Colors Plays an Important Role in My Life

I am VERY particular about colors. Be one of my staffs, u'll be wary bila u can't susun the tudungs according to color harmony [to make them understand, I told them to susun ikut warna colour Luna, itupun many FAILS to do so!]; I will start membebel before menyusun semula tudung tudung tuh.

Alhamdulillah, dengan sejumlah wang bonus yg tidak lah terlalu banyak, I am able to start decorating our palace. 8 tahun living as a family of my won, I havent got d chance to REALLY decorate my house... honest. Sebenarnya bukan tanak, SANGAT nak. Ada attempt, but bila sikit sangat yg dapat dibuat, I gave up. It sux being a perfectionist in terms of this! Kalau nak buat biar SETTLE. Sikit sana ciput sini, TAKDEK MAKNANYA!

Dengan duit yg ada ni i finally ada sedikit budget to repaint THE WHOLE LIVING AREA of d house. Next target baru nak usik bilik... memang nakkkk sangat bilik yg menyedapkan mata, tapi takpe, Raya ni kita concentrate luar luar ni dulu... budget yg ada banyak hal lain nak disettle...

Babah dah start painting. Memangla muka dia tak berapa syok sebab kena paint sendiri [no budget upah orang.... since ada sorang je Man of d House, kenalah guna khidmat dia...] I myself kalau ada masa nak juga mengecat, macam zaman skolah skolah dulu, DOrm B tu masa anta dila dulu MASIH lagik warna yg sama... Ingat tak kawan kawan Dorm B ku sekalian? Even Dorm H... pun sama. Seronok ngecat dorm dulu kan! Tapi almaklum, balik umah pun dah pukul berapa, dah letih, iron baju pun nak kena upah orang, inikan pula nak ngecat. Saya surrender. Diluar batas kemampuan!

Berikut adalah cara saya memilih warna... Pakai PHOTOSHOP believe it or not hahahaha~ Pengetahuan yg ada jangan disia siakan :op~

Bila dah publish, baru tersedar, warna yg I chose sebijik Maple color, like the current Theme ~ In Love with naple-ness haha~ 

Still tengah pilih pilih kaler untuk wall lain lagi ni....

Back to what I chose.

Back to designing. Back to where I belong.

I don't know for how long will this 'case' prolong. But meanwhile, let me do what I yearn to do. I love designing. It's been a year since I really do. Tangan dah gatal nak illustrate, making grids and breaking it, typography...! ah the heavens!

Let me generate my income through my brains once again. Eventhough it's not much, I am happy.

If anyone reads this, and understand, thanks. If u don't, I NEED A DESIGN JOB! Gimme! Thanks to Adar's offer, I've got one job in hand. But I need a permanent one... anyone?

p/s: another design job i need to do is to change this blog's background. dah nak termuntah tgk background ni, bosan. Bila nak buat? Tungguu...

EAM won awards!

I will settle for nuthing but the best.

I was the one who responsible of designing the cover and prelim pages of this book. Also did some of the illustrations [especially yang emergency]. Tunggang terbalik kami menyiapkan buku ni, sampai tido kat opis. But syukur alhamdulillah, this book won two awards from Majlis Buku Kebangsaan ~ Best Layout and Best Illustrations. Other creative designers were Lan and Mizi for its inner layout. Illustrators: countless especially freelancers.

Hope this will be a great career boost for me :o))

One frontal walk cycle down!

Go google, yahoo! search, or anything, MANY sane animators FEARS walk cycle. this is just a quotation from other animators, but i feel the same way. furthermore, i'm green in this animation business, and mann doing a walk cycle really really makes me cringe.
I've been up since 3.45 am this morning, up till now, 10.59 pm, the longest hours i've stayed awake since i've been pregnant for d 2nd time. and this morning, i started my experiments on walk cycle, not just a walk cycle, A FRONTAL walk cycle. i did walk cycles in sideviews before, quite easy, but never a frontal! senior animators, yes u can laugh at me and be reminded of who u were when u were an apperentices yourselves. i had to really flip through the Animator's Survival Kit book by Animator Richard Williams to really understand the walk cycle. I painted my character, frame by frame. my 1st experiment sucked. i was frusrated. i went to take a nap for barely 20 mins. handled Jazz, did some other chores before i decided to try again. after berbuka, i did. and here's the result...

yeah i knoe itsa bit rough, but... i'm proud of it! she's Kim, my main character for my Major Project. She's suppose to be an ugly dull girl, who gets mocked all the time by her skoolmates.

to some of you this might be a shitty post, but i'm just sharing my victory with u guys.
moral :: DUN EVER GIVE UP! and i still haf a long way to go for my Major project, I won't give just yet!

Happy Wedding

Sometimes, I can't believe d things i could do. Though tired, I am now amazed and proud of myself. All 7 trays of wedding gifts completed in a mere one in the half days. Minus class period (plus to n fro) yesterday and sleeping time, I think I did all of it in less than 24 hours the final one was done by 4 am this morning. And at the same time, I've finished my first MTV ident, the one with physics concept. Here are all the hantarans...

All 7 of em
The Shell - placement for THE ring (not there yet), a pair of original pearl necklace and bracelet
an album of Mas Kahwin and Wedding Expenses
Al-Quran n Sejadah, May the marriage be blessed by Him
Telekung... for the lady of the house
Shoes and Bag, for the pretty bride
Perfume Set, may the relationship remains sweet to the last of breath
the basket to place fruits

cantik tak? he he. nak hantaran camni? come u buy the stuffs i do it for RM20 per dulang :op he he advertistment.

Ad-Hoc Specialist

my in laws are here for my bro in-law's getting married this weekend. meriah umah ni... n Jazz is always d center of attention :op

now i'm totally bz, i haf a presentation with RMIT for MTV idents d very day i come back from Perlis next week (Perlis is where d wedding's gonna take place), major project pun dah nak merge ngan Media Elective, and mama's demanding more n more gems jewelleries for she got d new display for it, and one more thingy - rupa-rupanya hantaran pengantin tak buat langsung lagi...!!!

distance relationship... mak kat Sabah, anak kat Penang, bakal wifey kat Perlis/Kedah, abang kat KL.... a communication break down can totally happen anywhere within. dat's wat happened here, Mummy (mom in law) thought Ben (pengantin) already bought the hantaran stuffs, including the kotak, done with ribbons laces and everything, rupa2nya he only bought the gifts. azam pulak has no idea wat's going on to warn me dat i hafta do d hantaran again like wat i did for Ben's engagement last year... luckily, d crafty-me is ever willing to do it. so tadi dah pegi beli all d laces n stuffs, nak beli yg siap mahal giler diorang charge, so kena buat from scratch.

but i'm dead tired, with all d commitments i hafta meet. i hope my lecturers will understand why i'm slacking a bit. it's sumthing i didnt plan, or ask for, nor run from. dat's jest me, i'm dedicated and committed to EVERYTHING. i can't prioritize well. so i do EVERYTHING. as a result, i'm flat... flat tired.

it's ok. i'm sure there's a hikmah behind all these. i jest do what i can, here and there. tonite... i already did these.... it's pink time, everyone!!!!!

I survived!

we felt like we had a meeting with MTV themselves

I rarely haf problems for presentation, being an ex-debator, school actress and not to mention many many elocutions and public speakings i haf done. but today i was a nervous wreck, i sweat like crazy and i went to toilet avoiding to be d first few people to present my moodboards.

Ms Nicole from RMIT was present, to moderate and comment on our progression so dat we can improvise in wutever posibble ways. this is not d 1st time we haf a progression with ms nicole, she was around last semester as well.
well... i was d 5th person to present, after Andy, Afza, Husni and Faren. oklah... not too early, and i get to recite as many Ayat Kursi as i can he he. but it went well, and i actually feel more confident when Ms Nicole gasp as my moodboard appears on the projector screen. Eugene who knows every single bit bout my concept was bz nodding, and Ms Nicole said she liked my color scheme, which credit to Eugene again for reminding me to maintain the color scheme for each ident. as i explain my concept, how i want to manipulate two very different ideas - science and MTV, i could see Ms Nicole nodding and dat adds up to my confidence. all in all it went well, the only amendment i haf to make is to chane d greenboard colour to slightly more bluish, and the location setting of physics ident from a lecture hall to a physics lab/class. not too bad, as compared to some who had to do major changes. the advantage of seeing Eugene all d time :op.

why? why did i felt so nervous before presenting? it's prolly the 'want' to make this a success, the desperation, the need. i was really afraid if anything goes wrong, if Ms Nicole or Eugene find my style, idea and character design suck. and the need for this to give my CV/portfolio a plus point. all these add up to the tense i had.

Phewwhh Alhamdulillah... now i will haf to start animating, yeappp the hardest part is here! more sleepless nites and aching head/back/eyes... i asked for this didn't i? but i guess i'm still up to it. may this be my way to richness!! :op

Unleashing the power of my sketching

power? power apa? power macam ni??? as i was a bit free and having terrible insomnia, i pack mama's pwezen (yeah her b'day today, one day after ateem's!) and felt, 'ee murahnya bday prezen' but i dun wanna be hipokrit, buying her prezen with her own money, eventho it's consider my gaji/allowances. sooo not right. so i got an idea, y dun i scribble sumthing for her? this is it... it's suppose to be mama herself...

• shading strokes too rough
• mouth too anita sarawak
• cheeks too tembam

*sigh* i'm totally a beginner. but at least i made an effort, compared to her cheap prezens :op.

Happy Birthday Mama! Allah selamatkan mama dunia akhirat... Amin...

Total Recharged

Phewhhh!!

I slept at 9.40 pm last nite and woke up 7.00 a.m this morning haha.
Back from college, cooked, dined, i was damn tired. i counted the amount of sleep i got for the past 70 hours (since 9 pm last night) :: 8 hours and 20 mins!! urrghhh..!! no wonder i was so drained. i was forcing myself to finish all moodboards, character design and i have been werking with mom too, not to forget went to bkt bintang to buy my lovely animation now! book.

after taking shower, had a quality time wit jazz n hubby for awhile, and dozed off, till morning. whoaa...! so refreshed this morning, but my back still hurts, from leaning towards monitor too much. it's my bad habit, looking at the monitor as if i'm trying to swallow it.

it's ateem's bday today. Happy Birthday Izz Zuhair Hateem!!! he's my 6 years old brother, my very manja and spoilt one. and i'm 20 years older than him *sigh* tuanya! we went buying his bday cake at 10 jest now, and sent it to his tadika at the surau behind mom's house. his whole classmates were enjoying the cake n vitagen mom bought for em. cute!! comot belaka makan cake, balik sure kena marah ngan mak masing2. anyways... nampaknya this year is tahun malas buat b'day party, even jazz punya tak buat buat sampai sekarang. alah it's ok those two dah banyak sangat toys, enoughlah dulu, maybe next year...!

ok back to werk... as i kinda expected, my student character got rejected he he. and i had to sketch and illustrate digitally in class yesterday, i'll be posting it later. right now i'm preparing finalized moodboards for presentation tomorrow. as for major project, i've got d script and shot list done. next step, character design and rough storyboard. oh yeah i haf to cut down my shot list to 20 shots, right now i haf 32, mr tan and linda was looking at me disbelief, i really haf d tendency to write long story he he...!!

ok peeps... werking time!

chem teacher sux, physics teacher ensem

mannn... d more i look at dat stupic chem teacher, d more i hate it. i really need an idea fast. by the way, here's ZAMBOT, the nutsy physics teacher.

Chemistry is about atom and molecule

i know this looks... ordinary. but d concept is atom and molecule. wont change it until i get more ideas

Robo Robo Freaks

from dat to dat, looks like my physics teacher is going through major personality changes. muehehehehe. progressing good :op but uhh.. wutabout d 2 other teachers? *sigh*

Progression

this is my physic robot teacher - 1st attempt. Eugene says it's too serious, should be more grungy and started scribbling sumthing dat looked like Invader Zim. thanks to him, cus i was outta ideas. so... stop till here for this one, developing a new one, sumthing a bit simillar to wat i've created, just need summore CRE AeH TEE VEE TEEyE! sp dat's wat we call... Character Development :op

Major Project presentation yesterday. it was... d worst presentation i ever did. i just read wutever i had on d slide, and tried to explain in a very bad bad way of communicating. i was having my menses. dat sux u know, menses always gets in my way. but i was lucky, i didn't hafta stand in front of mr tan and ms linda being criticize to d point of dumbness, like many of my classmates. maybe because i approved my stories way earlier and get to develop them before the presentation. many of them didnt get their story approved or they got rejected so they were presenting blindly. yeah, some had to bear with mr tan and linda's 200-times-american idol-like critiques. class ended i dunno wat time but it was already 30 mins past d allocated time (6pm) and azam n jazz had ta wait more than an hour for me in hassan street mall so i cabut. there were 2 more people havent even done their presentation.

went to eat sate kajang @ tmn warisan with my eyes refusing to open, i slept all the way till morning once i got back home. Hellish day for me yesterday. 1st day of menses SUX.
