Since the day I met the guys in HPS, I realized how much more inferior my "skills" are compared to others.
True enough, when I look back at my posts here for the past 3 years, I can't help but laugh at myself, have brooding inferiority complex and everything else in between. I frequently find myself asking why I can't learn :iconduomax05:'s symmetry or :iconbernce:'s pencilling skills... Asking myself: "why can't I be as good as them?"

The recent 'Kon and FCBD also add up to it. May be negative or positive, depending on my mood but damn! The artists I saw there just are all too good imo, I've seen so many artists more talented and skilled than I am, and their works far superior than I can ever do. "Starstruck"? No, just a reality check, it made me realize why I idolized the likes of :iconckaicydek: :iconsabogsintido: :icongammaknight: :iconstompboxxx: :iconanthonytan7775: to name a few and of course, so many upcoming talented artists. Luckily, this time, I decided to take it positively.... Of course, as i've mentioned, a sweet couple purchased my Xenomorph drawing, (having impressed someone, or two someones, or sometwo, whatever :roll:) it boosted my confidence but still not full-throttle.

Sir Bernce told the HPS crew to "upgrade" our works, something I have long been thinking so I reviewed my past deviations, looked at what things/areas I lack on.

I knew I'm having a hard time drawing female figures and backgrounds. Main reason is I tried avoiding drawing them as much as I could.
Most of my works here are "half-assed", I draw the subject/character and that's it. As long as my shading on it looks good, I felt contented.

More than a week ago, my girlfriend "challenged" me to draw for her, female characters so she can practice her coloring skills, and I gladly accepted.
Right now, I've given her 6, one of those I drew impromptu (man, her neighbors watched me draw, I should be embarassed but nah, I showed them what I got.)
From the first drawing I gave her to the 6th, I'm proud, and happy to say I see gradual but BIG improvements especially on female anatomy.

HPS plans on releasing a "magazine/compilations" featuring ONLY our "masterpieces". I already have a fan art of :iconensho73:'s Arkhell that's my front-runner to make it on the proposed magazine. That fan art is one of my works I'm really proud of.

For now, I'm trying to improve my gallery, portfolio, skills. In this moment, I have added some that I'm proud of, few that I'm happy with but I know one thing, it's MUCH better than ANYTHING you see in my gallery. It comprises of:

- Monkey King
- Arkhell by :iconensho73:
- Kid Komet by :iconduomax05: (yeah! I finally added a background on it!)
-Pagliacci by :iconsnakelestat28:
- Galamay (an OC of mine)

And added 3 female characters on my portfolio:

- Tinay Pinay ( a new one, NOT the one that :icontwodee: autographed )
- Maharlika by :iconalceoftheart:
- A valkyrie (another OC? :?)
(my female drawings don't look muscular anymore :dummy:)

I know, I know. Maybe you're asking "so what's so special about it? :roll:"

Well, because with those latest works, I finally realized the first two things I need to improve.
1. Once an artist know how to "push" a pen, he can only get better by challenging himself drawing things he has difficulty working on (in my case, female figures and backgrounds) instead of avoiding it.
2. NEVER be contented drawing just the subject and/or the simple designs on it. After all, DETAILS teach an artist how to be patient so as I told :iconchattarika: I will NEVER be contented with something that doesn't have (detailed) background on it. (the big challenge on it is how you make the subject 'pop-out')

Not bragging or something BUT I have more confidence in my skills now than I ever had, so much that I thought of creating a new dA account for my latest works or delete this account because everytihng in here just don't make me happy/proud anymore... I seldom impress myself, maybe because I know how I did an artwork but I have my own eyes that could see my improvements and I'm glad my craft is improving.

Hopefully, I can post some of them soon (I regret turning down Snakey when he asked "may ipapa-scan ka ba?" at the 'Kon). If I don't impress you with those, that should be fine. I'll keep doing and outdoing myself 'till I do, or until I find out if what I'm doing is worth it! ;p

PILAAAAAA!

Hmm, delayed reaction from last Saturday's Free Comicbook Day.

Napansin ko, that day was filled with "fall in line" ahsghfesuedhur!

Simula pa lang ng araw puro pagpila na... mula sa pagbili ng tiket sa mrt pa lang, then sa pagpasok sa venue, pati sa pagkuha ng libreng komiks. (may babae du'n, WALANG KONSIDERASYON. Nilasap talaga ang pagpili ng komiks kahit alam na 'yung mga nakapila sa likuran niya eh nangangawit na sa katatayo, yes. A girl with eyeglasses, I'm talking to you!)

May pila sa bigas, pila sa pagtaya sa lotto, pila sa pagpaparehistro sa Comelec at kung anu-ano pa, at mula pa lang sa mga bata sa school, before 7am may sisigaw: "HOYYYY! PILAHAN NA!" Pilahin mo mukha mo!

Larawan ng pagiging disiplinado? Siguro.
Ang mahirap lang, bakit laging inaabot ng SOBRANG tagal kung may disiplina?
Bakit sa ibang bansa hindi naman gano'n?

Kahit sa ibang ahensiya, tulad ng pagkuha ng NBI clearance (you'll spend a whole day to have it if you try to  get it personally so try doing it online) pagkahaba-haba ng pila. Mula madaling araw hanggang magsara 'yung ahensiya. Kung minamalas ka pababalikin ka pa ng ibang araw :shrug:

Pero kaya naman pabilisin. like sa DFA, kung kukuha ka ng passport, you'll spend just an hour or less kasi may SISTEMANG maayos, bakit hindi magawa ng iba? :?

At ngayong malapit na ang eleksyon, ilang oras ka na naman pipila para makaboto? :roll:

Mahirap tanggapin pero marami tayong kababayan na walang disiplina, at ahensiya na walang sistema kaya parang pila din, usad-pagong ang bansa natin :no:

:iconbadassplz: SHOUT OUT TO MR. ROD ESPINOSA, check out his Neotopia, it's awesome!

(Sir Rod, maraming salamat sa free autographed copy! :dummy:)

"'TOL, MAY MUTA KA PA"
Bati ko 'yan sa sarili ko sa salamin bago ako umalis last Sat, may meeting kasi ang :iconinfernokrusher: (siyempre tinanggal ko 'no?)

Ok, punta na 'ko sa "terminal" papuntang Baclaran, trapik ah. Pero tanaw ko 'yung sasakyan ko, nasa malayo, ayaw patakbuhin ng kupal na traffic enforcer (trivia: walang trapik dito nu'ng wala pang traffic enforcers, ini-enforce talaga nila ang trapik? :o) Walang trapik, kaso ginawang one-way ng mga kumag ang two-way highway, pinigilan 'yung mga sasakyan na palabas ng Cavite ang ruta tsk tsk! :no:

After ilang sandali, mga 50 minutes, nakaandar na rin mga sasakyan, yes! Nakasakay na 'ko. Manila, here I come (again), pagsapit ko sa Gahak, nagpuno pa ng pasahero 'yung driver, 'kaasar, 'kainip. Uy, teka may bumaba du'n sa isang bus, babae, pang-beach ang body (seksi talaga, promise!) naka-white polo-shirt with red stripes na damit kaya medyo nawala ang inip ko, pero saglit lang, pagtingin ko sa ibang mga pasaherong lalaki sa bus, parang pare-pareho kami ng iniisip (mga bastos!) :D

Okay, takbo na ulit. Hindi nagtagal nakarating ako sa Baclaran, pagbaba ko naglakad ako (naglalakad talaga ako papuntang mrt station, binobola ko sarili kong exercise 'yun pero ang totoo, kuripot lang ako), hindi pa 'ko nakakalayo nu'ng nakaamoy ako ng mabantot :iconimseriousplz:, amoy-imburnal, ewan ko kung dahil umulan nu'ng nakaraang gabi o hininga ko lang 'yun.

Pagsapit ko sa mrt station, may nakasalubong ako sa hagdan, lalaking naka-polo ng orange, parang uniform na sa gitna pa talaga dumaan kahit masikip 'yung hagdan, parang tulala 'yung lalaki o baka nadukutan, pagdating ko sa may riles sakayan na, hindi pa nakakababa 'yung mga nanggaling north, nagsusumiksik na papasok 'yung mga kasaabay ko, narining ko tuloy 'yung isang pababa "parang hindi makakasakay ah!" OO nga naman, nasa riles lang naman ang mga tren eh, hindi naman mawawala. Pagpasok ko suwerte, may upuan :iconaboishappyplz: uy, 'yung katapat ko, gandang babae, kaso kasama boypren (bakit an'daming seksi at maganda sa mundo? Tsk, tsk! Tama sila, maraming tukso sa mundo, iwas tayo dapat okie?)
May mga nakatayo sa tapat ko, may babae rin pero hindi ko na inalok ang upuan ko (madalas gentleman ako, pero that time, ayoko lang hehe pero na-guilty ako pagkatapos) nang bigla ko napansin 'yung katabi kong mama, kalbo, naka-long leaves (long sleeved poloshirt) nakasandal sa'kin, tulog. GRRR!
Pagtingin ko sa babaeng nakatayo, naka-short pala, maikli, iniiwas ko 'yung paningin ko sa tukso, may nahagip naman ang mata ko na binti, maputi at makinis, pagtingin ko, lalaki pala :iconsweatdropplz: kaya du'n na lang ako tumingin sa tsiks hehe :D

Okay, finally, dumating ako sa meeting place, teka bakit wala 'yung mga kasama ko? :iconaloneplz: baka sa ibang place ang meeting huhu :(

After ilang minutes, dumating si Sir Sho, then si Sir Lowe tapos sunod-sunod na. May dumating din na babae, seksi, dumiretso sa kabilang table,  naka-short ng maikli, labas ang likod, pagtingin ko kay Sir Lowe, napasulyap din siya du'n sa babae HAHA! SIR LOWE UMAMIN KA!! :lmao:

We discussed a lot of things, including the upcoming FREE COMICBOOK DAY on May 4th, sa Quezon Ave. 'yun, sa National Bookstore, KITA-KITS tayo du'n! :icongreatjobplz:
Tapos nanglibre sina Sir ng pizza, at chicken at salad, :iconhungryplz:

After that, nanood sila ng Iron Man 3, habang kami nina :icontikbaloycube: at Berlouie, pumuntang Nat'l Bukstore wala lang, bili si Brother Lui ng board peper habang nang-ookray kami ng mga comics sa shelves hehe :D Sabi ng isang babae du'n sale daw sa Sat ng graphic novels, Php 200 na lang 'yung iba, iniimbita kaming pumunta eh kasali naman talaga ang HPS du'n haha :icondontunderstandplz:
Inabot pa kami ng ulan, pambihira saglit lang 'yung ulan pagbalik namin BAHA NA! HANGGANG LEEG!  (ni Dagul) kaaya umiba kami ng ruta

Pagdating ko sa Taft, meron masasakyan papuntang Cavite kaya ok! :hooray: Pagdating ko sa Sm Bacoor, nakasakay na rin ako agad kaso pagdating ko sa Bacao, PUTEK! Trapik! Inabot ako ng 2 hours sa sasakyan kakahintay mag-go... 'Yun pala may sumabog daw na tangke yata or tanker ng lpg kaya ganu'n, akala ko nagti-trip lang 'yung mga enforcers hehe

Prior to that, sa biyahe, may babaeng sumakay sa bus, kaso puno na, nakatayo siya, dala yata ng guilt ko nu'ng umaga sa mrt, ibinigay ko 'yun upuan ko (sabi ko sa inyo gentleman ako eh ;p) kaya ako ang tumayo kaso mababa pala ang bus, sumakit ang leeg ko kakapilit papandakin ang sarili ko para kumasya GRRR!

After 2 hours nakauwi din ako. (FINALLY!)

Hindi ko natuklasan kung saan nanggaling 'yung amoy-imburnal :iconimveryseriousplz:

Nanonood ako ng Iba Balita sa Studio 23 kagabi hanggang dumako 'yung balita sa pagkabili ng ABS CBN sa karapatan sa mga likha ni Mars Ravelo, they flashed a slideshow when I saw this Captain Barbell by originalnameless
I was like: "WTF? Drawing ko 'yun ah! Pa'no napapunta 'yun du'n? HAHAHA!"
Hindi naman ako ipokrito, siyempre natuwa ako kasi HINDI OFFICIAL art ito yet napasali along with old pics of Vilma Santos as Darna, works of Gilbert Monsanto, Ryan Orosco, Reno Maniquis and even the great Mar T. Santana

(wala akong clip na mailalagay eh, sorry. Hanapin n'yo na lang sa net kung gusto n'yo maki-usyoso hehe)

When I looked at this, I saw my bro :iconys-liliumsynth: commented on it about it being on the news too pero sa TV Patrol niya napanood haha APIR! :highfive:

My explanation for that is, kasi most of CB fan arts today are GMA-7 related while itong gawa ko is CB sporting his 80's movie costume. Parang libreng plugging na rin para sa 'kin haha

I feel vindicated kasi napasali ang gawa ko, kahit hindi ako ganu'n kagaling because of someone said I draw "ONLY" "uber-muscular characters", well at least I impressed people who don't know me, have you? :D

The weirdest part is, I just finished a (failed) JoeMad-style Capt. Barbell fan art hours BEFORE the news aired. Whoa!
