For those of you who enjoyed the head modelling tutorial from Second Reality that Hoe Yi gave us,here's the rest of the tutorials for the whole body etc:

Arild Wiro

Second Reality closed down,but at least the artist reposted the tutorials.I know,they are easy to follow and more systematic right...so that's good news for those who will accept no substitutes.(like me.lol.)

Well... good news,my internet is back on.

I've also posted chapter 2 and 3 of Chimere in my scriptorium blog.Sohs go read it if you have the slightest interest. And read chapter 2 first, eventhough it's at the bottom yah.

Also,I've reloaded my iTunes playlist.I guess it's a blessing in disguise that the whole of the old playlist disappeared,because now my iTunes is more organised and I saved a lot of space.

And now I have to look for body sculpting tutorials for Maya.

If you guys have been wondering why I'm not online for so long, it's because my internet connection is down.Yippee...In case you are wondering,I'm typing this from college.





Sohs, no msn for very long...good because it makes me focus on my work better, but bad because I feel lonely online.Meanwhile I've been leeching connection from the club and from my condominium users to do Maya XD...hope the connection is fixed soon.

My Maya progress.Yeah,I didn't finish the 50% in time,but I'm proud of myself for even understanding the tutorial XD

Oh yeah,and I owe one chapter to my Scriptorium blog.I'll upload 2 chapters at once next round.Even if nobody is reading DX

PS:Kaye,until when are you staying in Malaysia?Cos I wanna celebrate your birthday

Hahahah...so much research to do for concept art tralalalala...

Sohs I've learned many things that I would otherwise not know.

1)killer whales are not whales,they are dolphins.=_=

2)Dave McKean is making a new movie called Luna.(He's that Mirrormask guy)

3)Neil Gaiman has a new book called the Graveyard Book.(He's the other Mirrormask guy)

4)Deep sea diving expedition packages start from USD25000.Not sure if it's only for scientists or for tourists as well tho.XX,let's go!!!

5)Deep sea giant tubeworms can grow up to 7 feet long.And yes,they are animals,not plants.

6)north Korea doesn't have a President.What they have is an Eternal President of the Republic.He is dead.Kim Jong Il is their Chairman of the National Defence Comission.

7)One of the Backstreet Boys is gay.Cos they have fire and desire.Ask Kaye about this.

~~~~~~

Ok,now to actually sketch out the designs...

You see that girl over there (gestures to right of screen) called Kaye?She has a new blog.It's here,please spam all you like.She likes to eat and she likes Tarzan.

PS: I still don't understand why I'm animeyeen.I don't go kya or nya or desoooo or have pikapika eyes and I don't glomp people.

~~~~~~

There's also another girl,she is called Yen.She's Kaye's sister and she is also my evil music teacher.She also has a blog,and it is over here.She shares it with her Belgian bf. He says he can tell you about Belgian chocolate if you want.

PS:Get a chatbox.Currently I can't tell people to spam you.

I'm just really very frustrated now.My dad recommended me to delete my music files because he said it will remain in iTunes and in the end it will save my hard disk a lot of space.I did that and in the end all my files dissapeared from iTunes.The good news is that I have backup files.The bad news is that there is nothing in my playlist,and I have to click everything again to put in the playlist.Also,all the renaming and organisation that I did is of course lost.Worst of all,instead of saving space,I think it ate up more space on my hard drive,which translate to slower computer speed.I will be needing good speed this term because of all the Maya subjects.

Also,the transfering of files has eaten up my time today for doing maya assignments. I feel very stressed and tired now,so I'm just going to sleep over it and do my assignments tomorrow. Seems that I won't be listening to any music for the time being.

There's something I really don't get about this term's timetable...is it 14 weeks or 8 weeks? According to the college calendar it's 14 weeks but based on the subject outlines and pass year's experience it should be only 8 weeks.

~~~~~~

Short term is good because we get to rest more, but if you calculate the cost per lesson...you're in for a shock.

OK,before I calculated I was thinking something like RM30 per lesson.

But here is the actual amount:

Total fees for this term:RM4000

Number of hours: 14 hours per week X 8=112 hours

RM4000/112 hours=RM35.71

So all those 4 hour classes we are getting are worth=RM142.86

OK,to be fair Jason's classes are actually 5 hours long,not 4.

But I'm still going to take all those movies from the college computers.We should probably charge our handphones and computers at college as often as possible too. And use the water fountain more often.

And I thought music lessons were expensive.

the To Do List tick offs

red-done

1)spring clean room. 

my mom helped me to overturn my bed base.the dust bunnies so totally died.

2)spring clean computer.

just did that just now.My thumbdrive is all sparkly and fresh like a shoujou-fied shiny object

3)update dA.

er...3 pieces only

4)practise violin.

i did. i really did.

5)study Japanese.

finished beginner textbook and a bit of kanji(which has deteriorated like shit)

6)do art exchanges

2 pieces done and 2 linearts to CG

7)movie marathon.

-Wall-e

omg damn cute...everyone should watch.

-Kung fu Panda

-Dark Knight

-The Cell

-Schindler's list

-the stuff that's in the list i posted

Pan's Labyrinth-sad ending, nice character design

The Princess Bride-the lamest storyline you can find(Princess Buttercup lol omg...),nice dialogue

-stuff on crunchyroll

so sad, I only watched Rob-B-Hood.Of all things,a movie with such a lame name.The baby is cute though.

-in other news, I also watched the Golden Compass and Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy(again).Golden Compass has a good idea with the animals and the mechanisms but I don't like the main character girl.

8)fill up iTunes.

letsee...I have some Itzhak Perlman, Joanna Wang(my dad recommended) and one CD from my foster family in Japan(it's koto pieces,performed by the grandaunt of the family)

9) post stuff on scriptorium blog.

Prologue and chapter 1

yep.

Looks like I won't be starting college until next Thursday cos 3D modelling got cancelled.lol...

The timetable for me is like this,only 3 days:

Monday:3D modelling, 2.30~6.30pm

Thursday:Marketing n consumer behavior,10.30~12.30pm

                  3D animation, 2.00~6.00pm

Saturday:Concept art,9.30~1.30pm

few days but long classes.Dunno how am I gonna survive 4 hour classes,somemore so intimidating subjects like 3D modelling and animation.

My results are also out,and it seems that I have not failed anything eventhough there was some problem with concept art.The lowest marks I got was for animation,which was surprising,and also surprisingly I got A- for concept art.Seriously I didn't expect anything above C.

~~~~~~

OK,just a few more days of freedom.Nooo!!! I need more time to study Japanese!!(cough)

~~~~~~

In other news,I'm  currently reading Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.So far it is as funny as the movie,you guys should read it too.And watch the movie.

Jeez...August flew by so fast.Just goes to show time flies faster when you're having fun.Actually I'm not really looking forward to the new term tralalalalala...

~~~~~~

Besides that, yum cha gang want to go to Langkawi end of the year. I dunno whether I should follow them or not because

1)i'm going to vietnam already during that holiday

2)so it feels like a waste of money to tour so much

3)dunno whether it can work with my schedule,have to fit it in with college break, vietnam trip and christmas holidays(Because things get more expensive during that time.)

what do you think? have u guys been to Langkawi before? i havent...

actually wanted to go to Kapalai islands which is at the border of  Sabah and Indon, near Sipadan islands. But it's too expensive and dunno whether safe or not,sekali someone come and bomb the place up.But it looks so nice.Listerine blue water and white sand, corals, fishes, chalets built right above the sea...

~~~~~~

Sohs,what have I been doing during the holidays?

-Typing up my story for scriptorium(btw i think i'll be updating every 2 weeks now cos i dun hv a long enough story to last the term and i type slowly)

-Studying japanese a bit...finished beginner level liao.Can't wait to get to advanced level and study kanji,that's where I'm weakest...

-doing illustrations.wip stage still.

-practising violin.Hear that,YenYen?

yeah,that's typically my daily routine.Exercising is supposed to figure somewhere in there.

also,I found out the joys of downloading e books yesterday. This is a good site.

ok, ttfn
