Great days at the Annual Comic Fiesta and the SciFi & Fantasy Comic Festival. But am sooo relieved that it is finally over and we can get back to normal life. This here is our booth manned by some sacrificial volunteers from MnU. We're also planning to sell our books online and in bookstores for those of you who've missed the action. http://mars-and-uranus.deviantart.com/
Special appearances from the Imperial Army,including Predator,Eragon,Freddy,Jason,Elecktra and Susan from the F4.
Had the honor of spraying graffiti on a make shift wall alongside Mr.Vader. That;s me holding back his cloak from knocking over the other spray cans.
Me giving a talk on Character Design and Style during the SciFi event.
Above is a pic of Eric and Sarah Joan (comic artist extraordinaire) and below it, a glimpse of the 24 hour comic competition. From our side and right in front,you can see Gray and Thim working hard on laying out their ideas and rough sketches.
The hooligans who're manning the booth at the Comic Fiesta in Sedaya School Hall. Somehow our lil family seems to have adopted quite a few more bunch during the event.And last but not least, a BIG BIG THANK YOU to all the lovely folks who've supported us in making these events a big success and also for purchasing the goods.
Cheers! :D
And some sketches I did while I was there.
Above, sketches I did while on my way to town on the LRT. And below, while waiting at the Mandarin Oriental hotel lobby for my colleague to pick me up. Naw,I didn't stay there. I slept on a chair at the Impiana Hotel where my colleague had a room. Amazingly managed to get some sleep despite the make-do arrangement. I really must've been very tired that day.
During a coffee break. There was this girl doing a mo-cap simulation gig at one of the booths there. Wish I had more time to capture all of her movements and gestures.
Terrence Masson delivering his note on 'The top 5 things that will DOOM your animation production'. Lovely!
The convention centre outside.
Coffee break. Booths were set up in another hall for conference-hoppers to mingle and chill in between seminars.
Dig the crazy awesome view outside the convention centre on beautiful clear day. It'll be a total waste if I didn't take advantage of it and escape for a bit for some fresh air outside in the park. I'm glad I took some time out in the park with Mel and Joe there.
Dig the beautiful trees with all the dangling roots about them.
My rabbit at top and hers below it...I like what she drew on the back page of the rabbit. Looks like an attempt at drawing a dog. Nice style there!
My very first drawing I've received from her. Really nice ain't it? I was so very touched by all her efforts and gesture.
Out of all the drawings she gave to me, this has got to be my most favourite piece. Thats suppose to be me and my dog. I liked the fact that she put a lot of effort into it, tho I can't remember owning that outfit plus that orange pantyhose. Haha! Classic! My poor dog apparently hasn't a backbone to him that his body sinks drastically while being tied torturously to the wall. And I like that she's a keen observer to details. Lookit the shadow effect from the lamp. Lovely ain't it? Truly an artist in the making. ^^
Her take on elephants. There's an elephant to both front and back of the page. Think I prefer the top one coz it has her as a little elephant there as well. Ain't it cute?
It wasn't too long before I realised that the way she'd identify me was by drawing a black dot to my lip area of the face. Looks like a mole there, but that's really my birth mark/scar. So yea,that's supposedly me,the big girl in the middle with her and her friends around me. Gotta love her attention to detail. 
The Creative Arts n Technology Conference 2006 held at Enterprise 4's Auditorium at Technology Park,Bukit Jalil recently on the 6th and 7th this month was both fun n exciting for me coz it means having another opportunity to rub shoulders with more animation lovers or animators, watch screenings of works and animation done by the local professionals and especially getting one of those rare chances of meeting up with old friends again. The icing on the cake was of course, a two part series of talk given by two reps from Studio Ghibli. Above pic showing some of my MnU friends having a blast in front of my digicam before the start of the conference.
My colleague Kamal at the podium delivering a short talk on our progress work on the Saladin tv series.
