Silence

Salam Maal Hijrah 1429! That is, Happy New Year 1429 in the Islamic Calendar. Blog has been quiet. I haven't had a lot to say lately. I drew this as a gift for a designer I have been a fan of for a while now. And that's just super :P


Tribute to Robert Indiana

She's popularly known among the local art/design scene under her Awat label. Her stuff ranges from hip t-shirt drawings, plushies, stickers to whatever there is that's cool to have.

Pimpage: Go check out Awat on Myspace or Flickr!

AND WHAT'S THIS? STAR WARS IN SOUL CALIBUR IV????? OH MY GAAAAAAAA!!!!!

Black Light Online

December 27th 2007 :)

Fandom and Original

Fandom
My fandom list recently includes Avatar: The Last Airbender. I watched it religiously a while back but got cut off when I first moved to Singapore. Things got busy and I had no time to catch up. However the craze is re-heightened as the box sets were made available online. (They don't have it in stores apparently) Now I'm back to being obsessed with the show.

Avatar has one of the most compelling storyline despite being a Nickelodeon program. The characters are so interesting intertwined with quasi-complex chemistry that I made a fanart to commemorate the series. This I call Always Together.



It's only right that I do a Fire Benders follow up! Among fandoms in my list that I'd love to do fanart of in time to come would be Gurren Lagann and Karas.

Original
Right now I'm spending time after work to continue Ultra Jiddo doujinshi for the coming Comic Fiesta in December. I do not know how much time I have to make it to the event. But I'm just gonna keep drawing until closing time. For years the sequel for Black Light has been shelved because of school commitment.

Here is a concept sketch for Aswad's Ultra form in Black Light #2. Hope to see you guys there!

Ga Ga - Do Do Do Do Do

Growing up reading comics, one of the things in japanese sequentials that fascinates me as a kid is the treatment of sound effects in manga. It still does! Even though the katakana characters meant nothing to me it still gave me the impression of... sound.

Up to this day, I still feel that japanese sound effects still work best beyond comparison. The characters themselves, are, well, works of art.

Okay. I'm babbling. I did this after work today - 12:51 - the antagonist of my free time comic, Ultra Jiddo.

I.....'m gonna have to change the title soon.

Smallville

Over the years my fandom towards the Superman mythology has grown tremendously, thanks to serialized television shows such as Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman and recently, Smallville.

Back in 2003, Season 1 was so fun to watch I drew Clark Kent and Lex Luthor for my very own Smallville music compilation CD. Forgive the bad art.

The continuation was okay... until 3 and 4 went downhill. I gave up watching for a while until season 6 came, sat for a whoppin' marathon towards finale. Boy oh boy after 4 years of 'some-good-and-some-really-shitty-episodes' the show is starting to become interesting again!

When Kara appeared I got so excited I didn't think of what to draw and how to compose. I just let loose and wing it:


Kara Zor-El, 2007

P.S. Bryan Singer's Superman Returns is in a league of its own - a personal all time favourite.
