I've been watching zombie movies.

Anyway.

Don't you hate it when you planned to say something awesome, only to immediately forget what it was?


... Anyway.

How ya' all doing? You might notice the new... "art" I posted. And the eccentricity that came along with it.


To tell you the truth, I forgot about deviantart.

I forgot.

That's like forgetting to bring my arm to school.

Or like forgetting to put on underwear.


The point is, I forgot about deviantart. I think I may need to reconstruct my hand to go back to drawing o_o Speaking of hands, I burnt my left hand with scalding oil the other day. One of the burn marks looks like a heart shape, and the other looks like a paramecium.

But enough about that.


How are YOU? Anything new that I should know? New pet? New hair? New pants? New eyeball?

... I've been so busy. There are a lot of competitions going on and, although I joined few, it's hectic! Skit, solo, duet, band, and then there's the community orchestra x__x Not to mention, school orchestra too!

Of course, I'm fully content with the PCOC(Puchong Community Orchestra and Choir). I didn't go online last weekend because we had officially lauched the orchestra with an awesome performance! That means that we're an official orchestra now. Yay.


Then again, to those who aren't exactly interested in my musical endeavors, and are more interested in Pokemon:

Pokemon L/D!

Check it out! It's some community project to gather trainers! I'm trying to finish mine as we speak, but various activities are preventing me from finishing it! D: So send yours now! You can get the templates from ~illuminate001's signature or simply follow the following link:

The files are .PSD, and, according the ~illuminate001, you might not be able to open it if you don't have Photoshop CS2 or higher.


And, finally, to those who aren't exactly interested in Pokemon, and are more interested in something else:

I just wanted to get rid of the tag post.


Oh, and I've recently watched a very good movie. It's called Slumdog Millionaire. I like it. Maybe you will too. Also try Son of Rambow.




On that note,











HAVE YOUR CAKE AND EAT IT TOO O:


I'm sorry. I'll just go take a shower and then go to bed. I'm sorry.

Hello,

Lately... I've been meeting with a lot of cockroaches. One even came to school... x___x

Anyway. On to the tag. A friend showed this to me, and she is not a deviant. Nor does she have any webpages featuring any form of artwork.

Collection of random questions for drawing artists everywhere!

1. Can you define art?
No. I can't.

2. State five things about you.
Five? That's quite a lot, and I very much enjoy my privacy. But if you insist:
a) My longest finger(middle) is about 7.4 cm
b) My smallest finger(pinky) is about 5 cm
c) There are those days when I feel like doing nothing but run around at the park
d) There are those days when I feel like doing nothing but sleep in my room
e) I have stated four useless facts about myself

3. How many times have you been tagged?
A few times. One or two. I'm not very tag-able...

4. Do you enjoy studying?
No, I don't. I know a few who does, though... Wonder how that feels like.

5. How messy is your working space, exactly?
Um, gee. I don't know. There are papers scattered all over, remains from the latest art project are still on my desk, a bunch of letters are messily piled up on my scanner, a small bag of chocolates is right in front of the monitor, and the wires are all tangled up like a bunch of snakes strangling each other. I also see glimpses of pens and pencils among the papers, but no eraser. My desk is definitely not dirty, though. Just unorganized.

6. When you are not an artist, who are you?
A musician, I guess. Or a comic-reader. My first years of Internet involved webcomics. LOTS of it. I was a typical "ghost" reader.

7. Have you ever went to an art class/course?
No, I have never been to art classes, except for the compulsory ones in school. The only "art class" I go to is the Internet. Yay for web-tutorials and friendly artists!

8. Do you, currently, make profit out of art? If no, would you do so in the future?
No, I'm not and probably never will. Who on Earth would want my drawings up on their wall? (Or on any object, for that matter?)

9. Photography: Art or no?
Art. Please don't argue.

10. Literature: Art or no?
Art. Some poems and stories are just so wonderfully written, just like how some paintings are just so wonderfully painted.

11. Have you ever attempted to start a comic of your own? Or do you already have a comic of your own?
A webcomic, yes. Hahaha... I've left it dead for a while now... Maybe I should update... yeah... It's about time we get to the drama... >_>

12. At what age did you first develop an interest in art?
9 years old. Now that I look back, the drawings were horrible. I still keep them, though. I wonder why...

13. Are you good at designing posters?
No, I don't think I am. I'd need plenty of opinions beforehand.

14. Do you procrastinate?
Yes. Stop asking this. We all do, even in the smallest amounts.

15. Do you enjoy meeting new artists in real life?
Oh my, yes. Yes, I do!

16. Do you smoke or drink?
No and no. Smoking and drinking results in a horrible smell and horrible health.

17. Glasses?
Yeah.

18. Do you like anime and/or manga?
Sure.

19. Do you like Marvel?
Sure.

20. Is there a particular art style that you dislike?
Nope.

21. Were they any video games that you grew up with?
I grew up with Pokemon. Pokemon Blue. That was my first one.

22. What is your birth date? (Include year)
September 29, 1993.

23. Would you like your significant other better if he/she could draw?
Huh? I don't care. It'd be nice, but I don't care much about that.

24. Do you have a special case just for your ink pens and/or drawing stationaries?
Yeah. It's red and is filled with ink pens. From two years ago.

25. What's your height?
153cm. Convert that yourself. What an odd question. O_o

26. Are there any people who you'd like to collaborate with?
Oh--oh, YES. Of COURSE! I'd LOVE to! Oh wow. I mean, I'd say who they are, but, ah, I don't want to. >_<

27. When was your latest artwork completed?
Two days ago, I think.

28. Are you different in real life than in the Internet?
Am I? I don't know. You tell me.

29. Do you have a family member who draws for a living?
No.

30. Finally. How far do you think you have gone, compared to the first time you ventured into drawing?
How far? Wow... I'd say really far. I mean, I started off pretty bad. Clueless. Hopeless. Did you know that I used the Dodge and Burn tool to shade and light? Wow. I'd say I've come pretty far, and I hope that I'll keep improving. I mean, there were times when I was told how much I suck at drawing(and, man, did it really HURT), but oh well. At least I try.

Now I shall tag 6 victims (and hoping that the tagged people will acknowledge this):

Arranged in no particular order. I was skimming through the watchlist.




And, if you're not tagged but found this tag interesting, then I tag you too.

So, uh, tag. You're it.





There's no one reading this, isn't there?

I didn't, actually. I just missed out on a lot of things.

Right. Hello. How are you?

Good?

Good.



I didn't even post anything after Kitty's match, and the champion was already announced!

Gah x_x

Right, so the champion is...

Well, who else? The very rabbit that Kitty fought!

won the tournament! (Kitty is proud to have fought Barrit. Though Kitty can't get out of bed anytime soon. Barrit is one tough bunny)

I suppose this is a little late, but thanks to all who voted. Thanks to you all who are either from Sedaya (Hi Christian and... friends!), from Sri KDU, from DrunkDuck, from the orchestra, from my family, or, last but not least, deviants.

ESPECIALLY you deviants.

Because you certainly can't vote without becoming a deviant! (... Okay, sorry. That was lame. It wasn't even funny)


I guess I had a little fun along the way. Though I'm not entering the next tournament, perhaps Kitty will make his comeback one day. Right now, school is too overwhelming.

But you were probably sick of me rambling about asking for votes, so let's change subjects.



First, apologies. I didn't get back to your comments, watches, notes, and favs. I haven't been very active as of late.


Secondly, meet my two friends, who I've met in "real life"!
A friend from the orchestra. The day we first met was the best day ever. XD
An awesome artist who I met at a deco-team meeting. I've seen her drawing folder. They are AWESOME.





Anyway.

Lately, I've been thinking about me and deviantART... the past, future, and present.

I mean, look at the date I joined dA. November 2004. 2004! And that's when the layout was still dull and gray. The submission form was plain, and the polls weren't where they are now. The "Mood" thing in commentaries didn't even exist! @_@

Innocent days. I was young, stupid, and 11. Thinking that I could write some stuff. After that, though, I started to draw. My dad bought a scanner. I'm still using the same scanner today. (It's starting to make strange sounds, though)


I can only guess the number of people I blinded with my drawings back then. Heck, I coloured with Paint! MS Paint! Then my uncle introduced me to Gimp. It was Gimp 2.2. And it took me a few years to realize that there is already a version 2.6 of Gimp. What about Adobe Photoshop? I never got my hands on it until a few years later, and by that time I was already too used to Gimp. Still am.

Anyway, then this deviation came along. That's when I started using Inkscape to fulfill my inking needs.

And these were the past.


Then I start thinking whether I'd still be using dA in the future. Will I stay in this old account? Will I drop the pencil, never to return?


I don't know.

Especially with school getting much more serious and I have a couple of years left before I leave school. ESPECIALLY with the most important national exam taking place next year.

I'm still drawing though. So that's a good start. I think.



Now, why the hell did I just ramble about that?



I don't know.





I'm just bored, I guess.



Or maybe it's because of that tag thing my friend showed me. It was a bunch of questions made for artists to tag other people with. Maybe I'll tag some of you here as well. Hahaha. But that shall be done in a future post. This one is long enough.



Ta.
