I went to my lect, CK's art exhibition. The topic was 'Lucha no Libre'. The freedomless Mexican Wrestler.

Today for class we did linocard printing! Here is my linocard board which I carved.



There's no going back anymore... since it's carved twice. And here are the prints:



These two above are printed on a more brownish looking paper... I thought it would suit the cat mood since I made the cat all grumpy. The second one is kinda ruined because I slid the linocard by accident. Oh noes!



The actual color of this paper is peach... so it's alot brighter. Priscilla was right... it did turn out alright with peach. xD In fact, I think it looks better because it has more contrast.

Linocard is soo awesome.. quite easy to cut compared to wood. But the scary part is when we need to manually print it so if it's misaligned oh noes. I wish I made more though... :O But it was already such a challenge for me to carry all home all these oil-based painted stuff (which means it takes forever to dry) while holding up my self-portrait and my 3 bags of stuff. O__O;;

I'm sooo gonna get the wood carving equipment and some spirit to do this at home. :D

OMG another music vid that made me go "how could I have not seen this before?" TT___TT I loveee it... <3

I heard this song before but never bothered to find out who sung it... and omg... I never knew Mika had alot of nice songs. :O

Yess.. semangat!! >w< Need semangat to do game cover, and I'm planning to do this game.

Lol apparently the typical covers where everyone is standing still and posing isn't what the lect had in mind. *lol my bad* XDDDDD Need to think of it in terms of artwork wise, and tell a kind of story in the pic too.

Keeaaatsssssssss!! YAYY!!! Another guy in a wonderful cloak, unconciously similiar to my Musashi. O__O;;

Wow. *-* How come I never saw this before?

Some templates for freelance contracts... will be handy in the future.

From this blog where the dude did the job but then the client hired someone else after that... so all the work he/she did went wasted. And so the dude is advising freelances to get the contract in writing.

I finally got back my camera from the shop after slightly more than one month. :)

Surprisngly, I feel utterly stressed. Homework and class during a holiday week made me more stressed than usual days of classes. o__O;;

I managed to get back into a happy-go-sketchy mood~ And one of my current happy-sketchy is attempting to make caricatures of famous people. :D 

Though art college is wonderful, sometimes too much stress from art can be so demotivating. Like pressure to draw perfect beautiful pictures till I don't wanna touch the pencil to draw anything at all. Luckily I got myself a book called 'Drawing From Within' by Nick Meglin which is very encouraging and brought back the mood. :)

Also, I found a colourful website for so called 'cheap' games (as someone called it) that is free to download and play. It's www.myplaycity.com/index.html where I found a pretty-ok-nice game called Magic Farm. Since I like time-management games like those, that one was really fun to play. :D I like the cheerful game feeling and the simple gameplay. :3

It happened a few days ago when I was parking my car in my driveway. I just pulled the handbreak and turned off the engine when I saw a Malay dude next to my car slamming his fist with a rock at my car window. It was such a loud sound, and my first thought was that he's an angry man after me. And "what the heck is he doing in my house?!" I screamed, locked the doors, and pressed on the horn.

He then ran off to another guy on a motorbike and they both drove off. My sisters came out of the house with my maid and like asked me what happened. Apparently they didn't see what happened, and only came out after they heard the horn. They said it could be a snatch thief, though I was wondering if it's just some angry motorbike dude that I scared when I turned into my house. 

Anyway, there was no damage or loss, except me being in such shock that I cried. And James took me out to Tropicana City to watch a movie to comfort me. My dad told me to be more careful. o__O;; Though I'm not sure how to be more careful, but I'll definately not put my bag on the seat next to me and always lock the damn doors. (I really think it was God's blessing that he didn't try opening the door first).

My mom urged me to make a police report, and so I did the next day. Apparently the police are after these dudes for quite a while, and too bad I didn't take down their plate number. (I saw it, but I didn't think it was a snatch theif so I didn't take it down. ;___; ) And the police said it was a good thing I pressed the horn or else the guy would have tried to break the window. WHAT?! O____O;; Ok, I totally didn't see that coming. =.=;;

And last night I was having trouble sleeping, hearing a loud slamming sound in my head. (Like a bad song being replayed in my head, except it was a bang sound.) Then I realized it was the sound of the guy slamming my car window. Damn....

What it is about: An average white-collar worker gets kidnapped by a rouges that call themselves the Black Lagoon. His company didn't want to bail him out and stuff, so he gets an ephiphany and joins the Black Lagoon.

Episodes consist mostly of: Guns and shooting. Deaths. Talking~ LoL

Honestly, I found the begining episodes a little boring and didn't want to continue watching. At first it just felt like I'm watching something that is supposed to be a 'realistic' type of story where they have the average gunmen and military. I wasn't really too impressed since I've watched a couple of documentaries on military stuff, so it felt like a watered down version of the real thing.

BUT~!!

Since I believe animes are usually a selection of popular manga, I thought I'll jump into different episodes and try to find what could have made it so popular. And yes, I found a couple of episodes which I did enjoy especially those that are a bit more on the fantasy type. You know... like a pair of beautiful albino killer twins. Haha~
( Spoilers and pics~ )

Overall rating: Not bad, since there are a few interesting elements and episodes. Being anime, it didn't go overboard on anything, though it's not quite children-friendly. Some parts actually gave me the chills. A few episodes were pretty exciting, but some were a little on the slow side.

A program that can easily transform your pics to look like those old vintage polaroids! My heart's taken yeah~



I love the virtual camera sitting on my desktop. When I put the pics into the camera, it'll make a click-click sound and you'll get the developing polaroid! I love how it develops - the picture becomes more and more obvious and you can anticipate the result~ This new toy made my day~

My tutor had mentioned it in class, and I found it her blog. You can get yours here if you like (it's free~!) A big plus for me it only took about 3 mins to download (PC): www.poladroid.net/index.php

Floral Watch Brooch-Pendant 1 by *Aranwen on deviantART

;_____; Why do people keep making tempting watches?

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince movie was not bad - I kinda enjoyed it. Since J.K. Rowling doesn't like action figures, I would think that she wouldn't like those type of action movies either, so yeah I guess it kinda fulfills the basic requirement for the movie in her standards I'd believe. I still think the first book was the best, the others are just pretty OK. I wouldn't rawr about it but I wouldn't dislike it either.

And yays~! I got to play House of the Dead 4 in arcade! :D Spent RM10 (for two - one person would be RM5, so I guess it's still not too bad). And there's a Silent Hill (not sure what number) in Tropicana arcade! >w< It's so awesome~! Too bad I was kinda shocked when I saw Pyramid Head, and I didn't know where to shoot him, so I kept shooting his flesh area. Erm, cuz I thought it'll be his unarmoured weaker spot but he appears unscathed. And when he was strangling a girl I was shooting his butt. Haha~ Anyway I got pawned mostly by the roaches though cuz they're kinda dark and hard to see. *will google on how to kill pyramid head*

Anyone here plays Rappelz? :D
