amuse me.
Relax there, Yama-jii, you'll burst a vein HAHAHA
Points for Kyouraku though since he said the haori is stylish
Love Zaraki's reason though. It does look like a pain in the ass.
Eavesdropping!Ukitake is cute

My tears.
They now double.
;A;
Rukia, you better have something to do in the next arc! You can't leave Bleach like that! ~~Especially since you're the first character Kubo Tite drew for this series.~~
I've been reading a lot of bashing from fangirls who hate Rukia and Orihime. It saddens me. Those two are Ichigo's source of determination and although they sometimes can't help being damsels, they are still strong in their own right.

Click to view larger
So, a new arc begins with the setting being 1 year and 5 months after Aizen's defeat. Ichigo is leading a normal life and everyone has new hairstyles.
Ichigo fucking has sideburns~ It's so badass, man. (I hope he doesn't let them grow into a goatee. The horror!)
Yuzu is cuter and taller while Karin has boobs. Hahaha~ I wonder if she still plays soccer.
Eh...Sado is um...well...I'm not much into shaggy-looks but I guess it might just be his blood ^^;
Ishida decided to part his hair differently and tuck his hair behind his ear. hhhhhnnngg ~~one of my kinks y'know~~
Orihime looks more mature and I absolutely love the new hairstyle. She's still much in love with Ichigo (hard not to be) and Ichigo's still as oblivious as ever (the lucky guy)
Keigo just let his hair longer. That's about it, I think. It makes him look cooler though but his personality is still...
Mizuiro, for a moment I couldn't recognize you at all! Haha~ it's not too bad a haircut but I totally hadn't expected that ^^;
Tatsuki just grew a tail lol
Jinta got taller~
Ururu grew cuter~

I love all the new changes~ (w-well maybe less for Sado but...) I can't wait to finish catching up
and that's all from this crazy and absurd fangirl!
Anyone who actually read up to here is just. So. Fucking. Amazing. Not gonna lie.

It's times like this that Photoshop becomes such a scary program...

*shudders*

Oh, and please don't ask me to edit your picture into something like this. It's so troublesome ;A;

I only did this for my Digital Photography Assignment

Other than that, this week is the last submission date for everything and we've got several presentations to prepare for (I have 4)

Busy, busy, busy!

Next week is Finals already!

Lounge with the Boys

2011-04-27T04:50:00.002+08:00

These are my 13 favourite boys from 13 different series~!
Some of them I've drawn a lot of like Italy and Allen but there are also some that I've never drawn even though I love them all the same like Ichigo and Kyon.

As you can see, most of them are major characters (more like, all of them). I guess I just have a thing for characters who get to appear a lot ^^; Regretfully, there are still a

lot of boys that I would have loved to add in like Natsume from Natsume Yuujinchou and Sawa Rakan from Silver Diamond but it was starting to seem cramp @A@

I'm sorry if some of them aren't recognizeable ;A; I have nothing else to blame but my own style.

Y'know if they were all in an AU world created by me, they'd all be dormmates! While I was drawing them, I was mulling over thoughts like this ^^;

From right to left!

Sawada Tsunayoshi

series: Katekyo Hitman Reborn

He's called the youngest brother in the dorm because of his attitude and height. When faced with life threatening situations, he takes on a split personality of someone cool and strong. Secretly, his family is linked to the mafia. Occasionally, his 'family' comes to visit him.

Kyon

series: Suyumiya Haruhi no Yuutsu

He only wants to do his own stuff but somehow always gets roped into other people's problems by other people. For some reason, he is pretty used to a lot of things, namely aliens, time-travellers and espers but this is only due to something happening at his previous highschool. He is a rational-thinker and sarcastic but with enough force, he is easy to push around.

North Italy a.k.a Feliciano Vargas

series: Hetalia

Carefree and can't really read the atmosphere well, he often goes running to the 'big brothers' when he gets into trouble. Whines a lot about how very little girls there are (seeing as it's an all-boys school) However, he is a great cook (rivaled only to Sebastian) and loves to feed them up. The others' biggest concern is his habit of sleeping naked in other people's bed.

Sebastian Michaelis

series: Kuroshitsuji

He's the dorm's leader and is responsible in keeping everyone in line. It's troublesome work but he takes it as a challenge and does everything perfectly. His biggest headache is one Uzumaki prankster and whoever gets dragged into it.

Ryuugamine Mikado

series: Durarara

Often labelled as one of the 'younger brothers' but he's pretty capable of taking care of himself. He is protective of his friends and can be playful. Sometimes, without realizing it, he is dragged into problems (namely by one Uzumaki) He doesn't mind it much though because it keeps his life interesting. He may not look like it, but he is the leader of a powerful group.

Edward Elric

series: Hagane no Renkinjutsushi

Has a temper that matches his height. Very studious but somehow he's very good in fighting as well. Sometimes he would team up with Uzumaki Naruto to cause havoc. His little brother often comes to visit to see if he has destroyed half the school (whether from science or his own fist)

Takuto Tsunashi

series: Star Driver: Kagayaki no Takuto

The dorm's pretty boy. He's friendly and caring. Charming by nature and can fight well. His weapon of choice is two swords.

Uzumaki Naruto

series: Naruto

The school's infamous prankster. Despite his playful attitude, he is loyal and protective of his friends and would willingly go through the depths of hell to help them. Headstrong and straightforward, sometimes he is his own downfall.

Li Shenshung a.k.a Hei

series: Darker than Black

Mysterious and quiet, everyone in the dorm suspects that he's affiliated with something dangerous but he's reliable when it comes down to it. Speaks only when necessary and has a liking to staring at water. Or black cats.

-lower line-

Kurosaki Ichigo

series: Bleach

One of the 'big brother', he's always seen with a glare on his face but the other's have long figured out that he has a gentle heart. Despite appearance, kids somehow are naturally attracted to him. He's protective of his friends and family and would even break the rules to do what he believes is right.

Sakata Gintoki

series: Gintama

Behind his ultimate lazy and old man attitude, lies the silver heart of a fighter. He wants to seem nonchalant but at any sign of danger, he is quick to protect those close to him. That is how he managed to land himself within the label of big brother.

Allen Walker

series: D.Gray-man

A person with an appetite bigger than himself. He can be kind and he can be evil, depending on how someone treats him. He can do exorcism and is often seen talking with Ichigo because both of them can see ghosts. The scar on his face makes him the target of bullies so somehow, he is pushed into the label of younger brother (who gets protected by the big bros)

Nozomu Itoshiki

series: Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei

An extreme pessimist. In the beginning, the entire dorm has a hard time preventing him from commiting suicide but once they realize he doesn't have the gut to kill himself, they let him do what he wants. Gintoki even makes it a hobby to urge the guy. His good point is...well...um...he has a unique way of looking at things?

All of these aren't actual characterisation of them though! It's just my mind being weird again and wanting to fit them all into a small family-like setting.

Changes

2011-04-23T04:56:00.000+08:00

How did this boy...

...become such a cold guy?

Okay, well I've been watching Bleach is all.
The Pendulum episode was really depressing. I don't like Urahara with such a sad expression on his face
;A;

I Wanted to Update but Had a Hard Time Figuring About What

2011-04-20T23:19:00.003+08:00

So while I think something up, look at this image of a defeated Grimmjow
0vo
I didn't know this guy was capable of looking like that since he always had that shit-eating grin on his face
(Oddly enough I always rofl when I see it)

This is what my current desktop looks!
Ah, I wanted to talk about this amazing series called Durara but I haven't gone and captured screenshots of it yet.
I've only managed to do a few sketches lately but I wanna draw more Mikado~!
And Shizuo. I love that guy!

W-well this sketch ^ is a really bad one of him but you get the picture right?

Ah, and Anis-chan said something like "Izaya-san is a professional troll. You either hate him or love him"

and what felt like the first time ever, I hate a cool bishie like Izaya.

When has something like that ever happened?

Well, maybe it's what I feel towards Sasuke but there was a point in time that I actually liked that Uchiha bastard.

As for Orihara Izaya, it just went from 'I think I can like this guy' to 'damn this bastard should get kicked in the balls'

Ganbatte Shizuo-san! I know one day you'll be able to get to this guy!

Play with Highlights!

2011-04-06T20:56:00.000+08:00

In in some kind of art slump right now because I can't seem to get myself to work on something I specifically want so lately I've been doodling a lot. Whilst all the doodling, I still try to remember to practice on my colouring and shading. ~~my lineart is still a wreck though. I can't seem to perform as well in SAI as I did in PS~~
That aside, I found a new activity that is fun to do and can help improve on the shades a bit~
So I made a tutorial! In case I forgot lol

So let's get to it then!

First and foremost!

Sketch

Nothing interesting about this one...

Lining

I decided to give it a bit of the inking. I do miss doing linearts like this. For some reason, no matter the thickness of the point, it'll feel cleanest if I do this type of lineart lol.
I shouldn't have to do a tutorial for that as well, do I?

place a dark colour as the background

It is advisable to choose a colour that has a lighter tone than the lineart (if you are the kind to not use black lines, like me) Although I named it base colour, the colour you choose will also act as a shadow since you will be playing with the highlights.

It will look like this

Now we're moving onto the actual shading!
Let's start!

Choose a lighter tone

This is basically how I choose the colours. See the arrows I drew above? That's the general direction to choose the colours. Likewise, when choosing darker tones, you just move it in the opposite direction. The colour mixer might look different in PS and in SAI but it works just the same way.

First shading

I chose a colour that is nearest to the bg colour for this. Notice how I kind of coloured both characters completely? I wanted to show that their shirts are light coloured. I will be layering on more shades on parts that should have lighter colour or that will definitely be facing the light source. If you squint (or click on the above image to see its full version) you'll see that Hibari's (the guy who's slightly out of frame)shirt is coloured more while his jacket is coloured less. This is because his shirt is of light colour (white) while his jacket is of dark colour (black). Despite it being black, it will still need highlights to show where it faces the light source, right?

The setting for the brush

I let the opacity remain mostly within 20%-40% and use the blur tool a lot. It's not impossible to do the same in PS. Keep the opacity just as that and keep the blur tool at a high opacity (perhaps 50% to 70%)

2nd shading and light source

I'm just showing the general direction of the light source. You don't actually need to draw arrows like that (but if it helps you, go on)
You can see that I've started to define the folds in the clothes. That's why I keep the brushes at low opacity most of the time. It's easier to shape them like that.

3rd shading, more shaping

Around this part, I've also started using a low opacity eraser to define the shadows. I have the erasor at 10% opacity.

final highlighting and shaping

It's okay if you colour outside of the lineart. We'll be cleaning that up next.

Erase unneeded shades

Add shadows

I know I said we'd be playing with highlights but some places do need to be darker. but I only use one dark shade to do his pupils and some more shaping in the folds.

Adjust the colours

And we're done~! That's about it really. It's quite fun actually. I wouldn't mind doing it again lol.
I hope it helps somewhat ^^;

That One Day Every Week

2011-04-02T01:26:00.001+08:00

Remember when I mentioned Fridays turn me into some kind of hormonal monster?

alkdjfaklshagklshgkdsfkdj

Happened again, yeah~!
Sir was so cute today, too!
Actually I saw him a lot this week~ I found out where his table is~ accidentally of course but it's not like it makes any different, uh-huh. I haven't gone so low as to start stalking.

Anyway, my not-so-very-secret crush aside, today was both a good and bad day~
I think I mentioned it before but I really love teamwork and my 2D animation team has really stepped forward and done their part. I feel so proud of them somehow!

This week had been really hectic for us and I couldn't even get the portion of work - that I was supposed to finish - done on the due date. Thankfully, Nad-san pulled us together and arranged for us to meet up Friday morning.

As a leader (I think I am, am I?) I felt a bit embarrassed by this since I couldn't even do something simple like that. It might seem something small to you but one of the qualities I always seek for in a leader is the ability to keep us together and, seeing as I'm always bitching about how leaders I have had the experiencing of working together with are either assholes or useless, this was a blow to my pride and my principles.

I will try my best in the future. We have an upcoming database group assignment and I'm looking forward to giving it my all if they make me the leader. IF they make me the leader. I'm already hetare as it is.

Back to Friday morning, it didn't start out too good. I woke up with bad cramps from sleeping on the floor but at least I woke up pretty early. I tried to finish my portion of the 2D assignment (model sketch) but by the time 8AM rolled by, I had to call it quits. Nothing much happened. I put on extra face powder even though I know 80% of it will be gone even before I reach college.

While waiting for the bus, my foot slipped and I fell into a ditch in front of a rather big crowd. Me being me, I apologized to the lady in front of me for startling her and acted as if nothing had happened. I even went so far as to ignore the pain in my leg (which I'm starting to feel now).

Regrettably, I arrived later than the appointed time. The bread I shoved down my throat nearly killed me but I survived somehow. Who knew bread could be that solid? I didn't even get to sip on my Latte before I was dashing inside the library and meeting up with Nad-san and Ak-kun.

She was responsible for colouring the storyboard. She even lined the drawings with pen - which, obviously, I was supposed to do but got caught up in other things. Nad-san, you're a real life saver!

I still had to finish my model sketches then and bitched a lot about how "I can't make it! I'll never be able to finish this!" Zi-kun arrived later on and both her and Ak-kun got roped into colouring the storyboard. I was really amazed by Nad-san's ability to give orders! She's really more leader-material than I am.

By the time the battery on my laptop was showing signs of comatose, Ak-kun arranged for us to stay in one of the meeting rooms with the sockets. Once we were in the privacy of the room (with CCTV of course) all hell broke loose. We practically littered the table with all sorts of stuff. It gradually got difficult to see the tabletop even.

Rieya-chan arrived a bit after that to discuss an assignment with Zi-kun. Nad-san and I, having taken the subject that they were pouring over (and they were also learning under Sir), interfered on their discussion a lot to the point where Zi-kun got aggravated. Sorry, Zi-kun! Rieya-chan! But it definitely lifted the mood within our group (that had gotten pretty tense from all those storyboard colouring)

I never actually managed to finish my part but I was advised to go through an anything-goes thinking. It was the same for the storyboard too - some two objects don't have the same colour.

By 2, we cleaned up and went down to print the model sketch as well as our Principles of Animation assignment. There was quite some panic there and Zi-kun got terribly pissed. I felt a bit guilty for having worked them so hard so I offered to buy lunch. It wasn't anything pricey but it was rice. We faced some trouble with binding the whole storyboard and I got really anxious that I lost my appetite.

Oh yeah, I also told Zi-kun and Nad-san that I like like Sir like that. I even said, 'like how a girl likes a guy' but in the end I don't think they actually understood me. Or maybe they just can't wrap their minds around the idea of me liking a guy like that? I dunno. I've been pretty uninterested all this while so I can understand the awkwardness of putting 'me' and 'in love' in one sentence.

Oh well.

We eventually arrived at class a bit late but thankfully Sir had yet to arrive.

As per usual, I became a nervous wreck. Something went wrong with the binding after all. Zi-kun finally rescued us and I calmed down considerably (considerably; seeing as I banged my head twice on the table a minute before)

I added some more bit and pieces of information on our storyboard when Sir finally decided to grace us with his appearance. After setting up his laptop and the projector, he went around to collect our assignment.

Nad-san said something like, "You're staring at him so much, you're not even blinking" but I decided to let that comment go unresponded. I think my mind is playing tricks on me. I keep having this hallucination that Sir glanced at me when he asked for our assignments. Of course, he's actually staring at our assignment that I deliberately left on the table ~~but a girl can dream~~.

Fuck. We were all so bloody nervous. I could tell from the looks on our faces. I was probably the worst out of all of us.

In the storyboard, we had these dividers to separate some parts like storyline, rough sketch, storyboard, etc... and Zi-kun used a lot of the images I had posted on our group blog on the dividers. It even had one of Hima~~papa~~ruya's Feli drawing! Sir pointed out to a drawing of a scowling Lovi that I drew some time ago and asked me, 'did you draw this using the computer?' and I was all nods and stutters. I really can't trust myself to talk normally with Sir. This is going to be a big problem, uh-huh.

I can't quite remember at which part of class it happened but Sir had asked about our team and seemed to have thought I did most of the work on the storyboard. It's not true and I told him we had all done it together. He seemed a bit skeptical and I felt really bad then when he said, "Don't worry, I will ask you a few questions about this and I'll know if you had done it [together]" It felt 3 times worse when he said that while looking at them. I tried to salvage the situation (and the fact that I had done little to defend them) by reminding them that the drawing style of the storyboard was not mine (seeing as Nad-san was the one who lined it).

I really hope they don't hold anything against me. Given the opportunity, I won't hesitate to defend them in the future.

I should also tell you that, our storyboard was the ONLY one complete and accepted. Everyone else (like last week) had to fix on something and will have to re-submit it by Monday. Class continued on as normal after that and Sir finally got to teaching us the practical stuff in flash. We will be moving to the computer lab a lot more now.

Oh
and I found out I have to re-do EVERYTHING in flash
Life is so wonderful

damn it

Lights and Camera

2011-03-27T01:21:00.000+08:00

We actually got to play around in the studio the other day. I took a lot of pictures of Mentos for the Still Life assignment but at the end, we took the opportunity to shed some light on something else completely.

The backdrop was disheartening. It was dirtied by students' footprints. We could actually wash the canvas (my lecturer said so) but in the beginning, we weren't even supposed to take any model pictures lol.

Good thing my lecturer left us to our own devices or else I wouldn't have been able to go crazy.

Just so you can see the extent of dirt on the backdrop:

Have I ever told you how amazing Photoshop is?

This Type of Doll is Actually Scary

2011-03-23T01:07:00.000+08:00

Don't you think?

Well, not really. I think it's pretty cute.

*brickd*

Ah...but I really miss the days I can just lounge around drawing all day.

It's so hectic nowadays, sometimes I wish there's just a pause button so that I can take a short breather.

Tomorrow, even though I don't have a paper to sit for, I still have to go to college to settle our 2D assignment.

My teammates are so hardworking

OTL

Minna, ganbatte kudasai!

*said with a weeping voice*

Paint and the Like

2011-03-22T08:01:00.000+08:00

We have a Still Life assignment due next week for our Digital Photography Class. Yet I can't find enough inspiration to get myself a decent concept.
I hope we get to play around in the studio soon...
Oh, my desktop's newest look:

Using my own photos this time~

In Midterm Mode

2011-03-21T23:28:00.000+08:00

The view from the Havela building is quite nice~

aslkhdfaskd

It's already midterm!

But when Rieya-chan and I talked about it, we agreed that we barely felt the midterm atmosphere at all.

What should we do?

TTATT

That 'Let's Work Hard and Study Smart' feeling is so little

I'm worried about our future.

And recently I started craving for fast foods. It's so troublesome!

Camera Shot

2011-03-19T20:48:00.001+08:00

Since sensei ended up actually forgetting about me Camera Shots presentation, I think I'll leave it here. I worked quite hard on it as well.

Introduction
A camera shot is the amount of space that is seen in one shot or frame. Camera shots are used to demonstrate different aspects of a film's setting, characters and themes. As a result, camera shots are very important in shaping meaning in a film.

Extreme Wide Shot

An extreme wide shot contains a large amount of landscape. It is often used at the beginning of a scene or a film to establish general location (setting). This is also known as an establishing shot.
Other examples:

Very Wide Shot

A very wide shot contains landscape but gives the viewer a more specific idea of setting. A long shot may show the viewers the building where the action will take place.
Other examples:

Wide Shot

A wide shot contains a complete view of the characters. From this shot, viewers can take in the costumes of characters and may also help to demonstrate the relationships between characters.
Other examples:

Mid Shot

A mid shot contains the characters or a character from the waist up. From this shot, viewers can see the characters' faces more clearly as well as their interaction with other characters. This is also known as a social shot.
Other examples:

Medium Close Up

A medium close-up contains the subject in more detail and are often framed from just below the shoulders to the top of the head.
Other examples:

Close Up

A close-up contains just one character's face. This enables viewers to understand the actor's emotions and also allows them to feel empathy for the character. This is also known as a personal shot.
Other examples:

Extreme Close Up

An extreme close-up contains one part of a character's face or other object. This technique is quite common in horror films. This type of shot creates an intense mood and provides interaction between the audience and the viewer.
Other examples:

Two Shot

A two-shot contains a shot of two people (or other individuals) together, framed similarly to mid shot.
Other examples:

Over the Shoulder

An over the shoulder contains a shot from behind the person towards their subject. Generally the frame is cut off just behind the ear, although there are several variations. A good technique to use to get this shot is to frame the person facing the subject with about one third of the frame.
Other examples:

Point of View

A point of view is an effective shot that gives the audience the feel that you’re seeing it from the eyes of the performer. It is taken from near the eye-level of the actor and shows what he might see. It could be used to give the perspective of other animals too like a frog, a bird, or a fish.
For example:

Bird’s Eye View

A bird’s eye view is a camera angle that looks down upon a subject. A character shot with a high angle will look vulnerable or small. These angles are often used to demonstrate to the audience a perspective of a particular character.
Other examples:

Eye-level View

An eye-level angle puts the audience on an equal footing with the character/s. This is the most commonly used angle in most films as it allows the viewers to feel comfortable with the characters.
Other examples:

Worm’s Eye View

A worm’s eye view is a camera angle that looks up at a character. This is the opposite of bird’s eye view and makes a character look more powerful. This can make the audience feel vulnerable and small by looking up at the character. This can help the responder feel empathy if they are viewing the frame from another character's point of view.
Other examples:

Selective Focus

By using a large aperture value (f/1.4, f/2.0) you will be able to create a shallow depth of field. This effectively leaves one part of the frame in focus while blurring others, such as the foreground or background. When you change the focus in the shot from the foreground to the background you’re doing another advanced camera shot called a rack focus.
Other examples:

Cut In

A cut-in refers to showing some part of the subject in detail. Can be used purely as an edit point or to emphasize emotion etc. For example, hand movements can show enthusiasm, agitation, nervousness etc.
Other examples:

Weather Shot

Although the usual purpose of this shot is to show the weather, it is also useful as an establishing shot, for setting the general mood or for overlaying graphics.

I hope it's helpful somehow~!
Truthfully, I enjoyed doing it quite a lot. I re-watched a lot of anime episodes just for it too.
The explanations above aren't mine though. It's from another website. I drew the black and white pictures though!
It felt like so long since I lined my hand-drawings so it was something I enjoyed doing a lot
Getting the screencaps was also fun~ Being able to re-watch my fav animes again~ It made me happy!
Ah, but somehow, I got sucked into Darker than Black.
Sore jya!
Ciao~!

That Butterfly Feeling~

2011-03-18T18:50:00.001+08:00

I'm so FUCKING HAPPY right now that I bet I'll explode if I get any more happier

Seriously, every Friday it feels like I transform into some kind of hormonal ~~monster~~ teenager. It's crazy!

I don't know which bitch claimed that it's hard to concentrate around someone you like, I find it's the opposite with me. The more I like the lecturer, the easier it is for me to accept what he/she says ~~AND I'M TOTALLY SMITTEN OVER MY 2D LECTURER!~~ But....ah...I'll have to do my best in the midterm. I'm weak against theories and definitions.

Okay, okay, enough about my fangirling.
Today, our 2D thumbnail storyboard was due. The storyline got somewhat rejected the week before so I was really adamant about doing it right the second time. (To my delight, everyone else was rejected too)

We worked really hard, as a team more now. I did the thumbnail and passed it to the 'perfect couple' for them to integrate it as a rough pass. They did quite a good job rendering my incomprehensible sketches - at least it exceeded my expectations and, seriously, I was thrilled to see our teamwork.

Zi-kun was supposed to handle our screenplay rough draft but she faced major technical difficulties that also affected her other assignments. I actually didn't mind if I had to take on her workload for the team but she really wanted to do it. In the end, it was a bit too much for her but she ended up making us an interesting cover page for our group. So, I did the screenplay. I seriously don't mind though! It's been nearly a year since I had a hand in writing a script.

Late into the night on Thursday, I was wrapping up everything that needed to get done. Early this morning, Nad-san, Ak-kun, Rieya-chan and I went to college early - for we thought we had our Digital Photography Class. It was canceled, regrettably, so we holed ourselves in the library and I did finishing touches (dialogues, camera movements, facial expression) on the rough pass.

I was supposed to present about Camera Shots this week so all throughout the morning, my stomach cramped in nervousness. It totally killed my appetite and made me feel queasy. It didn't help that my "lovely" group of friends were talking about insects in food incidents.

By the time we made it to class, I was a nervous-wreck. We had a short banter session about the recent earthquake and nuclear-poisoning that's happening in Japan but I, sadly, didn't know much about it and therefore couldn't join in as much. Rieya-chan left for home after that and that was when my nervousness escalated to many levels. My hand never stopped shaking and I bet I was really pale.

I felt sick with worry. I hoped to God my lecturer wouldn't remember about our presentation and would resume to teaching. I was also worried our storyline and rough pass would get rejected for being too simple or too long or just not enough. When other classmates began to file in, with all their versions of rough pass storyboard and storyline, I was near hyper-ventilating.

I'm pretty sure I annoyed the heck out of Nad-san and Zi-kun but all through the class I'm really thankful they put up with me.

Sensei came in after that. Oh gosh~! I think I was between paling (from fear of our assignment being rejected) and blushing (because ohmysenseiissocute!) As usual, my fear won over my lovesickness (if you can call it that) and when sensei was evaluating all the storyboards, and commenting on how to improve them (in my book, it means getting rejected) I was out of my mind with fear. One by one, he returned the storyboards to their groups with comments (It's too short, add camera shots, show the animation flow with arrows - practically everything my group has done) and, finally, he reached ours.

Oh God. Oh God. Oh God.

You can totally imagine how I felt at that time. It felt more like he was deciding punishments for my baby rather than an assignment. I swear, my stomach churned so fucking painfully and my chest tightened unimaginably, I could hardly breathe right for that matter. My hand immediately gripped Zi-kun's thigh and squeezed - cuz I was scared like that.

And you know what he said?

It was perfect.

And we fucking brightened up so much, it was heart-wrenching. I swear, it felt like I got high on happiness if that was even possible. I wanted to giggle insanely and do a weird dance. I wanted to hug my teammates too but I have social restrictions so I didn't.

Sensei ended up passing our storyboard to others so that they can learn from it. I truly didn't mind. If my hard work - because I worked my backbone off for that - could help others, I'm more than willing to share. Nad-san and Zi-kun didn't have the same idea though. They were fearful of our rough pass being manhandled but I can understand how they feel, especially Nad-san who worked hard to draw the rough pass (She told me it took her 3 days)

Really. I'm so very thankful to my teammates for being of so many help this time around. I know I grumble a lot and they have to put up with my bossiness as well as my selfish pride but it worked out somehow. In all actuality, I love teamwork just as I love my alone time. I hope this will continue until the end of the semester.

I can't wait to get to our next team work.

Oh, and I really adore my lecturer. He's so cute and his smile is really nice~ I can't wait for the next 2D class~
He spoke a bit of Malay today and I thought it was really so goddamn cute

Salty Winds

2011-03-08T23:25:00.001+08:00

We went to the beach today to get our Digital Photography assignment started.

Feels like we went quite unprepared. I kind of want to go again. Now that I know what I should and should not bring/do.
There were a lot of mistakes that I did, now that I've viewed my picture in the laptop. I'm nervous and self-conscious about them now and I really wonder if I should show them to my lecturer tomorrow.

And it's pretty late for me to break down and whine about how I don't have enough vision for photography. I will just have to make do and work hard with concentrating on the basic logic behind it.

I wonder...if I've ever cried that hard

2011-03-01T19:06:00.000+08:00

I think my pent up feelings have caught up with me.
I don't think it's as easy as blaming PMS anymore.
I have so much hatred for myself right now that it's scary.

I don't want to hate myself. I want to love myself
like I have been for so long.

Love myself for me, you know? When I think the world shouldn't love me as much as I want, I should love myself just as much
because if I don't I will break down

like I am now

I'm a woman with emotions. I'm human. Yet I hate the fact that I'm using that very reason to justify what I'm feeling now. I feel so selfish towards myself.

Ten years ago, I wouldn't have known that was even possible.
Ten years ago, I thought I hated myself but I actually loved me
Ten years later
I thought I loved myself enough to cover up that I hate me.
Now I just hate and I'm begging so much forgiveness from everyone for just hating myself.

"Hey you know, you have an admirer~"
...
"Haha What kind of reaction is that?"

I never knew being joked about something like that brought my whole fantasy crashing. Maybe it was that little glimmer of hope that some crazy nut found me attractive enough only to realize that, 'hey, man. I was joking.'

Call me desperate, call me whiny but when you're never genuinely complimented by a total stranger - let alone an acquaintance you're quite fond of - don't you just yearn for it a bit?
It's sad to admit, but I think I live off praises and compliments and, truthfully, I will admit to being selfishly hoping guys would do it.
But when they're doing it so that they can use you or doing it for a bet; hey, that stings a lot.

I think it feels like 2 or 3 years have passed since thoughts of 'you're ugly, why would anyone want to be with you?', 'you're so fucking lame I don't know why you still even have friends', 'you're an idiot for thinking some guy will like you for who you are' and 'Why do you even try so hard? No one will ever notice you' have filled my thoughts.

I think I owe a bit of it from being surrounded by amazing people. Dazzling, mesmerizing people with looks and personality that I can never accomplish. My family, my friends. I'm always envious of them and I try so hard to make it up with my hardwork, determination and usefulness. Seems like it's just not enough

Now,

Now...I feel that all the self-confidence, self-esteem I've collected from when I joined the college - at that time bracing myself for that new chapter in life - is gone.

In the end...
I can no longer deny

Loneliness does things to me.
Selfishness does things to me
because my family loves me, because my friends cherish me, because I have so many things to be so thankful of in life

because I'm a girl who wants affection she doesn't deserve

and most of all...to know that I can't pour my heart out to someone close because I'll feel selfish just makes it more lonesome. It makes me more worthless and I hate that I'll feel like I'm burdening them with problems that they'd think of as something so little but yet is so big to me.

I hope, within this week, I will gather more confidence to love myself again

So, tell me, I beg you;

What positive feeling can a person with low self esteem feel when their self esteem has been crushed?

Regarding the previous post, ^this is what I did.
It piqued only very few interests and I was really sad to note only 1 out of my five friends(or classmates if you may have it) knew about what is happening in the Middle-East. It's a bit sad but we mustn't give up.
I hope everyone will keep sending their prayers to the Libyans who are fighting for their rights.

I had this on for nearly half the day. I think it gave me a bit of idea but we'll see how things go.

Yes, that's me. ^^;
I tried a kind of self-portrait when I had a bit of privacy.
This really made me want to cry
...in sadness
because Photoshop is really amazing.

As a reminder, please don't forget to check my 2D-Animation group's blog at
1000 Words
I've just finished another scene.

Tomorrow I will rehearse for my presentation this Friday. I'm so nervous but I really want to do my best. This is important since it is for my future ~~and I have a student crush on my lect.~~
Wish me luck~!

We Are Libya

2011-02-22T23:25:00.000+08:00

I saw this on Tumblr while I was going through posts on Libya:

(via thelibyanrevolution)
This is an wonderful idea that aimbrosephstalin just had!

On Wednesday, Feb.23, everyone who supports Libya should show it by wearing the pre-Gadaffi Libyan flag somewhere on their person! You can wrap the flag around your hand or paint it somewhere on your body, o...r draw it on a shirt, it doesn’t matter, just have it on you! You can even carry around a pamphlet giving information about this as well so people become more aware of the situation in Libya! The whole point of this, is that when people ask…”What’s that?” You start to explain how it’s the Libyan flag and the reason you have it on is because of the genocide that is occurring in Libya right now! This results in more people knowing and more people supporting the cause until the government finally falls under the pressure of its people’s words and takes a step of action!
Stop the violence. Stop the blood from spilling. Support the Libyan People!

Thank you so much iambrosephstalin, this is an amazing idea! You’re amazing!

Also, the lovely woman made a facebook group about this day:
JOIN IT AND SPREAD IT TO YOUR FRIENDS. We need everyone to know about these massacres! I’m joining right now!

And...well I cried a lot when I read the things that are happening there. I feel a lot useless now for I can only offer prayers and spread awareness.

And about spreading awareness:

(via mindheist)

Spreading Awareness | What does it mean? Why do we do it?

Spreading awareness throughout each country in the world — throughout every city, every household — can help save lives. I know there are some people out there who don’t believe that one can help make a change. That’s a bunch of bullshit. One reblog, one text post, one tweet, or one status or whatever else — they can, indeed, make a difference. One can lead to tens, which can then lead hundreds, which can then lead to thousands, to hundreds of thousands, and so on. Awareness can potentially save endangered life, whether it leads to donations or whatever else.

However, that gives you no reason whatsoever to call people “disgusting” or “inhumane” for not reblogging a post that helps spread awareness. I have seen countless posts saying “if you don’t reblog this, you’re disgusting.” Just because they don’t reblog a post, that does not make them any less of a good person. How do you know that the people who aren’t reblogging the post are trying to spread awareness in their personal lives, instead of online? You don’t. You’re trying to force people to reblog things, because they think that people will possibly hate them for not reblogging that certain post. Though that may sound okay because they do end up reblogging that post, it’s not. If someone didn’t want to reblog that post, because they’ve probably reblogged another post much like it before, so what? That doesn’t make them awful. Yes, the more awareness the better, but still. That’s no excuse to call people names. It’s fine to encourage people to reblog the post, but it’s not fine to say “if you don’t reblog this, you’re a jerk” or anything along those terms.

Spreading awareness also doesn’t mean that every single person on tumblr has to reblog every single post about every single current event happening somewhere out there in the world. If you do so, good for you. If you don’t, good for you, too. By just coming to terms with it yourself, you are spreading awareness. You’re spreading awareness by becoming aware of the things happening out there in the world. People who are saying “stop” or “shut up” to people who are reblogging posts about Libya or New Zealand or any other location or country, are actually spreading awareness because they have knowledge of everything themselves, so really, they can just shut up, because they’re telling people who are spreading awareness to shut up, which would include them.

I took this from tumblr. They have a 'reblog' option quite like blogger's 'share' and twitter's 'retweet'

As Expected...I got Busy

2011-02-19T04:42:00.000+08:00

^This got rejected in class yesterday

I don't know how to say it anymore. My predictions last year became true. I'm super busy now.
This semester, I'm taking Creative Web Design, Essentials Business Communication Skill (English 5), Introduction to Database SQL, Digital Photography and 2D Animation. Out of all that 5, I want to excel in FOUR(4) of them.

The feeling is so different from last sem! Because we focused a lot more on business and arts, my eagerness to shine kind of went downhill. There wasn't really a subject I truly liked and knew I would enjoy.

But...

BUT...

This sem turned out as if it was making up for all of that by giving me a whole bunch of subjects that I like and was looking forward to learning (well, except for English)

Creative Web Design is a subject I'm looking forward to teaching me about html, xml and css. Also, my scriptwriting lecturer is teaching that and I don't know why but I'm thrilled at the prospects of learning under her again.
Introduction to Database SQL will allow me to understand the workings of Microsoft Access, which was a topic I had to skip in high school due to time limitations and damnit if I'm not interested in that. I've been dying to learn that since I was 17!
Don't even get me started on Digital Photography. That's like my second hobby after drawing! I'm really am hoping I get to develop my creative and artistic side (which, btw, I'm really lacking).
Lastly, 2D animation. It's ANIMATION, you guys! That in itself is exciting already.

And I have a platonic student crush on my lecturer (He's from Iran btw >w<). ~~More reason to attend his class and give it my all!~~ Before you go around pining me or joking about me having a crush on some guy, the feeling is totally the same as what I feel for Ms.Xuan.
It's like a deep respect+fangirling because they're so cute and seem so nice but I know are strict and make me want to do even better in my works.
Ah....I miss Ms.Xuan.
What is it with me and foreign lecturers? >.>;

Anyway, my 2D Sir told us to make a blog for our team. So here's mine:

1000words

It was originally supposed to be about yuumei's flash comic, '1000 words' but...as mentioned above...it got rejected. I made a new storyline though! Under the same title and it involves a lot of nekotalias~! Be sure to check that blog out for cute animated kitties >w<; Anyway, I wrote this to express how truly busy I've been lately. Last week, I was out EVERYDAY of the week. It was tiring, seriously. I couldn't even sit down to draw anything decent and I still haven't. This week even! I was free on Thursday and could finally get to doing some chores at home but ended up spending most of the time studying about the history of animation for our 2D individual assignment.

Good news~! Sir had told us that he would choose 3 people who did the best on the assignment to present about it next week. I was one of them! It is truly an honour and I really felt all my hard work had paid off. I thought I wouldn't get it because of the wall of text I put and that all my images were in the appendix. What a delighted (and nerve-wrecking) shock it was to hear my name among those chosen. Thank you so much, Sir Ahmad! I will definitely do my best for the presentation next week~!

I guess the excitement from getting my hard work paid off is still running through my veins.

Our Digital Photography class has also made improvements. The first assignment has been given out. It's about shutter speed (+aperture). Although it's due in three weeks, our lovely lecturer, Ms. Lis, told us she wants to see some of our shutter speed photos by next week.

So, Rieya-chan and I will be going out tomorrow to take pictures in the busy streets of Bukit Bintang. I'm thinking there will be a lot of action there that we can snap. I'm also hoping to do some light painting if we can because we'll be out till night.

I don't think I can get down to drawing anything decent until the end of the month. It's depressing but the feeling is mostly over-ridden by the excitement of learning MultiMedia again!

Remember what I said about wanting to take more pictures in my last entry? Yeah, Rieya-chan and I are planning on going to Genting Highlands to do a photoshoot we've always dreamed of doing. It's like one of our fantasies that can come true if we work hard enough. We haven't set an actual date yet and we're not financially well at the moment...but it's definitely on our minds.

Other than that, recently I can't stop listening to Kuromyu2 (Kuroshitsuji Musical 2) It's really captivating. Even Alan and Eric's song is enjoyable to listen to. Ah well...I'll find something new to listen to soon probably.

But I'm seriously tired to the core now.

Let's go Take Pictures

2011-02-16T23:00:00.002+08:00

Classes have started. Assignments have been given but all I'm really excited about doing is taking pictures. Why is no else as enthusiastic as me?!

;A;

Let's Count Sheep Only

2011-02-04T15:51:00.004+08:00

Don't you just love the Hetalia sheep counting?
I most definitely do! And some of them really actually help.
But what's this? There are banterings in between the counts!
As cute as they are, how am I going to sleep peacefully?

*brickd*
Okay, enough with that. I'm actually doing this mostly for my sake but I just wanted to share it with you in case anyone's interested ~~or share the same problem as me~~

North and South Italy

Germany and Prussia

Hungary and Austria

Just click on the pictures and they will lead you to the mediafire link. Sorry it's all in wave(.wav) format ^^;
And there is a reason the pictures are small, you can use it without credits if you want. Just don't claim them as yours :D

Other than that,
recently I've been doing a few testing with the settings in my new Canon EOS1000D
:D
Check it out~

These pictures may not be watermarked but no stealing, okay? Credits are awesome.

My Canon's name is Elizabeth (Hungary) but let's just call her Elly

In the End...

2011-01-09T06:54:00.005+08:00

Home is where the heart is...

AND THEREFORE I SHALL RETURN HOME, YOU LOT!
GUAHAHAHAHA

In a few hours, we'll be boarding the bus home. I haven't packed the laptop yet! Oh no!
Nor have I done the laundry! Oh noes!
I'll do it in a sec.
Anyway, this is a pointless entry to gloat about how I'll be returning home and all the other university students just finished their break and is already starting a new semester.
WELL BOO HOO
While you people were rolling around at home, we had to face Der Finals!

On an unrelated news,
Oh yay, I got myself a SAI now but I still needs loads of practice.

Maybe my forte is just Photoshop >.>

I quite like the nice and intelligent part. Err..Sassy and sexy? Several people are going to laugh their butts off if I randomly declare that.

Grouchy at times and annoying to some.
...hey, everyone is grouchy at times. And annoying

Lazy and love to take it easy. But when they find a job or something they like to do they put their all into it.
First half, I'm like Greece. Second half, I'm like Germany but I do tend to do my best in things I like. BUT WHO DOESN'T, EH?!

Proud, understanding and sweet.
All I'm not. What? What? WHAT?

Irresistible.
Roll on floor laughing my freakin arse off. Hurr Hurr. I think this applies to the attractive Capricorns out there. I'm in the level where a leaf would be more fascinating to stare at.

Loves being in long relationships.
YES but then no one wants to be in a relationship with me so no one can see that I'm a LOVABLE and LOYAL person! Fine! Go and get all those distrustful whores who'd just want a two minute quickie in your pants and leave us who'd actually give our hearts on a platter for you! *huff huff* Men.

Great talker. Always gets what he or she wants.

Cool.
I think my arse has fallen enough for today...

Loves to win against other signs especially Gemini’s in sports.
Since I'm not a sports person, this cannot be proven. BUT I DOUBT

Likes to cook but would rather go out to eat at good restaurants.
BET YOU PEOPLE THOUGHT I'D BITCH ABOUT THIS but yes, I actually like to cook. Alone. But since I'm pretty English in this matter, let's just leave the cooking to the French.

Extremely fun. Loves to joke.
This description is either very wrong or I'm just failing as a Capricorn ON SO MANY BLOODY LEVELS. I love hearing jokes but suck so much at making them and am not fun at all. I have a stick up you-know-where the size of Tokyo Towers

Smart.
I can't tell. Other people will have to be the judge of this.

In the end...if you notice all the description are just going around the same thing...in general. So, eh, don't take it too seriously or something. I just did it for the lulz ~~and the cooking part~~

Ni Jyu Sai

2011-01-03T03:49:00.002+08:00

Ni Jyu Sai is 20 years old in Japanese.
which soo happens to be...my age currently.

I've actually been expecting a rather somber birthday with late and awkward wishes as well as spending most of it reminiscing about being a teenager.
So thank you so much to those who have wished me Happy Birthday
and have given me early birthday presents that I had never expected to get.
Thank you~!
Turning 20 is nerve-wrecking due to all the implication I have made it hold
so there is no other words than Thank you that I can offer now for easing my heart.

Comic Fiesta 2nd Day Report

2010-12-22T15:58:00.005+08:00

Cross-posted on Deviantart
Really. I should postpone writing this since it's 4:23AM!!! Whaaaat thheeee...cheese?
Anyway, because I can actually stick pictures in a journal for the mean time (and I'm still a bit down that I have, like, 2 days left of subs) you can haz pic spam~!

I love her cosplay. Seriously people.

Oh but before that, I gotta apologize for how shitty the pictures come out. I have bad photography skills and the lighting wasn't that good. Plus, I only have Nikon Coolpix at hand. ~~it's not DSLR at any rate~~
but a pic spam it will be!!

I think he makes a pretty cool Bard really.

Started the day in a not so good condition. I was a bit grauchy from the lack of sleep and my sister took forever to get ready. I nearly bit her head off. It was 11 by the time we moved out of the house and arrived past noon OTL

;v; I was happy they turned my way for some reason orz

I kind of regretted eating before entering CF because my tummy went cold from drinking Twister's apple juice and + the not so yummy bread = tummy gets upset :(

S-so tall ;v;

but once we were outside the hall I was okay, stomach pain be darned.

Snap and ruuuuuuun. So sorry ^^;

THERE WERE SO MANY PEOPLE!! Agh! Most of my time spent at CF is squeezing through the crowds.

I feared for the safety of my belongings, sanity and...well purity or something but I don't mind that. I mean, I expected CF to be crowded. I just hope the organizers will choose a bigger place next year? For a minute I did get worried because...we're on the 14th floor. The floor won't crumble from our weight, right? OTL

TvT Renoooo. I actually wanted a picture of Reno since Day 1

I tried ditching my sister a lot *evil sister*
but she keeps pulling me back, y'know? It's a good thing she had that lolita meet-up today and I coaxed her to approach the group. ~~Well, I more of scolded her to 'f***ing ask them already!!!'~~ so I dropped her there and in the speed of a random civilian on a busy CF day, I went inside the hall.

Lol, the moment I enter, I hear SNSD's Gee playing and I'm like "ksjfhakfakjsdsdf I bet someone's dancing on stage." Lo and behold.

Yeah. Cosplayers were dancing to it. I was at the back of the crowd and cursing my shortness when SNSD's Genie started playing. Lol, the cosplayer standing next to me danced to it too. ~~I did too, but that's irrelevant~~

Right after, I made a beeline to the Artist booth and immediately looked for Mousou-Garden booth. I waited so long to buy that doujin from ryo-hakkai" that when I had it in my hand I had this keening urge to laugh like a madman and do a weird jiggle. I didn't anyway since pride, shame and ego grabbed me by the shoulders and forced me to walk away.

One of the best shots I've got of them T_T I'm so incompetent

I went for kidchan's Illustration book next. asldakhdsfldf I've been eye-ing it since yesterday but now I'm really glad I bought it on the second day rather than the first because it's quite inspiring to me. The illustrations in the book that is. ~~Germany and Rome 0.o!!?~~
I've gone through the book more than 5 times now TvT

Kuroshitsuji again. Masters and Butlers

After that I went walking around the artist booth again for what felt like the umpteenth time. It's good thing I have this Canada-like-tendency to not be seen or else someone would've noticed I passed their booth for, like, a dozen times already and messed up their table again orz sorry for those who I might've done that to TT_TT

Lolita-gathering of some sort.

My sister called me out right after to take a picture of that^ but I fled the scene right after to go chase after some random cosplayer with shiny clothes.

I think I spend too much time taking pictures of Kuroshitsuji cosplayers @_@

I don't remember much of what happened next. I think I (literally) chased after some skirts and was on the look-out for more Hetalia cosplayers.

Wow

My sister calls and tells me she's going to go join the other lolitas to eat. EAT. Without me. So I told her to buy me candies.

Anyway, back inside again, I spent some time watching whatever's going on on-stage.

S-so cute *3*

It's embarrasing to admit but I'm thrilled to see the same MCs. I wonder if they've been MCing for CF since ages ago. I've only gone to 2 CFs anyway and I took quite a liking to them already TTvTT

She makes such a lovely Hungary. Thank you for letting me take a picture of you >3<~<3

Side-tracking for a bit. When I took this picture, in my head I was playing the part in Chibitalia's sheep count CD where he goes "Hungary-san~ Hungary-san~! Gohan ni pasta demasuka~?" Or something like that. ~~I fail at Japanese anyway~~ lol, I fail so much.

Grell~~<3

Anyway! Solo Cosplay Competition! Or the moment I had a lot of 'WTH happened?' and can also be interpreted as 'lolwhut' moment.
Well, I tried my best but I couldn't really...understand what they were going about. I think doing it solo seems pretty hard. I only watched a bit. By 2:30 I left the hall to go outside. Again.

Giiiiiiiiiin-saaaaaaaaaan Dannaaaa---*mauled by Okita* I hope the flash wasn't too blinding. I'm so sorry!! @A@

My friend, who has a way cooler camera, came after that and it was difficult trying to sought her out from the massive crowd *A* We managed anyway...

I'm so happy to be able to stumble upon these three at the same time *fangasms. dies. revives*

...and somehow I left her with my sister before running off again. I really can't help it. T^T It saddens me that neither my sister nor my friend are big fans of anime. It just breaks my heart to get excited over this and that cosplay or fan merchandise and turn around to see their blank faces.

>w<>

Back inside~! Again. Honestly, sometimes I wonder why I go through all the trouble of squeezing between the sweaty bodies just to get inside, walk through artist booth, squeezing and wheezing and whining, just to get out, breath again, join the crowd outside and go right back in again. Rinse and repeat as you see fit.

Really happy to be able to see more FMA. Sorry I interrupted you ;A; I hope I didn't look too deranged

This year I didn't want to focus totally on Hetalia so I bought a few stuff from other series too like ~~1827~~ Reborn and Gintama. Wish I bought more Gintama stuff though ;v; Oh well. Next year, hopefully.

It's like stepping back in time *v*

I met and lost my sister a number of times but it's a good thing she has her lolita stuff to keep her occupied. She didn't whine so much about me not taking her pictures. It makes me happy. Truly. I never did like to get on her nerves or get her on my nerves.

So cool!! *A* I hope Kanda's face was really because the cosplayer is in character ~~I disturbed them while they were talking TT^TT~~ I'm so sorry!!

By 5PM we were ready to call it quits. And so we did.

Chinaaaaa

Stopped by the Berjaya TS mall before heading home. My sister got stared at a lot for her lolita dress but she likes attention so all is fine.

Dunno what's going on, really :\

Arrived home at 7PM. Immediately, I worked my way through the stuff I bought. Spent more than RM100 this time around. So, it's instant noodles until the next time my mom banks in money for me OTL

Grell, the enthusiastic stalker >w>

While waiting for the bus, I went through kidchan's illustration book. I really love it. I'm inspired to draw better now. I've been ogling it since I got home and watching every line and detail to see if I can improve somewhere. Anywhere.

Mini-Okitaaaaaa!! Seriously loved this moment. Sorry I disturbed you guys. I nearly lost them to the sudden sea of crowds. Thank you for still letting me take your picture *bows*

So, hopefully I'll get back to drawing soon now that the fairytale is over. I've still got loads of assignments to complete but I will HAVE to get to drawing or my sanity will leave me.

Double the Spain; Double the ~~pedo~~ Joy!

Oh lookie! I have no more rant. So more pictures for you~!

I just remembered her name was Taiga orz *named the file 'Cosplay - tiger.jpg'*

Lol, he was just sitting there between a Cloud and Naruto cosplayer.

This picture was originally dark. Brightening it didn't turn out so good OTL

And I saved the best for last:

I didn't catch them at a naughty time or anything. It was like a snap and run. Thank you for letting me take pictures of your awesome self~!

Okay, I was lying. I think this one was by far the most amusing thing I caught that day:

LOL

Oh and btw, for the Malaysian Hetalia fans, did you know TV3 will be showing Hetalia: Paint it White on the 29th of Dec at 9 AM? I was shocked when I saw the commercial. No one told me anything ;A;
.
.
.
.
but damnit! I saw the ending at Youtube already!
Apparently Italy saved the day so I'm happy anyway.

Lead Me

2010-12-06T04:52:00.002+08:00

Oh....my mind's buzzing. I've had two mugs of coffee so I can't sleep. My hands are shaking due to the tiredness.
lol

Okay, truthfully, I'm on a distressing period here. I've got my final project due tomorrow (well, today, if you consider the time) and my whole team is sleeping their arse off while I'm trying to finish arranging all documents and designing our posters.

It's a recipe for disaster I tell you.

Still, I have myself to blame though. I hate that I can't trust my teammates enough to let them do the hard work, like compiling all the friggin documents and putting it in order. But it's not like I haven't tried and so far none of my close friends have shown me that they can lead enough.

Which, let's steer from the topic a bit, about leading...ffff----
I hate every leader that I've ever been under. Not even ONE steps up to actually LEAD my team EVER. At least not as far as I can remember.

I don't like being the leader (and for this project, I'm not) but I hate it even more when the leader doesn't. Do. His. Freakin'. Job. What the-

Take my leader this time. A guy, a close friend of a close friend. I'm on even terms with him. I can see that he's smart...but DUDE I wish he'd just start moving the team. No, he waits until we're 3 days due before he comes around asking, "so what's going on with the project?"

DUDE Start ~~fucking~~ caring already!

Okay, fine. Everyone isn't as uptight as me. They don't have sticks the size of eiffel tower up their arse but I really wish that anyone who takes up the leader role, would start to Freakin. LEAD.

No, it has to be me who sets up our group meeting date & venue, jotes down notes, construct the business plan, look up business ideas, come up with slogan, logo and name for our company, volunteers to compile and arrange completed works by other teammates and get down to designing while he goes around chasing after some random girl's skirt. Gott! Why do I work with idiots?

It's a good thing I have hardworking and enthusiastic teammates this time around. Ugu...I don't know where I'd be without them *cyber hugs teammates* Especially our financial manager~! Dio mio! I think I'd go crazy without her! I hate numbers and hate looking it up even more so she's my blessing from above or something.

Rieya-chan has been such good moral support too~ Truthfully, without her, the project wouldn't even get going. She's the one pressing us to start moving.
...
Yeah, I reviewed the workload I gave her and ended up fixing about 40% of it.
So my tired and annoyed mind is having trouble pin-pointing other good parts of her. Well, her enthusiasm is definitely remarkable.
.
.
.
Anyway, better get to that poster.
I have less than 3 hours to get it done

Do You Want My Opinion or Not?!

2010-11-15T15:19:00.003+08:00

I found it particularly true when I watched an episode of Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei
(Trans: Goodbye, Despair teacher)
and it mentioned that,
certain people, when they ask for our opinion, are actually seeking for answers they've already found and then start bitching when we don't think the same thing.

Take recently,
A friend asked me
"How would you feel if a guy you like, who likes you back, is suffering through a disease that may cause him to lose his memories of you?"

I gave it a thought.

It wasn't hard coming up with an answer on my side.
The guy forgets? Then let him forget. Love at a level that does not have a clear result to marriage is useless to me.
What is important is my family.

But I already know this is not the answer she is looking for.
I ended up giving my answer
and, as expected, she was not satisfied by it.

This was because she was looking for consolation, reassurance and not an opinion.

Fffffffff-
What's the point of asking "How would you feel" questions if your own opinion isn't accepted?
Because she is a friend, I don't bother sugar-coating my words that much.
So I tell her, "My answer isn't what you are looking for."
Internally: "Go ask someone else who have more heart than me ~~and actually gives more shit~~."

Moral of the story: When you ask for opinions, be satisfied with other people's answers. You don't have to accept it but it's an F-ing OPINION. That you asked for. Duh.
Note: I'm trying to teach myself this too

Anyway,
I tried looking at her perspectives of things and told her a bit of what I thought could be a solution to her...uh...problem
Solution #1: Get close to the guy's family. Let them know you both are going out so that if that happens to him, you'll be the first to know and can amend it.
Solution #2: (related to above) Start keeping your messages and all those lovey-dovey ~~shit~~ stuff you guys do now. IOW: start creating physical memory so that it's easier to reconcile with him.
But of course, my words dripped with honey at this point

See, I'm not that heartless.
*bricked*

I'm really seeing things on many perspectives now. Is it what you call empathy? I don't know.
Whatever it is, I'm a person who goes by principals so it gets difficult when talking with someone who goes by their heart.
I do try to accomodate
I'm even training myself to be a Blue Hatter (Edward de Bono theory)

but...
just...
when you ask for opinions, don't expect me to sugar-coat my answers so much.
It gets tiring and I go through an internal WTF moment when you look so dissatisfied by my answer.
.
.
.
.
.
.
My own opinion.
So it doesn't matter if you think differently

Critique is Good but Praise is Satisfying

2010-11-10T21:03:00.002+08:00

I had CCT (Critical and Creative Thinking) class and
was quite reluctant to go seeing as the next day is midterms and my evening class got cancelled by majority vote.
When the lecturer entered, she began asking about those who had yet to submit their due assignment

Our assignment was we had to do a mood board based on
The 6 Thinking Hats

I had to relate one hat to myself and produce a kind of 'scrapbook' on an A3 sized board
As expected, I chose green (creativity)
but I'll take a moment of your time and reveal that I am more closely tied with black hat (cautious and careful) but I couldn't come up with a way to show that on my mood board

Anyway,
She begun telling everyone that a mood board isn't about us explaining what the hat means. We were supposed to relate it with our own personality.
She gave an example of a girl who claimed to be a Yellow Hat (optimist) when she was actually a Black Hat (pessimist) and the girl had the gall to argue about that with her. Her reactions were negative and all she did was deny, deny, deny when an actual Yellow Hat person would have re-done the mood board the moment the lecturer mentions something is amiss.
Offhandedly, my lecturer mentioned that a lot of people claimed to be Yello Hats and Green Hats.

My heart kind of sunk at that time because I did a Green Hat and I was hoping my work could be the red rose among the black/the pearl among the sand etc, etc.
My mind was already conjuring a new mood board (this time blue - Strict and order) to give her. That was when she mentioned something new

"But there was one person - I'm not sure which class - who did a green hat. It was very simple but showed a complete understanding of what it means to be a Green Hat. This person had utilized a few objects - if I can remember correctly, a lot of bottles, and boxes -"
around this time I thought "that might be me!" and was excitedly tugging on Aina-kun's sleeve
"- and two bunkbed ladders. I see someone smiling! Who did this assignment?"
and my hand was instantly up. I was excited but then got nervous when people turned to see who it was. My hand shot down nearly as fast
"Ah you! It's really good! Very simple and to the point. She had lots of bottles (I nod), empty boxes and two ladders, right? (I nod enthusiastically) And from all of this she built a shoerack. It's very creative and she didn't use many words."

I just went to imaginary cloud nine at this point

Here's what the mood board looks like:

Very, very simple. I was even scared to submit it at one point.
four of those item images are from google.com
I drew both illustrations (just for this assignment) and the last picture was from an existing item.

A bit after that,
after telling us of another good example done by a student, she said that the mood board is really easy to get full marks and immediately mentioned that my mood board definitely got 10/10.

THIS.

Alhamdulillah. No other words left. Seriously.

Anyway, I just remembered last monday, we got out Business Math quiz sheet back.

I was one of five people who got 40/40

._.

Whoa.

We have another quiz sheet that the lecturer hadn't returned yet. I really hope I did well in that also
TTvTT

Violence Isn't A Good Answer

2010-11-09T17:20:00.003+08:00

Okay,
I'll admit,
shoving my friend into the wall in front of a whole group of friends wasn't the nicest thing ever.
Not that I'm nice. I have just proven that to my friend.
However, trying to pin scandals into my sibling's book will never be taken lightly by me.
Friend or not.

If I had the choice, I'd like to apologize to her.
It wasn't nice of me and I'm sorry
but I really don't want to bring it up
and I don't want her to forget that I do NOT appreciate or will ever be able to tolerate that she had insinuated/slandered about my sister and a guy I don't even bloody know much about.

I can be nice and I will be nice if you give me reasons to be.

I do not ever want to make enemies with anyone especially my friends but a few things I cannot handle is anyone badmouthing/slandering/lying about my family
I don't even fucking care if it's a bloody joke
I don't take jokes about my bloodties well

EVER.

Period.

To dive deeper into WHY I couldn't tolerate what she had said
was that it could have caused rumours that I find even more unnecessary
and is a bitchslap to my family's dignity, pride and good name.

I can never allow that to happen. By a friend, no less.

If it affected me and only me, I wouldn't even really care
I'm a frickkin social brick
but I live in a community based on family reputation and good name. I will not allow anyone to tarnish my parent's hard-earned social respect with some childish slandering.
(I will call it slander because it is a downright lie and has possibilities of hurting the person to whom it relates.)
At least, not smack-dab in front of me.

If need be, I'll explain this to her.
but I have high hopes that she has learnt well and will always remember the feel of me pressing her into the wall and glaring atop my glasses while I tell her to stop telling people my sister has a scandal that she DOES NOT.

I solemnly pray as so.

I know and fully realize to an outsider that I'm being a total Bitch about this but this is a serious matter to me.
I also know I look like I have one heck of stick up my arse
but when have I not?

Yet, again I have to mention that I shouldn't have done that.
There were many ways to tell her off
and shoving her into the wall wasn't one of it.
but I had done what I did and I apologize

I'm sorry.

I lost control of my emotions and lashed out badly.
It was a mistake that I wish I could take back.
Alas, it has been done.
.
.
.
.
.
.
I'm sorry
but don't ever fucking do it again

I Hope I Can Still Finish My Studies

2010-10-27T17:39:00.003+08:00

There was a new demonstration at college today but it was because of yesterday as well. However, today everyone was even fueled with anger when the so-called 'meeting' did not quite happen. I'm not entirely sure about the details since I was in class for a good 8 hours and missed all the fun.

By the time I got out the police had arrived and I was informed that our Head (I dunno, CEO whatever but he owns the damn college) had been 'released' by the police (a.k.a he left from the QnA with the students) and they were trying to detain all the students responsible for starting the demonstration (90% being senior students).

I am not entirely sure about all this since I have been TOLD and did NOT witness it.

I boarded the bus quickly but from my seat, I saw that the number of students participating today was more than yesterday. Somehow it made me kind of happy and silly. We've all felt like we got swindled by the college, trust me, but I'm too much of a coward to face the higher-ups about it. I've still got 3 sems to go and I really don't want to give that up. Seeing so much of our students together fighting for OUR rights (theirs as well as mine) does leave me proud though. I hope their peaceful demonstration will bear fruitful results.

However,

I condemn those stupid bloody idiotic fuckers who resorted to vandalism even after the admin at facebook had told us against doing so.

We are trying our best to do a PEACEFUL (though it gets noisy at times) demonstration. They are not helping it.

I think by tonight, videos and pictures of today's demonstration will be all over facebook. Hope you enjoy them.

Again,

I did not, at ANY instance or in ANY case, participate in the demonstration. I am a bystander in this case.

It's a bit shameful, I know but I still have 3 sems to go and I really, really love studying in KLMU despite the entirely lacking and unprofessional management.

I wish the best of luck
to those who are really fighting for your rights.

Really Proud Somehow

"Don't worry, miss. I'll catch you."

~*~*~*~

So proud of managing to draw it as so >w<
It was originally in a day setting but somehow I tweaked and tweaked with the background, it became night and looked better that way.
Taiwan's hair was a bitch to do because it was flowing against her body due to the wind coming from behind her. I've always wanted to draw a pose like that. Seriously.
It was my new passion for thin linearts that troubled me a lot but I went through it anyway.
Took 3 days on and off but I'm happy with how it turned out.

Hey, it has a decent background at least. I always fail at those.

Shimeji Wiz Available for download

2010-10-07T13:22:00.003+08:00

Wiz is a half-OC character from my TegakiE fancomic: Un Vecchio Ricordo

Shimeji is: "Shimeji is a kind of desktop mascot!XD
This is completely useless, but a cute program.
We can play with this by dragging the characters!" - *haagen-dazs

What Wiz Shimeji does:
-sits around
-walks around your desktop
-climbs your desktop
-play with his magic
-falls/trips randomly
-changes into his wizard costume for a second
-hides your web browser (that you can retrieve with the 4th option)
-pulls another clone out of himself or a portal

You have the option of tossing him around. He likes it rough. Don't worry

To use: make sure you have JAVA, which you can download here: [link]

How to use/install
Download the RAR from here: [link]
Unzip it and double click "Shimeji.exe"
No ZIP sorry!

Program Menu
Right-click on the flag icon to get this
1. add more
2. Come here!
3. leave just one
4. get back the IE
5. Bye Bye!

Right-clicking on an individual shimeji will also produce a 'byebye' option

's England was used for reference (the old one - so Wiz has a walking image missing *shot*) NOTE: Also, I've made a few alterations with what they're doing so it's best to avoid using this shimeji as a reference. i.e: Shimeji!Wiz does not eat, Shimeji Wiz does not come out of a box.

Original creator of Shimeji: group-finity

TegakiE Contest Entry Walkthrough

2010-09-24T11:06:00.006+08:00

Katsuhiro-Miamura is holding a contest over at TegakiE. It's to promote better quality and detail in Tegaki art,
and the ultimate destination is getting our art to the main page (usually through many nominations) but getting there doesn't mean you win.
It helps boost your self-esteem though.

Everyone is encouraged to join. I believe it can help improve our talent and the art we can offer to our community. So to those who have Tegaki, you should join~ It's open for OCs and fanarts and the theme is 'bond'. I know I have very little chance in winning but I still hope to join and just have fun and improve on my art.

So far I've submitted two entries and singled out one to show you a walkthrough of how I did it.
First of all, to those who don't know how TegakiE looks like.
It's this:

Everything is done on a single layer. You can zoom by right-clicking and zoom in and ctrl+z allows you to undo.
Do you get the basic gist of it?
It used to be really troublesome for me but now I'm smitten over them.
I'm there near 24/7! (exaggeration much)

I always have trouble colouring in TegakiE due to the absence of multiple layers so I gave it a few thoughts and finally decided to give it a full outline look.
Thus why I started with the outlines.
First was using a low opacity on gray colours to sketch then I used the darkest gray and thinnest point to lineart. I erased the sketches with the help of zoom and WALA!
I think I should mention at this time that I used littleMinna's TegakiE for this - thus the credit ^^;

Next, I linearted the background with colours. It's optional to do this.
OTL My background is so friggid simple -_-;;
Who knew drawing scribbles and calling it Wisteria could work so well?!
*brick'd*

Next I coloured in the background. I used very simple techniques for this seeing as I wanted to emphasize more on the lineart. Most of the colouring contained a main colour and shade colour and mixed together using the lowest opacity

HRE's (the kid) cloak was hell to do since I had to be careful about the amount of strokes. His cloak used four colours - three shades and 1 to darken it.

Colouring in Italy completes it~ His was pretty simple.
It kind of looks like water painting now
...
orz orz orz

I'm not giving up! I want to do better and improve!

Sorry, littleMinna
I can't use my TegakiE yet atm ^^;

"...and that was when I clearly saw it.

'It' was a small boy with hair the colour of wheat, eyes the colour of emerald and the ~~bushiest~~ thickest eyebrows I had ever seen. When he noticed I was looking at him, he scowled."

Yeah, Hetalia invaded my English final paper's vital regions. The striked word really was in the exam.

Other than that, I'm finally home in Kedah. Everyone is so busy and I'm so lazy to venture out of the house

Catch that Kiriban!

2010-09-05T17:50:00.004+08:00

A kiriban is an interesting number displayed on a web counter, such as 10000, 22222, etc.; particularly, one selected by the website owner for the purpose of giving a prize to whoever reaches it.

Yup!

My kiriban over at DA is 6,969.
Don't ask about the number - it just felt pretty
As you can see from the screenshot, my pageviews are nearing it.
The person who catches my kiriban will have to post the screenshot in their gallery and in return, I give them a free commision.
It's not much but it's fun~!

If no one catches it however...too bad. Maybe the next kiriban.

Oh, and tonight I'll be boarding the bus back to Kedah. Pray for my safety and Happy Early Eid Mubarak everyone~!

Of course, blogs can have kiribans too.
If you want.

...I was the only Feshnie around ;A;

B-but...it's not identity theft thankfully.
I have to admit I got the name "Feshnie" from a spam but that was like, 8-9 years ago
;A;
I don't get it
Ah but I still retain the name 'Feshnie Fox'
That is my full internet name. Any other place using that name is definitely trying to impersonate me.
Ah...maybe I have finally found the real Feshnie?
I don't know. I'm pretty sad right now.

Yes, I google-d my own name

Avatar: The Last Airbender Movie

2010-08-11T07:31:00.007+08:00

I forgot.
I never actually got around to showing the result of the vid of
Night Wondering.
So here it is:

One of my lineless art. It was a remake from a TegakiE drawing.

Okay, let's focus people!
Last Saturday, Mai-hime and I went on an outing together at TS.
We had decided to watch a movie, eat and do some shopping.
I had been a little nervous because we hadn't talked in a while but it was really pleasant to see her again and I don't think I've ever laughed so freely in a long time as I did that day.
Thanks May~!

So, anyway,
there were two movies we were inclined to see:
The Sorcerer's Apprentice
and
Avatar: the Last Airbender
in the end, we chose the latter.

Prior to the outing, I had read some reviews from fans saying that they were sorely disappointed by the movie. What they highlighted as their major disappointment was the casting of Prince Zuko.
As a fan of Zuko - the innocent, fourth book Zuko - I felt a bit apprehensive about this since I have heard and feared Hollywood's live-action.
Additionally, the same fan had commented on the lack of humour that had been one of Nickelodeon's Avatar's selling points.

With these troubling information in mind, we took our seat in the cinema and waited.
Luck was not on my side with the seating - as it always has been when it comes to me and the cinema - an obnoxious couple filled the seats to my right. The guy didn't watch the series so the girl had to comment every now and then - succeeding in distracting me from the movie
Grr....curses you bloody oafs
I also loathed how shallow her thoughts were about the art of bending - which I must say was one of the reasons Avatar was a hit!

Back to the movie,
As in the cartoon, the movie startsoff with the introduction of the types of bending. Along with it was a remarkable immitation of said cartoon introduction.
I'm not going to spill the beans on the storyline but a few changes were made here and there to accomodate the entire season 1 into a 2(?) hour movie
I actually felt quite impressed by the arrangement - considering circumstances.
I didn't get to see some parts of the series that I like but you know how it is - you win some, you lose some.

Noah Ringer stars as Aang - the last airbender
fffffff--- His CHEEKS!!
I wanna pinch it~~ *dreamy eyes* Okay - enough of my stupid fangirling.
I just went to wikipedia and read through the casting a bit.
Apparently, Noah Ringer has never acted before but he is apt in Taekwondo to the point where he is a Texas State Champion. First movie and he's already the main character! Wow~! I'm looking forward to the Book 2 movie now!

Noah Ringer aside,
My thoughts on the Aang in the movie is that he's not as child-like as the animated Aang but this is totally okay with me to some point. The fast-paced storyline does not permit him a lot of the characteristics I had grown to love of Aang. Like I said, you win some, you lose some.
I do, however, felt a bit of disappointment at certain parts but - I mean, who's not, right?
What I did like was the angst they had somehow squeezed inside that story at the end. How he had to let his emotions flow and all that shiz. You gotta watch it to know it.

The casting of the movie.
Aang - Noah Ringer
Zuko - Dev Patel
Katara - Nicola Peltz
Sokka - Jackson Rathbone

Here's a trivia - originally, M.Night Shyamalan wanted Jesse McCartney as Zuko
fffffff---I wanna see that!!
But due to the boot camp to train for the movie clashed dates with his tour, he couldn't take on the role.
Lol - Seriously, I wanna see that. Colour your hair black and spit fire from your armpits, McCartney!....But alas....tour dates.... huh.

It's not that Dev Patel didn't make a good Zuko.
Though I wished they shaved off his hair
It was just...unexpected.

Due to the ethnicity of the name and skin colour in the cartoon, most had expected Prince Zuko - and everyone from the fire kingdom - as Asian.
I mean, if I were to ask you the race of someone named, Zuko, Zhao and maybe Ozai - wouldn't your first thought have been Chinese?
My thoughts exactly.
However, in the movie, this subject is all over the place. Katara and Sokka, who should have been dark-skinned, were fair and the firelord family, who should have been pale-skinned, were a bit on the dark side.
Tan? Was it?
In my opinion, realistically, it should stick the M.Night Shyamalan way.
But I don't mean the cartoon should change. It's already perfect the way it is.
I mean, logically thinking, the nature of fire itself is heat-producing and this will cause...?
Right, darker skin to the user due to always being exposed to it.
And water-tribes, or water nomads, take up living space in the south and north pole. The low temperature there doesn't allow for enjoyable sun-bathing. Plus, pigments in the skin aren't too toughened by the nature of their location.
What I'm saying here is, Sokka and Katara are just fine being fair-skinned people.

Think of it this way,
if you wanted the whole movie to follow the book down to the casting, there ain't gonna be a single american in it. Hell, the movie should just be made by Asian countries.

So stop yapping at the casting! They did their best, just enjoy the goddamn movie.

*huff puff*

Another one of the things I love about the movie was the special effects. It's more than I expected and kudos to the team behind it.

Remember what I said about the bitch girl who sat next to me?
She was guffawing at the bending motions in the movie. I really wish I could slap her silly.
The four-bending in the movie are based off of real martial art moves

Airbending - Ba Gua
Waterbending - Tai Chi
Earthbending - Hung Gar
Firebending - Northern Shaolin

A lot of people probably like the animated series for its jokes, characters, plotline or the bending.
I love them all - no doubt!
But the science-fiction behind this fantasy world is what I like the most about Avatar - be it the animation or the movie. It is what differentiates Avatar from other animations - other sci-fi fantasy world.

Resuming back to the movie,
Props weren't 100% the same but I can't help but love it. There were noticeable differences in the costume designs but it works the same anyway. I really respect all their hardwork to make the movie as it is.

Given the oppurtunity, I wouldn't mind watching the movie again.

And below is one of the reasons I don't do Avatar fanarts

I suck at drawing bald people
T^T
I faaaaaaaaaiil

After the movie, Mai-hime and I went shopping. It was late evening by the time we decided to part ways with the promise of watching "Vampires Suck" - a parody of Twilight with cameos from other recent movies and subjects - when it premiers.

That night was hell for me. I had to wait for 2 and a half hours for my bus. I cursed so much, even on my FB. Worse yet, I cried a little out of sheer frustration when the bus I waited for passed me without stopping.
.

I actually don't mind the pronounciation of the names in the movie
I think it's quite appropriate

Change of Plans!

2010-08-10T09:05:00.002+08:00

Due to certain unexpected financial help,
Nee-san and I will be returning to our hometown
in time to celebrate the first day of Ramadhan while amongst our loved and cherished family~

...well we might.
I hope there are still empty seats on the bus.

I had planned to tell the adventure I had with Mai-hime on our outing last Saturday to watch
Avatar: the Last Airbender
but I've just went through a few too many emotional roller coaster to be able to sit down and write a decent report.
So maybe next time.
I do wish to tell you my views on that movie

Current Life: Hey, Another Movie

2010-08-02T17:26:00.004+08:00

My current desktop:

Fesh n me
I gave the piece a lot of thought during the making but in the end, I couldn't convey it in my artist comment at DA
The lyrics on the left is 'Mein Gott'

So this sem, Nad-san asked for Aina-kun and my help with her scriptwriting movie.
Apparently, we're their cameraman....woman...whatever.
I'm also in charge of editing the whole thing once we finish the shooting.
ah...I've been getting a lot of praises for my editing on our last movie:

"Tan Sri Nak Kahwin Lagi"

which was screened during this sem's scriptwriting class - according to Nad
Oh! and following the line of thoughts as our roles, Aina-kun is director and I'm co-director again.
So...nostalgic
-_-;;

I'm really happy to be able to get into shooting and editing again.
But the problem now is, I want name for my hardwork.
I'm selfish like that - stop poking me

For our previous movie, Aina-kun had labelled us as Cicak Goreng Production
A stupid name but we're specializing in gag stories so it fits
So I want that label on this movie I'm helping them edit so that when our lecturer sees it, she'll recognize it as our work.
No matter how you look at it, it is the work of the Cicak Goreng Production
The production that consists of me, Aina-kun and Rieya-chan.
Rieya-chan isn't so involved in it this time but still...

I'm wondering how I can convey this to Nad-san.
This is her assignment after all
I won't get anything out of it other than probably more road trips and a free lunch or something so at the very least...

Sawa Rakan from Silver Diamond.

I just recently gotten hold of the fifth volume
Haha...so happy
The vines, I did it in Adobe Illustrator~ It's fun to be able to use it again!
This time around, all the colouring, drawing, textures and shapes are all my own!
It was hard work obtaining the textures but I'm quite proud that I no longer have to use others works to enhance my own

Mein Gott Flash

2010-07-31T10:55:00.007+08:00

Last Tuesday, in my Multimedia Authoring class, Aina-kun tinkered with my laptop and came upon my unfinished Mein Gott karaoke.
She was impressed, I must say and asked me a few things like:
How'd I make Prussia move, how did I insert the song, how did I time the words to fit the song.
I tried answering as best as I could and even offered to show how to her.

The unexpected came though when she suddenly stood up and loudly called for Ms. Xuan to see it.
I was very flustered!
The animations weren't right, the timing wasn't quite well and it wasn't even halfway done!
I tried in vain to stop her but she blocked me from reaching my laptop
The pains of being short!
and so, she showed it to Ms. Xuan
It's a bit like this:

It first started with a title flash "Mein Gott / Band version"
Before ^happens
With the same pictures, the words "It's fun to play alone" is revealed
"..." appears big and clear one by one

Then comes this

Ha. Ha!. The. Great. Me. Doesn't Care.
It appears one by one as well

One by one HAHA! comes to screen until a very big one covers the middle of the screen

"Let's Begin" appears
Himaruya originally drew a chibi!america but I retraced it to be chibi!Prussia

This is the first animation to appear.
Chibi Prussia appears from under below left screen, walks a bit forward and writes his name
Then he goes back.
I drew the animation myself, using lots of keyframes

Let the karaoke-ing begin!

This was from the third volume~!

Same here...most pictures are from Himaruya's own works.

Original picture by Himaruya was of Iggy
retraced to fit Prussia

Okay...I'm tired of screencaping. This was the other animation I did. It was of Prussia running from the left screen and dissappearing to the right.
There's more afterwards but...nah...
I'm too lazy.

So anyway, Ms. Xuan watched what I had done so far and she turned to me, asking, "Did you take Animation Technique?"
And I answered, "No."
and she told me she also taught Animation Technique and I should take it next sem.
W00t! Another semester with Ms. Xuan~! I can't wait!
I seriously like her class. I just do.
A few seconds later when I was just beginning to settle down and berate Aina-kun for getting me so flustered and anxious, Ms. Xuan came to me and held out her pendrive while she said, "Can you give me that vid? I like it. I might show it in (animation technique) class."
Can you imagine how I felt at that time?
I was speechless, happy, flustered, nervous, excited and pretty much just <333

On hindsight, it was all thanks to Aina-kun. She was rubbing it in my face BTW.
Haha...yes, thank you, Aina.

Real Face done.
And I found out I got Spain and China switched. Hyuhyu~
Ah well. Spain looks more in character with that pose...
.
.
.

I should finish that karaoke and never post it.

Bases and Musicals

2010-07-29T08:58:00.005+08:00

The Japanese boyband KAT-TUN:

The Hetalia boyband remake:

...still in their base version.
SuFin are so badass >.>
It was a request by HikariKame on DA
It went something like this:

Song: REAL FACE by KAT-TUN

Italy: Taguchi Junnosuke [adorable and silly]
Sweden: Akanishi Jin [just odd]
China: Nakamaru Yuichi [normal, the oldest/mature]
Finland: Kamenashi Kazuya [sweet guy]
Spain: Ueda Tatsuya [easy going and adorable-romantic streak]
America: Tanaka Koki [they both rap and are funny]

I hope I got them all right.
I don't really know KAT-TUN so I was really nervous about doing this.
The vid I downloaded was also corrupted near the end so it gave me a lot of trouble when I wanted to take reference for their clothes...
*sigh*
Surprisingly, it took me around 4-5 hours to do that but I haven't added complete base colouring, shading, details and I think I'm gonna use a bit of texture this time around...

...

Enough about my crappy drawings!
Recently(not so very recent)
Shiro-kun posted something about Monoshitsuji at FB
it was on Senpai's wall but...yeah
So, I was like, "Ok, fine, maybe I should try watching it."
I did. On one episode and a half.
Curse you, internet.
Since megaupload video was being a sweet bitch, I decided to direct my Kuroshitsuji obsessions to Youtube.
Guess what I found there?

Kuroshitsuji Musical~~
:la: if there wera la icons here, I'd put a long line of it:la:

Now I'm a fan of Matsushita Yuya, who plays as Sebastian Michaelis.
He's on the short side but definitely bishie-material
*headwall*
His voice isn't like Ono Daisuke, it's quite high but I really love it!
I love every single songs he sang in the Musical, which wasn't much sadly.
My favourite would be 'Yes, My Lord.'
If I had an mp3 of it, I'd be listening to that song everywhere.

So, last night, while procrastinating on the above request,
I wiki'd him
asdlaksjdlasjdas!!
Kuroshitsuji Musical was his first stage debut when he was 19~
He did such a fine job of it!
Well, okay...he still does mistakes on stage but he's only human after all
My favourite mistake was the tablecloth trick!

Must...stop...fangirling...AAAAGGH!!

This was posted on my FB hours before the Deutschland vs Uruguay game in which the Fatherland won 3 - 2 against the South Americans.

I was a bit dissappointed to have not been able to see Neuer or Klose playing but at least I got to see Muller in action again.
I got a bit sad that he couldn't join in the Deutschland vs España game but the result might've still been the same. Who knows.

Oh, and well...this isn't the 'proper' fanart that I mentioned I wanted Italy to wear Germany's scarf but it'll do for now. I'm too lazy for any real drawing at the moment. Haha~
