:D Must see Artworks!!

HALLO, PEOPLE!!! (Man, I'm hyper today =D. GOODIE!)

Yezzie back in the house. (grins) I'm very hyper today (I think it must be the 7UP soda I drank at the school. LOL! Lame reason, I know. But it's true!!!)

Sports Days just passed by on Saturday. It was... cool. I got second place in the 400 meter relay. Seriously, my stamina has whithered. I couldn't run anymore at the last 100 meters from the Finish Line. And after I finished running, I couldn't stand any longer.

And the worst and unexpected news was... Ain (my friend) fainted during marching.

Not long time ago, I was inspired to write another story called Twin's Curse. Again, this is a suspense-drama-agonizing story. I won't be giving any sneak peeks or anything because I'm still thinking of the details. I think I'm gonna make the characters die in the story (grins) *Evil Authoress*

I'm gonna feature some outstanding art works from deviantART.com that you must see. (Tengok! Jangan tak tengok!)

These are from a female Canadian artist. Her deviant name is "Kaze-Hime". (Sorry if the pictures are too small. No space. =P)


The tools she used to make these beautiful pictures are from Adobe Photoshop CS2 and CS3. Seriously, I wished I had those kind of tools but they're only suitable to be used when you have a tablet. Coloring through using Photoshops are hard. But it's better than Traditional Tools (e.g. color pencils, markers etc.)

The next one is from shilin. The pictures below are based from her manga Blackbird >>> Click here to read her manga.



Wow, those are such stunning pictures. (Envious) Shilin also uses Adobe Photoshop CS2 and CS3 to color her pictures. They were done easily because she has a tablet. (Not a medical tablet that you swallow. A tablet as in a computer that is like "paper and pen" =.=)

Moving on, this time: Traditional Art!! The pictures below are from AiKo-FrikKi. She uses traditional tools which are prisma color pencils, faber-castell color pencils and caran d'ache color pencils/pens.



Man, I wish I was talented as her. T^T. Let's move on shall we? I love this person's work. Quite nice and wonderful. Almost flawless. (Gawks in awe) The owner of the art pictures are by Nefis. Her art was featured in my previous post called "Spring's coming soon".


The tools she used are mostly color pencils or Adobe Photoshop CS2 and CS3. No, I don't think she uses a tablet to color some of her pictures. That means she had to go through a lot of trouble to do the digital lineart and all those details. WOW!

I noticed that I'm filling this post with girl's work. LOL! Time for the boy's turn. Let's start off with this guy. All his work are made by color pencils.

Next in line is from this guy. Well, he calls himself 'pyromaniac'. I don't know why. =.=... His real name is Maximiliano Cabrera. His works are also made of color pencils only. Many people think he uses Photoshop but unfortunately, no. He doesn't use it


That's all I have for this post. Hopefully, I'll be able to find more stunning "must-see" artworks. (Cricks my neck) Man, I was solid and stiff the whole time. (Cricks my knuckles) Gotta go, people.

P.S: The pictures that you see in this post are NOT mine. The original owners of the pictures are listed carefully. All rights are reserved to the owners. Do not steal/claim these works as your own unless you have proof.

Sneak Peek

Hello, people! Sorry, I haven't been updating for the last 2 weeks. >.<>

I'm writing a story called Cold as Ice. No, it's not a published book or anything, just some story I'm willing to update in FictionPress.com. And because of my hyper mood, my blog readers have the chance to take a peek of my up-coming story.

Well, I might be printing the papers out and give them to my class monitor, Marcus (Who is dying to read it). Well, I wouldn't say it's romantic since Marcus might get grossed out if he reads the lovey-dovey parts. (Snickers) I'll make it a suspense/supernatural genre. Goodie! (Claps)

Here! Have a sneak peek in the first chapter!

Spaghetti hung from the tip of my mouth, my eyeballs felt as if they have popped out of my eye sockets and my mind completely shut down. I hope I don't sound like a moronic idiot or anything but did I hear the words correctly pronounced? Oh God, help me.

In front of me was my smirking mother who seemed pleased of my silly reaction. A strange feeling loomed over her as she slowly shifted forward towards me. I did not move at all but I did dropped my fork. Okay, I admit... I do look like a lunatic.

"Why are you so shocked, dear?" She asked in a sickening sweet tone. I twitched.

Finally, my senses functioned properly. I spat the spaghetti back on the plate, creating a huge puddle of spit on my plate. My mother glared at it in disgust. This is one of the reasons why she hates me being "not-so-ladylike". Remembering what I am suppose to say, I retorted.

"How can I not be shocked, mom?!" I exclaimed. I added, "You're sending me away to--" Rudely, she cut me off and continued my sentence. How rude...

"The prestigious Lockwood Academy," She emphasized the name as I shuddered.

"B-But mom! I don't want to go to that academy! I love being here! This is where I'm suppose to be!" Wow, how dramatic can I be?

"You're going to that Academy no matter what! Even if that means I have to cut off your allowances!" Her eyes beamed devilishly. I sighed in defeat. Why does my mother always know how to threaten me?!! I sometimes wonder if she is really my mother.

Pushing the thought away, I asked her. "Why are you sending me to Lockwood Academy?" I asked, ready to bang the table but I know it will only make my mother burst into a beast. Aiya...

"Because I want you to find a proper boyfriend!" She clarified. Oh please, not the boyfriend stuff again. If you don't know what my mother is talking about, what's she trying to say it 'I want you to have a real boyfriend!' For the last few years of my life, I've been dumped. A lot.

I don't know how long. Maybe... ten times, I guess? Yeah, yeah... It sounds weird. Being dumped for ten consecutive times. Oh, the joy! But I was used to the dumping thing and I don't usually get my heartbroken. I hate being vulnerable.

Rolling my eyes, I protested again. "Mom, I am not gonna chase anymore boys! I swear!"

"Nope. You're going to the academy no matter what." My mother clarified again. I feel suicidal now. Not good!

"Just for one reason?!" Well, I blurted that out unexpectedly. Shoot....

She looked at me with her green emerald eyes. "I'm sending you there for two reasons. One, find a proper boyfriend. Two, I want you to--"

Before she could finish her sentence, my breath escaped my lips. My breath was unusually cold and smoky. Feeling fear overtaking my mind, I immediately dived underneath the table with my mother. In a split-second, we both heard screeching sounds. I turned to my mother who had a depressed look on her face.

"Stupid vampires..." She cursed under her breath as she pulled out something from her pocket. It was a gun. Okay, I can see why my mother is sending me to the academy. She's trying to keep away from the dangerous vampires that visited us every night.

Loading her gun with her golden bullets, she clicked the hammer and was ready for action. I pulled out my gun as well from my pocket and clicked the hammer. Good, the bullets are loaded. We crawled out of the table and leaned against each other's back, clutching on our guns.

"As you see, this is why I want you to go there!"

Black smoke erupted from the red carpet beneath our feet. More black smoke clouded around us. Immediately, we began shooting as dark figures emerged from the smoke.

Bang!

I heard my mom shot the vampire who approached her first. I crouched down to avoid the talons of the female vampire's hand and shot her stomach three times. She screeched in pain as her figure turned into ashes. My mom shot the next two vampire who approached her threateningly. Their figures soon turned into ashes.

Okay, I have a really huge secret to tell you--Eeek!

Crouching down to avoid the vampire's long pale sword, I elbowed the vampire in the stomach before pointing my gun to the vampire's forehead and pulled the trigger.

Bang!

The vampire screeched in pain as the figure turned into smoke. Jumping backwards, a female vampire attacked me with her impossibly long talons. Her growl was icy and hollow. Aiming the bullets to her forehead, I pulled the trigger... sending bullets flying to her forehead. She cried and twitched pain as her whole figure submitted to gravity and turn into ashes.

As you can see, I am a vampire slayer. An infamous vampire slayer who is hailed by the name Charlotte Blackstone.

Well, how was it? But that's only just the beginning. Sorry to say but the sneak peek you read just now might be tweaked in the near-future into a more suspenseful situation. Keep a sharp eye to know when the story will be fully published in FictionPress.com

(Grins) Sayonara! =D

Things in Life

Hi again, people. I'm here again with this post. Okay, ahem... Let's get to the point, shall we?

I borrowed 'My Kampung' CD from one of my former classmate, Aziatul since she is the only who has the CD. I watched MK and I totally regret for joining the act because of my kain, a long skirt that I was forced to wear. It ended up slipping a bit but good thing the teacher called me out of the stage to fix my skirt.

Then, I joined back the stage and I must say, I look like a complete idiot while dancing. Not because the skirt was slipping again, but because of the way I had to dance. Mr. Hadzir, the manager and teacher of the play, forced us to follow each of the scene's dance. I obliged.

Enough of that, I'm currently at my mother's office. Eating Tiger biscuits while typing this post... I finished 10% of a drawing that I'm doing. I was supposed to do portraits of each main character of JOS (New title: TFOR) but I decided to turn them into MapleStory characters (An online RPG game that 98.8% all Singaporeans play it)

I'm currently doing Awai Aigyou's portraits. I noticed that there are mistakes on the anatomy but too late, I have already inked it at the very last minute when I outlined the blue calaf she is wearing.

(Sighs) Holidays are in today people. Let's talk about what happened yesterday.

---

Yesterday, I went out on an outing with four of my classmates: Min Li, Marcus, Howe Wee amd Hongrui.

First, me and Min Li came to McDonalds... being the first ones to come. I had to call Marcus since he was the person who arranged the outing. We found them at 7Eleven with Howe Wee, drinking Slurpees. Following them back to McDonalds, Marcus won't stop blabbering about himself being a so-called cool pro, which infuriates Min Li.

At exact 12 PM, we entered back into McDonalds and ordered our food. Then, we sat at the upper floor and began talking about school and some of our friends. I revealed to Marcus that my friend, Sandy, likes him. He was shocked at first but began accepting it. I could tell that Marcus also likes Sandy, since it's TOO obvious. (Giggles)

We had to wait for an hour for Hongrui to arrive to McDonalds since Marcus accidentally told him that we was supposed to meet us at McD at 1 PM. While waiting, we began talking about where to go in a famous shopping complex called One Utama. As soon as we walked out McD (to leave), we saw Hongrui.

Then, we ate some candy while Marcus calls his mother to send us to One Utama. At first, the situation was kinda awkward but funny in the end because Marcus' mother worries about him too much that we nearly called him 'Momma's boy'. LOL.

We all decided to go back at 3:30 PM while Hongrui decides to go at 3 PM since Marcus' mother told Hongrui's mother that he'll pick him up at 3 PM. We walked around, bought some cool stuff. Marcus and Howe Wee (known as MapleStory freaks) bought six A-cash cards (which cost RM24 a card)

Later, we walked around through different shops before finally eating at a Thai restaurant. I ate some fried fish sticks (I don't know what do they call it, but it was goood.......) with Min Li while Marcus, Hongrui and Howe Wee ate some soup, which I don't know what they call it.

At a gift store, Hongrui called his mother and told her that the four of us will go home because it was almost 3:30 PM. We went back to the Old Wing and waited at the taxi stop. We had to leave Hongrui behind because Marcus' grandfather arrived to fetch us. We said our goodbyes before getting into his car.

After dropping us at my house, Min Li wanted to play Maple Story so I let. We played until 5 PM, I guess because I wasn't keeping on track. I accompanied Min Li back to her house since she just live 25 blocks away from mine so it's quite near.

It's 10:45 AM. I'm suppose to get ready to school! But too lazy. And I'm also suppose to go to my former school to buy the CD My Kampung and Umbrella (Two different dances I did during 2007) Man, I missed everyone who I danced with in My Kampung and Umbrella. (Weeeekkkkkkkkk! ;-(
