May nagpagawa sa akin sa Deviant Art, a writer named DevinRichard ng comics character niya na ang pangalan ay Oblivion. Naaliw lang ako sa karakter kaya pinatulan ko. I don't expect anything in return naman so ok lang. Masaya naman ako sa ginawa ko and he gets to fight my Viking Warriors. 

Here, niyari niya yung isang viking ko pero notice the one on the left? Nakaumang na yung dagger. Let's see how fast Oblivion is. Monk yang si Oblivion so I opted to use a samurai sword instead of the usual big sword. That's also another thing kasi may pagka oriental or asian yung karakter kaya nagustuhan ko.

Masarap din mag-drawing ng mga karakters ng iba kasi you get to explore and widen your imagination while adapting to the creator's own concept. In the end, you get to satisfy somebody and also yourself. And for me, that's a good thing!

Hindi ko lang mapigilan to post this kasi ang galing talaga. I've been a fan ever since I saw the film and now ito namang book. Sayang, I just hope may maligaw na kopya dito sa Dubai.

I posted some of the artworks for posterity. Galing!

SAN DIEGO COMICON

Kararating lang mula sa nakaraang SAN DIEGO COMICON ang mga kaibigan kong Kano na nag-pitch sa ilang mga publishers doon. Nakakatuwa dahil miski wala ako physically sa event na iyon ay masuwerteng nakita na ng mga international publishers ang mga artwork ko.

Very positive ang naging response ng mga nakakita sa collaboration namin ng mga "friendship" ko although wala namang nag-commit to publish our stuff which is the usual thing doon, dahil hindi naman lagi upfront eh bibigyan ka ng offer, ok na rin ang naging resulta para sa amin.

Our team actually is so positive with what we have because even there were no takers we will continue to "self-publish" our graphic novel.

At dahil diyan tuloy ang aking paglapis ng mga pages ng nobela namin and hopefully before the year ends ay mailabas na namin ito.

Isa sa mga characters doon ay itong "Viking Dwarf" na ito. It's my first time actually to color my work with a graphics tablet. I am lucky to be granted by our office with a Wacom Intuos 3 na 12x18 ang size. I also installed Corel Painter X kaya eto pinag-practisan ko kaagad ang sketch ko. Masarap mag-work sa tablet kasi halos yung sensation ng traditional coloring ay pick-up niya. You have ready colors and unlimited canvas... Well I don't have to explain all the advantages of this technology pero one thing's for sure, "I found something that would play a major role in enhancing my skill as a Graphics Designer."

Because of this, I actually bought a tablet of my own. Medyo cheaper siya, Genius Sketch Pad na 8x6 pero ayos na rin. Alam niyo kung bakit? I recently installed Corel Painter X sa sarili kong PC at nang subukan ko nang gamitin ang Genius tablet, surprisingly, it produced the same effect. So, nasa program din. And speaking of program, siyempre Adobe Photoshop goes hand in hand with Painter. Ang galing ng combination nito kasi both programs keep its layers intact miski palipat-lipat ka. You do the painting in Painter and the effects and enhancement in Photoshop, SUPER!

So iwan ko muna kayo with this character sketch I did for the novel, colored with Wacom and Painter X.
