Another Darklord Update

Finally done with the polearm, the handle's not too large anymore. Kinda tired, I don't know if I should go on with the environment and stuff. What do you think? Sorry about the watermark. XD

Not-So-Daily Update

Been feeling too down to do anything productive last week, hence the slow progress of any work. Snecx wanted an update, so here it is.

Blood Test Results

The doctor just called. The blood test results are out, and Coco is having a slight kidney problem. She needs to drink more water. Her heart has no problems though.

And then he said Jojo's heart had an unusual growth on it, and it might be the cause for the heart failure. He added that he has seen such cases in the past, and the dogs rarely live longer than 2 years...

Looking Forward

The mood around the house is getting a little better now... Coco's cheering up as well. But then again, the image of her sister on the table, those final strokes... they still stick around. Sometimes I even see Jojo around her usual spots, looking back at me with her silly expression.

Bathed Coco today, I had to brawl with her after the bath in Jojo's place... and I think she needs a new ball to play with.

I'll never forget Jojo.

Despair

They say writing sorts out your thoughts. I hope they're right.

Jojo's no longer around. The fat girl left us today. There she was, lying on the table, cold and motionless. I stroked her fur, that short, shiny coat I loved so much. But she's gone.

The doctor explained that her heart failed during the final stages of surgery (spaying),  that her heartbeat got weaker and weaker.  It seems that it's not an external factor, but a problem with her heart.

This is so sudden. I was sleeping when mom woke me up crying. I even had an anxiety attack when I first closed my eyes this afternoon. I just can't stop thinking that I actually felt it coming.

Jojo didn't eat much this morning. But she was her usual self, running out as soon as the gates opened. Then it was time to bring them to the vet. Jojo was especially reluctant to get out of the car, and she even struggled a bit. She looked so scared in the cage at the back of the vet. I kept saying that it's okay, and I'll get her tomorrow morning. It's okay.

And she's gone. My precious girl is gone.

FA Showcase 2008

The Film & Animation Showcase's main event was a blast, thanks to Haze Long, the director of it all, and the high comittee who were absolutely dedicated to the whole thing. Big players of the industry attended the showcase and were clearly impressed with it. Oh yeah, it was held at KL Tower on the 11th of July, with public exhibitions on both the 12th and 13th.

Not being the official photographer, I don't have many shots to show, but I'll put up some of them soon. Btw, no updates for the darklord piece for now, getting some stuff sorted out.

Call Me!

Whipped up a quick card design for myself today.

Darklord Daily Update 9/7/2008

It's 1.44 am... i'm too hyped up to sleep. So many things to learn, so many things to do. But I must force myself to rest... Here's the update.

Big Bad Weapon

I wonder if it's big enough XD. Was aiming for an elegant weapon fit for a lord, a symbol of authority that also strikes fear into enemies on the battlefield. Yam suggested a polearm, and here it is. He also stated that a piece of cloth (like a horsetail on spears) with the lord's emblem would give more impact to the weapon. Will revise the design later.

Dude In Shiny Black Suit

Here's an initial concept of the darklord to fill up this barren wasteland. Always wanted to design something that I really like, and that is :

- A dark dark dude in shiny black armor holding a big, badass mutha****** weapon that can cut a swath of destruction and strike fear into any weakling that lay their eyes on him wooooot.

There you go. XD

Hello, World. WTF.

Being a total nerd nowadays. The only physical activity I do is cleaning the porch everyday. For the sake of my girls I'm okay with that.

The darklord piece is being stalled at the moment, but the lineart's ready now. This'll be my first digital painting, complete with an action pose and dead people being cut up and blown apart.

Back to photoshop.
