Sketch Update


Well, I'll post the sketches I've done so far, along with my thoughts on them :)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Title: Nekoneko

(Sort of) Commissioned by Jie Hau for Melissa, he asked me to draw a "meowmeow" for "melmels", and since I love cats, I complied :)



Title: Chaste Kiss
Just an instant in time I wanted to draw, one of my earlier drawings. I had no confidence in drawing eyes then (now too come to think of it). This picture gives me warm-happy feelings when I look at it.



Title: Praise

My most "complete" sketch to date, I wanted to draw something themed "Praise", but got stuck. Then I got hit by the thought that "nothing screams PRAISE more than a rocker-girl on a bass guitar hahas... I had lots of fun designing her outfit and guitar. But my hair and shading could use lots of work though.



Title: Kakashi

Just a sketch commissioned for Benedict's birthday, he likes Kakashi from Naruto™. It's deceptively easy to draw



Title: Awaken
I wanted to draw a girl waking up from sleeping on her desk, not really well done, but I had good practice on drawing eyes.



Title: As You Turn Away
Just a memory, nothing to go crazy about.



Title: Twintails
My first attempt in drawing a character with eyes, definitely not one of my best work, but it's an important milestone to me:)



Title: Horror
A girl bloodstained with her own blood, isn't that just romantic in a macabre way? I had great fun drawing this:)



Title: Grace Like Rain
"Open the floodgates of Heaven. Let it rain. Let it rain." Those were the song lyrics that inspired me to draw this.

Sick With a Dash of Happiness



ACK!!! Food poisoning!!! Could things get any worse? Well thanks to the MC I got, I guess it's a good excuse to finally update my blog Ʃ:3 (this Ʃ:3 is a cat smiley by the way hahas)




Well... I've been really hard at work brushing up my art skills in drawing anime sketches, and I'm all for posting them on my blog, but with one minor problem, my scanner's resolution is not up to par and my camera lost it's USB cable.




Hmm... well, I'm sure I'll think of some alternatives soon, but for now, let me show some of the scans that DID turn out ok Ʃ:3

Flowery Image


Yoz, it's been awhile but I finally got round to using my computer again:) hahas... I did mention that I'll be posting something surprising this time around. It took me awhile but I finally managed to get a hold of the pictures I needed.

Well we had a baptism in church recently, and usually we buy a bouquet of flowers for those getting baptised. In this instance, one of the smaller flowers on one of the bouquets fell out. Not wanting to throw it away, Wei Xiong put it on my head just to see the effect.







Not bad eh? Hahas, amazing what a flower can do to someone's image. The following one is a candid shot taken by Hui Wen in KAP Mac. (Well I spotted her trying to take it, hence my eyes looking at the camera.


And finally, a last one of me striking a girlish pose before I left for home hahas... Attracted many second looks on the bus hahas!!!





Well that's that hahas... I recieved many compliments from people about this, such as, "It takes a real man, confident enough in his masculinity to pull a stunt like this." and, "好man喔!"

Hahas... maybe they were being sarcastic come to think of it, but all in all a fun day :)

Duty Barrage Finally Over!!!


Been on duty for 5 weeks straight, pretty crazy I know, some had a bad case of foot rot and I had to cover his duty on top of my own. And when I thought I was done, someone drove his car into a pillar and got himself banned from driving. So I had to cover his weekend duties too. So I haven't been home in a loooooong loooooooong while.

Well but it's back to camp tomorrow and lots more work to do :( hmm... I think I'm finally using my time properly now. Been in a slump for quite awhile, but on the plus side, I got the inspiration to do some uncharacteristic things like baking a cake or learning how to play the guitar. Hahas... I was just a phase, but I guess it's great that some good did come out of it.

Just started on Dissidia 012 and my fingers hurt :( I guess that's what I get for spamming the PSP 18 hours a day for a week hahas... I think I'll do something surprising for my next post :)

汝星


汝星

合拍的 两人的脚步声
与远方逐渐传来的 冬之音重叠


并肩得美丽的 两个人影
春天相遇的你 稍微长高了一些


共享相同当下的我们却梦见了不同的明天
「这样也无所谓」微微笑着
你的笑容看起来却太难过


几乎像是自豪般的 什么都做不到
想要待在你身边 只能如此希望


即使一切 都消失不见了
我们此刻找到的事物
永远在此地
不断闪闪发光


相触的指稍 流入的温度
与你合而为一 唯一的瞬间


熟悉的街道 始终不变的我
被放置遗忘于 流逝而去的季节之中


我们在分离的世界 假装着相互理解
直到能伸手碰触到那颗星星的日子到来之前
还需要堆叠多少思念呢


几乎像要满溢而出般地 爱着你
向黎明前刻的星星们 深深祈愿


纵使一切 终将消失而去
残留到最后 唯一的
微弱光芒
是我们所找到的答案

Weird Dreams




Been having weird dreams recently, dreams that somehow always end up with me getting killed.

There's one where I was chased through a forest, I was running for several hours when I reached a rock wall. With no where to run I tried to climb it, I was nearly to the top when my strength gave out and I fell down to the earth, probably with my head squashed.

There's another where I saw the faces of my friends around me, we were all captured and held hostage. We were told that if we would sacrifice one of us they would let the rest go. I was betrayed when the rest volunteered me, but strangely I didn't feel afraid or angry. I looked at my friends and smiled as a knife cut my throat. Though I died, I felt peace knowing that my friends could escape.

There's this dream where I was forced to fight in a war, as a soldier I charged enemy lines with my M-16 rifle with my squad. We were following our commander when he got shot in the head by the enemy, in the confusion we were killed one by one and eventually, I died too.

Not sure what all these mean, but I bet it has something to do with what I'm reading now hahas... probably should cut down on war stories, or at least sleep a little earlier :P

I Wanna Be Your World


Title: I Wanna Be Your World

Someday I will tell you,
Do you remember this little wish?
Outside my broken memories,
It feels like a dream I can't wake up from.

I look at what lies before your eyes.
I never seem to understand it but,
What's your outlook on the world?
Are you aware that,
I wanna be your world.
(I wanna be your world)

My feelings want to reach you,
But they are interrupted by a cold wall.
I fear that it's something that can't be changed.
This scenery melts down.

The moonlight shines upon you,
An unbreakable light, just like your shadow.
I always said, "I can't get close to you!"
My tears fade away,
I wanna be your world.
(I wanna be your world)

This distance between you and me doesn't make sense,
This far, far sky is collapsing.
I see the stars falling from it,
And your figure disappearing too.

Just a little more to pierce through this glass wall,
I reach out my hand to touch you.
A rain of stardust falls upon us,
And it becomes one
(I wanna be your world)

I look at what lies before your eyes.
I never seem to understand it but,
What's your outlook on the world?
Are you aware that,
I wanna be your world.
(I wanna be your world)
