Ao Haru Ride


Mad HAPPY when I saw this anime on the list of new anime released! Been reading this manga and fell in love with it right away. So definitely am gonna watch the anime too! You guys should check this manga out if you happen to love reading shoujo manga! Romance genre! *winks*

The story revolves around Futaba Yoshioka and Tanaka Ko who likes each other. But due to some misunderstanding, the relationship kinda ended as the guys transfer school. (Epic timing!) Apparently 3 years later they meet again and that's how their love adventure begins!

The logo...obviously

3 years ago

3 years later

Since I didn't take any nice screenshot of them...

(Left) Futaba Yoshioka (Right) Tanaka Ko a.k.a Mabuchi Ko

Seriously I'm really happy with the art. Both anime and manga. It's good! Not to mention that my beloved HoneyWorks contributes for the opening song. The insert song during the "confession" scene and the ending song itself are good too! What more can you ask for?

Yes...the insert song for this scene is lovely!

Other than the storyline, art and songs, I also love the voice of Tanaka Ko! To which I found out that the seiyuu was Yuuki Kaji. The same seiyuu who voiced for Noragami's Yukine, Final Fantasy XIII's Hope, Diabolik Lovers' Kanato and more! For more chara he have voiced, click HERE!

Although it seems like he voiced quite alot clingy, mama boys type of chara, I am really liking his voice in Ao Hara Ride! I just love that deep low voice of his. Especially when he said "baka" to Futaba. Sweet! HAHAHA...it's perfect! Definitely gonna keep an ear on his voice and add him to the list of my fav seiyuus!

FAV GESTURE

3 years ago

3 years later

I also love this gesture of his in the anime. Somehow it's sweet to see him to be still doing something that he used to do. It almost feel like the old him was here but wasn't. You'll understand as you watch the anime or read the manga. Seriously this anime managed to make my heart race...*coughs

Trailer 1

Trailer 2

Trailer 3

Am really hoping that you guys will give this anime and manga a try. It's one of Sakisaka Io's sensei best work I've read. Do buy the ori DVD or manga when it's available in your country. If there's none then you can read the manga HERE.

Seriously I'm looking forward for epi 2 and so on! Other than that I still have Hunter x Hunter, Sword Art Online 2, Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun, Akame Ga Kill, Sailor Moon Crystal, FREE! Eternal Summer, One Piece, Naruto Shippuuden, Glass Slip, Soredemo Sekai Wa Utsukushii and Fairy Tail to follow. Kinda sad that No Game No Life has ended...Hopefully there's a second season. *fingers crossed

Songs I Recently Found and Like


Sharing this awesome song which I found by chance. Was watching a vid which leads to another vid and it features this song called "Drenched" by Wanting Qu. Loved it and eventually I tried listening to her other songs. From there I found another 2 songs which I like..."Jars of Love" and "You Exist in My Song".

Personally I think "Drenched" is sweet! Heard it from a proposal vid and I like it. As for "Jars of Love", I really like the lyric. It kinda strikes me at the heart...LOL! The music is fun too ok! Last but not least we come to the last song, "You Exist in My Song". The most emotional one! Definitely a good song worth listening too!

And oh...I think someone sang this song when Jas, Yao, Sugi and I went to karaoke in Jakarta. Was it Jas and Sugi? Hahaha...Can't really remember. Or perhaps my memory is super fragmented...(Some even points out that I've been asking the same questions for a few times already but can't remember. Ugh...someone kind please feed me gingko! Hurr!! Honestly I remember images better than words let me defend myself a lil bit...so yeah...even this song I think the vid looks familiar...that's why...hopefully I'm right...If not, PLEASE FEED ME GINGKO!! HAHAHA...*lame mode)

Drenched

Jars of Love

You Exist in My Song

To close this post I'm gonna post a sneak peak on the vid I took back on 9th June! (This time date is correct...coz I cheat see the date! *merasa begitu bijak). Since I talked about them singing so might as well post a lil something about it right!

Please welcome Jas & Sugi's voice! Plus a lil bit appearance of Yao...if you got super good pair of eyes or miracle eyes! Only voice and a lil bit of the touch screen can be seen. blame the room too dark
Blame me lazy to turn on the light...*slapped

Enjoy their 50 secs of singing!

Jas and Sugi singing I-dunno-what-song

Happy June!


It's 5 days already...since both Jas n Yao had left to KL. Am grateful, happy and excited for them to be actually flying all the way from SG and KL to see me Jakarta. TROLOLOL! (Which huh?? XD)

So good to see them again after a long long time not seeing this two faces...Even greater to have them on my birthday (Gosh! Much closer to the big 3! Face please stay young ok!). Wasn't really the type who celebrate...so I don't give much thought on celebrating for self (On a side note, I mad enjoy celebrating for others!). For all my due respect, forgive me for my "wood" expression coz I don't know how to react well to singing and "surprises". HAHAHA!

So apparently they had ppl from the restaurant to sing this year! Reminds me of the year 2009 where Yeen them had the singer at Wings Cafe to sing Happy Birthday song right after I'm out of the bathroom...TROLOLOL! How can you guys be such a romantic!?? *coughs

Not to forget that frozen strawberry cheesecake ice cream which they bought for me this year! It's MAD hard to chop! Yet it's easy to "korek" using fork...hmm!

Thank God for sending them to me as I walk the great "17"! Thank you...thank you...thank you to u both too for coming though I am aware most of le friends prefers going somewhere else instead of Jakarta...Huff!! Sorry for being a noob host too! I'll learn from my failure...//slapped.

Yao, Me, Jas

All the goodness and happiness be fall onto you both!

Crazy


Posting a vid here! Finally I found the singer and the title! Wouldn't want to spam my FB timeline so much. So here it is...hope you enjoy this too~


Anyway, time flies real fast today. Spent my whole day of labour day at home slacking off. Mostly watching animes and few episodes of Running Man. Life's a bliss!

Hello the month of May...please be awesome the entire month!

Soredemo Sekai wa Utsukushii


Yesterday I was bored and too tired to watch long duration videos like Running Man. And so I checked on the anime list I had but haven't watch. Came across this interesting anime called "Soredemo Sekai wa Utsukushii" (それでも世界は美しい Still The World is Beautiful).

Hooked right off and I ended up watching the whole 4 episodes! (Which ended at 2 in the morning! HAHAHA! Epi 4 is the latest so far...) This is highly recommended to everyone who loves adventure, shoujo genre, "magic" (ability to call the rain is magic, yes?), romance, shota boys, fantasy and comedy (you'll see why I call this anime a comedy. Lots of cutesy images ok!).

So yesh...this anime started off with the main chara, Nike (Rain Kingdom 4th princess) traveled to Sun Kingdom to marry King Livius (I love the name!). Midway of the first episode they'll show how the Sun Kingdom requested Rain Kingdom to marry off one of the princess for the country to remain autonomous. The typical life of a princess you'll see in many movies...marry off somewhere in order for their country not be taken or something liddat.

When the four daughters heard about the marriage
(2nd princess - 4th princess - 3rd princess - 1st princess)

Basically all four decided to do jan-ken-pon (rock, scissor and paper) to decide who get chosen to marry the Sun Kingdom's king. And of course as expected our main female lead got chosen as she lose on the jan ken pon game!

The winner happy face...hahaha

Cut the scenes here and there (to make sure I didn't spoil too much of the story), our main female lead has this "magical" power to call upon the rain. This power is used twice till epi 4. You can expect to see her singing to summon the rain! No chanting but singing! Hell yeah! We'll see if she can summon other than rain or not...

Come, Tender rain~~

To my surprise, the king she is getting married to is a lil boy! HA! At first I was expecting guy in their teenage years...Say 18? It seems like I was way off since it was way younger than my expectation. Hahaha. But nevermind! He reminds me much of Kuroshitsuji's Ciel Phantomhive! Looking at how at their young age are blessed with the capabilities to ran the family "business". Not to forget that cold exterior they have that's like a tsundere character...LOLOLOL!

Ciel Phantomhive from Kuroshitsuji

Whoa...whoa...whoa...our lil boy here can kissu!! HA!

Definitely this Sun Kingdom's King Livius is the 2nd shota character which able to break my barrier of saying no to shota characters. The first is of course Ciel! Japan seriously have the power to make any characters favourable to the watchers! First they make me able to like ojisan (uncle) characters and now they make me to fall for shota boys!! Nao I feel like a full fledged pedobear!

How I love this kind of scene

Cuteness overload

Again this kind of look

And of course the exaggerated expression is top notch! 


The Butler (?) Neil

When I first heard Neil talking, I was haunted by dejavu. His voice is soooo familiar to which later I confirmed that the seiyuu is Tomokazu Sugita. The seiyuu of my beloved Gintama's Gin-san!!! Interesting...hahaha!

Do give this anime a try...and if you prefer manga more you can read them HERE! Go go go!!!

Zombie State + Misery


Sickness got worst on Saturday. Spent my weekend lazy-ing on the bed trying to sleep. Most of the time succeeded but it gets harder as the night comes in. When I got sick, I slept almost too early to be true. While I usually sleep around 12 or 1 in the morning, this time I slept earliest at 8 pm! That sick!

Oh? Have I mentioned that I did my laundry on Sunday morning and at 2 pm it rained heavily to which I didn't manage to get my dry clothes by the end of the day? Yes...I didn't...I ended up taking them the next day.


After much much debate with my brain and heart, I decided to take my leave on Monday coz everything still frail. Even my knee down below still wasn't strong to do 15-min walk to my office. To which later I am tempted by brother's advice on visiting doctor.

Sure enough the thought of getting healthy fast looked pretty good. Therefore I muster all the strength I have left with me to walk under the super bright and hot sun to a clinic just across my home. As it was my 1st time, I had to fill in my details and such. Lucky that there wasn't much people so the nurse direct me to the doctor's room immediately.

A lady above her 50's. "Ah...a woman". That's my first word I uttered to myself...LOL! Lie down on the bed, got stethoscope on my chest, got my blood pressured checked and voila...DONE!

So much free time for my mind to wander that I thought of a lame joke. Who can touch you here and there but u must be glad that they did and still they charge you for it? Doctor! Hahaha...(I think people at Spa who do massage oso fit this description. Wooh!)

Anyway I'm out of the doctor room and proceed to the pharmacist. There I give the folder containing the doctor's writing to the pharmacist. The shock comes shortly after that...


She gave me this cough medicine made by them (that's why no packaging) and antibiotic by the name of Sedrofen 500 Cefadroxil 500 mg and it costed me a huge amount of 380 bucks (300 for the med and 80 for the doctor consultation fee). I did not know if this was the normal rate in Indonesia as this is my first time going to a clinic here. (I did go to clinic and hospitals way back when I was way younger...but those were paid by my parents so I won't know the price) I think that the consultation fee sounds reasonable but the medicine was like expensive for me. Especially when price was almost 1/4 of my early salary. TROLOLOLOL~ So truly my face was something like this picture down below!


But of course I did't show them this face. Instead I asked calmly whether they accept debit card onot coz I didn't expect for all this to be above 200. Definitely not enough money as I only bought 200 bucks with me!

Put things short I paid for them and went back on my 2 feet to my home sweet home. That's where the 2nd agony starts kicking in though...

Nothing bad happened during my first intake of the medicine. But the second time in the evening I have that awful feeling of nausea. It's like wanting to vomit but nothing is coming out. So I waited beside the toilet bowl looking emptily at the bowl. Went back and forth to my room and the toilet coz I don't really know when it's going to burst out. The feeling is real unpleasant. Despite the fact that the amount of coughs have decreased greatly.


Shortness of breathe, nausea, extra nausea whenever I stand up from my sitiing position or when I move any from my body parts and can't focus very well on what I'm doing. Am working on my logo design for a client coz the client need it fast...that's why...(To my surprise came super early in the morning the next day and God is good that He let him approve my logo design! Thank you Lord~)


After moving back and forth to the toilet, I managed to do the deed by throwing up my dinner onto the toilet bowl. The process was tiring but the after feeling was great. It's like I've been lifted out from a curse. I felt so free! No more nausea feel and all genki~ But still I slept super early too that day.

The next day I returned to work and as I mentioned above I managed to settle the logo design. Everything was good. Till I took my med after lunch. Slight weak feel whenever I got up from my seating position. It feels like as if I will fall if someone were to push me slightly. A bit nausea but still bearable. No sign of short of breathe yet. 

Awful part begin after my med intake after dinner. Straight nausea in few minutes after consuming the medicines! There's how I began my back and forth journey to the toilet bowl over and over again...So much visit I can call it "Toilet Bowl Love Story".

Apparently that's how I suspected that my medicine have something to do with the nausea and vomitting. Since my cough med was brand-less (made by the pharmacist herself), I can't check them on Google. So instead I researched on my antibiotic and sure enough to find out that it has the side effect of nausea and vomitting in them. Knowing these made me shock coz I have to finish the antibiotic that's left like 5 more days of intake. That would be like 5 days full of feeling nausea and vomitting! To which I thought would be a disaster coz 2 days itself already so burdensome. It's making me so weak, lazy to talk to people (which isn't good coz my work require me to communicate to people too!) and waste my time coz I'd want to rest alot instead of doing this I usually do.

So Wednesday morning I returned to the clinic feeling hopeful to change my antibiotic to something less strong. Went back there and the first question they throw me already making me speechless.

Her: "Is this all you got?"
Me: "No."
Her: "Where's the other?"
Me: *speechless* "I've swallowed them??"
Her: *silents*

Aboden? Haven't try already dare to go to your place and complained that it gives me nausea and made me to vomit ar?? DUH! To this point I never blame them coz as far as I know you wouldn't know whether you're allergic to certain antibiotic or not untill you've tried them yourself. To which later if there's any allergic you were to keep in mind of the name of things you're allergic to. That's why when I casually talked bout allergy I didn't fight their words much. Listened to her blabbering about it thoroughly. Apparently if you found out that you're allergic to certain *insert scientific name here* you have to memorize them or write them on your hp and remind your doctor not to give you that the next time you visit your doctor. Agree with them though I slightly think that nobody would remember those scientific name unless the content is life threatening...I mean...those scientific names...it's not super easy to remember one ok! LOL...but again it's something worth learning if that something you're allergic with is torturing...so yes...remember it please...

My speechless moment x1000000 comes after this! Right when they came out with a diff antibiotic for me and I asked whether they can state me the side effect of the new med they're going to give me or not. Plus what's the diff between the old one and the new one. And guess what's their reply???

Her: "I'm sorry. It's a secret."


ARE YOU SERIOUSLY F*CKIN KIDDING ME????!! Did I just transport myself to a secret agent chamber or something? Or is my med have that "the-side-effects-who-must-not-be-told"? It's a SECRET worr!!! So secret then why do almost all med I took before in my life all have listed their side effects?? Are they secret breaker???

Seriously I kinda need a direction other than the repetitive information they keep uttering on how I must eat all the antibiotic till it's finished and how I must took them 3 times a day. My line of work requires me to be at the frontline, facing clients and use my brain and energy to make a design, etc. So it would be great to know whether my medicines have sleeping effect, nausea effect, blurred vision or whatever that would affect my work. By knowing then I can avoid taking them during working hours! When it comes to work then I would like to give my all to it. So it wouldn't be good to be taking med that will affect my performance and later on complained and put the blame on the med. Coz if I am not doing my best then it's best for me to stay home instead of doing my work half assed-ly!

Why is it a harm to tell side effects or the diff between med A and med B? Even the pharmacist I met at drugstore was much more of a help than the pharmacy I met in this clinic! The one in drugstore would tell me that med A can make you feel drowsy while med B won't. Which one do you prefer? So much politeness and just the right amount of info that I'd like to know. Does telling me this short fact harm your code of pharmacist? *sighs*

Me: "Mam, I'm not asking for the med's ingredients. I don't see why it would be a disadvantage for you?? I'm just asking for the side effects and the diff between the two med in general. Coz if you're going to tell me long story bout the scientific name and such also I wouldn't be able to understand, you see?"

Her: "I'm sorry, we all have undergoes certain oath of not telling out".

WAH!!! Now the oath word come out...what more can I say right? Win liao lor? Should I press further? No la. Better yet I go Google. You're not the only one who have the knowledge on the medicine. Why would I waste my precious salive during sick time for someone like you. =_="

Then she goes back repeating the yada yada not important stuff I would care less to waste my time staying any longer. So I raised my hand and said "That's enough...so I'll just have to finish my antibiotics. Took them 3 times a day after a meal, right? Then whatever side effects that were to come, I'll see it when it comes right? Ok. Thank you!" Walked to the door and there she goes repeating the same unnecessary empty sentences that I ended with the strict tone of "SIP" and left!

Seriously she left me dumbfounded...is there such thing as oath for those kind of information? Whatever it is I'm not continuing my med. I just don't eat med without knowing the details on what I'm swallowing. Plus I don't trust my pharmacist, how am I supposed to swallow all of them thinking that I'll get better? NAH!

Definitely not coming back. I'd find places who can answer me other than telling me to finish all my med and take them 3 times a day. =="

Living at Zombie State


Last night I OT-ied after a while no OT-ing. Wasn't that bad. Especially when the OT is accompanied by peoples. Not the kind of OT where you'll be the only person in the office. Pretty tired in a way coz I got sick the day before. Major headache through the job but somehow managed to finish it. Thank God for that power.

Sickness somehow attacked greatly once I reached my room. Pheww...Headache was twice the pain than when I'm in the office. So I was kinda torn between my sore throat med or headache med. Completely ignoring the fever med coz I think it was nothing compared to headache or sore throat. In the end I took the headache med coz the head is killing me. Took Panadol ActiFast. Honestly it's the only Panadol range that work with me. Guess my body is too "strong" that it's immune to weaker med like the normal Panadol. *sighs*

Thankfully the next day...which is today is a holiday. Good Friday holiday. Planned to go to Pasar Baru to buy fabric or Mangga Dua to hunt sewing materials the week before. But I guess it wasn't going as planned. Woke up this morning feeling worst. Below knee onward is weak. Head part is really really hot. Coughs like no other and nose is blocked. Hated myself to produce sound pollution. Plus can't really do much as my eye socket is hurt too.


At times like this, sure is nice to have mom here. I can spoil myself despite my age...trolololol. Been living alone many years tending myself during sickness...so it wasn't anything unusual. But still it would be nice to have someone to spoil you...right?

Anyway...kinda tempted to skip work tomorrow. Hope Boss no read this...haha But I guess that wouldn't be good huh? Currently worried on the logo design I've not start doing. Had my hands full on other works and did not have the time to think of the logo. Feel bad coz the client is nice. *sighs*

Hope that I'll recovered A.S.A.P!

Solving "Pending" While Installing Apps On Windows 8

As some of you might have already know, I'm currently still hanging onto my old Samsung Galaxy S1 which condition gets worst as day passes by. Problems like auto restart, hang, can't press anything, can't install certain new apps are a norm...hahaha.

So have been switching between iPad and my S1 to use LINE apps. The downside of it is that you can't log in on both. Have to give up one of them to use the apps. Kinda bothersome I'd say. Plus the fact that I don't really bring iPad everywhere with me. Mostly went out with my S1. Therefore if I have to use LINE on my iPad, I'd only be able to use the apps during night time. Troublesome huh?

Which is why I'm kinda excited to know that LINE's available on PC! Plus that you can access your account on your PC as well as your phones,etc without the need of erasing the account! Brilliant!

However things weren't that smooth for me as my Windows 8 can't happen to install them onto my lappie. "Pending" was all that I see no matter how many times I cancel and re-download. Fortunately I came across a solution to this "pending" problem while downloading apps for Windows 8.

You can read this lifesaver instruction HERE!

I've used it myself this morning and IT WORKS!! Instructions are clear and easy to follow even for a noob like me. Hope this will help you guys too! Have a nice day~

Nivea Sun Face Moisturising


Bought a new sunblock early this year on 26th of Jan! It's called Nivea Sun Moisturising Immediate Protection Face Cream SPF 50. (Goodness...Why name so long one???)

Been a while since I last use any sunblock cause honestly I'm someone who's too lazy to layer my face daily. But since I've got extra money been thinking for awhile about aging, I decided to invest on sunblock. With fingers crossed that I'll be able to discipline myself to apply the product routinely of course. Fortunately, so far so good. Except for holidays which most of the time I slack...

Front Packaging

Back Packaging

This is the part where they talk a little bit about the product, usage instructions as well as the ingredients used for this sunblock. Hmm...This product didn't mention if it's sunscreen or sunblock. But I decided to call it sunblock after reading THIS article. I mean, this product contain Titanium Dioxide which was mentioned in the article...So yes...Must be a sunblock. Tell me if I'm wrong since there's no doubt that I got zero knowledge on these things...haha.

For more details on how to use or the ingredients used, please click on the picture above. 

Front Tube

The main things that got me "seduced" to try this product would be the "Collagen Protect" as well as the "Immediate Sun Protection" words. Where do I read that again? About how collagen production start to decrease when we reach 25? Of course diff people got diff timing. Just like not everyone on certain age will definitely get their first wrinkle. More like a median I guess? So yeah...have been paying lots of attention on collagen lately. And yes I still haven't try collagen drinks too!

Compared to the competitors brand placed around this baby, they don't really mention about collagen...So yeah...this one is a plus point. Not to forget that this baby protects immediately upon application and there's no need to wait for 20 minutes. I think this is seriously tempting for someone who would want things to be done fast. Hohoho...

For everything else, I think there's not much different compared to the competitors brand...Effective protection against sunburn and premature skin? Normal. Water resistant? Normal. Quickly absorbed? Normal. SPF? Normal. You can read more on SPF, UVA, UVB and PA HERE!

Hmm...Oh wait...there's another good thing to mention! It has Vitamin E to help protecting the skin against free radicals. Though I don't really know what's that free radical is...but I've always loved Vitamin E...So yeah...You, too, is a plus point!

Back Tube

The cream texture


Spread nicely

The product mentioned that this sunblock is non-sticky, but I noticed that it does feel sticky upon application. Then it gradually disappears as time goes by. Apart from that, this sunblock oso whitens a lil bit. Not too much to the point you'll look like you're using foundation that's a looottt whiter than your actual skin tone. Moisturising part isn't that bad too! It helps a lil bit on reducing the visibility of skin flakes at times when my skin turns kind of dry. On a side note this sunblock have fragrance that is not much to my liking. (Strong floral? Err...I think I need someone pro in smelling to tell me how to describe this fragrance. LOL) Still bearable though. Considering the benefit given. No "pain" no gain huh?!

Bought this at Watson Mall Kelapa Gading 3 at the price of IDR 92.9k. Still affordable I think? Gonna try the other brand once this tube is finished. But definitely gonna put this on the "buy again" list if I can't happen to find anything better.

Wish Today Gonna End A Lil Faster!


I don't know why but a few months after purchasing my laptop, the screen start acting up! There's that random line that appear and POOF! GONE! and reappears anytime it like. Does this ever happen to you guys? After putting the warranty time into consideration, I decided to send my Toshiba to get repaired. Planned to turned him earlier than the month of January...But I was kinda reluctant as I'm still pretty much addicted on drawing. Postponed till the end of the year and I managed to convince myself that it's time. Therefore I send him away around 10-ish of January and I just got it back on Tuesday.

Around one month plus??? I can't believe how I survived this long without him. Ok la...I cheated as I used back my old Toshiba laptop. But it was only then that I remembered just how old my old Toshiba lappie is. Everything is so laggy. Yet praise the Lord that at least I still got a substitute lappie while waiting for my new lappie to be fully recovered.

Sad line on my screen!

Line reappeared while I was watching SnK

As it come and go as it pleased, I can't be sure yet whether it has completely repaired or not. Hopefully it's all good. So far it's not showing unwanted symptoms though!

Gonna blog again when I have things to write. Shall sleep soon as I have work tomorrow and nao the clock is showing 1:50 in the morning. Have a wonderful Thursday everyone!

Elie No.2


Dunno what's wrong with me...been having that art block for a few months. Was it two months? LOL! Out of a sudden everything I draw seems to be mad UGLY and not working.  Tried to overcome it by forcing myself to keep on drawing and still the result wasn't close to satisfactory. Maybe coz I'm emo so everything also become blurred...I think...

The doodles I drew during my art block
(Yep...that SnK's Mikasa beside the Starbucks cup...lol)

So after totally freed myself from drawing (I still draw random half-assed doodles along the way though...those so half-assed that it isn't worth mentioning), I decided it's time to try drawing again...Since it's new year, am having a week worth of holidays, with no plan on New Year Eve and all...LOLOLOLOL!

I did manage to come out with something...lol! It's Elie again! If you've been a friend of mine in FB then you should know who is Elie.. Hahaha...I'm going to post the old drawing of her later on for those who are not in my FB friend list.

Elie No.2
(Again this wasn't the real color...it's darker after uploading them! WHY??)

Yes! That's Elie No.2. Being my fav number, drawn on 2nd of January, the 2nd Elie I've drawn, here she is with her new "rainbow" hair I've always wanted to try coloring. As you can see it's supposed to be in rough sketch stage still...but due to my impatience, I straight went into coloring stage in which you can see that I colored her hair! Pretty satisfied with it! As I expected from No.2. You're my lucky number! Will try to finish it ASAP and upload it to DA before my holiday come to an end.

And so please welcome my ugly doodle of Elie No.1 which I did 30 May 2012. Unlike other's work I've seen, I guess I have the ugliest rough sketch ever. What I mean is...even when some artist mentioned that their rough sketch is ugly, it always turned out that their "ugly" rough sketch is those of a "perfect" rough sketch. It's like when you give a few of people to draw stick man, there would be one who came out with the perfect stick man. Erm...or something like drawing ugly creatures and they're able to come out with an awesome ugly creatures instead of something really ugly as in bad proportions and such...Maybe soemthing wrong yet wrong in an awesome way??? Hmm...Enough of blabbering coz I think I wasn't that good at explaining stuffs without showing any visuals. Am too lazy to look for visuals so yeah...let's drop that topic for nao...HOHOHOHO!

ROUGH SKETCH

Ugly sketch I drew on my "old resume" paper...LOL

RE-DRAW SKETCH & SCAN

This step is when the brain can vision what it'll be like and what colours should be use, etc

RE-SKETCH, ARTLINE & COLORING PROCESS

Applied the colours like what the brain has visioned...lol...I'm a magician!

OUTCOME

VOILA! IT'S DONE!

Ignore the crappy background coz in fact I should have focused on proportions, coloring and bla bla bla before I get to focus on improving backgrounds. //slapped

So basically that's the steps used to produce Elie. No 1. As for Elie No.2, it's all done digitally since I'm too lazy to draw on papers with the condition that I have right nao. Did I mention that my table is just around 60+ cm in width and 35+ cm in height. So you can roughly imagine how much space I have left with a 14" lappie placed on top of it. Plus my wifi and external hardisk...Still having a huge table as my dream but I guess it's impossible due to the restrictive space I have living in a small apartment...Bless me!

Oh...HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! //winks
