Hey guys!

How's things going nowadays? Hope ya feeling great and always in good health.

Well, it seems that it has been almost half of year that I have not update the journal. Questions may be arise like somehow I went missing for 5 years after setting fire in Nibelheim or trapped in the Void Between or maybe plunged into Darkness etc...

No worries, in fact, I'm still alive - surviving in this harsh reality and life goes on as usual. Just that I'm kinda busy after since I joined into a new company.

Sights of my existence still visible in DA, as I recently submitted a few artworks which somewhat is not as epic as before. I'm so sorry that I couldn't fulfilled the epic-ness of art quality like before. I'm not a full-time artist, just doing for hobby sake... and during when I'm free at home with not-so-tiring/sleepy conditions.

So, as far as you know if you did not exercise your hand/mind regularly on drawing, you may ended up someday that you "forgot" how to draw or having lots of doubts that you think you may be unable to achieve the same epicness like your glorious day before.  

Now what I do is,
1. Cosplay Manipulations:



Yeah, special thanks to ~SasuSaku-4ever for letting me to use her fantastic cosplay photo to photomanipulate them. In fact, cosplay photomanipulation is also part of my goals along the same line to achieve realism drawing. I like to put magic effects or epic effect surround the character.. it's like watching movie/anime/CG scenes with all those fancy magic stuffs. (Damn, only if I can animate in 3D that will be total awesome!)  

2. Oh yes, Project: Redo (that is the journal's main topic)

At times, I do some frequent visit to my gallery, lookin' at my old artworks - comparing before and after. Now when your eyes start staring at the old artwork, and then reflect to the new artwork... you will start to realize that "with my ability now, I can do better wonder with this old art... my hand started to feel the itch"

And ta-dah *with Challenge Accepted expression* !!!, I embark the journey to do some minor or major redo on my artwork. Here's the current result:

  



You may be not realize this, but I have intensify the lighting and color... making it glow. It has been my intention all these while to make artwork seems like glowing, but somehow couldn't manage to achieve.

This may be old redo... but it's one the mixed media artwork which I proud most. I thought I could never be able to edit this until, again, *Challenge Accepted expression* comes in.

AND NOW....



Haha, this is one of the challenges which all these while have no guts to attempt - fearing the impossibility. But after the *Challenge accepted* face, the plan seem working fine and her face now... *already jelly* LOL

Current progress, it's already 20% done and going to be lots more to go... So if everything goes smooth, I shall be able to complete by end of June?

Anyway stay tune and until then see ya!
