Findings from my one day Malacca trip
This is the logo of the business founded by famous and rich businessman in Malacca, Mr. Tan Kim Hock. He is a very smart businessman who produce innovative food products. One of his popular products is Dodol with coconut and durian flavored. From the logo, you can see some hints on his establishment. From my guess, the T stands for his first letter of his surname Tan, while the coconut tree symbol conveys a message that he innovatively make use of coconut to produce his products. I'm not so sure of the S and the circile in the center of the logo means and what it wants to communicate, perhaps is telling us that he is doing some kind of revolution on food products innovatively and he widely make use of coconut to produce his product? If you have other point of views, you are very welcome to email me. :)
(I have bought 8 packs of his Dodol product!)
A very nice sculpted fountain I have found in Melaka MegaMall.
I sculpted one of my character, Kong, from Old Odd Tales using Scupley polymer clay. I have spent about 2 work days to come out with the composition concept as well as clay sculpting Kong. I will try to paint Kong after he is BAKED.
Below are the tools that I have used for sculpting Kong. Other than that, I also used wire and aluminium foil for Kong amature, the wall and base.
I come across a quote by Friz Freleng when browsing Draw the Looney Tunes book, I find it very useful to those who are designing characters. Here it goes:
"I thought of Bugs myself as a character that existed. I never thought of him as a drawing. I always feel that Bugs Bunny lives somewhere, and I'm just making a drawing of him."
Create your character with a name, personality, background and her relationship with the environment she lives in and other characters she comes across, before you even think of drawing her.

Popularity of Photoshop
"... I wish that I could Photoshop on our bad memories Because the flashbacks, oh the flashbacks won't leave me alone ..."
The graphic software is so popular that the name of the software is used in the lyrics of Utada Hikaru's latest english song ("Come Back to Me"). Not surprisingly, we all also know what the word meant in her song.
As time goes by, I think more graphic software names will be used too, like, Illustrator, After Effects, 3ds Max, Maya, Z brush etc.
I love to create, design and develop
characters. Currently, I am developing story
for Old Odd Tales. Hoping to publish a graphic
storybook and create short animations. I have
been designing Old Odd Tales fashion and
merchandise too.
