NAGASATRIA preview pages

Above are 4 pages preview of my new upcoming, the first publication comic book NAGASATRIA, and it just got fund from MDEC. Thank you again MDEC for the grant. The pages above need to be redo again, since this will be my first book... I'll make sure all the pages are in good quality. I'm working hard on the pages right now. I need to make sure 50 pages full color finish by end of this year but for sure not enough to tell the whole story. But the book will be more than 60 pages. All the pages are done on paper and color in photoshop. Lucky for me, most of the pages contain not more than 4 panel in a wide screen format page... so I enough time for me to finish it by end of this year. I'll share with you some of the character/concept art later.

Kat sini brader share 4 page preview mukasurat comic pertama brader iaitu NAGASATRI yang baru je dapat grant dari MDEC. Terima kasih bebanyak untuk MDEC. Comic preview ni akan brader cuba buat balik untuk mendapatkan quality yang bagus, maklum la... bakal buku pertama brader. Jadi brader perlu siapkan 50 mukasurat berwarna sehingga akhir tahun ni. Walau pun begitu, brader rasa tak cukup untuk menceritakan apa yang berlaku dalam komik ni. Jadi untuk versi print, brader akan pastikan ianya lebih dari 60 mukasurat berwarna. Nasib baik masa pitch brader propose format wide screen yang tak lebih dari 4 panel 1 mukasurat. Jadi rasanya boleh kejar dateline la camni. Brader akan share character/concept art kemudian.

Good news for my online comic 'DARKSHADOW', I have been chosen as one of ten winner from 20 finalist in MDEC Intellectual Property Creator Challenge Series - digital interactive comic pitch to grab RM20,000 to produce a series of comic. So on 30 july 2009 was the pitching day, and I brought my 'DARKSHADOW' sequel entitled 'NAGASATRIA' for that day. They are (20 finalist) all the best, and I was lucky, my presentation has been chosen as one of the 10 winner. This is my first time entering an art competition. But I don't see this as a competition but a pitch. So, the grant will be use to publish my full color limited edition comic. So, I have to finish 'NAGASATRIA' in 6 month but for those of you who cannot wait, just read my 'NAGASATRIA' prequel, 'DARKSHADOW' online for free. The book will be on sale online and never sold anywhere except at a special booth at any local comic convention. I produced 10 preview books for the pitching day, 4 for the juries and the rest were sold for 10 ringgit (Just sold out right after my pitch session). So, no more in my hand.

Berita baik untuk brader punya comic online 'DARKSHADOW', brader telah terpilih salah sorang dari 10 pemenang grant dari 20 finalist yang menyertai MDEC Intellectual Property Creator Challenge Series - digital interactive comic pitch untuk mendapatkan grant sebanyak  RM20,000. Masa pitching day tu brader bawak sequel 'DARKSHADOW' iaitu 'NAGASATRIA' sebagai bahan presentation, dan Alhamdulillah, brader terpilih sebagai salah sorang pemenang. Ni la pertama kali brader masuk pertandingan, tapi brader tak anggap ni sebagai pertandingan sebab ianya adalah pitching day. Brader dan lukis komik hampir 20 tahun tapi takde buku sebagai portfolio, ni la peluang brader untuk menghasilkan sebuah buku. Jadi duit grant ni brader akan gunakan untuk terbitkan buku komik secara edesi terhad penuh warna dan brader terpaksa menyiapkannya dalam jangka masa 6 bulan ni. Jadi sesapa yang tak sabar tu boleh la mengikuti komik online brader dulu ye. Cerita tu memang ada kaitan, versi buku akan dijual secara online saja dan juga kat meja jualan kat memana comic convention tempatan. Masa pitching day tu brader dah sediakan 10 bijik buku preview 'NAGASATRIA' untuk presentation. 4 untuk juri, selebihnya terjual sehabis saja sesi pitching brader. Semuanya dia beli RM10 satu buku oleh pemerhati dari industri creative luar sana. Jadik takde satu pun yang tinggal kat brader.

My Xbox 360's box

Hey... it's has been more than a months since my last post here. Well, so busy with my day job... and it effects to my online comic 'DARKSHADOW' as well. But don't worry, more than five pages are ready to color and once they are ready, I'll post them here. Just stay tune. Only one thing I want to share with you here is... I got a new Xbox 360... yeahoooo. But don't fear, I'm not a video game addict so I'm still can manage my schedule. Yea... I need this console just to make sure my creativity always fresh and up to date.

Huih! Lama gak brader tak update blog ni, sibuk sangat ngan keja opis sampai tak tak sempat nak upload panel 'DARKSHADOW' yang seterusnya. Tapi jangan risau dah ada lebih dari lima mukasurat dalam tangan, tinggal nak kaler je. Bila siap je brader akan terus post kat blog ni. Mungkin lama tapi brader nak make sure artwork tu berkualiti. Haa... brader dah tangkap satu Xbox 360 untuk menjana kreativity brader yang makin berkarat ni. Nasib baik brader bukan kaki tegar video game, cuma main masa lapang je. Banyak menda brader dapat dengan video game ini, yang berkaitan dengan keja brader la.
