A new game from Gaia Interactive, where I work, is available in App Store. :>
I don't really have anything to do with the game except for a few items I made for the kitty and very minor art related work.  Most of the artworks in the game are made and/or edited by and other fellow Gaia employees  :>



give it a try :>

I wanted to share a video with everyone.  My friend/coworker took this time lapse of our office Friday wall art     The theme of the week is Robot.

It was fun

Since November of last year, 2011, I've been working on a new game for Gaiaonline.  Finally the first trailer is available for your viewing pleasure. ;o   ... well, I hope you guys enjoyed it anyway.

So I went to this Beach Chalet restaurant in San Francisco with a friend of mine.  (Actually we were trying to check out Bay to Breakers 2012, but I woke up late so... whatever) Holy crap load, all the waiters are really hot OMG I just can'tttt.  Made me wanna cry.   It just isn't fairrrr.   The one who served my table in particular I couldn't take my eyes off of, it's embarrassing.   My friend kept feeding me Jagermeister shots so I must've looked like a drunken walnut with a dash of creep.   UGH!

Anywho, back to the topic.  FanimeCon  2012.  ..  yeah.  this weekend..  I'll be checking it out a little.  No table cuz no love for me in the past so me no waste time ( boo-f-hoo, *wipes tears*, etc.)

Old rules applied.  Free doodle if you present me with drawing materials. ;0   Otherwise I'd just go home and play Diablo 3!

ps:  I just realized that the last 2 posts I made were about the game I worked on and Fanime 2011....................

meh.

pps:  I recently found out that one of my favorite Thai vocalist died..........  like 8 years ago.    This gives me teh sads.

I forgot to make this announcement.  The iPhone game I worked on, Monster Galaxy: The Zodiac Islands, is now available in app store... and has been for a little while actually

I did all the NPC art (I think.. unless they added some more later)   It was very stressful.. I grew grey hair because of it lol   It was fun, tho'.. but, man, the pressure! D;

Anyways, the game is free to download, please check it out :>

<3

That time is almost here again and this year my friend Patara of Vuduberi & I are gonna do artist alley, but we're so not in touch with our inner otaku much anymore so I'd really love it if you guys would list your top 3-5 anime or manga that you would like to see drawn?  What's in? What's current?  What's popular?

The last animes I watched were like..  FMA, Code Geass, FMA: Brotherhood, Hourou Musuko..  hmm..

   <== what the shit is this face? ugh!

First of all, thank you so much everyone who left me a happy birthday message   [sappitysappysap]It brings joy to my little heart.[/sappitysappysap]  I was gonna draw a holiday pic, but then I got busy *coughcough* so, uh.., yeah.. that's that.  But thank you so much

Next up, I'm not sure if anyone else who watch me don't already know this, but I was helping out with Monster Galaxy team at work creating some NPC characters and a few monster designs.  Please check it out on FaceBook   There's also a #mogagroup on here that my drawings will show up in.
Working on this game I had to change my style a little bit, but still look mostly like my drawings lol  If you play, see if you could tell which characters are drawn by me.

In a semi-related news, well, it's semi related because this is what kept me from doing art..I STARTED PLAYING Final Fantasy XI AGAIN!! BAD!! Right now I'm trying to get my friend to reactivate my old account, but in the meanwhile I'm playing on my Xbox360 version free trial period. My video card suck and I can't play graphic intensive games on the computer anymore. If anyone plays on Leviathan server, say hi to Nyansuki   She's a white haired mithra, with n00b gears cuz I'm poor. lol

And lastly, this must be the season of babies or something because many of my friends, friends of friends, and relative are having BABIES!  So many new lives, so much joy, so many smiles, so much love and happiness. It's wonderful.  Congratulations Mai+Marcial, Josh+Jodi, P'Tuk+P'Joe, and everyone else who just had a baby/ies. <3

Much love,
Saka

Well, it's that time of year again.  Unfortunately, I don't have an artist alley table this year... nor last year ..  nor the year before..  Actually I think I had one the year before, but I didn't do well at all so it was almost a complete waste of time.

BUT! If you spot me walking around and want a doodle from me, I'll doodle in your sketch book.  FOR FREE!! So bring a sketch book and a pencil

Not that anyone cares, but why am I awake at 3:12am ?

Fanime flew by, AX is up next! (Dear Lord! what happened to the month?!)


I'll put up full version of this picture later this summer lol
Anyways, I just finished an illustration for Patara@Vuduberi. It's my first CG in a really long time that isn't Gaia or AG related.  Patara is also doing one that compliments mine as a set of two.  We've planned this project MONTHS ago, but I didn't get to seriously work on it until last week. What a procrastinator I am. lol

I'll be flying down to LA this time.  Alone.  I hate flying. I hate traveling alone. It's not gonna be fun

I've been busy with Gaia comic & etc.  we've just dished out another episode of storyline update.  This time it's a prom event comic.  As usual, I post credits here so, without further ado, here are the people who worked on it.

story, layout, lettering, sound f/x - L0cke
story, script - CashmereCactus
background paintings - *Kyomu
backgrounds, f/x - Charles Park
color flats - *gem2niki

I wish I had more time to work on it because the last few pages were rushed due deadlines, but I think over all it wasn't a bad efford.  Thanks all.


---In other news---

I'll be attending FanimeCON 2008 hanging out in Artist Alley.  I will also be making an appearance at AX2008 (for the first time in years) hanging out at Vuduberi booth in dealers' room.  And I miiiiiiiiiiight be attending San Diego Comic Con 2008 hanging out with Vuduberi also.

Chunner of whom I havn't seen in YEARS came to visit  California for a few days.  

Wow, come to think of it Chun & I have known each other for 10 years now. Time really does fly and you just need to cherish every little moments and live it to the fullest..   I was sitting around the other day and realized that kids who're born in 1990 are 18 years old now!!  1990!!!!!!   T_T  Oh well, I'm still young at heart.

anyways, here's a little collab Chunner and I did yesterday at Curry House.

It's getting closer and closer to the countdowns and I still don't have any solid plans for the midnight strokes.  San Francisco is too scary to drive around, plus parking there must be like HELL.  San Jose seems to have only indoor parties at clubs..   I wonder if there's anything going on in Santa Cruz.. but my friend won't call me back for Santa Cruz reports!  Maybe I'll just go to Capitola Beach and watch the fireworks from both Monterey and Santa Cruz.  Uuuuhhhhhggghh...  The time is running out.. My head is really starting to spin... I didn't get much sleep at all..  What am I gonna doooo??? What to do? What to do? What to do???

T_T
