Hippocampus!


Yup, im so stressed right now, that i wanna kill someone! Urgh! The whole week was non stop studying and rushing, there wasn't time for anything!! Well, im glad its friday, finally able to get a breather. I drew typically, used others work as a platform to practice so none of these works will be posted on deviantart...=.= I drew a hippocampus just now, really like the combination of horse and fish. Did it from 1430 to 1700, fast? You bet! Anyway at least most of the stress is gone... phew. As usual, hippocampus from kankakanka, i adore her style that is, very flowing and anyway my mum really wanted me to draw a horse. The thing is i know hardly anything about horse anatomy...=.= So the hippocampus still turn out ok... But it was so big i couldn't exactly get the whole picture fixed inside the entire A4 size paper though its really nice! Yay! Gonna color it next friday, i think. The coloring process would take a long while but im gonna take it nice and slow. No hurry. Hehe, listened to MW2 soundtrack for the picture, keeps me awake through the drawing process. Dumm de de de dum de de de dum dum de (Repeat, faster and faster!!) Its Boneyard Flyby, search for it at my mixpod down there, Number 9! Yay, thats better! Listening to it right now, so going kinda hyper again...o.0 Anway, of course original stuffs by kankakanka!^.^
Thanks again to Photoshop for the bluey effect of my hipposcampus and the clean white background!!

The Deer?!

Ya, i finished this gemsbok using a reference from kankakanka as usual, since im in love with her style. Another design for valentines day i think, well im still thinking if i shuld rescan my wolf, the edited version... Meh, probably not.. Anyway, the horse attempt was a failure, im not very sure of their anatomy nor can i get my hands onto a good reference picture. Tried using a pic from PearlEden but didnt turn out well. X.X So maybe i will just give them this three, bleh... Anyway, im down with a flu? Maybe? Probably? Got a sore throat and runny nose plus a lot of stress! I have five test next week. Social Studies, check. Geography?! NOO!! I have ten pages filled with words to memorise and i haven't even started! Screwed!! Chinese? Check. Physics? Check. Elementary Math? Check! Right, and a biology test on homeostasis and kidney function? Thats the week after next... phew... Argh, this is crazy!=.= Plus the sickness is kinda driving me mad. Urgh...

Valentines Day?!

Right so valentine's day and Chinese New Year comes hand in hand right? And well, my school's co- curriculum activity wanted to do something for the Valentine's Day stuff and as a senior in that school, im in charge of advertising, how fun is that?! =.= Anyway, im suppose to draw something, anything and write what my CCA is selling/ doing on that design. After which it is distributed to every class and placed on the notice board or placed around the school. Whoa, huge opportunity, grabs at that chance! Well, i came up with the combination of a tiger, wolf, horse, and maybe a deer? 4 seperate designs and they can type what they want in photoshop. so as not to ruin my picture. Haha, i don't want to ruin it!! Well, i will be planning on the edited Maeve, the wolf that i just posted here in my recent entry other than this. And i just finished the tiger, as the coming chinese new year is coming and that chinese zodiac is tiger!^.^ As usual i used a reference, this time Dark Tiger by kankakanka. So heres my tiger at a very raw state! With no shading just a very brief sketch of the lineart. Edited in Adobe Photoshop CS4!^.^

Updates!



Ok, i started drawing again. Have to make sure that Photoshop trail time is not wasted at all, so i drew a wolf!^.^ Typically, its a really fun and cheery one and Female of course! ^.^ But this is a very basic one with hardly any changes to it. I could spot a lotta mistakes here and there already exaples are the fur near the head and paws, the front two especially but im really satisfied with the tail. But for some reason, white spots that ruined the picture starts appearing out of nowhere! Its a total nuisance!! Making coloring difficult and ruin it!!=.= Wonder whats the cause... So here it is with sketchy lines and very messy stuffs everywhere. Spot a mistake, highlight it to me!^.^ O right, side picture is a stray cat i took the day before, edited in photoshop naturally. Very satisfied with how it came out. Lovely!XD
Ok, i spotted a big probelm. Front paw! Big time wrong! Gotto edit it..=.= Anyway, what should i call this little buddy? Suggestions?

Today isn't exactly a good day for me. I did say its a real nasty day. Ok, first thing i did the class t- shirt design. Typically, i drew a wolf since its my strong point. Well, i actually rushed 2 hours for the wolf and guess what the majority said NO! My GOD! =.= All my work gone down to drain... Ok, maybe not, i edited it in photoshop and guess what im not gonna buy the bloody t- shirt. Reason 1 => Its PINK! Reason 2 => Most likely some kinda design i don't like. Reason 3 => I don't want to wear it. Simple as that! Anyway, i hat the class, the majority of it. I have a friend, she's an artist too and when they flash her work. A string of Eww and Yuck came out from my classmates! Can you believe that?! I gotta write this, i mean maybe yo ucould have thought about it before saying. My friend almost cried, i mean who wouldn't?!! Some more she's an art student, even i will feel demoralized! Come on, wake up people! Well, finished the wolf today, just posted it on deviantart, gonna post it here too.

Animal Photography and updates...



So... What shall i say, a week passed in a blink of an eye... Anyway, the bio SPA practical was a hoax, lucky me but it was real scary... Thats for sure. Firstly, because of time constraint, i was sweating like i just came from a bath! Well, i think thats the main scare factor... Well, so im still currently obsessed with Modern Warfare 2.
Of course! What are you thinking?! its the best game ever! =.= Ok, a little hyper right now but after compiling the whole cut scene/ walk through at my blog, it ain't that fascinating... (you can find it down there at the right corner just above the poll i think? you can definately spot it, the long list of Act 1 -Act 3)...
Right the main characters!!
^Sgt. Joseph Allens => Ranger becomes C.I.A. Start of game you play as him? Got killed during *No Russians* (K.I.A)
^Pvt James Ramirez => Ranger. The defense of U.S against Russian invasion.
^Capt 'Soap' MacTavish => Commands Task Force 141. Killed Shepherd!! YES!
^Sgt. Gary "Roach" Sanderson => Kinda like main character. In taskforce 141. Killed by Shepherd during *Loose Ends* (K.I.A)
^Simon "Ghost" Riley => Part of Taskforce 141. killed by shepherd during *Loose Ends* (K.I.A)
^Capt. John Price => Escaped from the gulag with the help of Taskforce 141. Was Soap mentor during Call of Duty 4.
^Lt. General Shepherd => Commander of both Task Force 141 and the Army Rangers. Betrays the Task Force members so that he would be seen as the main hero. Dick!

Ok, anyway, i wanna share with your some amazing photos about nature and wildlife from deviantart again.
