STGCC 2011

STGCC (Singapore Toy, Game & Comic Convention) is coming early this year. Last year's was in December and I actually got to be a part of it with some of my cool artist friends :) Really an eye-opener and a great experience. We won't be participating this year though. All of us are going through major milestones in our lives.

Anyway, I hope this year's STGCC will be more fun and interesting. Really cant wait to look at what the people at the Artist Alley have to offer. :) I pray hope there are lots more varieties of vinyl toys and artworks/prints to buy.

Admission used to be free but with new organisers, we now have to buy tix to get in. This is not as big as the overseas ones but hopefully in future years, this kind of event will be more appreciated here. I love conventions like this. I'll definitely go to the San Diego one! (well one day :) )

Anyway, you get a free poster if you buy tix now. More details on their site.

Recently, a friend of mine went for a job interview and when she showed her showreel, the interviewer said he saw the exact same reel from a China guy last week. She had posted her final video and the breakdown on the net via You-tube, Vimeo and on her blog for potential employers to view. So what do we do or show the potential employers that the works belong to us? Will they bother to call our lecturers or someone who can vouch for us, or should we just have to watermark every thing we post on the internet? Piracy is possibly a way of "advertising" but when it comes to job searching for a fresh grad, it is really troubling especially in SG where jobs in the interactive media industry are already so few.

The Beginning (1/3)

This is what happens when a group of artists hang out together after work/classes. This is the first out of three drawings drawn over a span of 6 hours. Definitely brings back memories of the fun and laughter we had drawing this. We penned down whatever that came to mind immediately.

 Finally got round to vectoring one piece. It's not the best but I'll improve! Definitely learned new things while vectoring this.

Cats!

If I were to keep a pet real life, I would prefer dogs.  But in the digital world, I simply love cats!

Well, just in case the words are too small to be read:

• Horns are only for show - to trick potential predators. Bluntness reflects its non-violent nature.
• Flat Rounded beak makes it unable to survive on its own.
• Armour to protect its more sensitive areas.
• One-leggedness caused by a reaction when it fell into one of Anatolia's (Gypsy from another realm) potions at egg stage.
• Wears a watch on its right wing. The watch is the only one still working in that world so Anatolia knows what the correct time should be after she stopped time in her world.
