Struggle will be a lot of fun once I start loving it. Can’t wait…

From the letter Van Gogh wrote to his brother.

Starry Night – Van Gogh

“Perhaps death is not the hardest thing in a painter’s life. . . .

Looking at the stars always makes me dream, as simply as I dream over the black dots representing towns and villages on a map.

Why, I ask myself, shouldn’t the shining dots of the sky be as accessible as the black dots on the map of France?

Just as we take the train to get to Tarascon or Rouen, we take death to reach a star.”

If Eve would have not eaten the apple of knowledge there would be no figure models.

Riddick

Some sketches and ideas after watching Riddick. might make it into a oneshot later on.

I watched Riddick the other day and was so inspired. Yes, the CGI is not great but the idea was awesome. A survival thriller set on a different planet with different rules and creatures? This is a great idea, and I think they handled it pretty well. At least up until the middle. I heard Vin Diesel funded the movie himself, which I find pretty cool. God I hope he is going to make another one.

I love art. There aren’t many careers out there in which even if you constantly fail and left unappreciated all your life, your work has a better chances of becoming golden while your name well known years after your death.

I think this is rather comforting!

Fight Scene – page 2 color

Was working on coloring the page. Trying different approaches to colors. What’s great about this style is that its pretty fast and expressive.

I really don’t get beauty magazines. There is nothing wrong with skinny girls in my opinion, but that’s not my taste. I like them to have some extra beauty around. However, because it’s not somebody’s taste, they feel it’s okay to talk down on other people’s preference and create a whole population of insecure beautiful women. Please feel pretty!

Fight Scene – Storyboarding to first sketch (click link for more)

I’ve decided to continue working on the fight scene. Here is the progress so far. One ‘hopefully’ final line work, One page of sketches before linework,one storyboarding panel and one page layout sketch. Now, what is left is just some color.

Done in manga studio

* So, I accidentally swiped the characters and now I need to come up with a different ending to the storyboarding. So good lesson for the future. Like my grandma says “Pay more Attention!”.

Was reading many different sources and found out that, it’s quite different from what people believe it to be. Seems worth investigating!

Depopulation

Let’s be frank. What does depopulation mean and what does it not mean?

What it does Not mean is killing or hurting people. What it Does mean is making conscious awareness of how much we reproduce. It means reducing the amount of babies we are making as it endangers the survival of our civilization. ‘Here, are more of Us, than we can Sustain.’ So we should be conscious of our reproduction for the better future of next generations. Be safe.

I might turn it into illustration.
