It’s been around 2 months since the course has ended, and that on what seemed to be the closes I have ever been in reaching my dream of launching my own comic, characters and story, I have made a decision which I feel mature and fitting: The initial plans for the story will not standContinue reading “FYP week22 : better start anew”

Instagram The Instagram account was launched way back in February, but I haven’t really pushed it for followers since everything was pretty much still in progress for the past months. My idea is to color code all different issue: hence issue 1 being neon green, 2 being neon blue ans do on. The reasons forContinue reading “FYP week21 : distribution and concerns”

Yuujin I actually wanted to do the moulding by myself, but as the deadline is coming to a close I started thinking bout the fact that I have only moulded something once, I would have to buy the materials required and is expected to go through a lot of trial and errors. That was whenContinue reading “FYP week20 : Yuujin”

I would like to take this week’s blog to document the sketches that were generated for this very project. Drawing Probelms Having drawn since a young age, I have given up on achieving clean line work with pencil or pen.

Defusing the Story Had my chat with Jonas about the possibility of reviving a past project and he ACCEPTED! YAY! But now, Jonas wants to see a complete story, for the issue 1.

I have only taken very short classes in sculpting before and was taught very basic knowledge of moulding, I am really happy and proud of the resulting bust. IContinue reading “FYP week17 : given face”

When Syed was our instructor.  I started off being very specific with documenting old buildings or structures, a part of Hong Kong I dearly relate to while growing up : oldContinue reading “FYP week 16 : city”

A Revisit? For the past half a year, I have been working on 3000, an idea for a comic I had 12 years ago. I revisited it t a semester ago, if I recall correctly was part of a 3 week project and was a little upset that I didn’t get to see it toContinue reading “FYP week15 : approval?”

Leaving Space I think I was doing this unintentionally ever since the writing started, that I have been purposefully leaving a lot of space for any kind of design outcome.  With this intention spearheading my critical report, I don’t know if this intention is considered correct to the world of academia to be honest :Continue reading “FYP week14 : writing wrap up”

Thoughts & Progress At this point I am clueless in what the design solution is going to be. The essay writing is coming along fine, although I am a little worried that I am taking too much time with the writing.  I think through talking to people, I have gained a better perspective of myselfContinue reading “FYP week13 : focus”
