Echo


Another link to my art is ready... but this is not my 'another' art gallery. This my web comic online comic gallery. You can click the link but there's nothing yet inside only the title 'Echo'. Yes... that's my online comic title and for local comic reader, some of you will know about 'Echo' comic. It's a bad unfinished comic with character posing and close up in every panel by me that appeared in local comic magazine.

But this time, i re visite the comic. If you familiar with Travis Charest's 'Space Girl' then this comic is something like that but the only different... i got more panel just like normal comic not strip and maybe in color (i donno yet if my online comic will be in color or b/w... juat wait and see). I'll update this comic once in two weeks maybe it faster than that and maybe it will take a month, it's depend cos i'm busy with my office's work. so, stay tune!

US Comic job

Aku baru je dapat offer dari Zachary Sherman seorang penulis komik dari US. Dia ni buat special effect dgn ILM dan pernah bekerjasama dgn. beberapa penghasilan filem seperti:
* Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest (2006)
* The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe (2005)
* Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith (2005)
* The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (2003)
* Hulk (2003)
* Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (2002)
* Mortal Kombat: Annihilation (1997)

Masalahnya sekarang ni aku dah ada satu projek buat komik untuk US juga. Kalau aku ambik... 2 kerja terpaksa aku buat nanti kantoi. Pehal pun aku tunggu skrip dia dulu, kalau susah terpaksa aku kensel je lah. Mdec pun dah start keluar borang untuk digital comic competition (RM15.000), tak tau la nak masuk ke tak nak (tahun lepas aku tak masuk). Takut tak terkejar. Apa hal pun tengok la nanti perkembangannya.

Concept for new comic



Concept character for my new comic? Enjoy!
Sori lambat post drawing... sibuk sikit err... banyak. Ni rekaan konsep untuk komik aku yang bakal diterbitkan kat US nanti. Tajuk dia aku takleh reveal lagi termasuklah publisher dia. Mungkin komik ni akan siap akhir tahun ni. Kalau aku laju... awal lah. Komik ni aku buat sebanyak 4 isu untuk first story arc. Mungkin aku ambik masa sikit pasal banyak detail yang aku nak terapkan. Dah lama aku nak buat komik macam ni tapi aku terpaksa bersabar kerana aku masih banyak kelemahan. Kalau kat local aku banyak lukis komik yang banyak close up dan kadang-kadang takde background (sebab aku banyak keja lain). Tapi kini aku dah full time melukis untuk local cuma komik aku ni agak banyak unsur humor. Tentu lari konsep kalau aku buat yang sesuatu yang dianggap mengarut oleh pembaca local.

Okeh! Okeh! Ada orang tanya jugak tajuk tu, terpaksa aku bagitau... tajuk dia yang unofficial ialah Sword-man. Komik anti superhero (cam Punisher la lebih kurang, tapi dengan pedang). So pueh hati?

Nemesis


Detailed pencil drawing I did few years ago for a local magazine but it was publish in colour. More shading then line drawing as you can see with Batman drawing. But it was easy to lay digital color because the shading itself can act as the shadow. But I'm happy with black/white. This is among my favourite character that I create myself. His look evil but never jugde by it's cover. Enjoy it!

Dark Knight










AnotherDrawing but in black/white. Supposed to color it but it was to dark and all the linbe line art was gone. By the way... I just finish coloring wolverine piece and will posting here sometime later and you can see step by step coloring process for the piece in my Gallery's link or Deviant art Gallery later.

The first drawing I did on A4 paper and the second on A3 drawing paper with 0.3 mecahnical pencil.

I'm planning to do a illustration by acrillic for Batman base on 50's Batman TV siries starring Adam West. Now I'm looking for the reference for the character.

My first comic con

Haa... ni la gerai/booth yang aku lepak. Nampak tak artwork aku yang Ori tu. Kat sebelah tu brader Gayour, yang duduk atas kerusi merah pakai baju hitam tu aku la. Haa... tak nampak... pendek umur la.


Sci-Fi & Fantasy Festival yang berlansung kat Damansara Cathay Leisure merupakan comic con yang pertama aku join. Selama ni pun aku tak pernah join apa-apa event seperti Comic Fiesta dan lain-lain lagi. Satu pengalaman berharga bagi aku dapat jumpa ramai artis tapi masalahnya aku segan nak jumpa diorang ni sampai kena tunggu diorang tegur aku dulu. Memang segan nak jumpa pasal diorang tu berpengalaman besar.

Simple Tips untuk pelukis komik/kartun yang baru (Malaysian Only)

Simple Tips untuk pelukis komik/kartun yang baru (Malaysian Only)
Ramai yang aku jumpa pelukis komik atau kartun yang tak tahu cara yang 'betul' untuk menghantar karya ke penerbit.
Kat bawah ni aku senaraikan beberapa 'perkara' yang sepatutnya dielakkan tetapi berlaku bila berhadapan dengan editor atau penerbit.


1. Aku jumpa ramai pelukis baru yang sering menghasilkan komik sehingga berpuluh-puluh mukasurat sebelum berjumpa dengan editor atau penerbit. Apabila karya mereka di'reject' pastinya berlaku kekecewaan yang melampau. Jadi sebelum menghasilkan 'real' komik hubungi penerbit dahulu untuk menunjukkan contoh lukisan atau karya. Kepada yang tak dapat datang untuk berjumpa editor sila poskan fotokopi contoh komik tersebut dan tunggu jawapannya.

2. Kebanyakkan pelukis sering membebel atau memprotes apabila banyak artwork diedit, contohnya dialog. Pelukis harus ingat yang artwork mereka telah dibeli oleh penerbit dan ianya telah menjadi hakmilik penerbit jadi penerbit berhak melakukan apa saja terhadap karya mereka. Di sini pelukis haruslah melahirkan karya yang betul-betul bermutu sehingga penerbit berpuasharti tanpa perlu mengedit lagi.

3. Anggaplah segala komen dari editor/penerbit sebagai cabaran untuk menghasilkan karya yang lebih bermutu bukan untuk mengkondem editor tu balik kat kawan-kawan. Pengalaman aku sebagai editor aku telah menyenarai hitamkan beberapa pelukis komik yang bagus/tak bagus akibat perangai 'buruk' tersebut. Dan ini mungkin akan menutup periuk nasi mereka sendiri ternasuk menjadikan gelanggang komik semakin kecil. Ramai pelukis yang terlalu sensitif sehingga tidak boleh menerima segala komen yang diberikan oleh editor.

4. Kekemasan masih tidak diutamakan dalam menghasilkan komik. Terutamanya dari segi layout. Lukisan bagus tapi petak atau kolum senget dan tak kemas. Kertas lukisan kotor dan seperti kena minyak masak dan bermacam lagi. Malah cara menyusun folio untuk ditunjukkan kepada editor berterabur. Ini semua menjadikan ediror/penerbit hilang mood untuk menatap komik korang dan ini menutup peluang korang.

5. Mengkopi karya pelukis ternama pada permulaan adalah bagus tetapi bila korang dah sampai tahap semakin hebat, korang kena cipta stroke yang tersendiri. Melainkan stroke korang tu lebih baik dari stroke pelukis yang korang tiru tu.

6. Kepada pelukis komik yang baru berjinak-jinak dengan bidang ini (yang baru datang dari kampung), jangan bermimpi ingin menjadi pelukis komik sepenuh masa. Nasihat aku cari kerja lain yang mempunyai masa terluang pada sebelah malam atau sabtu/ahad. Dan waktu sebegini boleh korang luangkan masa untuk melukis. Korang boleh menjadi pelukis komik secara profesional bila korang dapat peluang di US dan mendapat tempat sebaris dengan pelukis komim ternama lain. Ramai pelukis komik/kartun yang aku jumpa bercita-cita nak jadi pelukis pro tapi miss soru. Malah ada juga p[elukis ternama kita yang aku kenal terumbang-ambing hidupnya. Jadi... cari kerja lain.

7. Penuhkan ilmu di dada sebelum pergi 'berperang' kalau tidak jangan memandai nak bercakap pasal copyright atau apa-apa yang berkaitan dengan industri. Ada pelukis tu nak sangat publish komik lepas publish sendiri kemudian tertipu akhirnya atau kecundang di tengah jalan. Jangan beranagn nak keluarkan buku sendiri, aku sendiri tak teringin nak keluarkan buku sendir sebab aku masih 'lemah' lagi. Ada jugak pelukis yang bergaduh nak copyright sendiri... hah ambik kau, tapi jika karakter korang belum diregister bermakna copyright untuk ciptaan korang itu masih lagi 'bebas'. Dan jika karakter ciptaan korang tu tak bagus jangan beria-ia nak bergaduh pasal copyright. Aku ada jumpa seorang pelukis yang berjuang pasal copyright, bila dah dapat dan dah register... tak ke mana-mana ciptaannya itu. Sebab mungkin tak bagus... pastu takde duit nak publish sendiri. Bila dapat publish sendiri kecundang.

8. Kepada yang menghantar secara post... harap jangan hantar yang original kerana segalanya tak akan dipulangkan. Kepada yang berjumpa sendiri dengan editor pun diharap dapat menyediakan satu photokopi untuk ditinggalkan kepada editor kerana editor menerima banyak artwork jadi kemungkinan untuk men cari balik artwork yang ingin dipulangkan agak memakan masa. Jadi sediakan PHOTOSTAT SAHAJA!

9. Aku akan tambah lagi di waktu yang lain.

My comic magazines



US/UK (Sorry bad English)
I like comic medium very much... I start collecting comic since 12 years old. Action comic was the first comic followed by epic illustrated magazine. But all of them were gone in my hand. From Marvel to DC, from manga comic to Hong Kong Kung-Fu fighting comic. I'm trying to collect every comic in the world but only a few I have. I did a research about comic, drew comic... if my friend buys comic for their X-men character or Superman, but buy it cos it's comic. There are lot of single comic now day but only few comic magazine you can find in the comic shop.

2000AD a comic magazine from UK among the top. But don't forget Heavy Metal... I have been collecting this mag since I was 17 and stop until a few years ago. But now I'm ready to continue collecting Heavy Metal. Actually I have this mag from underground source because it was banned from Goverment. But 2000AD still survives in Malaysia market and you can get it even at kedai mamak. Other mag from Marvel called Epic Comic also one of the best comic book in the form of magazine. But sadly no longer available in the market. There also Frazzeta's Fantasy Illustrated, I only have it 4 to five issue. That's all cos they stop running it. And the only beautiful comic magazine so far... Penthhouse comic. That's why I called it beautiful mag, but it's truly good design mag. Anyone who wanted to see it... contact me cos I have in about 20 over copies/issues.

JAPAN
So far from Japan, the best comic magazine is Shonen Jump. Range Murata also trying hard to publish comic in magazines format but much expensive than Shonen Jump, its called Robot published by Wani Publishing Japan. Robot focus more comic art controled by Range Murata himself but it worth to have it.

MALAYSIA
From local (Malaysia) the best comic magazines so far but no longer in market, Fantasi which I collect a whole issue but after I graduate from Mara University of Technology more than 10 issue missing and damage. Gila-gila, Ujang, Gempak to name a few were survive until now in the market. But Gempak was a big 'victory' in Malaysia comic scene.

This is my Star Wars art i did a few years ago. I enjoyed doing illustration by acrillic medium which is for me very easy to handle. I planned to do more Star Wars portrait illustration in the future but for the first, wait for Darth Maul together with Marvel Ultimate superhero art end of December.
