Getting to it...

Because of my finals, I had to drop a lot of things.

So, here's about half of my collection of WIP that I'll hopefully have time to get around to doing.

I think this one takes priority above the others considering it's a gift art that was a prize.
However, this gift art took me by surprise as you see:
I am, by far, NOT a graphic design student.
I do NOT do portraits
I do NOT study about drawing or colouring in college.
Portraits are NOT, and probably never will be, my best skills
I am also in the process of grasping new colouring techniques By Myself.
This, however saddening, is half of the reason why I can't quite get it done yet.
I'm still trying to grasp the idea of a lineless artwork so this can be taxing.

Anis-chan's overdue request. This was from ages ago and I still can't seem to get it done.
My main problem is that the Don't Don music video is too dark and the quiality of the screencape is not really good. I DO want to complete this but it's going to take some time.

A request from a fellow dev to do Iggy's version of clothing meme.
As you can see, I also adapted the lineless style for this as I did with the Italy version
It's more time consuming as I saw it as an oppurtunity to do, at the very least, three characters in some slot.

This is supposed to ba giftart that I was going to add in the CD we were to hand in to our lecturer.
but I never could find time and energy to complete all the frills.
If you have noticed, this is also lineless.
It makes frills much harder, trust me.
This is not what I consider as portrait as I put more priority in the attire than the actual similarity between Rieya-chan and the girl above.

The reason I chose to do a lot of lineless arts nowadays is probably because it doesn't burden me with the task of lining. I don't fancy doing lining because I can barely draw a straight line using my tablet. Colouring it takes more time than usual and that's why in one day, sometimes I can come up with only two of these kinds of work.
Still, it's something new to me and I want to experiment with it more.
I'm still in the stage where I can't mix colour well.

Again, I am not a Graphic Design student.
I feel that I should focus on this point
I don't learn how to draw and colour in my classes and I probably will never get to. That equals to the fact that I learned how to colour - and probably draw better - outside of a condusive learning setting. In other words, I'm learning all this shit by myself.
So, I'm torn between two academically challenging lives
One side - the Multimedia side that is properly taught in class - and the other side - the Graphic Design side that is learnt out of observation.
I love both sides though and my Multimedia side always takes precedence because it costs the most.
Okay, done ranting about my life now.

THIS WAS WHAT HAS BEEN TAKING ME FOREVER TO DO
Curses.
It's for my MDP storyboard assignment.
It's done already though so it's not considered WIP
I'm not gonna tell you what it's about but the girl is my new OC
Her name is - for lack of better naming skills - Avia.

I'm going home
and continuing all of these there

Contest aru ka?

A Sister Blog – with literal meaning, mind you – is hosting a contest with a grand prize of a Nokia E72 voucher worth RM100. For more information regarding that, you can read it in her blog: [My Great Life]

Of course I’d have a picture with her. She’s my sister
So, about her blog [My Great Life] which, in its earlier days sported a fangirl banner that looked like this:

I so totally know this – because I’m the one who did that banner for her

Has now developed a more confident and self-indulgent air. Self-obsessed, meh. Same thing. The one thing I have recently liked about it is her quirky senses and funny lines.

The time I don’t like it is when she’s having problems with some bloody idiot and posting emo somethings that probably ruined some kind-hearted follower’s day. It hasn’t been happening recently and lets hope the fun entries continue for a while.

An irking quality that is both humorous and bothersome to me is her entry naming ability. She says it’s a trend to attract readers; I call it down right deceiving people. Thus far, it seems, I’m the only one troubled by this so it’s probably a lost cause right from the beginning.
But of course. To rub salt on my scarred skin


The good qualities of the blog – as I’ve felt that I’ve badmouthed it enough – is that she sometimes writes stirring and motivational entries. She also recounts the wonderful experiences she has been able to go through. She has met people whose names you’ve read off of newspaper and did things that are not only beneficial to her. To have her share those experiences with us – people who probably would never be able to get that chance – is a blessing in a written disguise.

The good things don’t only stop there. My Great Life is a really good and lovable place to stop by and be inspired by. Thankfully, she does not really rely on bad sarcasm to make her posts interesting – something that I’ve sadly noted to be a trend among other bloggers. You can be funny, just don’t be mean about it.

About the owner of the blog: Najmie – often I respectfully call Kak kerun or mention on my blog as nee-chan – is a very outgoing and interesting person. She’s probably like a vibrant piece of cloth that even if you want to ignore, will always call for your attention. In person, she has an aura that never cease to make me obey her, albeit grudgingly. She’s strong – both physically and mentally. As for emotionally; well, she’s still a woman no matter how you look at it.

She has a lot of influence on me and perhaps ever since I was a child, still crawling to remember the multiplication table, I have looked up at her as a role-model. Maybe it was the way she seemed to demand respect and her confidence was so overwhelming that I was swept away.

So far, I think I have given a biased opinion. She’s my sister sharing the same blood. I both love and hate her. Like every one of my siblings, she is special and I want everyone to love and recognize that.
