Klimt @ The Getty

I went to the Getty Museum for Klimt exhibit with Mitsu, Pailin, and her baby. They didn't allow you to take photos inside the gallery, but Mitsu and I brought our sketch pads, so we also did some studies sketches while we were there.


Then we went to Amandine and grabbed tasty sandwiches and desserts :d.

I've been wanting to make origami roses for a while now. I messed up a few times, but eventually I did it! Yay! Now what should I do with them? @_@ lol. I actually learned how to knit recently as well. I feel quite crafty lately haha.

Fanart - Nemu Nemu

For Audra's book:

Jozette drew me

So this is what I look like in the eyes of a 3 years old girl. Hey~ at least I'm skinny! Look at those arms and legs.

Isn't Mike's daughter adorable?

Dirty pet needs a bath!

Sparkly pet after a bath :D
My agent asked how Rococo would look like with her eyes opened, so this is what she'd look like. Her eyes are deep violet colors :)

Dream: Dancing Cherry Tomatoes

I had another strange dream yesterday. I kind of miss having strange dreams. The mermaltese dream was pretty awesome. Anyways, yesterday I dreamt of dancing cherry tomatoes.

Katara Art

I got an email from a girl in Germany that's a fan of Avatar: The Last Airbender. She liked the trading card set that we did for Avatar, so she asked if I can draw something for her. I wasn't too busy, so I did a small watercolor painting for her. :)

Penguin & Picolette Photoshoot

James was our photographer for the day. Derek also lent us the lightbox and lights. It actually took really long to shoot. Sunny had to first use the lint roller on them to make sure that they are nice and clean. Then Pailin would use a tweezer to adjust their scarves etc.

We also took pictures of the Picolettes. Currently, Sunny is super addicted to Pixel Junk lol.

Pete's visit

Pete's sculpting my character.
Pete came to help me sculpt one of my chara. He's so good! Look!


The master's tool box.

Radish

"Hello, I am a radish"
Radishes are probably one of the cutest vegetables. They are cute little bulbs and the color is so pretty. When you slice them up, they are white with pretty outer red rings <3. Because they are so cute, it's hard not to buy them. I think they have a really nice texture. They add some crunchiness into things. I put thin slices of them in my salad as well as my sandwiches, and the crunchiness makes everything taste so much more yummy. See? I like them so much, I even made a radish character! Inspiration comes from everywhere *nod nod* :p

Puff Puff Sculpture

I've been sculpting Puff Puff. I thought it's a good one to try because it has a simple shape. Since I want to try to get it a mold made, this one seems to work best for a mold. It also doesn't have that many color (easier to paint).
Sculpting this was so hard. I've never used super sculpey before, and the clay is much softer than what I'm used to. So when I push it, the other side would get mushed. So I'd fix the other side, and the original side would get mushed. ARgghhh~ In the end, it took a lot longer than it supposed to. And after I baked it, it cracked! Sob. But I filled the cracks up, so it should be okay for now.
I don't think I can get it done before comic con, but James and I are trying to figure out if we can do the whole process ourselves (making the mold, casting, and painting). If we are able to do so, then it might be done by comic con. I'm a perfectionist, so it will have to look absolutely perfect though.

My Yeti

Amalie & Cubliee

I received an email from Mike and it totally made my day. He sent me a picture of his daughter and little Cubilee cut outs. I gave her a postcard with the characters on them a few months ago. She actually spent the time cutting them out and putting them on little stands and made a little play house for them. I'm so touched. I love that girl *sniff*.

Doodle - Flutter

I slept a lot today. Need to clean up and do laundry. I get distracted easily x_x.

Doodle -Trapped (not done)

Cropped the face. Maybe I'll finish the rest of the body tomorrow. sleepy now~

Shirts and Plushes

*yawn yawn* Making plush dolls of Cubilees and Two Giant ones for display:




I didn't get to take pics of the New Shirt designs, but I will put the pics up after I get them taken.

Need sleep badly x_x

Stripped + Doodle

OMG, I was stripped!! She even took off my underwear!!!

My mom wanted to get a foot massage, so she dragged me to a Thai Massage place next to her work. I was lead into a dark room, then my masseuse said to lay down on my stomach, and took off my bra. I thought it was supposed to be a foot massage, but she said that when your feet and legs hurt, it's good to massage your back too. They all link to each others. It was soooo painful. Thai deep tissue massage is super painful. I looked like ---> >_< (trying not to scream). Then she took off my undie (I was so unprepared for that). She was pulling down my undie, and I was pulling it up.. hahaha. Anyways, in the end, I gave in. At least the room was super dark. I felt so violate T_T. It's the first time, I've ever been stripped by a masseuse.

The result - I'm super sore. I had a lot of knots. Oh, she said I'm super flexible because I was able to clasp my hands together behind my back (behind the scapulae) XD.

The whole masseuse thing totally distracted me from my doodling time. Here is another unfinished drawing again.

Photoshop and Me

old sketch
Lack of Sleep + Photoshop Mishaps x Deadlines = very very Angry Patara...
Gaaahhhh~ I'm so tired. I haven't update in a while, so I figure it's good to update now that I'm done with work.

Pailin was craving McDonald's breakfast, but because of jet lag, she goes to sleep at 3-4am and wakes up after McDonald's breakfast hours. A few days ago, Pailin and I went to a meeting and met up with a company that was very interested in some of our original properties. They were so nice and laid back. They also seemed very genuine. It would be really cool to see my characters become toys or animation. Maybe I'm daydreaming too much *haha*. Anyways, we were so busy with work, so we ended up not sleeping and just go straight to the meeting. Pailin was happy though since she finally got her McDonald's breakfast xP.

After the meeting, we continued on Lego project through the weekend. I didn't sleep for 2 days straight T_T. James came over to set up my server and set up some computer things, but after he left, my computer acted up. It's hellish when a computer won't cooperate with you during a deadline. Photoshop and Painter crashed on me 3 times, so I lost a lot of works. Then I realized that my Photoshop is acting VERY VERY weird when I save. The color shifts horribly causing me a lot of confusion. See! --> EVIL EVIL PHOTOSHOP It drives me crazy! I hate not being in control. Why can't my computer just cooperate with me! >_<;;;

I'm getting sleepy now, so Zzzzzzzzz.
