Yessiree.....yet another post from yours truly....this one is going to be a short,art-related post....... The Completed Drawing....
A week or so ago,when Huiling,Wenjun and me met up for.......errr.....shopping....for Kuromi products throughout town......hahhaa....we started trailing off and talking about Nick names......anyway Huiling had previously gave Wenjun the nick name "Geeky Vampire" and I suggested that since Huiling's idea of recreation involves her downloading free movies and drama serials off the web.....she should be a pirate.....and since that picky fella ONLY downloads DVD QUALITY MOVIES...... She should just call herself "Picky Pirate"......hahha
So flashforward to A few days ago.....Wenjun called me up at 10.30pm and told me to go read her blog,cos she had updated it with some anime-ish artwork she drew of herself and Huiling.......as the Geeky vampire and Picky pirate...since I was in camp and had a 6 hrs long duty starting in 3 hrs time....I just mumbled that I would go look at her new posts when I got home and promptly went to bed.....
Well anyway my duty started at 2am.....and since it was going to last for the next 6 hours.....I started watching Al Pacino's Serpico on the office computer and I remembered about Wenjun telling about her drawings.....so I took a piece of A4 paper,some pens and highlighters and began to doodle my idea of what a Picky Pirate and Vampire would look like....
Many people might not know.....but I started off being A BIGGER fan of Jap comics then English comics...I was an Avid Reader of Akira Toriyama's DragonBall since I was in primary one all the way till Primary 6.......and I still have a HUGE soft spot for them........and a few months ago,for the sheer heck of it ....I pencilled this 2 page Gag strip featuring a anime-ish version of a well-known american comic character(Not Batman lar!),that I drew completely in the "Big eyes,Button nose" manga style except for the last panel where I had the character,drawn in the normal american comic style comment about how much he hates manga....hahha......so since I did some research before drawing the 2 pages......switching to the "Manga" style for this pin-up was pretty easy....
Since I don't have a scanner...here's some pics of what I drew..........The preliminary rough sketches.....
Before you start on ANY drawing....You gotta start doodling and putting your rough ideas to paper by sketching and refining whatever's in your mind.......so this is my first crude doodles I did in my office...... Geeky Vampire was actually going to be a western vampire but I thought that the Chinese vampire would be a cuter version to draw.....I also did some Joke-ish drawings of Davy Jones and Sao Feng too.......
I really like the rough sketches I did.....I thought whatever ideas I had came out quite well on paper....and i thought It would be a fun piece to work on....so I went back home and drew a quick but complete drawing of The Geeky Vampire and Picky Pirate......there wasn't much pre-planning and I added things spontaneously as I went....took me longer then expected though...5 hrs of my freaking life!!....hahha...and I even Threw in Davy Jones in the background cos I really LIKED the Takopachi Davy Jones that I doodled....hahaClose-up of Davy "Takopachi" Jones......
I drew Davy jones in really THICK lines because I wanted him to look almost exactly like the cartoon mascot of the popular Takopachi balls outlet.....and I wanted to change the skull emblem on his hate to differentiate it from Picky Pirates...so I did a skeletal star-fish..
Huiling A.K.A "The Picky Pirate"
This is Huiling as the Picky Pirate complete with Jack Sparrow breads,big-ass hoop earrings she likes to wear....skull-handled sabre and perched on her arm is her cute little pet Sparrow.....called.... Jack!!!
Wenjun A.K.A "The Geeky Vampire"
I decked her out in classic Chinese Vampire duds....tiny fangs,sharp claws,flock of pet bats,big-ass geeky specs, a top hat with bushy cotton ball and Smiley face.....and originally I wanted the emblem on the chest to be her SirName "Chua" in chinese....but I did'nt know how to write "Chua" in chinese....hahaha...so I put in a Dragon emblem....
A little Hair Ball.......
When I did the drawing....towards the end....I wondered out loud how would I look if I were to draw myself as a cartoon character......since being the artist of this piece....drawing myself in would be quite self-indulgent and since I hate manga.....I decided to draw this tiny Human Hair ball at the extreme right hand coner of the drawing which would be 90% close to how I would interpretate myself as a cartoon character....hahaha
Close-up of both The Geeky Vampire and The Picky Pirate
There ya go......The Geeky Vampire and Picky Pirate and their pets teaming up against Davy Jones and his Takopachi balls......Well..........alright This Drawing is dedicated to Huiling and Wenjun......So Enjoy....and The Squid is dedicated to Squid-lover Felix.....hahhaha....and with that.....let's put this post to bed....Its a wraaaaap!!
