Being Full time Freelance Artist

2012-01-09T23:21:00.000-08:00

guys, being Freelance artist is wickedly awesome.
the best thing that happen to my life.
best job that I ever wanted.

but surely, its not a Job for everyone.

yes you can choose anytime, any day to work.
you can choose to whom you going to work.
you can even choose to lazy around all day without worrying being yelled at by your bos.

but also.
you need to careful to choose your priority, you might ended being so poor there's no money in your pocket, or even worse, get a load of money but overwhelmed by jobs you must finish.
being freelance means you need to be discipline yourself, no one can tell you what to do or scold you.
you have to do it on your own.
and when job offer is coming, its hard to reject them.
you have to smart with your schedule, and be a good manager for yourself..
thing that I failed to do.. LOL

yeah.. to be honest Im screw up my own schedule.
Im tagled in project.
people keep coming and offer me ajob while I can't accept it..

so many things to do, but I cant arrange time to get it all done in time.
hey who said being Freelance are easy??

but still I love this job!
now lets get back to work shall we

Tea party Commission step by step

2011-09-21T07:37:00.000-07:00

since monday I dont have any internet connection in my work place (right now Im on my parents house )
its because there some bugs in the sysytem so I cant use my internet although I already paid, I already complain to the Internet provider, they said they trying to work on things, but I dunno when I be able to use my internet.
oh well.

right now Im working on 1 children storybook, 3 comic project, and 1 commission.
for the commission today finnaly Im be able to finish it (so now its out from the list )
here are the steps:
for this commission, Im using Illuststudio, because Im new at this program so this is an opportunity to learn. a new tools, first of course I make the sketch traditionally with pencil, I haven't get used to sketching in digital yet after all :D

new layer, and I just inked the file, the preasure and the lines that this programs produce are really-relly lovely, its dosent take a long time for me to falling in love with the lines, everything are just perfect with what I want.

after the inked process is done, I just using a wand tools and make the basic color for this pic.Im just using the pen (ctrl+p)

with big water color brush, I just using random colors that gonna make the the colors stand out more. you can see the diferent right?

and after that, I just make another layer, and make the shading with pen tools, the result are solid colors just like a cell shading. I have to learn more how to shading with this kinda of style but I thinnk the result are not bat at all right?

Luckily, I be able to finish the task on time without injured the deadline. well its only 8 spread page illustration afterall. :)the client love the result and promise to comeback with a new script.I hope the upcoming script going to be smooth like this one.amen!

Inspriration

2011-08-18T19:35:00.000-07:00

every time I read post from guys at Muddy Colors, I always have strong reaction that I want to be just like them.
not only become a great artist, but a person who can inspire others.

to be inspiring , I know a person need to have some skill, a different perspective of mind and be able to share it with others people, full of creativity, energy, passion and others thing that make people gasp with awe.

do I have those thing in my self?
I think I have, but its not enough even for myself.
I dont trust my own capability to inspire others.

I have skill of course, I can draw. but Im still raw and have so many thing to learn.
do I have different perspective?
well since Im little, people always said that Im different. yesterday one of my friend check on my finger prints, and I have so many spiral pattern, she say a person with so many spiral pattern on their fingerprints are different, and have the artistic talent.
of course I believe that, I always knew Im different. but I also realize, I always try to be normal and usual.
in clothing, I try to be casual as I can be.
in crowded place, I try to be invisible and not drawing an attention.
I hate exhibition my work in real world even its necessary.
I hate being the center of attention.

in my works, I have so many ideas, but I pressure the ideas in my mind,so it will be normal as it can be.

while I know, true artist, share their vision and try make people understand, and not the opposite like me, trying to make sumthing that people understand.

now after I realize why Im doing this.

I feel Im not capable to inspire, I feel that Im not capable to be 'special' 'edgy' 'different' and 'amazing' artist.
I will always be that 'normal' 'medium' and 'casual' artist.

its really frustrating.

because deep down I want to be special to.

one of my closest friend always tell me.
that Im a creative person, I have so many ideas, but the way I interpret the ideas are so plain. and I should think more to be out of the box, and I shouldn't be scare for what other people think.

I dunno if Im scared.. I just want people understand what Im trying to say.
that's why I make art that so simple and easy to understand.

can I be like that and still be special in the same time?

Medusa, Before and after

2011-07-21T02:32:00.000-07:00

long time ago, there a maiden that are so beautiful, her beauty make all the goddess feel jealous.
the maiden cursed to be a Medusa,her hair turn into snake, and everyone who look at her turned into stone.
including her family and her most beloved one.
torn by saddens and guilt she hide far away form the village.
living in a cave deep in the forest.
the time grew, her sadness, pain and loneliness, turn her heart into darkness.
sometimes at night, she come out from the cave and seek passerby to turn them into stone, not only people, but also animal.
her victim grew lager, and makes the Villager feel threatened and scare.

until a hero named Perseus come to the rescue and fight her.
Perseus manage to kill Medusa.
but before her death and Perseus sword touch her neck, Medusa cried
'look at me' she said with teary eyes.

Perseus look at her head who are no longer dangerous and wondering.
maybe she is not going outside the cave to make the passerby turn into stone?
maybe she just lonely?

Incubus Master : Cover Commission

2011-05-01T10:00:00.000-07:00

Incubus master is a popular erotic illustrated Yaoi novel, Written by Yamila Abraham (Winter Demon, Dark Prince).
and recently I made a cover commission for the Yaoi press and Yamila Abraham herself.
the cover are about Scor and Rowan.
like always after I read the briefing, I always gave my client 2 sketches to interpret the briefing in my visualization, here is the sketch.

Ms.Yamilla approved the second one best, but she ask me to change Rowan face, because I misinterpret Rowan as an hardcore uke, while actually hes a person who are also lusting for Scor, the monster man.

so here the revision and the progress for the cover.

and here is the final result, :D

Im glad when Ms. Yamila said she loved the result, and wanted me to do another cover for her.
yeay for that XD.
mean while If you guys are excited and interested with adult content yaoi story about Incubus master.

Kinara from Garudayana.

2010-07-12T21:15:00.000-07:00

okay.. Im still sick.. I've got fever and its so hard for me to stay working..
so for killing some times I just made this post.. :D
long time ago *lol*, my friend who are one of Indonesian comic artist Is Yuniarto. is having a birthday. and I promise him a fan art.

and Like always, if I draw him a fan art, I always choose his heroine character. XD his heroines character are cute and moe..
this time I will draw Kinara from Garudayana comic book.
a high spirited and energetic treasure hunter.

I want to experiment with the style, so I try to draw Kinara in cheesecake style.. you know like Adam Hughes art.. but my art is nuthing compare to Adam Hughes.. so.. uh.. well..
this is the result.

when I meet Isyun in person and we talked about this fanart, he said he love it,
I change some design and put Kinara weapon pocket in her thighs, and Isyun said its look very sweet..>///< haha
and the style is pretty cheese cake..
so I consider that as a compliment, and my plan to make Kinara as a cheesecake is kinda succeed.. yeaaay!:P
thank you for making me feel better Is! *lol*

and here is a detail shoot from kinara pic.. :D
the line art for this pic are not very tidy.. ^^;

at first I want to make the tutorial or step by step about this pic.. but I forgot.. ;_;Im terrible sorry.. maybe later eh?

This Blog seems dead.. :D

2010-06-01T17:22:00.000-07:00

hmmm Im wonder what Im going to write.. so many good things to me lately.. (well there is a bad thing also, but Im a optimist person, so lets focus on the positive thing okay)

aniweyyy, thank you guys for the suggestion in my previous blog, its really lighten up my heart. I try my best to be discipline.
I always think my self as an lazy ass cat. but people around me sez that im quite productive.. @_@;

is this because I surrounded by phlegmatic people? I dont want to blame my surroundings.. and If I have a problem, that is sumthing that comes inside me..not by others.
but should I find someone with high ambition so I will have the same spirit to? hum.. so many people to look up to..
some one who could slap me in reality when I try to get away from responsible..

I think I need a manager..

Comic or Painting?

2010-05-20T17:43:00.000-07:00

soooo.. this is my dilemma since Im very young..
I really2 like to draw, since the first time I could hold a pencil to draw,its became my hobby than, and maybe more, because drawing for me is like eating and drinking, I cant live without it every day.

that hobby also turn me into a comic artist,while back then when Im young, I always believe Im going to be a painter.

being comic artist is the best thing that ever happens to me, its like a goal in my life, I want to be a comic artist! I'll risk my live to achieve those goal,and I know I will die in pain if i stop being a comic artist :D

but than I realize, here in my country, comic artist is not a kinda job that could support my live.. I have to find another job.. I know actually if my love are that big for being a comic artist, I should move to another country where comic artist will live ever after with the dream job right..? unfortunately I also in love with my home city Bandung. and I wont leave it just like that.. ^^;.
I will try the best I can so I can be a wealthy comic artist and in the same time still life happily her in Bandung.. (greedy) :D

anywei, as you know, not only trying hard to be a comic artist, I also doing illustration and painting to support my live.
I like painting to, hey its a basic of drawing, and actually doing comic and painting are also a drawing. so I must be very happy I could make money from sumthing I dear the most right..
well yeah, Im extremlyyyyy happy.. but the problem is.. (why people always have a problem even if their life is perfect i wonder.. =_= ) I cant focus between doing comic and painting.

I want to be a great comic artist, ad how greedy I am, I want to be a great painter to, and if I can learn both in the same time, I wont complain like this..
the time that people use for learning how to paint, i use it to draw a comic.
and time that people use to produce a comic, I use it to learn painting.. *A*
its feel like I don't go anywhere... my friend said that my art improve..I know its improving.. but I know I could improve way much faster if I focused in just one subject.

its feel like people leaving me behind, and Im so freaking slow..
my heart feel hurt, Im jealous and envy seeing so many person around me having so much achievement in subject they focusing on.

and how about me?Im torn in two...

agh I complain to much *catslap*

well at least Im happy with Im doing right?
aheyyyy~

The RED inside me..

2010-04-27T20:00:00.000-07:00

sumthing is wrong with my self.. am I began to get older, am I lost my enthusiasm? am I no longer RED?

I just realize my work ethic is gone..
yes I play to much..
Im lack of discipline.
I wasting my time.
I feel like I have a lot of pressure on my shoulder.

I dont want to complain to much, but I need to let out my feelings, despite someone is reading this post or not..

okay.this what I feel now.

Im extremely jealous and envy to certain person who have great ability and success.. the little cunning person inside me said this is not fair, while my logic sense tell me, everything happens for a reason. If the same success and ability haven't come to me, thats is mean I dont work hard enough. the problem is, Im to lazy or I have to much excuses. =_=a.

how should I solve this?
being a hermit, stay out from the internet,internet could be poisonous sometimes, stick to the schedule, and having a great mental that will push me being a discipline, and dont keep piling task, the faster a project done, is the better for me.

Im having a weight problem, when Im younger and poor, Im so freaking skinny and malnourished.. (seriously ^^; )
I always wanted to be more fat and have ideal weight. now after I have enough money for my self, I realize Im over weight. >.<
everything seem so heavy, and everything seem makes me twice lazier than before, lack of sport, to much sleep, bad eating habit.. *sigh*

I read this comic about mangaka, they said all mangaka is overweight because all they do is just sleep and eat.. =_=a but that not an excuses for me, I shouldn't make myself being overweight like this just because I wanted to be a mangaka *catslap*

to solve this problem I should try to get exercise, having a good eating habit, dont get to much sleep, and be discipline (not again )

even they say routine is good for your body and brain, but I hate routine, I get used to do what ever I want and when I want to, its worsen now after I live on my own, nowbody tells me what I supposed to do, and no more house chorse (that's mean more lack of sport.. =_=a )

okay this is bad..

I want to be RED again, I have to lighten up the fire inside me, I want to be burn once again, I want to be active and energetic,I want to be a workaholic again.. (lol)

Im Archie The RedCat.
and Im going to start a flame..mhwahaahahhahahaha!!

morning walk

2010-03-03T16:16:00.000-08:00

Every morning, about 7o'clock, me and Aulia are doing our daily routine, walk around the neighborhood, just to do some sport (because we artist never go sport.. =_=a)
this is the new neighborhood and where I live, I live in Taman Hewan Area, Bandung West java Indonesia.
the place are very near with Bandung City zoo, and this area are the forest area in Bandung, there so many trees and fresh air, the place is old and its very scary when night comes.the animal on the zoo are keep making weird noises, and many people witness ghost in this area.. *lol

but Its a very beautiful place, its fresh and green, and very strategic place to, this place are near to one of the most famous and biggest Institute in Indonesia, ITB, its near to the zoo, Its near the biggest book store in Bandung, and its got a lotsa lotsa lotsa cheap and super delicious food.. ^^

well let me give you tour to my daily walking route..shall we?

this where I start, this is my neighborhood, near to my rent room, Its almost a slump area but not to slump. we call it Kampung, or small village, the people who live here are not rich, its have many small houses, many rent room for collage student because its near the institute, many little children. many chicken and wild cats.. =_=a its very noisy sometimes, but nonetheless its a good place to live for a poor comic artist like me.. :D and I cant complain.. :P

the morning view are still beautiful, its not tidy or clean, but it have really great exotic atmosphere.. that is what I think.. and that stairs go ups are really pain in the ass.. but very good to burn your fat.. XD

this is Gelap Nyawang street, is very2 dark and scary at night but have a green view in the morning.. :)

this is dago park..

its still morning but the traffic are very busy.. XD

this is where the rich people live, Kyai gede street, all the houses here are big and luxury, all the people have 3 car or more. its ironic how slump area and luxury area are near to each other?^^;

this is the ITB institute, very popular, and have old massive architecture.. its build since the 20th era, but I only take picture the boring ones.. ahhaha

this is Salman area, a park beside a mosque, there a cheap cafeteria there and Im intend to go there for get my breakfast. xD

and look a horse.. :P, yes there are horse around everywhere.. careful you might step on their poop.

and if you notice, I only take picture of the street.. why? because I take the picture while walking and see straight in front of me.. hahahaha

Im lame I know.

How to deal with arrogance people.

2010-01-24T14:14:00.001-08:00

copy paste from here

How to Deal with Arrogance
Out of all the difficult behaviors we can think of arrogant people win the prize. They know exactly how to ask a
question, sigh or even look at us in a way that makes us feel like we’re nothing. What’s worse, they seem to be at
their peak in group settings. They tend to use public forums to make a joke at our expense or to overpower us when
we try to make a point. What’s going on with these people? And more importantly, how do we deal with them?

First, understand that behind every superiority complex is one emotion: Fear. What are arrogant people afraid of?
Everything. People who seem full of themselves are insecure and they compensate by bragging and overpowering.
They make others feel bad in order to make themselves feel better. Arrogant people suffer most from the number
two fear in America (second only to death): Rejection. Beneath the surface they are afraid that people will find out
they are not brilliant, wonderful and talented. The irony is that in truth they may be all of these things, but they don’t,
in their hearts, believe it.

Think about a person you know who is confident (not arrogant). Does this person have to tell you four times a day
how smart she is? Does she overpower others? Does she make others feel stupid? On the contrary, confident
people empower others because they feel comfortable with themselves. So, now that we know why people are
arrogant, it’s time to deal with them. Here are a few strategies for you to try:

You can start with the open-close approach. This is a simple, non-combative tactic for drawing attention to the
problem. Let’s say a colleague takes a cheap shot at you in the presence of others. Turn to him and ask him an
open-ended question in a level, inquisitive tone: “What do you mean by that?” This question forces him to explain his
behavior. Sit quietly and wait for his response. He’ll probably say it was just a joke or try to further the attack. Note
that in doing so, his inappropriate behavior will become apparent to everyone else in the room. At this point be clear
with what you want by making a closed statement in one sentence. “I think that’s inappropriate, and I hope you’ll
refrain from comments like that.” Then move on. This gives him no room to respond, but clearly shows him and
everyone else in the room what you want. Do not worry about seeming tough to everyone else in the room. People
do not have to like you; they have to respect you.

For a more direct approach try the searchlight. This should only be done in private, and you want to make sure that
you are in a neutral place, like the office conference room, or even outside of the office in a quiet café. Start by
explaining that you think there is tension in the relationship and you want to clear it up. Ask open ended questions
and try to get to the heart of the matter. He may not admit that there’s a problem or be honest about his feelings, but
try to listen between the lines. If he says something like “you take everything too seriously” understand that he may
simply be on the defensive and that your way of reacting may heighten his fears. Ask him for examples and specific
suggestions on how to improve the dynamic. If he refuses to be forthcoming, you can ask him to refrain from
behaviors that offend you. Remember to document the entire conversation when it’s over; you made need if for this
next approach.

Plan B is not a pretty tactic, but sometimes it’s all you’ve got. It’s a public and private one-two punch. This is when
you give an ultimatum in private and you refuse to accept inappropriate behavior in public. Every time you get that
smirk, interruption or overpowering comment, call him on it using words like “unacceptable” or “unprofessional.” Do
not ask a question or give him the opportunity to respond. If he makes an embarrassing comment, look at him and
say, “That is completely unprofessional.” One sentence is enough. Don’t argue; just move on. Then privately
address him, letting him know that you are documenting his behavior and will go above his head with the information
if he continues. This approach will make the relationship tense, but it will probably get him to back down. If you feel
apprehensive about using this tactic, try to remember that time when you stood up to the bully in the play ground.
Only then did you realize how afraid he was to fight.

No matter which approach you choose remember one thing: You can control how arrogant people impact you. To
quote Eleanor Roosevelt, “No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.” No one can make you feel
anything for that matter. So, try to focus on the fact that arrogance is the other person’s problem, fear, and envy --
and thankfully, not yours.

well said it! :D

How to Solve Problem with client?

2009-12-09T14:28:00.000-08:00

Okey here is the problem, for more then ten moth I lost contact with my client via note on DA, the problem is, the client is haven't pay me none, so I cant start working the commission (although is been a half progress and the client knows it ) and even I already send note for asking the payment, the client never reply.

eniwey, yesterday after waiting for almost a year, I decide to send a note again, asking the commission status, threat the following client if refuses to pay I will tell all the people that this is just a scam and bla2.

than the client surprisingly noted me back with furious,the client are very mad, saying Im the one who never note, complain about how I behave, how I accused in a wrong and rude way bla2.. I surprise how the client react about my note.. and make me feel bad about it..

well the client also said that the payment already send half, and all this time that the client who always waiting my respond..

*sigh*

so I copied the last note I send, asking why there is no reply, I also send my paypal transaction, prove that is no payment during the time the client said that the payment has on the current date..

Im very regretful if the note that I send to the client earlier are rude and not polite in someways.. but I demand to have some explanation.

if the client already pay me, why there is no confirmation anyway?and why the client never reply after this long?

until now the client haven't reply to my note again even the client already read the note I send.. and I feel Im kinda paranoid.. +_+ I dun wanna ended up hurting others.. but right now..I think I feel kinda hurt to..

and the conclusion is..

how Im going to solve this problem if its hard to get a reply?
should I keep nagging the client for asking an explanation?

phew.. I hope this problem solve soon.. so I could gladly blacklisted the following client..

Tutorial :how to draw chibi

2009-12-01T09:47:00.000-08:00

okay this is chibi commission that I made for miss Ama , and as I promised to dear Sarah, I will show my chibi coloring technique.

in this tutorial I dont show what kinda brush I use, if you follow my others tutorial, you will realize I always use the same brush, just like I use for this one to.. XD, so I think it doesn't matter if I dont describe the brush, but I will try to explained this tut as much as I can.
for this tut you need a pen tablet and painter/photoshop program.
well then... here we go.. XD
just click the pic to get much bigger view

step 1

made a chibi sketch, this is my chibi proportion, look more tall that size deformed (SD),well yeah... because its chibi or child body.. XD
btw, the bigger the head, the cuter it gets.. but its just a matter of taste.. mine are not very big I think.. :D

step 2

after I ink the sketch, I block the whole colored area, with any kind of colour I want, than lock the layer options into transparancy, and randomly gave all the additional basic colors.

step 3

added the shading and lighting, looks very random yeah? well it is.. =_=a

step 4

add details, and of course the hair to, I always using big to small brush for adding the details, and if there is any lines or stroke that I didn't like, I just use blender to smooth it and it will look like gradation.. :D

step 5

-Christmas cover coloring book
-finished the LUV comic (inked 140 page, toned 190 page, make the back and front cover to )
-9 chibi commission
-11 comic page for Ariade
-next chapter of broken winter???

For LUV comic project, I wanted it to be finish in the end of this moth, is sound very much impossible, but it wont hurt me to have highs hope right.. XD, I dunno if I could spare some times for the commission tough, especially if Kale already send me the script for Broken winter.. arghhhh im going to die...X_X
but there is no time to die people! just roll as fast as I can!!

but I gotta make some work management plan or sumthing to make this work, stop fooling around and get everything serious..*sigh*
will I be able to do that?
I hope so *crossing fingers* (hey.. if my finger cross I wont be able to work! )

The Client always right?

2009-11-03T16:08:00.000-08:00

I read from the freelancer.com, than NO client not always right.. especially if they ask sumthing crap and we just dont like it..

buuuut in my position.. I think I'll go what ever that suit me the best.. I mean there's are many factor to do what Clients want.. and we use discussion to.. so its win-win solution..

but sumtimes. when I get low paying jobs, I will lower my skill so the client will afford it, or maybe lower my skill just because the client really want my style look like that.

and I do it. because its the best for both of us, and for material factor, it will benefit me..
but for the other factor.. I feel like crap! =A=, my ego feel so damn hurt man.. I know I could done sumthing better but when the result are to simple for my taste Im kinda feel eww..and if the people know that Im the one who made that crap.. ugh its gonna be so humiliating..
XD hahha

but after the times flies I think I can manage that.. work in this business there is sumthing more than ego and pride as an artist.. and I should bare that..

btw 3 project are done I guess.. two more are still waiting for aproval.. but I think I could a bit more relax than before.. :D
one of the projects is a Broken Winter, you can click it to find out what it is..

and another one is this..

do you think is crapy?

its for the children coloring book, I still have to wait for the approval or maybe some revision.. I so hope there will be no revision.. *sigh.. =_=

2009-10-30T01:29:00.000-07:00

actually I want to posted some recipe and bento picture.. but I haven't had the chance.. (sory for everyone that already requested for the recipe )right now Im juggling into more than 5 project at once..

I read in the here that freelancer tend to take job more than he/she could afford to be done..
I think I got the same case.. +_+; *pheeew

now all I have to do is slowly finish everything all I might..step by step and pray everything is done perfectly so I can take a nap again..
HAHAHAH

after quit for my studio, I always think that I could lazy around and stuff, surprisingly Im busier than before.. :D is that a good news or bad?
who knows..(I think is a good thing because my income rising to.. XD yeaaay! )

there are some problem with my body, my shoulder hurt like hell, and now I cant drawing for fun. *i have no time.. * sob..sob..

but no time to cry,, lets rollll people!!

REVISION, again and again..

2009-10-26T15:04:00.000-07:00

do you like revision?

I dont..

life will be so much easier without this.. *lol* naaah just kiding.. I know revision is an important part of drawing. very important indeed because its help you to make your skill and your drawing, became better and better again right?

but some time, I hate the revision, especially when it came from work.. a cheap payment work to..
I feel like.. how dare they gave me such a revision for such a low paying jobs.. *sigh*

I hate when the client cannot say what is in mind, dunno what the hell they want me to draw, just thingking, maybe this good, try this.. or no try that.. no.no.no.. I want it like this...

WATDEPAK!!

seriously, made up your mind will you, and if you cannot, please describe what you want clearly so I can understand.. *geez*

aand the most upsetting part is.. the work are all been approved. but then you see sumthing wrong.. and hey.. draw it all over again will you? fix this part..

WHAT THE HEll?? why dont you just say it form the beginning if you don't like that part.. whyyy I have to fix it all over again when its all already done GODDAMMIT!??

and all you can say is sorry..sorry..sorry.. blah!
pay me more if you say you sorry..+_+

grrrrr

that kinda stuff really ticking my nerve.. make me upset! damn.. I know its minor revision.. but if its still continue like this, I wont cooperate anymore.. nuff said!

Chrismast Coloring book

2009-10-21T16:20:00.001-07:00

this what Im struggling to finish for this past day, a coloring book for some local publisher..

this is the fourth time they ask me to made a coloring book, that is mean, I sort of useful for them right? XD.. the payment are pretty cheap for my range, but its okay because the task are very easy, the revision some how not make me want to slap the editor (sometimes) and I can work on this at my spare time because the deadline kinda sloooow like a snail.

most of all, I can save money for bad times,or just save it for the future..

but the problem is..
(why its have to be a problen in every task I working on? ^^ I wonder.. )

the drawings and everything are so damn boriiiing.. I dont have any mood or spirit to finish this all I might.. yes I think this job is piece a cake.. and its make me bored to death..
so the process are very..very slow.. its very humiliating seeing my work progess like this, I really wanted to slam myself to the floor for being such ignorant bastard, lazy, snob, and wasting time.. this is so not professional and I dont have good work ethics..

Im so lame I want to punish my self, blame my self and my reaction and response to this job, make me not proud for what I am.

this is humiliating ..

maybe you think Im to hard to myself..
and I know sumtimes its okay to feel lazy an bla bla bla if we finding a job that we dont like and whatever..

but the problem is..

I think..
if I have the courage to take this job, than I have to be ready for all the consequence, I have to be responsible..
and I supposed to take this job seriously, and working on it as best as I could..
most of all, the job I take supposed to make me happy.. if its not.. than what is the point I take the job..
so..
be happy RC..
*slap..slap..slap*

Never Stop Dreaming..

2009-09-28T22:00:00.000-07:00

not just ordinary dream, and don't end up to be a daydreamer..
but this dream is sumthing you want in life, sumthing that you try to achieve.

My dream is to be a Manga Artist.. maybe you guys so freaking bored to hear this.. haha

but yeah.. its my dream since Im in junior high school.. some people said.. Im already get what I dreaming of.. well I said its not entirely achieved.. but at least Im on my way to do that..:D

remembering the old times, when I'm still young and ambitious, I really wanted to share my history back than when I'm still dreaming..:d
I'm started to draw since Im very young.. and born from not very much rich family..
I'm in love wih comic and story book when Im in elementary school.. maybe younger.. but our family economic problem cant let me to buy plenty of book of stuff..

I'm a book worm since I'm a kitten, I spend so many hours on library, any kind of it.. I make fried with my neighbor just because my neighbor have lotsa books, and when what Im doing is only sit in the corner of her library instead of playing with her.. she ditch me out.. hahaha

the urge to having my own Comics and book make me became creative, I decide to make my own book, making my own story,. only few pages of story, I draw and colored it my self.. that is happen on elementary school..

I still remember the title and the story the first story I made.
its about a caterpillar who is raised by the dragonfly family, and beiing ditch out by their family becouse the caterpillar change into cocoon. the cocoon drop into a bucket of red paint.. and from that bucket suddenly come out a beautiful red butterfly.. hahahhaha (weird eh? and so when I stil young I already obsessed with red )

I keep making story, and the illustration also.. my friend and classmate loved the book I made..
until at Junior high.. I meet a friend who can draw manga.. she teach me sumthing that is more that illustration book..manga/comic concept using lotsa picture in every panel.. more picture in only one page.. and if she could made her own manga.. that is mean I can do the same..

so I start drawing manga, using just pencil and note book..

than its escalate into HVS papper and using ink to make my manga..

when I'm in senior high school.. I dare enough to submit my works to magazine and newspaper.. the response is wonderful.. I even got extra money.. I'm getting ambitious to became a mangaka..

than finally in year 2003 I try to submit My own manga into some publisher.. 200 pages of manga.. fully Manual.. the publisher accepted the manga, and it sell quite a lot, in the same time I also make my own studio with friends. and published one manga tittle with them..

the studio activity then became my main interest.. I always working and publish comic works under my studio name.. drawing illustration and manga/comic became my main job..

but that not good enough for me.. Petshopbox studio are getting famous in manga world, but Archie the RedCat name fading away..
the studio job increase more than just mere illustration and comic. its change into merchandise shop, retails, and stuff. the vision of the Studio also change into sumthing I dont like.. and make me far..far away from my goal into becoming Manga artist..
it hard and very sad for me.. but than I decide to quit from my own studio that I build from scratch..

I decide to fight on my own.. in my own way.. standing in my own feet
if I could publish my own comic book in 2003 I have the chance to do the same now..
even tough its scary.. even though there is so many obstacle..

I know my dream going to became true once again..
yesterday the editor already gave me the contract..
than is make me brave enough to say..

Archie the RedCat is back people..
are you guys ready for me?
:)

How to be Happy

2009-08-17T03:39:00.000-07:00

I just read earlier that there's a law to be a happy person..and you cant be a happy person if you don't apply to this 7 law of happiness. what is the law anywey? I always think Im a happy person...well let see about it than, am I a happy person or not? well if I'm not, I think I will be one after I know what the law is..
they said, the 7 law of happiness is :

-Patience
hum.... EPIC fail.. I'm not a patience person.. =_=; I always wanted to have something fast and instant, I don't waste any time to get what I want.. @_@; uh..oh.. that what's make me always in the rush until I do it in complete mess and ruining everything..that sort of ruining my happiness to is it?

-gratefulness
hum, this one I could do it. even sometimes I cant help my self feeling jealous toward someone or sumthing, but my jealousy still in the normal state, I usually a very gratefully person.. God gave me to many treasure in my life, I cant enough to say thanks :D

-Simplicity
hum.. I dunno waht its supposed to mean.. live in simple life? (paris hilton?? HA..HA.. =_=; ) rrr.. I think my life is simple.. (because im not rich. 3_3; ) but maybe if I have a lotsa money in my pocket I don't, I spend it to buy expensive and plentyyyyy of food.. :D
well that because when Im still poor cat is hard to buy food, and sumtimes I let myself hunger.. ^_^;.so today when finally I have my own salary, I spend it to buy food, a lil bit over react actually..my biggest expense is for food, and not for surviving.. hahah ..ugh.. I gotta to change that.. :D

-Love
rrrrr became a player? HA..HA..HA.. Heuuu.. hm..hm... I dunno if Im full of love person or not, Im very picky.. if I like someone, I will gave all my care and my love to that person.. but if I dont have any intention,or any feeling toward that person.. Im sort of dont know, and dont care if that person exist.. cruel ne? argh.. gotta change my perspectif for love to../_\;

-Giving
Im not a stingy person.. :d even, Im sort of the opposite, but that only to the poor people who need it and to people I love, if I don't recon you, don't care, and don't have any feeling to you, and you are curently a freaking rich and wealthy.. you wont get anything from me.. hahhaha..

-surrender
surrender to what? to live? to everything? HELL NO! I wont surrender to anything except GOD

-to forgive..
hum, this is sound nice.. and a good thing rite? but this is the hard thing to do.. I actually never think about it, if someone made sumthing bad to me, or anything.. I maybe furious, but I easily forget about it, but that doesn't meant I forgive, if the case are really2.. really bad, and even I forget about it.. but than, in the future I accidentally remember it again.. I will feel angry and mad again.... aaah I have to learn how to forgive..

hum.. hum.. reading all of the above.. its telling me that I actually, NOT a happy person..
whaaaaaaaaaaaaaat..
I always though Im a happy-go-lucky-cat, I almost dont have any problem in live, I have a nice familly, good friend, great lover and amazing job..so what is wrong with me...
is it becouse Im a freking selfish person? is it because I always in denial..? (I dunno what I'm deny tough)..
ah weird.. but anyway, I will try to to that 7 law of happines that is suit for me.. My happines, is mine, and I'm the only person who can tell Im happy or not..

rite GOD?

HOW TO ORDER

Blueberry

2009-07-13T21:46:00.000-07:00

yes its blueberry, not Blackberry, that weird cellphone that been invading my country and I dunno the reason why.. (God its very expensive.. o_0)

do you know that berries family have so many antioxidant that are very healthy for our body? serving blueberries in our dish have more of the antioxidant power to fight aging, cancer, and heart disease.

but its hard to find blueberry in Indonesia, especially to find the fresh one, but Im lucky yesterday I found it on the market,its already became a blueberry jam but its okay.. :D I plan to eat it in my oatmeal,but earlier I wondering what should I eat for lunch, I still have some egg, and also still have a wheat, and a milk. so I put the oatmeal later and decide to made a pancake because its super easy...(its more easy than made and oatmeal, cooking oatmeal are very boring.. >_>)

I dont made the pancake have fancy serving like I usually does to my food, but I still take a picture of it.. :D

hehe

here in case you wanted to try the recipe (I dont use grams to precise the amount, because I just cook basic on my feeling.. ^^; )

1 tea cup of milk
1 tea cup of wheat flour
1 egg
1 tea spoon of honey (in case you wanted it to be super sweet, becouse the blueberry jam already sweet)

mixed up in the all the ingredient

pour it into a frying pan.. :) in a small fire please, just wait until it half cook

than, I spread the blueberry jam, put some melting cheese that already cut really2 small, I folded the pancake.. and let it cook a bit..and its done, its easy,its fast and supeeer delicious..
yummm the sensation when the blueberry and the cheese melting together in my mouth..

haha

btw, right now, I cant open my facebook, my Deviantart, and my multiply.. its worsen than yesterday.. >_>;

sigh...

Im trying to working one of the commission, and planing to finish it, and send it to the client as soon as possible, I hope the internet dont mes up with meh.. :(
and I cant open my paypal to,,,,

*sob..sob..*

My friend from the yahoo Messenger (from Indonesia), tell me he experience the same thing, and when I checking out my friend status bar, they are all upset because the internet connection are suck..

not only this is frustrating, but what happen to my job??? I've got a deadline today for one of my commissioner and I already promise to finish the pic now.. but I cant upload anything to DA.. *A*

huks.. hiks.. its so terrible sloooooow.. I know that I have plenty of notes on DA that waiting for me.. but I cant get to them..>_< I think the best way for me now is to wait..*sigh
GOD! why Indonesia having stupid connection like this?? why... oh whyyyyy

and the problem is.. HOW could I notify all My client about this problem.. argh..argh..

How to Edit Sketch with Photoshop

2009-07-06T21:09:00.000-07:00

this is Fantasy Sketch Tutorial.. :) so many step, but its all are simple and easy, I hope this tut will help.. :D

first, this is the sketch that I already scan and put it into potoshop, the yellow/orange lines are the layout that I made with coloured pencil before I started the sketch. the file are made into RGB mode.

type ctrl+l (level command) this is to make the line from the pencil more black, and the grey tones, turn into more withe, because the scanner result dont catch the whole lines, the level command make the lines become more visible and strong.

type ctrl+ U this is hue/saturation command, turn he saturation into -100,I use this so the yellow/orange from color pencil became grey.

type ctrl+b, into the pencil mode, and with white colours, I clean the grey area that I dont wanted to be on the pic.

after I clean up everything, this is the result

the pic is on the background layer, and its locked, to change it, I simply copy the background into 'background copy', throw away the background, and make another one by copy the 'background copy', into 'background copy 2'.

I change the layer 'background copy 2'. who are on top layer 'background copy'. into Gaussian blur.

the layer 'background copy 2' who are now became blur,I change it into screen mode, and adjust the opacity.

on top layer layer 'background copy 2' 2' I add another layer (layer one) change it into overlay mode and put so many colours in 'layer 1' as I like with big round soft airbrush ^_^..

I found some nice texture , drag it to the pic

the texture layer (layer 2) are placed in the bottom layer, and I change the layer 'background copy' into overlay mode. change the 'layer2' opacity, so the colour not that strong, and the pic merge nicely with the texture..

and its all done. :D

the sketch : step by step

blaber mouth

2009-07-04T19:15:00.000-07:00

lagi pengen pake bahasa indonesia.. :(

I like to cook.. padahal gw orangnyah praktisan dan nggak suka sama yang repot2..
tapi gw doyan masak.. apalagi kalo hasilnyah enak dan bikin ketagihan sampe badan inih akhirnyah membulat.. :D

sebel banget deh liat iklan2 sekarang, cereal instant, mi instant, susu instant,bubur instan, nasi instant..
huaaaah kenapa serba instant gituh??

belom lagi kecap yang pake penyedap rasa, minuman berpengawaet, terus kalo bumbu masakan nggak pake bumbu penyedap, macam royco, masako , dan kawan2nyah ituh, kayaknyah nggak apdol deh..
hueeeg..

pantesan ajah bayak mutan sekarang.. manusia makin aneh, otaknyah maupun badannyah.. coba lihat angka bayi cacat yang lahir jaman sekarang dengan jaman dulu??

sekarang manusia banyak yang g keberatan mengkonsumsi makanan racun tiap hari.. hanya dengan alasan lebih praktis.. bleeh

kalo makan diluar (dicafe, warteg, dll) kadang suka pusing sendiri.. rasanyah ituh looh bumbu penyedapnyah kebanyakan.. @_@; dari kecil.. karena orang tua pegawai kesehatan. makan dirumah nggak pernah pake bumbu penyedap.. makanyah lidah gw terbiasa ama makanan bebas peyedap.. jadi sensitip banget ama MSG.. kalo makan MSG kebanyakan suka berasa pusing dan pengin muntah..
makanyah gw suka masak sendiri, dibandingkan jajan diluar.. pertama,hemat duit, kedua bisa milih2 bahan dan bumbu apa ajah yang dimasuki ke dalam makanan, ketiga bisa eksperimen dan berkarya, keempat bisa ngelatih banyak skill, sense, kesabaran, ketekunan, dan kebersihan..

they says cooking its an art.. I agree 100%.. gw menikmati merubah makanan,mencampur aduknyah suka2. dan jreng.. tiba2 jadi makanan yang rasanyah enak..

but,gw bukan ahli masak.. sering kali masakan gagal, meskipun masih layak santap.. tapi kadang2 ada juga yang beneran ancur sampe harus berakhir di tong sampah..;_;hiks

but fear not! its wont stop me from cooking..setidaknyah.. nanti kalo gw punya anak, gw bisa masakin buat tu anak2 masakan bebas pecin, just like my mom did, and I could made so many healthy and delicious food for my children the future.. is that great dreams or what?

sedih banget liat seseorang yang tiap hari makan mie buat survive, kalo gak cuman ceplok ndog, ato nasi goreng masako.. hiksss pantesan kamu kurus ajah sayang..pengen de tiap hari masakin buat kamu sampe kamu membulat juga dan sehat berseri2.. makanan sehat dan enak kaga perlu mahal2.. keluarga tempe dan tahu, sehat luar bisa dan rasanyah enak kalo mengolahnya tepat.. daging ayam dan ikan, lebih murah dan sehat dibanding daging..

kalo ngak punya duit dan pengen hemat, ambil ajah kaldunyah dan potong kecil2 buat jadi pendamping masakan sayur ato sop..

I like to cook.. tapi gw pengen orang2 juga like to cook, come ooon its not that hard,kalo ngak terbiasa gimana bakalan bisa?
gw pengen kamu juga bisa masak, setidaknyah bisa lebih bertanggung jawab sama apa yang masuk kedalam tubuh kamu, kalo bisa masak.. nggak usah makan mie instan tiap hari.. kan jelek atuh... nggak sehat.. sumber segala penyakit..
huks..huks..
waaaaaaaaaaaaah inih curhat paling nggak jelas seumur-umur..

*roll over on the floor.. jump... and fly to the invinityyyy

**btw.. kameranyah dipake ama adik.. jadi nggak bisa poto2 makanan lagih..
huks.. huks.. padahal kemarin bikin salad, terus fruty oatmeal.. servingnyah didandanin lucu.. *A*.. uhuks.. sayang gak dipoto..

nying bencong banget seh gw..

my high protein lunch..

2009-07-01T19:05:00.000-07:00

this is all because that animation movie by pixar that I seen recently.. "ratatouille"
I decide to made my food serving look much much better.. and since I have a pocket camera. I cant restrain my self to take picture of it..

all the food are made by my self, and its very2 simple and easy.. cooking is like art, so I enjoy it so much.. :D

this is smoked beef egg..

ingredients :
2 slice smoked beef
1 egg
onion (as you like)
paprika/cabe merah dikeluarin bijinyah ) as you like
quick melt cheese/mozzarella (as you like)
tomatoes (as you like )
vegetable oils/butter

sauce
tomato sauce,
chili sauce
mayonnaise

how to cook:

-put the vegetable oil,(one tea spoon)wait until its hot, than put the 2 sliced smoked beef (remember the fire should be small dont over heat ) while waiting for the smoked beef, stir up the onion, tomatoes,and paprika until its smell good.(in the same frying pan because its huge.. :D lotsa place to cover.. )
-put the vegetable in on top of the smoked beef with spoon..
-cover it with raw egg.
- on top the egg we put another smoked beef.
(so its like smoked beef sandwich with the egg and vegetable inside )

because i like it medium, its doesn't take to long to cook, I like it when I cut this smoked beef egg,and the hot liquid yellow egg coming out from the each side.. uuum yumieeeh

for the sauce, just mix the tomato sauce, the mayonnaise and chili sauce as you like.. put it on top the smoked beef egg..

and viola! its ready to serve! :)

My lovely Breakfast

2009-07-01T18:47:00.000-07:00

tsukurimashoooou tsukurimashouuu sate..sate nani ga dekiru kana....

haiii dekimimashita..

because Im bored and and lazy lately, I put my interest in sumthing else.. cook.. yes.. I loved to eat a lot, so eventually I have to know how to cook..(if I dont wanted to end starving or dump my self in junk food restaurant.. )

today my experiment is on bread.. its a brown bread, dipped in milk, stir up in saucepan with a lil fire/heat, add a bit honey and apple juice.. until the liquid(milk and apple juice become creamy /mengental/ sa'at basa sunda na mah)

if you dont have any brown bread, use the edge of the bread that kids usually hate..

the result of this meal is.. its soft and tender,its melting in your mouth, its creamy, its sweet but the apple juice flavor make its have fresh taste..(manis-manis, dikit asem gimanaaaaa gituh.. dan yang pasti sih harum apel.. :D )

well its delicious, and most of all.. so freaking easy to made! only take 5-10 min or so.. :D

btw, this also could be a snack at night if you wanted to, just replace the apple juice with ginger,, its warm snack at night with highly protein and fat.. *lol

care to try?

2009-07-01T09:42:00.000-07:00

why I keep delaying this work, and not finish it as soon as possible?
why my laziness have to control my mood like this..
if I keep on lazy, if I keep finding excuse, I wont be able became a success in the future right?

but why its so hard.. doing sumthing that I dont like.. its feel like my heart been stabbed every time i draw the line.. *hyperbolic..
but yeah.. it is hurt doing sumthing I dont like.. even if it also a drawing work..
Im such a spoiled brat..

I wont give up.. I just have to get on and do it!!
Im embarrass to the editor who willing to wait me finish so patiently..
aaah I have to stop being so irresponsible like this..

just tell me what Im supposed to do, to erase my lazy behavior?

2009-06-22T08:00:00.000-07:00

Im really2 glad that I could draw.. when Im feeling down or lonely.. I always run to the saves place I could be.. drawing..
it cheer up my mood, and its help me forget the bad things I feel..
some how, drawing drawn me to the place where nobody can enter.. Im in my own world.. and having fun of course..
but after the drawing is done. Im back to the real world.. and have to deal with the problem than getting harder day by day..

its weird how people usually want to forget their problem and runaway. that's happen to me to.. but I learn that problem will still there no matter how far I run..

but at least.. drawing made my feeling get stronger to face the problem..
and Im very much thankful for what God bless me.. and giving me this ability..

rite now..
I just dont want to take my sorrow to my sleep..

so..
good night everyone..
*continue drawing
