"Loving The Alien (Sometimes)"

2011-02-19T02:38:00.000+08:00

Hey.How are you doing these month?Haha..Yeah,its been months since my last post.Just so you know that i am still alive and breathing.

However,these couple of days has been really tough. I mean it.Real tough.I always thought that i know what to do when i need to do something.But this time i dont.Sure some of you can relate to that.

But hey,i'm gonna keep this thing inside.

Don't worry,Froggy's will be Froggy's,no matter what.Oh yeah,since i'm in this melancholy mood and all,come and listen to this song with me.Great stuff by Velvet Revolver.

"Loving The Alien (Sometimes)"

Sometimes I think I'm scared
Sometimes I know
I feel like making love
Sometimes I don't
I feel like letting go
Maybe not
I feel like giving up
Is all we got

Sometimes is all the time
And never means maybe
Sometimes is all the time
Maybe

And I'm moving on
And I'm moving on (Sometimes I feel alone)
And I'm moving on
And I'm moving on

Sometimes I make believe
When we're alone
Machines have taken hold
Can you get me to a telephone
It's just the little things
You used to see
Am I still that man who makes you who you want to be

I never noticed
How lovely were the aliens
Lovely were the aliens
I never noticed
Lovely were the aliens
Lovely were the aliens

Finally, the long awaited comic has come on the market.Only RM6.90 out of your pocket, and enjoy this comic.Head on to here to preview and review!

Special preview for you guys!

Inking Demo using HP 2710p

2010-09-22T16:35:00.001+08:00

Just a character from my latest comic for Komik-M.
(sorry for the poor video quality)

Here's the inked character.

Another W.I.P..

2010-09-19T14:44:00.005+08:00

15 pages comic for PTS Komik-M.

All sketches and inking is done on my HP 2710p tablet PC.

Hp Tablet PC stylus combined with rubber grip taken from Pilot pen.

2010-08-21T13:43:00.003+08:00

Using the pen that comes with the tablet is quite uncomfortable.The size of the pen is so small.(at least for my big hands).But the pen itself is quite good.The pressure detection is smooth too.I wish the pen have the rubber grip like my Intous3 pen.

Most of tablet PC pen are compatible with the pen from WACOM yesteryears technology tablets,such as Artpad or Artz series.Pens from the early Cintiq(15sx,17sx,18sx) model also are using the same technology,which makes it also compatible.
However the pens from the Graphire,Intous,Cintiq or Bamboo series are not compatible with todays TabletPC.
This makes it very hard for me to get any replacement pen for my tablet PC.Better replacement I mean.I can always get the stock pen from HP if my pen happen to be missing.
Yesterday,with such creativity,i've done a little modification on my pen.I put the rubber grip from my old Pilot pen and put it on my HP pen.It fit perfectly.
The results was remarkable.I can move the pen freely without the pen slip or losing any pen pressure.

I'm in love...HP 2710p

2010-01-28T09:31:00.002+08:00

My Windows 7 (evaluation) will expiry in one month.I need to re-format within that period.

(But my real plan was to do that 3months ago.)

For me,this the best OS ever.

Mac OSX?Used it and dumped it.

This is somewhat an ugly workstation of mine.

I also eat my lunch on that very table,everyday.

Ngaaa.....

Gotta catch them all!!!

2010-01-26T15:56:00.003+08:00

This is the rarest ~~Pokemon~~ of them all.

Yesterday i had a chance talking to my buddy,she tell me about her encounter with this little being.It was a frog that so thin,looks like a piece of paper!

I thought it was a papercraft like this-

Of course I ddnt believe that kind of frog exists.But she take the effort to Google for its picture.

And suprisingly,that 'paper frog' did exist!!

(warning-mature content)hahaha..

I'm freaking sure this dude can't jump!

But i did not get the name of this species.

For now i call it "Jonferog".

A tribute to my dear friend,Joner Blaque.

(I have a thing with this whole frog stuffs,
don't ask why I bother writing this entry.)

MMS Comic.

2009-09-11T02:38:00.000+08:00

Comic is everywhere.It could be seen anywhere.The traditional way to read them is to buy it at any bookstore.
As generations is getting pretty much 'all-digital' life these days,the medium for delivering comic also has change.People are now more into the e-comics or e-books method.

As we know, now mobile phones has been a gadget which every living person must have in everyday life.Thousands of people everyday downloading their media through their mobiles.From weather,news,music and even live video feeds.

This is where M-Mode Sdn Bhd and me made our move.I will be doing comics with this company.And it is exclusively for mobile phones.Practically every mobile phones that have the MMS capability can enjoy this product.With a little cost,of course.

People in Malaysia(only) can read these comics by subscribing and will be given 2 MMS Comics per-week.There are variety of comics to be choose from.From funny comics,love stories and even horror comics.All made by the talented Malaysian comic artists.

I will give you updates about this thing later tomorrow.

Everyday is a holiday.

The Energy Within.

2008-06-09T09:42:00.000+08:00

Monday again.Last weekend i was searching for the 'energy'.The enery that always pushes me to do all my jobs.I don't think its the calories that i'm lacking of..But still I am being more sluggish than before..i've been taking so much time to do one job,which takes much less time before.Am i getting old?Or am i being comfortable on where i am?Maybe.Time to think Froggy.Its not what i want for myself,but its what can i do for myself..Yeah,I can do better than this..

Aang revamped.

What I've been doing with my time??!!

2008-06-04T10:25:00.000+08:00

Yesterday Shem emailed me.He is the person i refer to for the job his company gaves me.He asked for some details about me..name and numbers..But I am so dead.I still got halfway to go with the job,and already passed the dateline a week ago..Its just a schoolbook job but its a really thick textbook..Damn,when i look at the script he gave me,i keep asking myself when am i gonna finish this thing?I asked for some extra time from him,and luckily he doesnt seem to be so stressed by it..Thank God.
I've finished the inking for the Garuda..Looks nice for me.Hope you enjoy my style..Now I'm looking for some reference for coloring part..i'l be doing this tonight think...(sigh,you have Shem's jobs to finish la froggy!!) huhuhuhu....
