just had a visit on my own gallery...not more than 10 submission for this year,
it been a busy year or maybe a lazy year throught,
still creating art but different thoughts in my mind,
always thought about what if art not only my occupations?...i always have
that kind of feeling that is something can be done by art beside a job or career...
anyway i will keep thinking about this and tell you guys someday...

having a great month by just doing concept art and still doing it now...
althought i started to miss 3D job...
day after day, im still looking for my own position...

anyway looking forward for 2012,
hope to have a good start again in 2012,
because 2011 not really that great for me....
too many failure....

p/s: hopefully 2012 will not be the end of the day
because there are so many things that i wanted to do....

great year for everyone.... :)

been a year since 15/3/2010(the first day i joined the industry) and i think i should
summarize and come out with a conclusion of myself.

:D it was a busy year for me to get myself catch up the speed and working pipeline.
i'm glad that i been giving chances to get myself involved in most of the tasks including
rigging(very simple kind of rig)...matte painting(before that MP always the nightmare for
me)...compositing and effect(same,very simple but it made me felt no fear to AE anymore)
...and many more that what a CG artist should do.but one thing i really focusing on is why
throughout the entire progress of the year....i learnt a lot but less improvement in skills.
maybe i should slow down a bit to revise back what i been forgotten...

yes!!21st of march also my 10th anniversary with my beloved girlfriend......it just not easy
for both of us...gotta be more serious in life because i will take the responsibility of the
future.blessed love + love's effort = future :D
p/s:time management is your treasure

311 disaster crisis of Japan......pray for Japan and my beloved mother and father over there.
earthquake is the word that i learnt since i'm 7 but only today i started to fear about this
word.i miss them but i could not able to stay beside them.i will never forget what my mother
told me during the huge quake and god please bless Japan and my family.

Almost forget that i want to be a concept artist until i read my
student limelight article

Almost forget what i sholud complete before i go further until my
friend passed me a piece of memo paper

Almost can really overcome the feeling of losing....losing something
that you used to have it

Almost and almost.......

yea...finally im graduated & start working at one of my all time
favourite studio now already. Although my 3D animation final project
have not done yet, but im sure that my team seriously wanted to complete
it no matter it will take how long of our time.

okay...back to my working life...i can say it is great to work under
such a nice studio with atmosphere and culture that really suit me. But
i admit one thing is self discipline & self improvement needed so much
when you go to work.

im not sure it is because of the designation of junior artist now, feel
like now what you doing have to be no longer what you usually can do in
college life. You have to make sure all the works that you do are above
that standard already. im always imagined that i will work under a concept
art studio (although i never apply for any concept art studio), but i took
my lecturer's advise to work in 3D industry first....it does not mean i will
give up concept art....recently keep doing some painting design stuff because
i will work with a lot of great artist & director in the future so i think
i really need so portfolio to support myself to give suggestion with we work
together.....at least make myself to be more persuasive....

So i promised many series of concept art will coming with the progressing of
my final prpject as well.....at least 2010 this whole year will be my portfolio
plus personal & industry learning year.

No rush!!...Just learn everything & sharpen your weapon first!! Thanks in advance  
to Hoi Mun for all his art books...seriously i will go through them and study. No
worry i will take good care on them and i never bring back home.

Planning:Machines design Series
         Character design Series
         Completed concept art series ( seriously matte painting included in this part)
         Back to life drawing study (im sxxk in it)
         Digital Sculpting
         "Chopped" rock it!!

Today we having the last class with Aik Sern for our Final Project Development I....due to the amount of students really that much because a lot of them already went back hometown for the term break holiday.

Instead of a technical class, Aik Sern decided to just having a casual sharing talk for us.He told us a lot of stories that about industry...his studio (somehow I found that he prefer to use his "team" than "studio" maybe he do not really want to categarize all his mates by the post)...and also some feedbacks about further study.

Industry and passionrepublic production team always what I want to know the most as well.Topics about further study not really grab my attention because I know I will not able to support myself for it....however Aik Sern still contributed some interesting information about oversea further study and it really set my mind again to convience myself actually self development also the good way to study.Of course if one day I got my own savings then I think it's good to go once for further study also but for sure not just after my diploma graduation.

About the dream that Aik Sern keep on asking us....I agree with him that so called my dream is not really a dream because I always change it according to different situation.I think I really should take a time to think again about my dream.But one thing that myself is so sure....not only those people that thinking to be someone since he is a kid that only can make it....rather to say so I think I should say I believe I am still able to make it although what I want in the future not what I am aiming since I was a kid.

Before I study in college....art seem to be only one of my hobbies and drawing skill is just like one of my talent and I really never think about how I gonna use it in the future.I just know I can try to use it to draw what I hope to draw on a paper.That's it.....But nowadays,I felt different to it already...because I really love it and suddenly too many things that I want to do with it.Maybe one of those things is suppose to be my dream.

I think I am late to think about my dream because I am just only really love the art in this past 2 years.So all the dreams before this 2 years are no longer what I want.I have to rethink again.

All I said above it just seem like an obstacle to me but I do not really feel it taking down me but from other ways it like motivating me as well.....It's just kind of weird feeling that hard to explain....because it make me not in mood to do my work for now first but just think and think about the problem yet I do not feel any upset as well but I felt abit excited.Anyone can help me to explain this kind of feeling in a line?
