Pick your teacup


This was drawn in early 2011 back when I was in Jakarta getting ready for my final year in Limkokwing (moments before I go to Malaysia). I was in a total green & purple mood again so I drew this. The green cup was supposed to contain green tea while the purple one was containing poison disguised as grape juice or wine. Well maybe it's safe to just say it's wine/grape juice.

Back then I wasn't into 3D that much. We used 3DS Max, I wasn't a big fan of it but now I kinda miss playing with it. And now, since I've gotten in touch with Blender and Cinema4D I thought of redoing this pic in 3D. I used Cinema 4D R12 for this one. The original background was black but I wanted a brighter background so I choose light grey for the environment.




I felt like something was missing so I added a door and some round windows. And dimmed the lights a little. Finally, I gave a little sunset touch.

My thoughts on fanfictions

The other day I was reading this article on austinkleon.com about stealing like an artist (which he'll turn into a book eventually) and thought about number 3 on the list; "Write the book you want to read" and as he further explained this he wrote about how he wrote a fanfiction about Jurassic Park after the 1st movie, and then comparing it to the sequel which he thought sucked. So if he advised all the artists & creative people out there to write the book they want to read, draw the comic they want to read, act the movie they want to watch, etc. then this explains A LOT about all the fanart, fanfiction & fanmade animation of a lot of fandoms in deviantART or any other art websites with twisted storylines come from... Not blaming the advice; that is in fact a REALLY good advice. The sad thing about them is, nowadays most of the fanfictions roaming around the internet are either extreme yaoi (and yuri, but mostly yaoi) with crack pairings of two characters that a

Palette Change

Once again, a comic featuring my friends (even more of them this time) and another reason to waste my color pencils and some blue ink (which I managed, cuz I had to buy another blue ink cartridge for my pen halfway while doing this comic). I wanted to do a different story & concept this time, and seeing that my previous comics this year have certain color schemes with minimalized color palette, I wanted to fit several color schemes into one comic, and since that requires changes, the running gag would be the characters noticing the color change and constantly breaking the fourth wall, realizing that they're inside a comic. The inspiration that triggered this was Cookie Cat ice cream sandwich from Steven Universe [Episode 1: Gem Glow] buuuut the story for my comic turned out totally different instead. Plus I love ice-cream sandwiches and mint candies… also apples.
