Eye Of The Beholder

Sorry for the slow update. Been busy.

















:)

Draw

Finally found time to churn out a new comic :)

I bought a Wacom Bamboo Fun and decided to do this entry entirely in Flash and export the drawings to JPEG. Took longer than expected. I experienced a new-found freedom in illustrating but at the same time, I also discovered it wasn't as easy to colour the drawings in Flash compared to Photoshop. I missed the flexibility of drawing on paper and being able to flip the paper around to tackle those odd angles. I pressed Ctrl+Z (undo) so many times while drawing that I lost count. Heh.

Dry Spell

Apologies for the slow updates. Been occupied with some things and Ol' Dan's brain juice needs a top-up too, heh. To the regular readers, Pai-seh ah. :)

STAR WARS & Me - 501st Legion

By now some of you would have known I'm a Star Wars costumer via my entry on the Chingay Parade. But what you may not know is that I'm part of an international costuming organisation known as the 501st Legion, which specialises in costuming as the Imperial forces from the Star Wars movies. Singapore has its own 'garrison' with 34 members.

Today's Straits Times LIFE! features our garrison as part of their write-up on the subculture of hardcore fans. Ol'Dan can be spotted in the photos (see below):

The basic idea for this comic surfaced during idle banter between my brother and I. Have fun:

Chingay 2008 - Star Wars & Me

I participated in (my first ever) Chingay Parade 2008 over 15 and 16 February along with friends from the Star Wars costuming community. Came across some pics (big thanks to the respective photographers) from other sites with me in it:


Above: Ol'Dan looking sinister as an Imperial Officer on the far right. (Click the pic above to view more pics of the Star Wars costumers contingent)


Above: Ol'Dan (far left) marching along with Lord Vader, Emperor Palpatine and other troopers. (Click the pic above to view a larger image)

Our contingent marched into the center of the parade ground at City Hall from the junction between Coleman Street and Saint Andrew's Road but that was minutes before the parade went 'live' at 8pm on Channel 8.

Exhausting but fun.

:D

Lunar New Year 2008 - Day 2 special

Happy Lunar New Year one and all :)

I had an idea on Lunar New Year's eve and drew this comic but didn't have time to colour it until Day 1 festivities were over. Hope you like what you see:
