No, the boy was not trying to assassinate Obama.

Here's a public service announcement from psychodevil: Do not give stupid kids stupid ideas.

Now that I have some time, might as well practice.



An update:

last thoughts

Jimmy's last thoughts:

I saw a cactus in the shape of a number 4,

Before my face hit the desert floor

I could hear ants speaking in my ear

“Hey guys, this dude’s time is over”

Poor Jimmy's body burnt in the hot desert and his soul went on to fry in hell...

Made in God's image

Well, I started practising my anatomy drawing. It's important to have all the bloody basics and to achieve that, I bought a damn good anatomy book that costs me $76. *heart pain* I have been sketching since last night, and drawing the male form is a real headache. All those damn muscles especially those on the back. I also wish humans had tentacles instead of hands and feet.

After wasting lots of paper, I decided to try painting something on the comp without looking at any reference. It was supposed to be a normal looking lady but she ended up looking like an Asian hooker. I wonder why...


So far it does not look that bad but I will need to show some people and get some feedback. Took me close to two hours to finish this and it is only black and white... I hate hands.

TO A DRAGON education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire.

And other entertaining dragon quotes found here.

ANYWAY, a friend of mine got me a ticket to see Dragonforce coming May 20th. Since I have not heard their songs before, I was happy that Inhuman Rampage, their new album came 'free' with the ticket and also not forgetting a poster which is right now lying under my bed. Sadly Inhuman Rampage did not hold my attention for long and I had to pop in Slayer to get back to reality.

A long time ago , some human beings and the Internet told me that Dragonforce sucked performing live so I checked Youtube to see if this was true. Hmmm, looks like Dragonforce better clean up their act before they find out that Singaporeans can scold vulgarities in many different languages.

I have always been fascinated by the cover of Show No Mercy. No matter how cartoony the Devil is drawn, it will always piss and frighten religious dudes.



I decided to draw a fanart based on that cover. Before I show you the final picture, let me frighten you with this image which I sketched and outlined before scanning.
Not really the final image but it's aroung 85% done?

Edit 28.04.07 version 2:



I think I somehow failed with this art as it looks cartoony and less intimidating as the original. Oh well. Anyway I made another version which I can print and slide over the original cover. I had no idea I was so vain.



By the way, here are some interesting font websites I found while looking for the Slayer font.

I would rather be poor than impotent

But having some money is still nice. The only highlights of this month have been Sheryl's and my brother's birthdays and so far the rest of this month has been a total shitfest. A silly $50 fine from the Army ( My own goddamn fault) has dampened my spirits and I almost cried a fucking river when my discman fell off the table and is currently suffering from slight memory loss.

Not getting paid on time and soon not going to get paid at all is giving me a headache and late night surfing the Internet while drinking vodka is not improving the headache at all. The loss of a job is not at all bad but it was as unexpected as walking to class and getting shot by a crazy dude. The only dilemma now is, should I improve my portfolio and work on freelance projects or look for another permanent job. Only time will tell. Bookmark this blog to find out what the future has in store for me!

Making matters worse is the lack of inspiration. Sick and tired of staring at empty paper for the past few weeks, I have decided to start from scratch with simple sketches.


This is not a pretty picture but that is not a pretty face. I woke up this morning and drew my ugly mug which has not tasted coffee yet. A photograph of me taken by the CIA a month ago is beside for comparison. Overall it is good practise and I am very fond of the hair. INDEED!

Also I am officially announcing to the Internet that I am starting on my own current project titled 'Heavy Metal Fan'. The idea is to create an artbook of paintings and sketches based on my love for heavy metal. I have yet to draw anything because of the lack of inspiration but I have made some progress with designing the logo. This is version 1. Yay!

Edit version 2: 'A' is now easier to read and does not look like 'C'.



Also progress will definitely be slow since it is just a personal project that I can hopefully sell one day.
