Its been a crazy weekend of drawing and coloring for me now.
Halfway in doing my fourth issue of The Dreamwalker Chronicles now while churning up artworks and concepts for the Australian counterpart of my comic.

Other than that, Rattatoullie is awesome! Go watch it! Makes us all wanna be cooks soon!

I'm just bumming around in my head. My ideas for my next adventure in The Dreamwalker Chronicles series is floating all over.

Other than that, I'm just doing gift arts and other weird stuff all over the place.

Like the title of my post, I'm just having my head in the clouds.

I love that movie. No... actually I love the soundtrack more than the movie.   

Here I am, at my usual net cafe hangout going through this updating blogging shit while waiting for my soundtrack zip file to finish download so I can enjoy my late night drawing fest/orgy hahaha
as indulged in the sweet sweet cool tracks performed by Harry Gregson Williams - one of my favourite composers among Hans Zimmer and John Williams.  

I'm very music driven when I'm actually doing a decent artwork.
I've listened Pirates of the Caribbean:At World's End OST - the only track I know I kept listening to is 'Drink Up Me Hearties' almost everyday when i was doing a fan art on that movie.

.......................WHY MUST YOU BE SO FUCKING SLOW!!!???

Sorry... I was screaming at the download bar which reads 40% after what seems to be half an hour I was here in the net cafe.

While I'm at it, I'm trying to endure the smell of my smelly feet
(I secretly opened my shoes and socks to stank up the joint) and the noisy gamers that are making a fuzz on one corner of the room. (In hopes that my stinkin feet will put an end to their misery)

Now where were we....

Oh never mind...

I'm just sick and tired here, folks.

So I read some of my fans comments and I am particularly interested on how one person commented on how surprised that nobody commented on this artwork or that piece of junk over the corner...

yeah, I get that alot all the time. But I don't care about how much comments I'm getting or 'oooh I got more watchers and favs and shit like that.'  That just plain wrong. This ain't a competition. I never think its a competition. I ain't gonna win the Noble Prize of the best motherfucking artwork of the year.

I just play cool and do what I like to do and that is to keep drawing and improving myself.

If those people wanna talk shit about it, love it, praise it, be my guess but please don't make it like who's got the best artwork or (example) 'your pirate artwork sucks and mines better' kinda crap.

Then again, what the fuck do I care.

If I suck, I'll stay that way and try not to shun other people down like some arrogant pros out there who think they got all what it takes.  But some pros are cool and I knew these guys well that I understood the shit they've been through.


If I don't reply comments, doesn't mean I'm fucking arrogant. So as leaving a piece of comment at yer site with one glance without even appreciating the work you done.

When I have a reasonable comment to say to you, I'll say it. If no means no. I rather give you the truth if I had to than giving a white lie and say 'oh what a nice artwork you have!' while the voice in the back of my head says: ' my grandmother can draw better that this shit?'

But of course, I appreciate the comments that people give. You guys and girls are great. I looked at all these younger artists being inspired from others' works is enough for me. Its a thank you thing for me that I'm sharing a knowledge to you all.

And that's fucking beautiful. Love those kids out there. Cut the doze of anime and manga you little shitlings! Enough of those and get inspired with lost styles and looks that are waiting to be found!

For my fans (you know who you are) who supported my webcomic,
'The Dreamwalker Chronicles', do continue to keep it up.

For you others who didn't know about this - shame on you.

I'm just in a sarcastic mood for now.

Those who interested in supporting it, here's the LINK:

www.dreamwalkerchronicles.smackjeeves.com

I must find a good way to promote my comic and hope to get it published someday.  If its good enough, I'll continue the chronicles or else I'll end it at Road's End. (my term of End of the Road for me)

So thanks for your help and start reading it now. Reading is good for your brain.

I'm getting more and more occupied with work nowadays and its difficult to keep myself in progress on my online comic lately.

Heck, if I was back in college days once more, I'll be all 24- 7 on screen, online and to hell with the outside world for me.

But I think its good discipline. It keeps you having things to do somehow and not depend on the internet all the time.

NOOOOO!!!! WHAT AM I SAYING!? NO INTERNET, I'LL GO 'LOCO'!

  Past the crossroads of life,
towards places of the strange and wierd,
prepare to walk in darkness,
prepare to walk alone in fear.

bla bla blah....

I'm in the Hellboy mood of looking for paranormal activities in my office and stuff.  Craziest week so far for me. Just turned 21 this year two days ago and suddenly I've realized time flies and I am officially declared as an adult.

I wish I was 14 again....

disappears....
I'm currently working as an animator in my homeland and in between, I'm doing my personal artworks and illustrations just for kicks.

So far two new artworks are up and running here and will not expect a lot of updates later on for the following weeks and months to come.

Learning some cool basic Capoeira moves to kick ass and having fun at the same time.

So yeah, that's all for now. I will disappear from this site like I've always do.

Its been a month and a half since I've updated anything here. The reason why I had a DevArt account is to back up all my artworks in cases of emergencies.

So what has happened for those silent days? Nothing much. My semester's worht of assignments are killing me so I can't really find any reason to come here.

Had my online comic site up and running smoothly. Hopefully no buggers will screw it up. I hate them alot.

Well...here's the add for those who are interested to check it out:

my artblog: www.yumegawa.blogspot.com

my online comic: www.dreamwalkerchronicles.smackjeeves.com

This site will be silent for months to come and I apologize for any messages that aren't getting any replies from me. Busy busy busy

t.k. over and out
Where am I for the past two weeks?

Well, I was enjoying my semester break, having fun with my new WACOM tablet and post and hosting my web comics. Nuff said.

I seemed to ignored my Deviant Art site and it seemed a little stagnant now....oh well.

At least I have some artworks to update and give it a smell of fresh air for now.

daryl
Its being a long while I've updated anything here. So many replies not yet answered and so much drawing to do. Its being fun to do so here. :D

I'm getting myself immersed in all the spiritual cultures of Native American Indians. They are beautiful and has become the backdrop setting for some of my artworks and stories.

Those strange presences in my room is gone.... for now..... OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

t.k.
Few nights ago, I felt a presence was standing behind me the whole time. It occured a few times after midnight. But everytime I turned around, there wasn't anyone there....

a ghost? Demonic presence? A guardian angel? Dead grandparents? Who knows....

t.k. over and out
Nothing much to say here but to my Deviant friends, sorry for not being replying your messages or comments for this whole time. There's lotsa things had come up for the past one and a half months and I really hate to bla bla bla about my personal problems like a biatch here so I rather shut up about that. HA HA

My semester break has been smooth so far but always be prepare for a storm of troubles come ahead here. Not to mention doors of opportunities for me to venture too.

New artworks will be posted soon and hopefully would give the gallery a nice makeover for a change....hopefully.

t.k. over and out
Its been a long while since I've posted anything new here so I decided to give a little bla bla bla on my DeviantART journal.

Watched 'CARS' last night and it was awesome. Animation was superb and the cars and the textures, the settings, the color ....I can't get enough of it. I oughta watch it again soon.

Got my hair dyed but the results are slim.... You see, my hair has been black as Sadako's (the female ghost from THE RING) and the hair dye didn't do justice to it as I was hoping for. But, I got some slight brownish look on it now and that's fine with me....

Now, its 2.40 a.m. and I'm in between reading my Bible which I haven't touched it for quite sometime now and blogging AND drawing at the same time. Figuring out how to execute my animation style for the next semester....

till then its all fun and games/ and alot of relaxation.

t.k. headin to bed right now....
Which eventually I was in Hell for the past few weeks. I'm too tired to post a long crap for today. Arrrgh.....
Nothing much to post but just to say I'm still gonna be continuing my non-contact week for the next two weeks.

Changed my ID art bla bla bla and time for me to go to sleep....
I won't be posting anything new nor update anything here for the next four following weeks because due to my oncoming deadlines of my assignments submissions.

To all Deviantart visitors and fellow friends and watchers/favs, thanks for your replies and comments for I am thankful for that and forgive me if I didn't reply sooner or not at all.

Well that's the life of an animation student now..... deadline...deadlines.... deadlines....

See ya, and wish me luck!

Listening to :Hillsong - Salvation is Here
Basically here's my 6 wierd things/habits:

1. - I like to stay in the dark places

2. - I occasionally smell my armpits to see if it smells like strawberry... LOL

3. - I tend to laugh or grin all of the sudden to myself at all the sarcastic thoughts I think of and that really creeps out my friends.

4. - I'm always changing moods - sometimes normal, then cranky, then psychotic and then normal again.

5. - I like to pretend to be 'possessed' or act like a zombie or a ghost when I get bored and naughty. :P

6. - when I usually too concentrated in my drawings, my friends noticed my tongue will hang out like a dog's.

I don't know why I'm in the mood to draw horror-themed artworks lately....
I guess its one of those seasons where I need to get myself scared to death with nightmarish visuals and hallucinations of my near-twisted mind....

t.k. over and out
Like the title suggests.... I'm currently in the mood to color all my recently ink and pencil sketches I did during my free time. Tonight, I posted two horror-related artworks and more soon to come.

Although Silent Hill couldn't make it in Malaysia due to their stupid sensitivity in the issue of black magic and witchcraft and cult-related craps. Oh well, I guess I'll wait for its DVD release...........NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!


t.k. over and out experiencing gruesome 'treatments' from the Nurses of Silent Hill....
