About the Bloggers
When three humans of different world collide to create an art blog
for their computer & information processing class, beautiful disaster is created.
An Introduction
Hello, internet.
This is Elyna speaking. On the internet, I'm more known as Lynn, and among Radhii and Nenek, my genderbent version is called Eli. Call me whichever you're most comfortable using. if you know me in real life in any way though please try sticking to Elyna thanks.
I am the 'youngest' and most 'inexperienced' among the writers of this blog, but since I designed the blog I shall begin the intro post. I am a graphic design student, and I'm not very familiar with prospects of this subject since the vastness varies between universities. You might have noticed but I'm more of a writer than an artist, but I love art in all forms all the same, including literature and performance arts (well, watching it).
My experiences in art include sketching (realism and semi-realism is sort of my style right now but I started off with manga style) and I'm still learning with digital art. I hate coloring traditionally but the texture of paper when touched with pencil is ecstasy to me. Doodling when my thoughts are astray seems to be a habit. my illustrations are highly influenced by Korean idols and style.
I will be mostly posting experiences about trying new things and learning as a graphic student in INTEC, including figuring out template codes without 3-inch thick books and trying new brushes and color pallets on SAI. I'm quite a sullen person unless I start talking about something I'm interested about (which includes things that might bore you; sorry about that) so please forgive my boring writing style!! when it gets casual I can be considerably humorous though, so please anticipate that!
And that's all, reporting from my bed, 11:22pm, first of September 2014! Elyna, Out!
Salutations, friends!
Radhii, speaking! It took me a while to post my own intro, so I'm going to go all-out! Radhiah Ibrahim is my "official" name, Radhiah is my "usual" name, Radhii is my "pet" name, and Haidar is my the name of my "genderbent self."
In terms of art (in all its vastness), I'm only experienced in a tiny spec of it. I began drawing (seriously) at the age of 12 with our handy-dandy columned elementary school books, which I've used to make a comic called Idiotic Impulse. I started drawing digitally in 2011, and have continued to do so til' this day. I also post most of my art online on Twitter and Tumblr (with the user name Toddintops)! Mind you that as much as I am able to draw, COLOURING IS A HUGE CHALLENGE FOR ME... But! I am working on it, and will never give up until I can!
In this blog, I'll be covering multiple fields! My specialty being reviews, particularly reviews on events (because I am a convention junkie--)! But, I will also aid Elyna and Nenek with anecdotes and tips or tricks of my own (if Nenek hasn't covered them all already...)! At the end of each of my posts, I'll share with you a recent artwork/doodle of mine, just so I can keep track of my progress and so you can grow with me as well! I really do hope you'll enjoy our blog, it's super fun to write in, so I hope it'll be super fun to read, too!
So, that's all there is from me! Until next time, do take care, and have a nice day!
Woop~ Hello and welcome to the “get-to-know-you-bloggers” section of this blog.
I’m probably the last person to submit my bio but whatever.
So, my name is Nur Atiqah binti Hassan but you can just call me Nenek. Yes, I’m that Nenek Harmoni and yes, I’m a woman so stop asking about my gender and look in my damn profile. [You lazy ass bums..] Also, my genderbent self/human/creature is called Atif [some of you might have seen him somewhere on the internet, goofing around and being dumb.]
I’m also the creator of Haidar, Eli and Atif .
So yeah, I started drawing seriously when I was 12 and I started with comics mostly. Now I think I have about more than 20 comics created [only 1 is completed though.. *sweats*]. I got serious in drawing because of a friend of mine who also loves to draw. [Unfortunately, he quit drawing as we grew up and that is sad..]
After I got my own tablet on the 25th of December 2011, I went digital and crazy-mass-producing artworks since then. I also gain lots of friends and I’m glad to have them so I guess it’s a great life as an artist.
Enough about my background, I’m going to talk about what I do in this blog. Technically, I just draw tutorials and make tips on how to draw something or how to get inspirations. I think that’s all that I can do because I don’t have any other talent except for drawing..so yea~
Have fun looking around our blog and thank you for visiting~
BLOG: a thirst for adventure.
Thursday, 23 October 2014 @ 17:15
It was Deepavali Eve (people rarely use that term, don't they?) when I had a thought about how we're at our prime years and yet we sit around worrying about assignments and GPA points. It wasn't the way to live, but it was the cost of ensuring a bright future for ourselves.
The next (late) morning, I asked Nadhrah Izmi, a good friend of mine from back in school (and now in INTEC too, doing A-Levels in pure science) if she wanted to go out for lunch. I suggested we go somewhere new, since we had a bit more time than usual to spend. She agreed, and so we met up for late lunch.
We got a taxi from Petronas Section 18 to Plaza Alam Sentral. At that point, I was aiming some small stall I read about in a blog but wasn't sure was still alive. When we got there, it was evident that the basement area in Alam Sentral had been used up by The Store. We looked around some more for something to eat but there weren't much, so we walked (with umbrella in hand - how practical were we?) to SACC and finally ate at Noodle Station. It definitely wasn't new to me, but Nadhrah had fun picking out a drink - they had fancy choices. She chose "Ice Age" in which when I asked if it brought her back in time she said "Yeah, I'm seeing pterodactyls."
I told Nadhrah about how I watched a video by StillNotDavid on YouTube about how he hates being 23. It basically said that after 25, you don't have much to expect from life. I said "If I knew that my future was bleak, I would be spending my days just living it to the fullest, not having to worry about a future." She mentioned how she wonders, if we were gonna die in 2 years would we be living our lives to the fullest? It still lingers in my mind now.
We then moved on to buying cookies and going to PKNS. I've been there to buy clothes and scarves with my mom and I guess that was all it had. We didn't stay long before we found the next interesting thing - a park! With a lake! And swan paddle boats! So as we crossed the road Nadhrah was like "I knew this was gonna be an adventure!!" and I suddenly felt like I was part of a movie. #moviemoment . We took pictures, making our way to the station (??) where they kept all the canoes and paddle boats, all the while contemplating whether we should rent a boat or not. Of course, the lake was a nice place to take pictures, what with the scenery and readily available props ie old buildings and frames. It brought out Nadhrah's inner photographer instincts.

Much necessary selfie.

After passing by the cafe and playground, we decided to have a drink while still thinking about the paddle boats. Suddenly we remembered that we planned to go to Laman Seni Section 7 and it was definitely great weather to go, so all thoughts of paddle-boating canceled, we quickly finished up our drinks and looked for a taxi at PKNS. The driver we got wasn't really sure of the place but after listening to his colleague explain where it was he looked pretty determined to send us. Unluckily, we got on the wrong side of Section 7 and paid a huge amount to the driver haih. But, it was worth it. The first art at the beginning of the lane was magnificent.

At first we were only taking pictures of each other, not knowing how was it possible to have a picture together (both being somewhat introverted), until someone asked us to take a picture of them and we were like oh okay, we can do that haha. So we did, in a few pictures. It was amazing how these people could make all these beautiful things in an alleyway, with mere paint. The nature murals were especially fascinating, with all the details put into every inch. The eye-illusion art were cute too, and others were really dramatic, and I'm guessing those had more personal artistic values. My personal favorite had to be the Behind The Scenes of MBSA though. They weren't picturesque in the sense to take pictures with, but rather just to have a nice overlook of what is and what could be. The details put into that was superb, too - I especially liked the choice of colors. Very groovy-cyberpunk-ish.
Later we had early dinner at Pappa Rich and went back home. Note-to-self: Pappa Rich would be an awesome place to have breakfast. The choices of bread dishes looked scrumptious. Of course, one can only have so much in one dining when you're holding a student budget. More adventures? Yea, kinda. We used the MyTeksi app to get ourselves back home, and the driver we got didn't get the clue that WE were the customers when he arrived. Literally had to run after the taxi. The hell?? Oh well. Experience. When we got back to Akasia we parted ways. And I guess the adventure ended when we drove into comfort zone - Section 18.
Life can be funny. Sometimes you expect an adventure and you don't get one. Sometimes you expect a well planned journey and instead you're surprised with inconveniences. Sometimes you'll find pleasure in the simpler things in life - like paddling boats or walking down an empty lane. If you find a chance at adventure, with a friend and a prayer, walk into it. You'll never know what you'll get. We are, after all, living the prime years of our lives.
