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~
EVENT REVIEW: Animex South East Asia (DAY 1 SNEAK PEEK)
Saturday, 11 October 2014 @ 07:09
Well, that was a long nap.
As promised, I'll share with you what the event had in store! Mind you that I'll only describe it in its simplest form, to respect both the organizers and the speakers. If you'd like to experience more, it'd be best to get some tickets for the event yourself next year!
Originally, I planned to go alone, until my chauffeur (AKA my older brother) decided he wanted to tag along. We lined up, signed up for the event AND one of the Masterclasses, paid up, got our wristbands and our super neat goodie bags. Each person gets two bags! SWEET.
After the registration was done and over with, we ate breakfast (which was included, along with 3 other meals) and went into the main hall for the opening ceremony. There wasn't a huge crowd like Comic Fiesta's, but there was a crowd, nonetheless! The opening ceremony went by smoothly with speeches from each distinguished guest, and each speaker was introduced and given cute caricatures as mementos!
After the ceremony was over, we were split into our respective groups, A and B. Group A's wristband was yellow, while Group B's was blue. My brother and I signed up for Group A simply because we liked the schedule better (that's the only difference: the arrangement of the talks that will be held).
(These are my wristbands. The green one was for the Masterclass I signed up for.)
We entered our designated hall, sat down and were given ground rules. No recording or photo-takings were allowed, so I won't be able to share much with you about what I saw, but I'll try to keep you informed with what was necessary. Keyword: NECESSARY! I'll be careful about giving away too many details.
The first speaker was Alex Trowers, a veteran game developer who was one of the masterminds behind Glyph Quest, a super addicting and totally adorable game available on both the iOS and Google Play! The other important mastermind was his wife, Leanne! He taught us about how he got to where he is now as an independent game developer, and at the same time reminded us of the beauty of having a family. He was a really cool guy, and their baby is unbelievably adorable (he showed us photos)! The amount of love he has for his family was unbelievable and I was honestly touched.
(Here's a screenshot of Glyph Quest. If you're looking for an adorable, addicting, irresistible game to get hooked on, you should check it out! Apple featured it for a reason, y'know! Plus, this game caught the attention of the creator of the famous Hatoful Boyfriend, too!)
The second speaker, after Alex, was Dr. Stuart Sumida, a BIOLOGY PROFESSOR from California State University and-- WAIT FOR IT.... A real-life PALEONTOLOGIST! I yelled, this man is living my dream. He's worked on a number of famous movies including The Lion King, Tarzan, Kung Fu Panda, Ratatouille, Brother Bear and recently, his pride and joy, How To Train Your Dragon and How To Train Your Dragon 2! He helped the crew out with a lot of anatomical works for both real animals and those that exist only in our fairy tales and fantasies. His talk helped us understand anatomy (and the true nature of paleontologists) a little bit better!
I managed to snap a photo with him but I look horrible in it, so you'll have to wait until I finish cropping myself out of it first.
Although I'd love to share more with you, I believe it'd only be fair to tell you to check the event out yourself next year! Trusty reminder: This review only featured half of what what shown on the FIRST DAY! Trust me, the time, money and effort that you invest in it will be worth the while!
If you want to tag along with me, do give me a holler! I'd love to go with some company!
Until the next post, I'll see you later, friends!
