as Liz Lemon would say:

"BLERG."

Liz Lemon

I can't believe I haven't posted this one here before - I must have forgotten! This one is making its round in Tumblr like mad - I'm guessing there's a lot of Tina Fey/ 30 Rock fans out there :)

Anyways, classic Lemon!

Trying

...to draw with the pen tool. Just learned something new from a friend yesterday, which is something everyone probably know except me! Ah well. You learn something new everyday.

Durrrrr

Some dude. Was trying to draw Steve Buscemi but failed spectacularly HA!

Dancer

Quick sketch of a Malay dancer! Trying to keep awake now argh

Tree of Dreams

I don't know when I'll be colouring this... huk huk... T___T

This is a pretty dinky product of my extreme boredom (my level of boredom is like super boredom beyond the realm of usual boredom magnified by 100). I sometimes dream of octopus, they're fun. The other night I dream of a chicken that walked after it was cooked - that was freaky. Anyways the heart (if you can see it, cuddled by the octopus' tentacles) symbolized the idea that I can't live without dreams and fantasy. It's the thing that fuels me day by day, that things can be beyond what they are.

Ok, it's Friday! Woot! Happy weekend :)

Cat Cat

A sketch I did in San Diego 2009, coloured in Photoshop. Obviously I had furry felines on my mind..

I wish...

I do, I really, really do..

Airport Peeps

Bunch of peeps at the airports. Clockwise from top left: 2 very tall European (I presume) ladies with starkly similar style (both had their hair in tight buns, dangly earrings and long flowy outfits with a colour theme and small jackets), wild haired backpacker who walked very very fast, snappy dresser with hat who also caught the eyes of the two European ladies, creepy dude wearing low cut cardi, policewoman, brown outfit European lady. I didn't colour their bags because I forgot the colour.

Girl on Swing

She didn't have feet because I miscalculated the space on which I drew this on ^^;

AAh nearly December and I don't have anything for YongumiX yet... yikes!

Fish Boy & Octogirl, among other things

Girls and a Tree

Some pretty darn late updates! Yeah I know I should be updating far more frequently than what I'm doing now but again, work caught up yargh. But I'm up to 83 posts for this year and there's still December and I have lots more unscanned stuff in the sketchbook so I'm catching up!

2012 in a Nutshell (SPOILER ALERT!)

I kid you not, this is how the story ends. Apparently while the rest of the world sunk, the African continent is pushed up way above sea level and is the only remaining habitable piece of land. Arks filled with people who paid billions of euros to be in it (meaning: super rich, super snotty and super bossy entitled people) are last seen congregating together and are headed to this last sanctuary on earth.

How I would like the movie to end: Arks arriving ominously on African shores, while a lone person runs towards the land dwellers, yelling "RUN!!! RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!!! HUNDRED OF YEARS AGO THEY TOOK YOUR PEOPLE AND NOW THEY'RE HERE FOR YOUR LAAAAAND!!!!"

You should totally watch it. The visual effects is pretty darn good, actually, and the action sequence is quite gripping and tense-inducing in a sitting-on-the-edge-of-your-seat kinda way. I just find the storyline a bit creepy.

Sorry for the sparse update lately - again, I've been sketching lots in the sketchbook so will scan and update soon!

Sunset

Quickie done during lunchtime! Just to test out some colour schemes. Done in Photoshop, around 45 mins. It's still kinda dinky but I tried so shaddap! LOL.

I did this with a childhood place in mind: Tanjung Lobang, Miri. My family and I used to stay in the teachers' quarters within a school compound that was situated on top of a cliff overlooking the sea. There's a spot that my brothers and I used to go to in the evenings to play and watch the sunset - it was absolutely beautiful. There was a beach that you can go down to through a path on the side of the cliff, it was like a secret place that belonged only to us. Being there at that time ...those are some of the happiest moments in my life.

Fast forward ten plus years, the spot now has been taken over by a hotel, and the lovely beach below the cliff is covered in concrete embankment. Our lovely sunset spot is gone, blocked by towering hotel building.

You can't stand in the way of progress they say - but I do believe in that line from the movie Miss Potter: "Sometimes beauty is worth preserving."
