>_>
-Blogging morale went down -1000 points-
In anycase,i managed to draw out Ciel ^^.Pretty good,well to me anyways.If you wanna see it,well its too large to be uploaded to photobucket so you got to catch me on MSN.I drew her in a well....what do you say semi-ballroom-ish kind of outfit.Thought i deviat from the weapons and uniform drawings for a while.Oh and at class i drew this Professional grim reaper.Pretty niffy too ^^,he comes complete with name card too lol.
Now my problem is that how to look a drawing "human" and more natural looking....and not awkward or automatas...
In order to learn how to draw the standard average girl,I had to look at more questionable sources ^^;;...cause well most decent pictures comes with the girls fully clothed and well its hard to draw a body without knowing whats underneath it^^;;...get my drift?And yeah Loki is a guy so he doesnt entirely mind this form of research XD.I shall repent from my ecchi-ness once i hav made my mark^^;;*twists his fingers behind his back*
Funny thing was that after my usual "research" this morning,during Customer service lesson i kept thinking of maids in very short skirts in very innocent yet seductive poses..XD...okay Loki stop now XP...
But yeah my drawing is still very amatuerish and lack soul which i constantly look for in my renders....will take 10000000000000000000000 years before Loki masters this...- -;;
I hav about 5 years to convince myself and my parents that i can do this and i can still somehow support the family with it too....My father is getting old and seems like he has only 5 years of work left in him until he can no longer work.My elder sister...is unreliable as she is as stable as water boiling.Her nightlife apparent shorted out her logic circuit or something..>_>.And i still hav a younger primary 5 sister.......
*Scratch head*
See my unforeseen problems.....
Starcraft 2?Well if it was 2 years ago i would be stoked but....I hav seen the new light which is Dawn of war.As it turns out Relic and blizzard in the past worked together on the Starcraft game...but they fell out and Blizzard took the already 50% finished game and vaguely changed certain things.I seen the Starcraft II trailer and is really unimpressed.A Space marine from DoW is way more cooler,disciplined,deadlier and proficient than the Terran space marine.....- -;;
Dow 2...just wait...it will be the best there is...
Times hav changed.And was pretty surprised that Hermi smoke and Syam probably went back to it too.Apparently if you are surrounded by people who smoke,chances are you would too.
Hahaha i think i am allergic to certain people.My stomach gets real uneasy when ever she is around....i already gotten over her believe me.Is is possible to develop people allergy?hahaha
Another thing is that i hav a pretty good sense of smell...so much so that people smoking or the smell of people who are stinky can send me coughing like a TB patient.
Well thats it for today....<_<...where is my loyal surbodinates for me to rant on....sigh

tired
Caught a cold and an acheing headache...- -;;...and is too tired to trial draw an exam piece....Despite school being ITE and all,second year is not really slack like last year.This year its pretty heavy stuff that i am learning.Recently re-learned logic circuit....its really irritating.There is only two numbers in a binary ciruit...1 and 0....and just those two numbers can give you one hell of a headache......
Damm..........the wireless keyboard just died on me - -;;........so much for comfort.....now typing using the mouse and on screen keyboard...which is real awkward.
To say the least,i am not really a GFX as i dont follow rule number 1 which is to accept request from people.I create in accordance to what i see in the render and base on feel.Thats why i cant make them on whim....sure i can make on but to me,it will be just another empty GFX.
I hav to pratice somehow......in all i got only 5 years to get good.......cause thts when my fatherwould be too old to be working and i hav to work for income.Chances are that i may hav to give manga up......but i dont know......i dont want to as it i my dream after all.......in a dilema...sigh......i really hope that faithy get good and get her work published someday.Atleast in the end i am happy to know one of us made it^ ^.......
As it stands i have 4 and 1/2 stories and all original stories.Just havnt typed them all out yet.Another problem i that when i draw them out,i see them in anime form not in manga form..(yes loki's head is like nan animaion machine......
LEgaCY
Aerith
Fate E
Got Game
Retribution
would be pretty sad if my stories never to be read.........exceptionally proud of LEgaCY and Aerith as to me it destroy typical anime stereotypes and storylines.....and there is a hidden twist in all my stories......a small hint is that they are all connected...hehehe....in what way?that up to you to figure out my matanteis out there^ ^.
Typing using the on screen keyboard is a bitch........

dip dap dip dap

Yeah Loki has still the touch^^.Made this PSP wall for a friend.Otherwise wouldnt hav used the render....
Had a weird dream...someone kept shouting"SEPIA"........
Next two weeks from now would be my Manga Exam.....
^^;; stressing already...despite this being a beginner course and that whether its perfected or not is not important,but yet Loki wants it to be great.
Surprisingly today i had very little trouble drawing hand and feet which i normally thought it was hard.The only thing that bothers me is that fingers arent normally straight and they are sort of hav little curves here and there.....
Inking is still irritating for me as despite transfering an already drawn image....it still looks different....haha i cant transfer an image right...- -;;.....although the end product does look okay though.
Now somehow i can feel alittle confidence in me to go through it all.Last night,i kept questioning myself is this really what i want....and the voice in me kept saying its too hard,give up.....Ah well i see how it goes ^^.I really want this.I want my story to be read.I want to be the first singaporean successful manga artist and all shall bow before my might!!!!!!! MUHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Finally the stupid project is done.My prediction was correct,we didnt get selected.That means less work for me in Hong Kong ^^.I decided to give up presenting forever cause,well its just not my thing.I dont exude confidence and charisma like most people though and my voice is monotonous and uninteresting.So that was my swan song so to speak.
Seems that my rewrite wasnt that well accepted.Okay for the last time.I made major changes so much so that if i continued from where i left off,there would be alot of incosistences and paradoxes....>_> like the whole deal about magic,i removed it so much so only Astrales,Deimos and demons can use them.>_>....Tsk no "good job" or "keep it up" fot typing this up at 2am and being tired from all that crap...>_>....
and for that
NO STORY FOR ANYONE TILL LOKI FEELS LIKE IT >_>
Finally finished Onimusha 3.It was hard,but Nobunaga fell and i was victorious.It was nice although the cinematics was cheesy and irritating to me....made me kept pressing the space bar to skip the movie.Maybe gonna try psychonauts next.Wait...maybe the PSP game Gurumin....hmmm.The PSP doesnt hav in my opinion a decent RPG.I wish creators of Grandia 2 would make one for the PSP.Seriously,the battle engine is off the hook.
Seto Hanayome 4.Made me wonder....japanese people either dont hav locks on bathroom doors or they are that dense to not lock the bathroom doors.Still funny however and the spiral shell maki is really irritating...Made me wonder,if i suddenly had a wife...what would i do...First thing i thing i would faint for 7 days and 7 nights.Next once I met my father-in-law,i would faint for another 7 days and 7 nights XD...hahahaha.Seriously i wouldnt know what to do.
Bought a Tifa advent children chibi keychain.Its so cute XD.I am like addicted to keychains now ever since buying the Yuki one from Vivo City.Its now part of my PSP along with the straps.I think i hav the most pimped out PSP among everyone in my school XD and Jufree said"dude you like lost your macho-ness by putting on a cute keychain like that.Hahaha i dont really care really.I even hav a pink pencilbox XD,cause well it looked cute.Next maybe buy a cloud one....hmmmmm.
Cant wait for Ocean's 13..........june 8................................Its better than the heresy of spiderman 3......- -;;Wednesday, May 9, 2007
Fire in your eyes,burn in your heart
Honestly,I do not like the presentation as..well it doesnt feel right or natural.We all hav to follow the music...which i found irritating as the music isnt that important and the people who are watching the presentation will not notice it as its not that distinguishable....mataku(geez...)..><...
I nonetheless must dance to this tune atleast until tomorrow..if we are selected more of this crap...Another thing is that no one seems to notice that the music doesnt feel right with the script.I didnt hav mission impossible and oh fortuna in mind as i wrote the script...- -;;....ah well atleast if we arent selected,that proves my theory that it is just like Rin's GFX....flashy and overated,lack substance and feel.
Everything i do i base it on feel especially on GFX or when making something.It can look flashy or hav a dozen gimmicks....i rather a more natural look.
The egg project was disapproved.So we sent a paper shedder compactor as a second project...which is alot easier to do.As a backup plan,we plan to make a sumo robot for competition purposes....
Found out that i be going to Malaysia as part of ME club activity.It will be 5 days before i go to Hong Kong if i am selected.After the Hong Kong trip,i think i be having the manga exam....dun dun dun...................doesnt seem well for loki....
I named my story instead of chapters,into tracks and the title sound more like song titles...neat isnt it ^^..another thing is that...since i am telling the story...should it be in past tense or present tense?i havnt had english lessons for like 3 years...haha so not very sure so decided to mix it up jsut cause some sound nicer than the present tense counterpart.
First track:The symphony of gunpowder and blood
____________________________________________________________________
~Play some creepy ominous music,preferbly kuroki neko from black cat~
Lightning streaked across the dark purplish sky,making shatter patterns across the motionless sky.Rain poured heavily and unrelentingly.The winds were roaring fiercely like jet engines.Yes ,it a symphony of an ominous storm which bode and exudes a sense of impending doom.
A hysterical laughter filled the the canyon in which this dark symphony was held.A figure was standing,steadfastly near the end of one of the ridges,which bottom seems to lead to a bottomless abyss.Her blond hair flowing in wind provided contrast to the dark setting.Her sword illuminated with every lighting that struck the area.Rain soaked her face,almost seems like she was shedding tears,but her eerie eyes showed murderous,malice intent.Her clothes was drenched,but she wasnt even shivering in the roaring winds.Her shoulder plate was shimmering.Her gaunlet on her left arm had an evil glow.She threw a smile...Her smile was sadistic.It was like staring at a beautiful devil.
"Dont stop weakling........,continue,SHED MORE BLOOD FOR ME!"She cried as swung her sword.Arcane energy crackled through the ground,seeking the enemy of her summoner.It found her enemy and exploded into a sphere of arcane electricity.A brief scream of pain disturbed the symphony.
A man was on his knees,and was being supported upright by his sword.His body was filled with slash wounds and blood stained his tattered clothes.He was breathing heavily and was bearly even concious.Dead bodies surrounded him like weed around a flower.....but they were all dried up to the bone.Their blood and souls hav been completely drained.The man stood up and charged towards the apparent murdress.His eyes was filled with anger.He positioned his sword for a sword thrust.The sword penetrated the lady.More than half went in....but no blood was pouring out.Instead there were fine crystals disintergrating from the wound into the air.She returned the favour with an upward slash of her own.The man fell like a sack of potatoes.She glanced at her tool of murder and licked the blood of it.Her eyes instantly was filled with lust,lust for blood.
"BLEED MORE FOR ME DARLING,MORE!!!!!!!"
The man got up to his feet again.The slash that was given to him wasnt deep...and it wasnt by accident either.She wanted to torture him more.
"Please...stop this.."
His faint voice didnt reach her.The girl he knew was gone.In her place was the very same monster he killed.
"MORE!!!!!!!!"
She charged towards him.He closed his eyes as he twisted a key on the hilt of his sword like the ignition switch of a car.His sword burst into pure energy and was vibrating strongly in his right arm.
"DIE FOR ME!!!!!!"She yelled out as she leapt towards him hungerily,like a lion after a gazelle.Steel met flesh and blood.Blood spurted out like a fountain out of the man's left shoulder.
"BLOOD!!!!!!!!!BLOOD!!!!!!!!!BLOOD!!!!!!!!"
The man's face was twisted in pain.He slowly,shakyily raised his sword,to the point of where her heart should be.He opened his eyes...finally coming to a conclusion that...she cannot be saved.
"Sorry...."
He looked away as he twisted the sword handle.
*BOOOOOOOOOOM*
The bottom hilt of the sword shot out flames like a rocket taking off.
*Sound of 500 degree flames burning intensely*
The sword,flew out of his hand,instantenously pierced her heart and sent her flying into the dark skies.Something shone.Was that stars peeking out of the dark sky,No....They were tears was streaming out of her eyes...a small final sign of humanity.
*3,2,1 some funky techno music plays*
~the whole screen shatters~
The same man awakes,in the sancitity of his own room.It was a nightmare,or more appropriately,a recollection fo his hated memory.His phone was ringing.He searched his bed for his phone with his half opened eyes.He grab hold of the phone under his pillow and flipped it open.A blurry face appeared on the phone screen.A 3G call.
"Wake up already,thats the 5th time i am calling you....you could hav more manners and answer it the first time"The face resolution becomes more clearer.It was a girl but she has a white blindfold on and a headset.Her blue hair was neatly center parted.Her faced turned into a more annoyed version when the man didnt answer her.
"LOKI!!!!!!!!"her irritated voice became an alarm clock to Loki.
"Yes i am here...wide awake...see....- -;;.Its only 7am and you are already nagging J.C."
J.C never changes..always had to be so right about things and never seems to realise that she is nagging and never realise that she is nagging.
"Well,you are already late for school Loki,and Lanna wont like it if you are late....."her gleefully grin grew wider.
"PAYCUT....!Muhahahahahaha"J.C let out an evil laugh.
"Okay,okay J.C get off my line so that i can go already shessh"
"Oh and investigate the park near your school after school...there was a sudden spark in arcane energy thi......."
"Hai hai,bwye"Loki flipped his phone down before J.C could finish.He got up and grabbed his towel and went into the bathroom.
*light switches on,but the bathroom was pink in colour*
The tapwater runs as she wet a towel and wiped her face with it,carefully going through every features on her face.Her eyes was heavy as she did it....she then lazily pressed her tube of toothpaste onto her toothbrush.She attempted to put the toothbrush but misses her mouth several times.Lack of sleep apparently messed up her coordination and sense of direction.She finally brushed her teeth and proceed to shower...with her sleeping clothes still on(XD).
*goes back to Loki*
Loki was already dressed in a neat white shirt and black pants,his school uniform.A pair of guns,one black,the other sliver was hanging from its holdster from his coat.The coat was jet black and had an insignia on it that read "TEMPEST" on the left and "LEGENDS" on the right.It was hanging behind the door to his room.His room was pretty undecorated and plain.
He grabbed his bag and headed for the door.He noticed his apartment was already empty.....as he didnt hear his riotous mother anywhere in the house.
"Mother must hav gone to the hospital early again"
Glances over to the table on the kitchen.
"And forgotten to fee her son again..- -;;...."
Noticed that the clock on the wall read 7.20am....
"WTF????????????LATE!!!!!!"
Loki wore his shoes without tying up the shoe laces and proceeded to dash to school which coincidentally wasnt that far.
*goes back to the other girl*
The sky was light orange as the sun is making its way out from the previous night sky as Hati resumes his job of chasing after the sun.Clouds were puffy and wind was calm.The makings of a beautiful day.
She was also making her way to school.Her walking was.....not steady as it was more to swaying side to side.Her uniform was same of that of loki's.Same school.
"I,Ciel Yamato must not stay up late again......It would be bad if i fell asleep in class...i am a model student*Picture of her holding an award and people cheering for her in the back ground* after all^^"Ciel said to herself
"Not my fault last night horror movie was so addictive......"Making excuse for her own fault....
Loki bumped into her as she swayed to the left,causing her to spin and fall.
*the sound of glass shattering*
"Sorry,already is late i am"Loki shouted as he continued to dash.
Ciel landed flat on the floor on her butt,although not bothered that someone knocked into her.
"Was that the headless ghost rider?"
*Waved at the figure in the distance*Apparently still half awake(XD)
A sense of coldness envelopes her.What is this feeling?She wondered.Its strange..she felt that there is something..but couldnt make sense what it is as it was a new sensation.She just noticed her watch read 7.30am.
"hehehe hey i am late....."
a few moments of slience as reality sinks in....
"I AM LATE!!!!!!!!!!!!"She dashed to the school gate that wasnt so far off.
"oooo...she make a delicious snack....young girl's blood taste soo sweet...and they are so tender and soft to touch...and their screams...hehehehehe..makes its so fun...."A being was observing Ciel as she ran.He licked his lips in ecstasy at the thought of his prey.
(Note that the being in the end is a possessed so therefore he is visible to normal humans and they then to go overboard in feeding than normal Deimoses)

Testing
The seminar thing is now in full irritation mode as i hav to stay back nearly everyday..- -;;....a few things loki notes.The presentation was nicely done but somehow it doesnt feel right for me.Its difficult to give a presentation,remember lines and now hav to remember to keep pace with the music.....apparently everyone else seem not to see this minor detail....and yeah loki's Ego is hurt on several occassion.For those who know me,knows that i hav a somewhat big ego.Since although i am a GFX,i had no part in putting together the slideshow as my team mate insisted on doing it himself...and see him getting recognition for it..is like..argh.....its not by intentional,but its something that i feel...although i did put together the script but heck anyone can do that...just whether or not its good.So yeah my ego is hurt so loki is in dejected puppy mode....i dont even know why i even put up with all this...- -;;...but i know that i cant quit and for some reason,seeing their smile..just makes it worth my while
YEAH i am a sucker...- -;;...always recieving the short end of the stick and can never say no to people..>_>....sigh
My greatest fear has always been not being adequent and people leaving me.Its just that people never really seem to stick with me long,as i dont know most people tend to hang out with more interesting characters.As the not being adequent part...part of me is constantly saying that its not good enough,you hav to try harder.Thats why its hard to convince me what i do is good unless i believe it is so.
Drawing....well i could say that improved abit....just that inking is my newest nemesis.I used the smallest pen nib and actually bore a hole through the paper XD.......and the other thing was that i was nearly already done when a drop of ink landed on my characters face...and now it looks like she got shot...- -;;.My other problem is legs and hands.Legs for me its hard to make it look natural as mine tend to look....unatural and hands....must be me but i tend to get confused on where the thumb should be XD....so far currently is drawing out the wayward one Rin Rin...but took the easy way out and not draw her hands but instead they are concealed inside her gaunlets.
Bought another PC game...Onimusha 3.Its pretty decent...but for some reason i find the CG cinematics very irritating.They combined movie and CG....i rather they just stuck to CG.Its hard to use a keyboard playing this game......
I bought my mother a bracelet for mothers day through "indirect" money hehehehe.If its one skill that i hav is that the ability to draw money from siblings and parents XD.That reminds me,the seminar teach,Ms cindy was pretty surprised that i was using a pink pencilbox.I used it cause it was cute and that my sister wasnt using it.She kept asking "is that yours?is that yours?"....it only has a cute pic of a cat on it...not some barbie or unicorn ...- -;;...and then she said"hafiz,you are cool leh,brave to use pink".Lol...she hasnt seen nothing yet.Loki of the 108 skills muahahahahahaha
Dont know why but i keep doing GFX of shana.....that brings me to another question...how old is shana?its like she is about i dont know 12?...her height seems to be around that age..but hard to tell....hmmm
JSF HAS ENDED!!!!!The ending was dammmmmmmmmmm sad.....humans are really the worse...- -;;....and why was Ai fate to be that??Its just to cruel.....after all,she did serve the master of hell for 400 years doing the insane work of accepting requests and doing it with a straight face....well atleast she be resting in peace in hell.Her three helpers parted ways as their miss cant remember them anymore...that was their "hell".Lastly,seems that there is a new hell girl replacement....hmm..although the identity was not revealed,i still prefer Ai as she was damm cool,her cold humour was hilarious and is kind....as she did something she wasnt suppose to do as she related what happen to takuma,as what had happen to her before she became hell girl.I should make a memorial for departed anime characters hahaha.
Good news,i may continue my story in my next post but it has to be restarted on the beginning as i made numerous changes.Typing it out cause i am afraid that i may forget certain stuff....didnt like typing it out cause its difficult to post consecutive stories + other posts.....
maybe my three only readers...*check tagboard* well two other readers can suggest something.
"Look!you idiot!,the miss is giving us her answer...."Wanyouudo-JSF

Heresy
the space marines seems to be taking care of that and the chibied one...hehehehe
Guess whats my final year project?Is it something big?no.Is it very high techy?no.Its an egg boiler thingy..- -;;.Not very eggciting idea isnt it.....Not my idea to begin with,some other guys idea and the others just went along with it.Ah well what the heck,less work for me
I guess I will set aside Saturdays to draw as i find that right after school,i take a nap then Tv then computer and then sleep...hahaha pretty lazy and uneventful.I guess i tire easily...loki is such a weakling....><.That reminds me,i hav a pretty low immune system aswell.I catch colds at least 3 times a week and if i am lucky they be cured by the next day.
oh yeah its Tifa's Birthday today.^^.Kudos to the girl who is helping out the emo cloud to resolve issues and help reconstruct his memories after Sephitroth did something to him lol.Not to mention that she has also alot of H doujins of her cause of her obvious proportions and her outfit in FF7.
That brings me to another issue.......There is this site called sggirls or something and it has pics of girls there.Dont get me wrong,i find them hot and all but i find it not natural and not very nice to look at,cause one they are posing,two they are trying to look as hot and cute as possible and three just dont like and they post the pics...meaning they want attention......What ever happen to elegance and grace...i rather look at pictures of that and be mesmerized of sorts.Modern clothing for girls...is barely clothing at all lol.More like a few inches of cloth covering here and there.I could swear sometimes the clothes that this girls wear is screaming"here come rape me".Its okay to wear modern clothing but well atleast it has to be more conservative.The world is really becoming superficial and well unpredictable...i hav a little sister,and for that i fear for her that much....and having a party animal of an elder sister...really gives me a headache..seems that i am the only sane one among my parent's offsprings.....
I want to watch JSF 26,Seto no hanayome 3 and Sola 4,but is too tired to do so.Riot Dragon...dont know,this title came to mind,the riot part came from Sol badguy's riot stomp attack.Wonder if faithy is still watching JSF....
Saving money to buy a PS3.Yeah finally starting to save....maybe will buy Valkery Profile:lenneth next month.need my fix of RPG madness.Just bought burnout dominator and is really addicted.Didnt thought of it much before playing it but heck,it more fun than need for speed.Need for speed is all about driving and becoming first...but dominator anything goes!Thats what i like...hehehe fighting dirty...
Starcraft 2?HAHAHAHAHAHAHA.Dont make me laugh....in the words of "The boss"delta 38
"A more elegant weapon for a more advance time?WELL times hav changed"
Dawn of war is the new frontier.No known franchise can even come close to beating any of the races in it.Wait till Dawn of war 2 show.....it will destroy the statcraft community like insects before the imperial titans...MUHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Cant wait for Ocean's Thirteen.Ocean's 11 was the best.Ocean's 12 was well more of the thinking man movie and one hav to be smart to figure out what is happening.Love this line between Al pacino and george clooney
Al pacino"I know all sorts of people in my line,they can cause you all sorts of pain"
George"Oh yeah?I know all the people who you are gonna hire and they like me better"
Simply brilliant ^^
Been watching this show on youtube called.Chad vader,the day shift manager and its pretty funny and awesome.The 8th ep is coming out this week.
"Help him up...you musician"lol
