Light Shining From Within

This is my entry to the Team Wacom Philippines Contest. I tried to step up with the digital painting  for this piece, because you have to. And now Im certain this is a notch above my previous stabs at digital painting. here + here.

Other entries here. 

 Screen-cap of the work in progress.

MONUMENT TO IDLENESS

Today was the deadline for submissions to the Wacom Anime and Manga Contest. I was to finish [even sloppyly] my entry tonight. Oh well, all that i can see now is how to finish it properly rather than rushing through it. It started out with the theme of escape, but then my ideal compositio seem to be beyond my technical skill as a draftsman. Take two would be a conceptual self portrait, until that seemed a bit too stiff. Until i hit upon the concept again of freedome, using the space in full and incorporate every theme that has inspired me. From Belldandy and her sisters, from dragon ball z to Pokemon, from Sailor-moon to Slam Dunk. Sigh

Tonight though was a night of celebration, as a friend said a cheerful goodbye to the office. He is now in the last few stages to becoming a full fleged Architect. We wished him all the best, luck and hope he treats us to more beer in the future.

Two beers seem to be my quota these days as it has been a long time since the High School Days of yor drinking every day, a case of beer between four people. Those days seem like a blur. I guesse it was to be, considering the amount of aclohol we ingested.

What a Load of TOSH

Finally! 7 Years of pining for a decent upgrade. Finally. Got some new gear just in time for a new exhibit a friend is planning. Also this would also get me to dabble in other varied projects in other fields. Heres hoping...

Thanks to you. You know who you are...

Also a friend also recently upgraded her gear, and asked me to purchase a new tool.
