September 2012 Update

Hey everyone... whoops, two months since the last post already? OAO Well, I'm quite productive these days so I'll just post some of my new drawings XD

 

Also, on Anime Festival Asia, I finally met with my favorite Anime blogger, Danny Choo! I made a drawing of Mirai, an original character which is the mascot for his website.

And I also took a picture with him! \(^o^)/

Late July Update

Hello everyone, how is your days going? :D

I just realized I haven't submit anything for the past weeks. Got a lot of things in my mind right now. Works, college, and community projects filled my head with deadlines. And somehow I don't have any idea what to draw. I feel like my drawings are being repetitive in terms of theme. Well, actually it's OK but I want to do something different.

Moreover, my CPU is tripping balls. Ever since I changed my motherboard, my CPU usage is off the chart. I only played Minecraft (and I don't turn any other application on) and the usage went through the roof. I should probably change my Processor, or just re-install the OS.

Anyway, lots of things happening on my community project this month. We got featured in magazine, interviewed on local radio, and of course taking part on various event to promote our community. It really makes me happy, seeing the community expanding widely since the first time I joined.

So... probably I won't be submitting much drawing these weeks. But if I get a free time (and fixed my PC) I'll try to do some drawing.

See ya!

Late May Update : VOCALO.ID 2!

Hello everyone :D

It's May already! And my community's collaboration album VOCALO.ID is nearly finisthed. I've finished my song and the cover artwork, so I'm pretty much free right now. I haven't got a job for now, so I thought I should be more productive, but damn you Internet for giving me useless things that wastes all my time and I ended up doing nothing.

So right now, I'm trying to back into my favorite DAW Ableton, trying to do some composition. It's strange how inspiration can only came to us when we are in the bathroom. (-_-)a  I spend the last month trying to understand the composition of Dubstep. It's an eye-opening experience, because till then I haven't utilized all those tools for mixing. I simply balance the volume level, but now I know that sto much more can be done to make my music sounds better.

Anyway, now I finally have things to do, and I also will try to draw something so my skills won't rot away XD See you next time!

Learning Corel Painter

So lately, I've tried to use Corel Painter, because a lot of company requires people who can handle this software. And when I get my hands on it, it's incredible! The brushes are amazing and realistic. The interface is completely different from Photoshop though, so it takes time to get used to it. But so far, I'm enjoying drawing with this software. Here are some of the first drawings I've done using Painter (and Photoshop for finishing touch).

Vocaloid Workshop by VOCAPOST Community

Last week, our Vocaloid community  VOCAPOST held a workshop about Vocaloid. Being one of the producers, I became one of the speaker to do the presentation. We're explaining all about Vocaloid, the history, the cultural impacts and of course, the software itself.

I'm quite nervous when speaking in front of peoples, but I think I got it well. With the help from others I can overcome my nervousness and the workshop is quite a success, even though there's a couple of minor problem when tutoring the process of making sequence in Vocaloid Editor.

And we are going to do this again in May! So I have to be more prepared, and brush up my presentation skill. See you next time! xD

Late March Update

Hi there, a bit late update from me this month.

Recently I've been trying to get a work, so I was kind of busy. But I managed to spare some times for practices. This month I was trying to design a CD Case for my music album.

 

So that's what it looks like. I'm trying to keep it simple, it's my principle in every design of mine. And as you can see, I'll be giving out posters as well. But the realization for this project might be still a long time from now, because I need to focus on my community's compilation album.

February Update

Well, hello there!

It's been a while since my last post, sorry for that. Lots of things to do on January. But now I got a little bit of free time, so I'll be updating this blog before it gets swarmed by moss xD

So... since I've been busy on January, this will be my first drawing on 2012. A little warm-up in Photoshop, nothing special. But after making this I realized, I should make more full-body drawing for anatomy practice. Oh well, next time I'll do just that LOL.
