Pleased to announce!

The opening of Kat Corner!My personal E-store.Yes, I don't like Society6 and all because its too troublesome to me.So hop on over!Link at the side bar folks!

Also the return of something I have been working on :

Yeeeeeup.They are back with more to come later in May.First chapter is underway.First up is Dwayne's arc.Kinda pumped. Updates as tried will be 2 pages a week (hopefully) instead of 3.Let's hope the schedule works out :) website will be along a little later.So bear with me.

cheers!

it begins!

I'm alive guys!Still alive.Just really busy prepping for next week.So I'm starting work full time soon,hence I'm trying to get stuff done up.And I'm glad to say this- The first half of GENESIS is written and I am drawing now some prep stuff.Hopefully 3 pages a week over the weekends and my free time.Last I checked the first half summed up to 314 pages,hohoho.It won't be easy but I'm not complaining :)

This illustration will probably be my last one at least until my next update.Rest will be the usual coffee sketches and such.This will be up for sale too ;)

Last but not least- Have a good weekend folks!

Shove a finger up.

Because many things have happened lately that really got me going "wtf".Since last week I have been busy working at an event and just today a part-time job(which I am not going back to.And thats saying alot.)

During one of the days I heard this dude.This moronic sterotypical marketing gimmick dude who went so far to promote his company to say : " a big percentage of people have the talent but no opportunities but lets not think abou all those NAFA,Laselle design students there are people out there that deserve more opportunities like my friend here who is a freelance photographer but recently joined us full time and we have helped him achieve something to support his life and future."

Are you trying to say we design STUDENTS don't deserve a chance?Is that why so many people like you are giving excuses saying you welcome us but in turn say that we have ' not enough design experience '? Screw you.And I say this not for NAFA students.Not for Laselle students.BUT EVERY SINGAPOREAN ART STUDENT.And cue slow claps because you mister marketing gimmick, you have successfully pissed off 2 event companies with more experience than you and single freelancer on that very day with your 'speech' within a 1 mile radius.

But on the other hand I have a good news that I am soon to be working as a full time graphic designer.Which is awesome considering the severe lack of art jobs (especially for freshies) and they are giving my a chance to do something of my field of interest.Really had a good impression so far and hope it will be an awesome experience working for them.

For now I'll end here.7 hours of standing since 9am have been a toll on my poor legs that have hardly stood that long in a long time.Here are some sketches I have done during the event where I was trying my best not to fall asleep.

On a side note,the Kat Corner will be live soon so bear with me I swear it will be up by month end!

Heads up!

don't you love how chinchillas stone in the pet shop?They are like professional stoners that don't give a damn.And its a running joke between me and my bf whenever we go the Pet Lovers ( we love fluffy lil things heh ) we would just stare at the chins and go out come back and see them in the exact.Same.Position!Thats sooooo cool.

Work.

Almost done with client work.Almost.This is one of the samples I did a few weeks back.I actually would like this to be on a totebag 0.0 been thinking about making some shirts and stuff.But it really depends.But this is up for print too.Been a busy monday working on video editing and some work.I actually feel like getting on with trad works seeing how its been so long since I did any serious ones.We'll see.

by the way!I'm on Screensuit now too.Just trying out another site apart from DA.

go to : http://www.screensuit.com/noirbriar    ;3

In the meantime I shall dig through the depths of my mac to find some of my lost works.Damn harddrives.Just damn you.

Red Hues.

Took a break from client work and had a little time to myself this weekend.Times are trying but hopefully we become greater in our craft during this period of difficulties faced by our industry.

Probably going back to work part time starting late this week.So probably will draw some stuff or work on comic script if I'm still alive by the time my shift ends.It would do me some good to get out of house after such a long break.We'll see how it goes.Also taking the time to prepare the prints for the E-store (one of them will be this red piece as well as some promos I did for GENESIS that I managed to salvage from old thumbdrives) Maybe I should look into T-shirts or even notebooks for sale hmm.All while waiting for my damn camera to get back from repairs.Oh well.Shit happens.

Have a good rest folks.

derp.

Prawning today was terrible.But I got to spend some rare time with my bf.Yes, despite Singapore being that damn small we can't find time to have some time together.I know.Sad.But oh well,work comes first.Thank goodness for skype and apps.

The first thing once I get a decent paycheck - kick ass in prawning again.I swear I will.

For The Cat Lady.

"Even if it takes me not 9.But 900 lives."

This was definitely an long overdue fanart.As people know,I don't always do fanart, but when I do,that game have truly left a deep imprint in my memory.Indie game The Cat Lady is one of them in my list apart from the Fatal Frame series and Silent Hill as well as other indie games like Ib,The Witch's house and To the Moon.

Many parts of my personal life I can relate to Susan Ashworth.Not wanting to be among people and wanting to be alone.The dark grim outlook to things.But even then as Mitzi would say, things are not so bad.

True,things have been bad lately.From being stuck in the middle of crossroads to having my damn harddisk dying and everything just went poof and gone.However,today, things seemed to look up.Sure, 3 years of poly working files and things are gone but its a new start.I can start over.So maybe,just little by little,every thing is gonna be okay.

Now all I need are Cats.

Sweets.

Now alot of people who know me knows that I'm a honest person.So downright honest that I don't care if you are my enemy I'll just say it right to your face.Why? That's because I don't like to sugarcoat things when they are not.And its very obvious when people do that and that really ticks me off especially when you start spinning stories and stories interwoven over each other and let it fester into a big fat lie.Now you are just a hypocrite.

I know in reality its hard to be blunt,especially when you are at work or having a presentation or even talking to your lecturers.Since the truth always hurts.But thats how it is.Suck it up lah thats what they'll say.But there are just some things you just can't hide it with pretty excuses.

When I started this blog,apart from improving my art,I always make it a point to voice out the problems I see but not be a troll or that dumbass ( yes I call them dumbass because despite having so many certs they don't think through what they just did and BOOM!Your face is on the headlines) and state outright who or what is being that problem.Even if I don't someone else down the road will.I don't mean to be offensive or that moron that has first world problems but common sense says "No woman,that ain't working."Its like a GP or social studies essay.No reason to support evidence.Sorry,you shall not pass.

I think people these days are just oversensitive and afraid.And that ends up being a vicious cycle.Nobody gets anything done or get anywhere and society remains at a stale point. I know I am like that at times and still am a terrible bitch about it.However, the 3 years in poly have taught me to drop that terrible-ness down and get a grip and accept feedback and not make excuses for myself or anyone if there is no logical reason.I learnt alot despite my rages during this period.

This is just my 2 cents and personal opinion about 'sugarcoating' as I drew this illustration.It really got me thinking in alot of things and personal flaws and my future as I sit here typing this.I'll stop here for now on this quiet monday afternoon.

Cheers.And stop sugarcoating stuff.

Packages

Some packaging concepts experimentation/doodles.Not my forte hahahaha.A fancy lacey box.A Mt Fuji with zip lock insides and taped down snow cap (inspired by my hamsters' food lol) and another regular fancy box.

Had a good meetup with friends for lunch and dinner.A sugar fix on a rainy day makes for good Saturday.

Have a good weekend folks!

PS: there are kitties at VIVOCity from 1-6pm on Sunday up for adoption.Go see them furballs!Those fluffy cute things.More details see Cat Welfare Society FB Page!

And I'm BACK!

or as Ian Hecox from Smosh says : "BITCCCH!"

so my shit is done and I'm back, open to commissions and freelancing.Meanwhile, I'm just taking things easy and sit back with my awesome cake while watching Let's Plays.

Gotta love cakes man.

lack of updates and ...whatnot.

I am so sorry for the lack of updates and stuff really!But with a sudden commitments and other work, re -learning my shitty human anatomy while trying to fix my internal clock,making time to write Blood Debt's full comic scripts (which I'm happy to say that I have reached 3/5 milestone ) and getting the E-store up,I just couldn't find anything to post up here for public viewing!So here's a dragon blob or a dragob I call, for the time being.At least until things settle down for awhile.

See ya soon.
