Almost Over!

     Currently, all the final semester's students are busy with the exhibition. Well... more like we are nervous because of the internal and the external assessor. But I think all the assessment is over by 13th. Thank god, I'm over with both of the assessment. I really hope it all went well.

     On the 13th July, we are open to the public to come and visit our exhibitions. Lots of friends, family and other collage come to visit us. I gave one of my Owl Sketch Book to one of my old friend from Malacca. I'm so happy that she came to visit us.

     There were publishing companies as well. A few of the companies seems to be interested with my artworks. But when they were viewing my artworks, I wasn't there. I fell asleep in computer laboratory. Sigh.... And the second time, somebody from Karangkraf seems to be interested too. Again, I was not there because I was too hungry and I was 'hunting' for food.Why me~.. TAT

   I will post some pictures from Illustration exhibition later. I need to be prepared for a 'WannaBe' theme dinner on 14th.

Only ONE day left!

     I am sure all final graphic design students are EXTREMELY busy during this time. As for me, I still got one final artwork to be finished. The size scares me so much. 4 feet x 4 feet. It is large! Last night I tried to finished it but end up only finishing the sketch of it. I was forced to rest around 12 midnight because my head start to ache and I feel very sick. I wasted 8 hours to recover and as soon as I woke up, I quickly continue painting.

     In above picture is the mess I made while painting. I am 60% complete but I will definitely finish it off tonight. Pray that I don't feel sick again. It's 6.00 pm right now and I have not touch any food yet. I am not even fasting. I did wasted some food last night. I did not eat it because I am feeling awfully sick.What a waste.
     After this, I have to go out to buy some stuff like.... more painting brush! I need a bigger size. The painting was to huge for the small one to handle. I still need to design and print some stuff made from my digital artworks. And some 3000 words report to be finish. I really hope I can make it before 9th June.

     These are the cats that always come to play and eat in my room. Both of them are male and I am pretty sure that they are not siblings. I love the black one most. He is nice and cool. The spotted one are more spoiled and slightly selfish. He was the source of all the cuts on both of my hand.
     The last one he left on my left hand was deep. It was painful and I have to covered the cut with bandage because it was bleeding. I took this picture around 6 am. But then, they start to play noisily and I have to get both of the cats out the room. They were disturbing my other roommates who are still sleeping. 

Enough wasting my time here, I shall continue to do my job. Good bye~ :D

Do ALL the illustration!!

It's the final of final. Only a few days left before the Degree Show. I need to complete all 10 pieces of illustration. 9 of it are sized 2 feet x 2 feet and the last one is 4 feet x 4 feet. It's HUGE! I haven't touch it a bit yet. I wonder if I can make it. NO! I will make it!

Last semester of degree is scary. Everyone was so focused in doing their task, they even forgot to take care of them self. Or was it just me?
Though sometimes I did not eat properly, I will always make sure the cats are eating properly. :D Thank you for visiting my room and take away all my stress. I love you cute cute kitties~  Neko kawaii nee! XD

My poor ACER cannot handle the big file of PSD. It consumed so much time to render whenever I use PS. But you've got to hold on ACER dear! We are on the FINAL WAR!

With money all dried up and my room looks like it had been hit by tornado, I must continue to finish all my work................ and TRY MY HARDEST to ignore the temptation of PSP ^___^' . Don't forget to visit us during Degree Show at Uitm Shah Alam. I'll update the exact date if I manage to survive this war.

Here's a sneak peak of what I've been working on last night. :D

Chubby mouse is running away from the shadow behind it. What does that shadow looks like to you? :D

Still trying

 

I tried to improve it. But not sure if it's ok or not.

Not sure if......

     I've started the digital illustration for my final project and this is the first illustration. To tell the truth, I have no idea if I am doing this right since.... well it look odd to me. I have no idea how to do the digital illustration actually. So I've been referring to illustration book. might as well said this is my first try since before this I'm just playing and messing around with the tablet. Any advice?

Yes, it's not complete yet. And... please don't mind the plain background. I am planning to replace it anyway.

I am just too good at ignoring assignments

I was suppose to finish off the digital illustration for my final year project. But again, my hand was drawing something that is not related to my assignment. Instead of drawing Owl as my subject matter for the assignments, this one came out.

I want to do the table flipping thing everytime I look at my digital illustrating skill. It's very terrible. I need to learn more and MOAR~

It's Holiday!

Despite being in vacation, I barely went out from my home. I seriously need to take driving licence and get rid of the fear for driving. Since I really do not like to cook except for being really hungry, mom gave me a thick recipe book for me to study. And eventually drag me to the kitchen. I had to give up, and thanks to the new kitchen, I am slightly motivated to cook. While waiting for the beef to be cook properly, I played with my favorite psp game like a boss. Since it was first time for me to cook something that I never cooked before, I expect it would not turn out that good. But in the end, the plate was completely empty. Mom said it was very good but I still have a lot to learn. She is right. I hardly recognize the ingredients.

Other than that, I am helping mom with Biology book where I have to draw some stuff. I reallyneed to study more on design and illustration.

The Wall I have been Staring Everday

This is actually the board on my study table. I stick a lots of my own drawings and characters that inspire me. Yes, that is Gaara from Naruto animation. Nine years had passes and still his fan. I also stick artwork of my favorite character designer, Kazuki Yone. I could only upload a part of my study table. If I get any lower than what's in this image, you would only see jungle of books and papers piling. It's indeed a war zone. And that small Sanji figure keychain is a birthday gift from a friend. I love it so much. If you are reading this, thanks again!

Some Sketches and Marker Render

His haircut is awesome.
Tsukimori Len would be shocked if he could met his voice actor.

It's from my notebook which 90 percent of it consist of my drawings. Sorry for the bad capture image. I could not find a scanner. Anyway, can anyone recognize this three guys? I guess you could not unless you are a Seiyuu [Japanese voice actor] fan. I tried to draw Taniyama Kishou, Kamiya Hiroshi and Mamoru Miyano. Did I just fail at drawing them? If I did, sorry about that.

                                                       
This two girls are.. randomly pop out from the tip of my pencil. I'm just kidding. I love to draw long wavy hair. And one piece dress. I just do. I wonder why?

If you are from Malaysia, you would probably recognize this guy. That's right. I draw a caricature of Mawi as Badang in filem Magika. I am not used to drawing caricature so I am lack of confidence whether I could draw it properly or not. Piling below the caricature of Mawi is my other marker rendered artwork. I'll be posting some more in the future. Please look forward for it~ 

My Favorite Character Designer, Kazuki Yone

This is....Saitou~ kun. 

My favorite character designer is Kazuki Yone. She is working for Idea Factory company and create artworks for many otome game, a game that are targeted for female market. Some example of game that she has been involve with is Hiiro no Kakera and the most famous is Hakuouki Shinsengumi Kitan. Hakuouki will be release in English in February 2012. Above picture is one of the characters in the game, Saitou Hajime whom are voiced by Toriumi Kousuke.

this picture was scanned and edited by the
respective people listed at the bottom of
the picture

Above picture is another artwork by her. It is from the same game, Hakuouki Shinsengumi Kitan. His name is Hijikata Toshizou, voiced by Miki Shinichiro. I love how Kazuki Yone draw his long hair. He still look manly despite having that long silky hair. unless I am blind.

Playing with Wacom Graphic Tablet at Comic Fiesta

just another Tsundere boy

Instead of stalking Cosplayers, I decided to stop at graphic tablet booth and use their Wacom to create this at Comic Fiesta 2011. I still remember while drawing this, there is another girl sitting next to me and using another Mac to do some digital illustration too. She is pretty good at it. While drawing this, I feel like it was a competition to see which one is better at drawing. The judges? Strangers behind both of us which were rapidly taking our picture. Since this is first time I used Sai paint tool, I am not really used to it. But I have to admit it was fun. So I was considering the idea of selling my Genius graphic tablet and buy Wacom.

My Marker Illustration

This is one of my artwork. I am still struggling and learning how to do digital illustration. So, for the mean time, I'll just bear with marker render. I am currently using marker Prismacolor. The color is quite easy to blend in. I have to admit that first time trying to color using marker, I am very terrible at it. I have no idea at all how to control the color. But after training some more, I have slight idea on how to control it. I'm still learning to improve it!

Tsundere's Definition

Some of you might be wondering what on earth is ' Tsundere' which I pick as my blog's title. It's actually a Japanese term that often occurs in games, manga [Japanese comic] and anime [Japanese animation]. Well, according to Wikipedia, Tsundere comes from term 'Tsun Tsun' which mean to turn away in disgust and ' Dere Dere'  which mean to become sweet and lovey dovey. In other words, a Tsundere person is the one that act all cold and harsh to you at first but gradually shows that cute and kind side sometime.

Introducing, Tsundere Tsukimori Len from anime and game called Kin'iro no Corda. He is very well known for being tsundere and being extremely cold to the heroin, Hino Kahoko at first. But the fans believe he's just being shy and his ego is blocking that dere dere side of him.




But back to the topic, why did I pick Tsundere Art as the title? You saw the blog's header? That's one of my artwork. I love to design characters and the characters that I design mostly are being Tsundere. They just refuse to smile. Maybe I should show more of that dere dere side. 

I am a Graphic Designer and chocolate is my Enemy.

Not that being a Graphic Designer has anything to do with hating chocolate. Maybe I am born to hate it. Meet my enemy, The Chocolate Bar.

Keep this AWAY from me. The smell is killing me.

Greetings to all. My name is Wardah, a graphic design students in Malaysia. I used to abandon this blog and now I am going to revive it once again. This is my second blog. My first blog is game related blog and here I will talk more about myself, characters design and also maybe I'll post some Japanese language lesson that I've learn. Feel free to visit this blog.
