May the 4th be with you.

Yesterday was StarWars day! I know I'm not that much of a StarWars geek, but the saga will always be in my heart. Anyway, just a little info about me and StarWars;

The first StarWars movie I watched was The Empire Strikes Back. Back Then, I didn't understand a thing about the movie. The only I love was R2D2 and the whole part where Yoda is training Luke to become a Jedi. I hated the love hate relationship between Han Solo and Princess Leia.. Your name is Han SOLO for godsake! And lets not forget I was about 5 or 6 years old when I watched the VHS tape. So all those lovey dovey stuff was never in my interest. *evil laughs*

My favourite movie in the saga is definitely Episode 1 - The Phantom Menace. No doubt. I love everything about it. Queen Amidala, Obi Wan, Qui Gon, Tatooine (where Anakin was raised), Pod Racing, etc. With that, I will let you guys listen to my all-time favourite track from The Phantom Menace OST, "Duel Of The Fates." Hands in the best fighting scene in the whole StarWars saga, hands down.

P.S. One time, I opened this track my car and let my friends listened to it. A trip to dinner feels like an adventure to another galaxy. It was EPIC! Right guys? *crickets sound*

May the 4th be with you guys because tomorrow it's revenge of the 5th. *giggles*

Faceless Emotion

A sweet animation from Polder Animation.

"A young boy moves to a new neighbourhood and falls in love for the first time, with the much older girl next door."

I have to say.. of all the good thing this short animation can offer me.. I really love the rendering.. the wood-like shading and harsh lighting.. it gave me the whole miniature look... In addition.. I love the pencil like strokes on the characters.. kudos to the art direction!

Another unmistakably coincidence that cannot be unseen! The core storyline is exactly the same as another short animation that I stumble upon quite sometime ago..

But this one got this dreamy cum imaginative kinda groove goin on.. again, kudos to the art direction with the rendering.. 

1 finger in the air

1 finger in the air for the fucking liars,

1 finger in the air for those that thought we’re stupid,

1 finger in the air for those who never thought we cared,

1 finger in the air to tell them to bring it!

*sometimes I guess anger brings out the best in me, drawing and poetry at the same time? daammmnnn!*

Once Upon a Time...

From the creators of Upin and Ipin.. comes a whole new story, Pada Zaman Dahulu (Once Upon a Time)

I have to say guys, Les Copaque is setting the animation bar pretty high in Malaysia right now... What I really love are the textures in this story... I hope the storyline is good enough, so that not only kids can enjoy it, but young adult like me as well.. 

Sugoi!

Gorg always posts cool illustrations, design-related works... and this time.. it's about Tsunami... As we all should know by now.. an 8.9 magnitude earthquake shook Japan almost a month ago... Illustrators, digital painters and designers from all over the world contributed their artwork in a project titled "Tsunami" for the cause..

Here's some of the artwork,

Update of my current work.. Mr Jijoe said that my models were not detail yet... but he said design-wise it's ok.. phew... certainly this is not finished yet.. I've yet to texture them...   

Also I would like to wish all the Muslims out there happy fasting as we welcome the month of Ramadhan once again... 

It's tough making friends when you're an OXYGEN

Christopher Hendryx Produced this bubbly animation as his thesis for the Department of Computer Animation at the Ringling College of Art and Design. What I like about this animation is the simplicity of it. I like how he created the story using the elements from the periodic table as characters. Genius! All the characters are actually attending an element-ary school.. hahaha

So while enjoying this animation, you can actually learn the basic reaction of the oxygen when mix with other elements. Gotta love chemistry.. I know I did during my secondary school...  Coolio~

For more of his work, you guys can watch it at partcileart He uses Maya, Shake, Realflow and Renderman.. A lot!

DragonBoy
