For those wondering why I just suddenly dropped off from the face of dA, I have a couple of excu-Imean reasons...

For the most part I've been busy with more digital work, and those stuff I still can't show off yet. And one other reason is Facebook. Yes, I finally have a Facebook page, and yes, I'm such a dinosaur.

I always thought I'd never bother with those social networking sites (I already am active in plurk) but ever since my dear sister got married and had her first baby I couldn't help but share my lovely niece's pictures all around :XD: So add me ]]> http://batangbatugan.deviantart.com/journal/Devious-Journal-Entry-275721926 http://batangbatugan.deviantart.com/journal/Devious-Journal-Entry-275721926 Sun, 25 Dec 2011 04:33:47 PST Devious Journal Entry nonadult journals/personal batangbatugan http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/b/a/batangbatugan.gif?1 Copyright 2011-2013 *batangbatugan
Despite all the trials and tragedies that befell our poor li'l nation, we find solace and get back on our feet. Cherish what we got and enjoy every fleeting moment. Believe me when I say that sometimes, it's the little things that matter-be it a hug, a gesture, a cuddle, a phone call, or even a message online. =)

Look forward to the New Year, it's the year of the Dragon folks!:wave: ]]> http://batangbatugan.deviantart.com/journal/Zombies-Babies-Birthdays-Cosplay-amp-Komiks-255439200 http://batangbatugan.deviantart.com/journal/Zombies-Babies-Birthdays-Cosplay-amp-Komiks-255439200 Sun, 28 Aug 2011 02:36:33 PDT Zombies, Babies, Birthdays, Cosplay & Komiks nonadult journals/personal batangbatugan http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/b/a/batangbatugan.gif?1 Copyright 2011-2013 *batangbatugan

Aaaaanyway life kinda caught up with me, and lots of work, which unfortunately I can't post on dA so I've got nothing new to post. =( Except may be for the rest of Prodigal Son's Vol 2 pages.

What I can tell you is that I'm currently working on sports related stuff.

Thanks to :icontrevone::iconastrocrush::icononetamad: and all the good people online who gracefully responded, I just got dA (and GaiaOnline!) up and running again!:party: Thanks a million to y'all :worship:

And to give something back to the dA community, namely all those who are suffering the same fate, here's how to fix it!

THE SOURCE OF THE PROBLEM:
I turns out it IS PLDT's fault. For some reason their DNS server(those TCP/IP settings) are blocking dA, thus all we can see are text. I'm not sure if this is also happening to other major DSL providers, though.

THE SOLUTION:

What is cosplay?

It's a question I've answered over and over, and every time the answer has been the same wikipedia definition... up until Cosplay Mania 2008. As I watched the cosplayers during the event, remembered their stories, saw their dedication and their willingness to accommodate and entertain the crowd, cosplay itself began to take new meaning.

Cosplay is more than just costumes, more than just role-playing - it is something we've adopted th ]]> http://batangbatugan.deviantart.com/journal/COSPLAY-MANIA-2008-updates-See-ya-there-235600798 http://batangbatugan.deviantart.com/journal/COSPLAY-MANIA-2008-updates-See-ya-there-235600798 Fri, 10 Oct 2008 01:17:43 PDT COSPLAY MANIA 2008 updates/ See ya there! nonadult journals/personal batangbatugan http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/b/a/batangbatugan.gif?1 Copyright 2008-2013 *batangbatugan *********FRIDAY UPDATE!!!**********

1. What do you like about your style?

It's clean, for one thing:XD: But seriously, I like it because when I draw a character or a scene, people seem to be able to relate to it on an emotional level in one way or another. It's great to know that your art can give people that certain effect^^

Well, thanks to :icontheforgottenmale: he just got featured in The Forgotten Male JULY 2008 Edition

This comes as a complete and utter surprise^^ For one thing, I've never been featured in dA before, not even in a Daily Deviation. Also, I'd never imagined that piece to be worth being featured in anything, and especially not in that category:XD:

I'm very flattered of course=) It's just that I'm a bit surprised at all the other images included in the gallery:lmao: (let's just say, be warned on some of the content)

It was truly a three day celebration of brotherhood and unity through music and art. You could just feel it once the music started, everyone from the stage crew to the people in the booths start bobbing their heads, tapping to the beat and later on danced like crazy(I know I did- on stage, too! :XD: )

Check out performances by the Dawn, Greyhoundz, Kjwan, Joey "Pepe" Smith, Reklamo, The Late Isabel and Pinikpikan here! Sorry if some of the videos are bitin, there's only so much my 512 MB memory stick can take(I should get a bigger one for next year).

~~~~~~~~~INTERESTING STUFF ABOUT MY ART~~~~~~~~~

#10 I don't ink. I can't ink to save my own hide, 99% of my deviations are tight pencils darkened in Photoshop.

#9 I have zero fashion sense so all I can draw are either weird costumes or house clothes, and underwear. :doh:

#8 I always add lots of wrinkles and folds because they make the very normal and boring clothes in #8 look interesting.

#7 I like drawing pouty lips, even on guys, and black, m ]]>
