Summer time is up, most of my classmates are relaxing and having fun now, but for me it means work and now it’s full time. I still feel that I haven’t graduated yet, and would still go back to school if given the opportunity. But now, I need to earn money to buy the things I want, and hopefully become stable in life. Then, I can continue to my studies in a few years and maybe take up a masters degree. But instead of talking of my “future-future” plans, let take a peek of what I’ve been up to lately…
I drew a rough sketch of a woman which is supposed to be “possessed”. If I don’t feel lazy this sketch maybe cleaned and colored in using my favorite designing software, Photoshop. I entitled this sketch as “Possessed”, since my brother said that the character looks “sinasaniban (Tagalog word for possessed)” when I showed him the drawing. I’m actually happy about his comment about the drawing, since I was aiming for that emotion/image from the very beginning. Though this character has no clothes, this is not Hentai or porn. I haven’t placed any details yet since its a rough sketch, but it may belong to the “artistic nude” genre/category. The artwork style doesn’t look like anime/manga, it looks rather western and semi-real, but I like it more that way, since it adds up more to the “possessed” look. I don’t think it would look nice having a cute faced anime girl doing that pose instead.
I’m posting this sketch so as you readers may comment if this looks awkward or if there is something wrong with the anatomy of the body that I can’t tell. I did base some parts of the pose at Posemaniacs then improvised to have the certain look and feel that I want. So please do feel free to comment or suggest anything to make this sketch better.
Also, besides drawing I have been thinking of redesigning ChanLu, though I assigned the task of creating the logo to Rogelio. With the redesign I’m also planning to recode ChanLu from scratch at the same time.
I will be using the Ruby programming language (thank goodness the Dreamhost supports it) using Sinatra web framework this time, with an additional ruby gem called Haml, it would help me speed up on developing ChanLu and the template codes would look so pretty and makes it more fun to code! Wayne helped me on installing the ruby gems on Dreamhost. But I’m gonna install Datamapper myself, but I’ll ask for his help again if I encounter any problems.
Keep ‘em commin’
Yes of course.
But you should have at least commented about the artwork…
Mikami! Sakujo! Looks like a female version of him. Very good work.
About the logo, don’t worry about it(?). It’ll work somehow. Just joking. I’m working on it, really.
Ruby, waa. I envy you.. just wait.
Good luck!
She doesn’t look like Mikami! Hehehe.
Just be sure to have the logo up, and fast!
