Sketches

PWTC's stint and i froze

I've been given a chance by MBBY (Malaysian Board on Books for Young People) to do a short presentation and talk on how to break into the US comic industry at Putra World Trade Center (PWTC). This was the 2nd time i'm presenting in front of the crowd. First was at a school.

I thought everything would be okay. I had prepared some texts and some visual aids. The crowd were getting bigger and bigger. I realized i was biting my nails. Then the session started. I was going to be the next after this guy present his talk on how to write novels.

Then my time came. I froze.

I started panicking and i fumbled through my texts. I was saying things that i didn't write, i didn't prepare. The crowd kept looking at me. I was terribly terrified.

Then the questions and answers session. A few questions i could answer, but came the time bomb question. I couldn't answer it, but i tried every possible way. I felt very awful already and i told the other presenter to go on.

I hid in the toilet for half an hour.

Then when i came by, most of my friends rushed to me and gave me support. I felt pretty okay after that.

Later in the evening my friend told me that i was on tv. Wow, i must have been very excited to hear that. I guess it's worthwhile after all.

So the next workshop will be next month. I hope this time i can curb my stage fright.

Another Blaze?

I must have been crazy because i've been drawing this character over and over again. I may have a crush on him. Which is not surprising really. LOL XD!

Sketch - who the Blazes is he...

That's right, it's Blaze Jadenston! =p

'Yaoi' relationships in The Cavaliers

(For those who find boy love relationships uncomfortable, you don't have to see the sketches. =))

I discovered that i haven't been reading much yaoi stuffs as before. Like, it's passing me by. Not as obsessed as before anyway. Is it because i'm getting old? LOL!

That doesn't mean I'm stopping though. Well, maybe not now anyway. The latest victims of my crazy imagination are The Cavaliers. Yup, those 5 young boys who inherit the power of the Gods. No kidding. Whoever would have thought that they are actually head over heels with one another?

The first pairing i did was Julian and Jordan. I've been drawing this couple since a few years back. I remembered Allyn did a fan art about it. Basically it's kind of a love-hate relationship. Julian being the uke and Jordan being the seme. I had fun with these two. I already have ideas for a yaoi doujinshi of these two buggers. Bwaahahaha!

Second pairing would fall on Blaze and Jason. I seem to be drawn to this couple. First of all, Jason has this uke-ish traits. He's pretty, tall, shy, polite, considerate (way opposite of his brother Jordan). What more can you ask for? Oh. And gentle too. Enter Blaze. Brave, persistent, confident, protective, leader, handsome. Put them together and what do you get? Perfect couple!

Like any other relationships, there will always be obstacles along the journey. But they still stick on together like velcro.

Enough said. Here's some of the sketches and doodles i did on these 'ethereal' couple. :-D



ps - you need to click on the images to read the descriptions i typed on the sketches. they can answer some of your questions if you have any.... ^.^

Doodles doodling mcdoodles

I was doodling out ideas for WTF #1, when i kept staring at my artwork on the SPA calender i got yesterday (thanx uncle Jim!). I was so proud of it that i just doodled out Adriel Astin (c) and Jason Dorwille (c) being so happy. :) Also tried doodling using the wacom tablet but i'm still not very good at mastering it. Hahaha. :p

The dark and the bright (random sketch)

I have been meaning to do this for a long time. It's a yaoi idea between Julian and Jordan from the Cavaliers. Well, yaoi is actually boy's love term, it's popular in Japan and it's catching up pretty fast all over the world. Close example? Check out Brokeback Mountain and you will know what i mean. The thing is, i figured I'll just join in the fun and see what i can do with these two opposite attracts character. Julian is a high spirited, jovial, happy-go-lucky person. Always laughing and giggling, more like a 9 year old kid who doesn't have a care in the world. Enter Jordan. Always brooding, never smiles, very short-tempered, likes to pick up a fight, aggressive, and even rumoured to be a demon who will destory all humanity. Both of them hate each other's guts, but occasionally they hang out like good friends should. But do they have something that they don't even know, but it's there? Now that is a mystery indeed. *nods*

Blaze looking good...

... in this style of coloring, don't you think? Inspired by Saint Seiya and Gensomaden Saiyuki. (i heart Cho Hakkai!)

The boys are back!

Yeah it's kind of very late. Cavaliers #2 should be released like.. since last year. But I'm moving on. Although a little late, but I'm moving on bebeh! In Cavs #2, the origin of how they became 'the Gods' bodies' were told. So, wait for it! ^_^

The Main Place

Thanx to Jack for checking out my blog posts. Heck i really miss the Main place a whole lot. But i'm trying to finish a few pages of Cavs #2 so i can prove to Jim that i'm not a very bad person after all. So far i got 5 pages.... LOL XD But i am pushing it! Eeek Eekkk!

The Main place..... sounds like an idea brewing in my head.... ^_^









Reminds me of the song called Paperback Writer by The Beatles.

Heck i love the Beatles! *screams for Ringo*

What Blaze said...

Comic Fiesta 08

I attended the Comic Fiesta 08 as a volunteer for the Pekomik Booth. I didn't prepare stuffs of mine to be sold at the booth though. I was busy helping out my 'little sis' with her comics, doujinshis and bookmarks. It's her first time selling her artworks and i must say, most of the visitors liked her work. Made me proud that i managed to teach her a few ropes on comics and stuff. LOL XD! I made new friends, met old friends, hang out, laugh, joke, whatever. It was pretty much tiring and exciting at the same time. There were some awkward moments when i met my old college mate and i had no idea what to talk about. I'm not too sure if i ever want to do it again next time around. I'm planning to experience a comic convention in America instead. And i'm hoping to meet all my friends there. To name a few, Jim Main, Lance Boucher, Sam gafford, Jack Bertram, John Lambert, Dennis Kinniger, Wally Lowe, Jim Salicrup, Todd Dezago, Colleen Doran, Mike Wieringo (OOPS! He passed away...) and many others. But i am so looking forward to meet my best buddie and my big sis, Jennifer Wheaton and family. :D I would like to soak up the culture, and everything. It'll be fun! What an adventure yeay! XD

Photoshop hiatus

Funny that i can't seem to find my photoshop and illustrator cs3 cd. I know i've put it somewhere. I hate it when i misplaced things! Baka! LOL XD

Comic Fiesta is coming soon. On the 20-21st December. I'm working on Cavaliers #2. Yesterday I've discovered my very early version (not really THAT early) of Cavaliers and it's about how they met and how the Cavaliers came about. Very very different from the idea i have now. In fact, it's so different that i have forgotten how i actually start thinking about it in the first place. But as i read through the 46 pages of comic that did, i felt very nostalgic about it. Something deep within me moved and i smiled the whole night. I realized this Cavaliers project has been in my blood ever since, and i certainly can't be parted with it. They're like my family. My sons. I need to look after their well-being and i need to protect them from any harm. Yeah it sounds kind of corny, but i really love them. After all, i created them. LOL XD!

I started listening to Vanessa Mae's Contradanza. I haven't heard the song for awhile. This particular song inspired me to draw the robust energetic attitude of the Cavaliers and their distinguishable passion for adventure. Every rhythm, every harmony, every notes, has a drama and story unfolding within it. I was very much excited to relate the group with this music. It's so much fun and there's abundance of freedom in the music. It's almost as if it's portraying the every essence of being youths, teenagers, children. It's the freedom of life itself. Wow it's giving me goosebumps!



I'm going to try my hands on drawing Nova Kane, E-man's partner and maybe girlfriend i suppose.




But i need to get me a photoshop and illustrator first. :)

Oh by the way, here's some pages from the early Cavaliers comic i had worked on.










The idea is pretty lame. I'm happy i developed it into something entirely different now. XD And no, Jule's body is not as beefed up as in the above comic.

Gotta get photoshop after lunch. In the meantime I'll work on the latest Cavaliers #2. I think i'm going to be very happy getting back on track again. :)
