Life Size Master Yoda from The Empire Strikes Back

Two weeks ago, while waiting for a meeting to surprise a friend, my colleagues and I had discussion about Star Wars and Lord of the Ring. We were conversing about our enthusiasm, fandom of these two. One of them was a huge Star Wars fan. He had quite some collections. The other one was a Lord of the Rings fan, and we had some similar characteristics. And I....  *indecisive* I'm actually into Lord of the Rings more than Star Wars. But I adore Master Yoda for his wise words, perhaps for his green skin :D

Here is Life Size Master Yoda from The Empire Strikes Back, Star Wars V, that I made in 32.5 hours. He's literally my roommate now.

Framed, Master Yoda and I

I can dye my hair now like Luke. My life is almost complete!

Probably going to watch Star Wars,  Lord of the Rings, and The Hobbit back-to-back. Yay or nay?

A Bouquet

A Bouquet.

I always love the sound of it. In lyrics or writings or when people say it. Here it is, a bouquet of flowers. 

Today's topic is colors experiment. So far, I was VERY comfortable with dark colors, black, grey, and white. Whenever I tried bright colors, eventually it turned dark. Gradually, it became darker and darker. Friends and lecturer were saying the same thing when there was a presentation. I was am a dark person. Dark force within me. Haha. Happy Sunday, people!

Random Pictures (That I Promised)

This is actually the first caricature that I've drawn and the first time I've drawn digitally.

Somehow I struggled so much since I don't have any drawing tablet. Long live Trackpad!

*my cousin always shakes his head everytime he sees me working with Adobe Products*

He said, "I've never known anyone who's so expert using trackpad than mouse or tablet..."

I'm feeling happy somehow... Awkward at the same time? Haha!

Next is TOP from Big Bang! Go Big Bang Go! Pens

This is a hatch drawing using all black technical pens that I had (that are already broken or else, and I still keep them). I really love hatch drawing. Messy. Tension. Passion. There's an extensive sensation whenever you mark a line. Line by line. The thickness. Deepness. Can you feel it? 

Talking about Big Bang. I was am still a Big Bang fan, but not really a huge one. 

See... I have this tendency to adore all musician(s), actor(s), and artist(s) related during their debut time. They were not really famous, yet I felt there are something there. There's something big will happen to them. And, boom! They are famous in an instant! Instant noodle! Perhaps I have an instinct to know who's going to stay long enough in this artistic industry... Haha! *Self-pleasing*

Move on... After the fame has covered the entire world, I will find other underground artists. And the adoration level to the pretty infamous icons is still there or decreasing a little bit. It depends, really. When the marketing gets really involved, my heart just fractures slowly. Slowly, it is.

Well,well. Why I'm talking about this tendency. Actually, this drawing was intended for a friend who really adores TOP. Her working desk was full with TOP Pictures. And, she just infected us with TOP Virus by sticking the pictures everywhere! My little red book. My desk. My computer. Infectious! Miss her madness!

Cartoon drawing of Spongebob Squarepants and a friend. Mixed Media

She's really a huge fan of Spongebob! Oops! I just realized we are at the age of a quarter century. Yeah, and we're still in love with cartoons. Best people ever!

Drawing cartoon was pretty fun with the color and that mad funny eyes. Expression, of course! When drawing one, you'll learn a lot about expression, movement, how to make an attitude. Getting mad, happy, sad. Feeling stupid. It was pretty much learning how to make expressions using your face. Yea, I look funny and stupid making a lot of looks and doing some sounds in front of mirror. My mom just looked at me. Shook her head. I was pretty much learning how to act! Haha! That what makes a cartoon is so interesting. And the hilarious nonsense!

Next! Woman in Blue with Flowers. Markers

I really want to know how it feels to use marker as a media. The color is amazing! Sketching with markers is seeing a world in a vibrant brand new vision. As a black and white avid, I was, colors are a stepping stone to see a new horizon. See it?

Last one, Daily. Watercolor, ink, pen.

It's a drawing of middle-aged man and his colleague working in a coffee shop (kopitiam). You'll find this scenery everywhere, everyday in Southeast Asia, particularly Singapore, Malaysia, and Indonesia. Don't you think they are really great? To work in a small space with a lot of plates and glasses in front of them. I'm sure I'll break some. There's fellowship between one person and others. Not breaking any glassware when the movement is limited due to compact area. Where the steam is there. And the flow is absolutely solid. 

Good flow, good drink. I missed that one kopitiam where I always chatted with the nice uncle and auntie there. 

Best Friend & Her Boyfriend's Portrait

And I did this portrait for my best friend.
She just went back to hometown bringing some goodies. And here's present for her.
I think their anniversary is coming soon. They are great couple! I'm always happy to hear some stories from them. Silly, funny stories.

*Details. Call it messy or whatever, yet it does have meaning. I'm going to share the meaning in the future!
Well, gotta go soon. I'm going to re-watch Star Wars V and draw Yoda. Life-size, it is! Hehehe...

P.S. I do some drawing requests. Sorry for not uploading them. Gonna share them soon! Promise!

Woman with Umbrella Illustration

I just finished this half-done old drawing on my organized desk.

Wasn't it great to suddenly obtain old things under you bed, inside books or folder or boxes, under you pillow, or inside your... old briefcase that happened to be located at a hidden place? 

The sensation of dicovering a precious treasure (A drawing means a lot to me)...

Oh! And that memorable hurtful dark & happy reminiscence...

#5 The Finish and Start

Saturday, 11 January 2509

After meeting the mysterious boy, those surreal voices were becoming loud and clear. I heard complaints, moans, groans, and those grievances. All the voice were disturbing and neurotic. Though my friends were still around and checking my condition, I was isolating myself. It was so painful that my friends couldn’t even bear to watch. Al was always there helping me out with the daily activities. 

One day I decided to ask the boy (#4 Saturday Fool), what had happened. He just stood there looking at the sky in silence. Without no hesitation, I ran away with Al and the boy from the city towards the hill. It was late night. The lights from the skyscrapers were still beaming dazzlingly. After hours running away from the bustling night, I managed getting out of the city. It was quiet here. Serene. Voices were disappeared.

The City, 11 January 2509

The boy stood beside me and pointed to the other side of the world I had never seen in my life.

It was an unforgettable night.

The night that I saw my hometown for the very last time.

Note: 

Probably this is the last Stygian drawing. Actually the writings can be more detailed, comprehensive, complete,... Like my previous essays during college years, there’s a lot of missing links here and there. A lot of re-writings are really helpful! It does matter! Oh! There’s a lot of messy drawings here. I’ll share with you soon in the future. 

Random thing: I have one resolution that I want to do this year! Happy 2014!

Mid-September

Hey there, I was away for almost a month. Probably I was looking for an inspiration or self-identity, wasn't I? I want to say sorry to myself for being inconsistent to the blogging. :(

I was away from home and took this beautiful landscape from the blurry window.

For almost an hour I was looking amazed and feeling grateful for the great weather. #epicskyscape

I'm going to put two pictures of this heavenly blue as I'm going to spam the blog with other thingies.

Social sharing procedure: you had to post food picture! It is the second best tiramisu I've ever tasted. 

Doodling #1. Me, wanted to draw the great Frankenstein. Dark matters are still my temptation.

Doodling #2. R2D2 Maybe. I gotta draw the bigger size. Hmm...

 Remember this car? Yup, it's the car in the Harry Potter. I went to the HP Exhibition. I passed there, since there was no other attraction in town. Honestly, I don't really have knowledge about HP terms, other than the main characters and the ... Wait! I gotta ask my friend about HP. 

Yea... I love listening to the stories. So, most of HP stories are coming out from my friend... friends... A lot! In the end, I was listening to their stories and watching the movies. To put it simply, I know HP stories from my friend who was talking for almost an hour about the main story of HP. 

The end.

 I went to the Andy Warhol Exhibition. It was kinda inspiring though it was not the exhibition I was looking for.

It's true. It's arguable.

Me still here, organizing the messy room. In the next post, I will reveal my new friend in town and new drawing! Tomorrow is a big day. So, good night sweetie pie!

P.S. I miss that term so much...
