augh where did the time go. it's almost q4 (another month) and I haven't achieved half my creative goals for this year.

from now til mid-december i'll be working on my application to creative writing / e-writing grad school. this will probably be some short stories (fiction) and an online short story (for which I am going to have to learn macromedia flash - if you know of any good websites to recommend for flash animation, do share the links in a comment!).

no more games after I finish Odin's Sphere (and it's actually structured very nicely, so I feel like I deserve a break after each stage/boss). btw Oswald/Gwendolyn foreverrrrrrr.

[link] Vefurrin tied for second place in the first MIMC! I'm so happy :3 I will link to it again when it is published on the e-morning website.

After finishing Vefurrin I need to work on HERO again (and work on another standalone that involves drawing modern cities, woeee). Thanks for your encouragement and kind words on Vefurrin <3 though I feel it could have been executed better I learnt a lot making it and I'm glad the result was still enjoyable.

and was kind enough to get me a subscription, now I can pimp out some of these awesome deviations more enticingly >3 this is only a small fraction I pulled up in a hurry, wait til I get more time to sit down and organize links hurrr

This question is is mostly for the Malaysians xD;

Do you know any art printing shops in Subang / Sunway / PJ you would recommend to me?

I'm looking to print a single copy of a 20+ page greyscale comic with one full-colour cover page. No binding necessary (I think) as this is a submission for a contest; just good quality prints at either A4 or B4 size. Any place that prints good b/w photographs would be great, though I'd prefer a place that handles art prints.

If the shop could produce prints on very short notice (within one or two days) that would be ideal as I'm really running out of time orz. I have no idea what is the usual preparation time or process. In fact I have no idea how to start prepping the files for printing (TIF/PDF, CMYK/RGB??). Any recommendations would be very much appreciated >3<

Many thanks in advance! <3

Any Mr Children fans out there? They released a new 14-track album (HOME) on 2007.03.14. As expected it is wonderful, with songs that make you want to laugh and sing and cry >w<bb <3

For anyone planning to visit or staying in Japan, they'll be on tour to promote the album from May to September 2007.

I'd LOVE to go but it might be hard navigating alone :/ depends on plans I guess, and my ability to speedlearn spoken Japanese. But oh my favourite beloved ojisan band ;3;


PS . OKAMI IS A WONDERFUL GAME

clubs:

this year i promise to draw more things that are not people.
(note that elves count as people (reluctantly))

also to update comic regularly (er. WORKING ON IT RIGHT NOW) and to draw blindly instead of thinking about what clever thing to draw and in the end not doing anything, which really kills me most of the time.

also to draw more BL because it makes me happy~~~<3

happy new 2007!
