random 30 min photoshop sketch.

and what the shit..
i suspect the DISTs are system glitches. i sincerely doubt those grades.. because i am clear that i wasn't as conscientious as my fellow classmates, i meant they work harder and deeper than
ah but what the heck.. grades are simply grades... like a pretty facade on an empty vessel. speaking of being one, i'm still in my art limbo.. not being able to draw much... neither express myself visually...

it's terrible.

and it's nice to take a pit stop at an oasis of demo wacom tablets.

the cintiq is GOOD SHIT.
imagine drawing on the LCD monitor itself, and it's utterly scratchproof and rugged.
the fun part- 1024 levels of pressure sensitivity. that means painting digitally can feel very natural nonetheless.

however.. the pretty price tag ($5k) isn't really... attractive. unless let's say, one has luxury cars and better still, chauffeurs, at their disposal.
oh if only... if only.. *wistful sigh*

I'd rather get a mac G5, though. lols. it's about the same price. :x

You are Apple OS X. You are beautiful, stable, and a catgirl. It’s no wonder people love you. It's sometimes a little annoying that so many people stick with the obviously inferior Windows, but since you know you’re better, you don't let it bother you much.

apples are juicy and good for design :D

Modern, Cool Nerd

65 % Nerd, 56% Geek, 21% Dork

For The Record:

A Nerd is someone who is passionate about learning/being smart/academia.

A Geek is someone who is passionate about some particular area or subject, often an obscure or difficult one.

A Dork is someone who has difficulty with common social expectations/interactions.

You scored better than half in Nerd and Geek, earning you the title of: Modern, Cool Nerd.

Nerds didn't use to be cool, but in the 90's that all changed. It used to be that, if you were a computer expert, you had to wear plaid or a pocket protector or suspenders or something that announced to the world that you couldn't quite fit in. Not anymore. Now, the intelligent and geeky have eked out for themselves a modicum of respect at the very least, and "geek is chic." The Modern, Cool Nerd is intelligent, knowledgable and always the person to call in a crisis (needing computer advice/an arcane bit of trivia knowledge). They are the one you want as your lifeline in Who Wants to Be a Millionaire (or the one up there, winning the million bucks)!

Congratulations!

Thanks Again! -- THE NERD? GEEK? OR DORK? TEST

My test tracked 3 variables How you compared to other people your age and gender:

You scored higher than 99% on nerdiness
You scored higher than 99% on geekosity
You scored higher than 99% on dork points

"It's time to show off everything you've been learning about your arting, that's right! It's time to put your pencil to the test."

at http://forums.megatokyo.com/index.php?showtopic=1717924

sort of a small forum competition, thought it'd be fun drawing myself (again, not again, nat.. nooo).

and thought it'd be fun oiling up my art gears again, doing something slightly different (I always draw people in static poses with pretty closeups or something) and then it was also fun getting alot of kick-in-the-nuts postmortem. Like how I was told that my knowledge of the human anatomy sucks assssss. whoopie!

Speaking of human anatomy it will be included in my next semester Drawing 2 module.
So I must get practicing on some serious people anatomy.

2006-09-11T11:25:00.000-07:00

I gotta quit drawing one-dimensional stuff and get along with drawing posed people.. and stuff. :3

Itsa quick painting, more of an experiment with a soft edged brush.

..if only I had legs like that. i digress. :b

I was dozing on the train soundly when the back of my mind urged me to draw something out right away.
and the something goes like this:
A woman is delighted to have created a strange but possibly tasty meal (mee siam mai hum), and turns out that her culinary genius have burst out of the kwali. A magnificent portal to a magical land.

I can't write for nuts, so, I won't continue. :/

Oh no, this song's all sticky in my head. :o

...what's with this new layout?

It's trauma therapy I tell you.

Anyway make the poor kid here (me) feel extra better and tell her how much this cheap rip of a Blogger template layout rocks lol.

(the irony: I was making a new layout when the ACCIDENTAL deleting of my blog occured. damnfuckshitpissugh

but fret not!
There is hope.
I hope.
to un-delete this blog back into its usual glory.)

My blog is back- but on a wrong note. Yay.

2006-09-10T00:24:00.000-07:00

I bear some tragic news.

First,
Every single shred of this blog's archives have perished in a freak nuclear accident omfgbbq.
No.. really, because I pressed a stupid "Delete This Blog" button by accident.
It's still a freak accident. Anyway.
Now ladies and gentlemen, will you please give a round of applause for this daft incident committed by NNA.

Secondly,
This isn't a completely new layout.
It's actually one of Blogger's pre-made template with simple modifications.
Once again ladies and gentlemen, please give another round of applause for this deft attempt at doing a new layout!
Bravo!

Yeah, I'm jaded alright.

It's not like I wanted this to happen.
I wasn't seeing things properly, then I went trigger-happy clickity click on the "Delete this blog" button and then the blog goes boom boom.
I thought I saw "Save this blog". Wow.

Someone gouge my fucking eyes out and stick a fork in them.
