Extracting our own blood sample and mounting the microscope was easy.

The hard part came to preparing dinner that very same day.



See, I tried to make porridge with kimchee, salmon and eggs.

I have no idea what happened to the eggs...

I also think that, somewhere along the way, I sort of burnt the rice so it came out dry and hard.

Now, back to our study on different blood groups.
Most of the girls were reluctant to prick themselves.
The boys... well, actually just one in particular... on the other hand, turned masochist and did several blood extraction. It was lolwhatareyoudoing-able.

Later, we observed how different blood groups would coagulate under anti-A and anti-B.

Now, working with a microscope, in a lab that smells strongly of antiseptics... that I know. I twirl around with glee on my laboratory chair when my lecturer isn't looking.

Operating a rice cooker in the kitchen, with a package of instant salmon flavoring in one hand and a container of ready-made kim chee in the other... that I don't know. And I very much doubt that I ever will.

It never occur to me until now, that holyshiet I am going to keep going hungry like this in the future if I don't marry a good cook

Maybe some strange chemical reaction occured with the eggs I had added for my porridge, and they coagulated before disappearing into time and space.

I have to admit that I sort-of envy my coursemates who were of blood group A, B and AB, as there were hardly anything to talk on my Overly-common blood type.

The porridge tasted awful by the way. I threw up not long after gulping it down and had to skip dental anatomy class the next day because of an extreme case of diarrhea.

Hey, do any of you know how to cook? how did you learn?

oh~ I haven't been uploading any new works lately.

Stuff that I draw lately are just head-shots T__T;; There's not much to show really...

Ahhh.. I can't believe people still visit my page! T-thankyou for dropping by!!

I appreciate every comment I receive~

Here's a doodle that I'm kind of satisfied with.






Ok, ok, I think... between photoshop and cooking, Cooking is still the ultimate boss

was what I said to friends who asked me how I was doing.

I soon regretted that.

We just received our timetable for next week -> end of sem

Now we have 6 subjects, and a total of 999999infinity classes wthhhhhhhh!??!?


and yet, the feeling of carrying mountains of medical books to and back from class in formal clothes while passer-by would stare at us in awe feels really great.


"oh yeah baby~"

our batch logo says it all.

*

I'm afraid I have not been using my DA sub (thanks again ! ;o to its full potential...

It's just that, not only do I have classes from 9 to 5, I also have... no internet connection at my university! (FAAAAILL!!)

We do have hot-spots and wifi in certain areas, buuuut.. it's really inconvenient... I mean, it's far from where I live and I have to go home with my course/housemates after class *sobs*

My housemates and I going to install our own internet line soon~ I hope we can get it by Sunday!

Anyways, just so I do not waste my sub...


Photo MeMe
Is there a photo you would like to see of my daily life? Do comment! and I'll try my best to fulfill your inquisitive mind... but please don't request something obscene/weird...

Secret Santa space

a-ahh.. I'm participating in a secret santa event. I guess it's safe to say that what I really want for Christmas is...

nice teeth

Dear secret santa, I hope it is ok for me to request such a thing! It can be a fan art, your original character, or any characters from my gallery. As long as it has nice teeth in it. Whoever you are and whatever you draw, I will be forever grateful! T___T

I started university in september. Gosh life as a dental student is very fun, but hectic at the same time!

behold my study table at my dorm


y-yes those stacks of books are my textbook for sem 1. (ohh! I can't wait for sem 2 btw *faints)

We haven't started microbiology and biochemistry...
And we have to study the stuff medical students have too such as gross anatomy, physiology and histology too wthhh do not judge us doctors! We can save life too!! theoretically!

all this is hurting my cerebrum. It feels like my saggital sutures are coming apart. I could swear, just the other day, I had Hydrocephalus and CSF fluids leaked from my nostrils.

Lectures on the other hand, are like roller coaster rides, many of my coursemates go home with severe Subdural Hematoma, torn pia mater, and crushed pons.

I'm falling so behind! I dunno what to doooooo ;o;

Perhaps, I should blame my daily dinner for my lack of brain-power...


I-I need more brain food... but we can't cook at the dorm and the cafeteria food is damn expensive!

Are any of you living in a dorm? How do you survive??

*

ahh also,
the other day I got invited by as a guest artist for a basara anthology book.

Was supposed to send in a preview of my full work today...
b-b-b-b-b-but truth be told, I...... haven't started on it am still working on it ooohhhhh!! *shot*



It feels a bit weird to draw realistic looking macho men in my cartoon-ish style.

please do not worry! This is not the actual preview/picture! (it is just a silly doodle)

*clings to kou-chann's feet* I-I'm sorry! OTL OTL OTL ;;;;;;;;;;;






...
so how has everyone's life been?

However, the main purpose of this journal is not to rant about how cute Lag Seeing is, or to discuss whether Gauche Suede is more mysterious than Gérard([link]) of Fairy Tail
(gosh I read too much manga)

Instead, let us dwell in a more 'intelligent' subject such as 'fear'.

Fear comes in many forms. For the typical shounen manga hero, it's either a fear of saying goodbye or losing someone.

I for one, am not a hero from a shounen manga...

Back in my childhood days, when computers were relative new and games came in 2D, I used to have a great fear of pac-man



I thought that it was the most terrifying thing on earth. Especially when the monsters come after you.
I would scream while I played it... and that was after I've gotten enough guts to click 'start'.

10 years later, I find that I still haven't gotten over the fear of it. It's kind of pathetic.

On second thought, I am actually really pathetic. I don't dare to play resident evil or fatal frame (or any scary games of that sort) alone.
In fact, I even cover my eyes when my brother/friends are playing it... and that is 'I' cowardly hiding under a blanket or hugging a huge pillow.

My heart will beat fast and I still get frighten despite constantly telling myself that 'it's just a game'.

I have such a fragile mindset lol.

To date, the only games I've played are Pokemon, Professor Layton, Phoenix Wright, and Disgaeaaaaa hahahaha T___T



so do share with me,
How is it that you're not afraid of scary things?

note regarding commissions/art trades : I'm terribly sorry for the delay! Don't worry, I haven't forgot about it yet!! Will get to your requests asap >m<

thankyou!

Life lately is pretty much hectic. I've just started university 2 weeks ago and I hadn't been able to get online until today. I apologize for any unreplied comments/notes. I will get to them asap!

ahh I haven't drawn anything for 2 weeks!! My daily life is pretty much wake-up > school > back to dorm > study > sleep

How I miss college life / the holidays!

Dental 1st year is great so far~ Most of my coursemates are really nice and helpful!
There are girls who read manga and watches anime too in my class! haha~ yaaaay~~

And they are so creative!

Even when it comes to reading an advertisement on the newspaper, they managed to come up with the most random things!

Our professors are cool! However, our lecturers require us to look and act professional so we have to be closet manga fans and wear formal clothes to school.

I never knew collar-shirts and slacks could be so uncomfortable! I miss casual t-shirts/hoodies and baggy jeans. T___T

oh, another interesting thing...
in my class, there are only 4 guys.
and 21 girls.

Studies on polls also show similar percentages/results on DeviantArt.
Are boys getting extinct?

I apologize for being really inactive lately. Nevertheless, I still read and feel grateful to all the comments/suggestions/criticisms I receive! I-I-I-I don't deserve this *sobs*
Thankyou!

I'll try to clear as much messages as I can over the weekends (and work on commissions) OTL

once again thankyou!

I'm afraid I can't really explain how I draw anatomy... but here, you can easily see that I work from a basic 'stick-man', adding depth as I go.






This is the first time I'm trying this sort of style in Photoshop CS4. I think it's much 'cleaner' than my usual digital style with quick, random brush-strokes.

Those who have seen me work with pencils will notice that I tend to draw eyes/head first. However, when it comes to digital I like to work on the 'overall' image first before adding in details like eyes and such.
This is because, while I'm able to picture a "body base" on paper, I am unable to do so on the computer monitor lol... Working like this allows better control of drawing anatomy as I can easily spot any errors I've made... I think...

Nevertheless, the best way to study anatomy is to observe the people around you. It helps by carrying a pen and paper around so you can quickly sketch up 'stick-people' of interesting poses that you come across.




and finally




I like to draw and experiment a little too much. Many times I find myself with more doodles than actual 'refine' works.


my study table ehuehue~

This is how I study anatomy. (I'm forced to in order to pass my exams)


ahh... a quick note : I really don't think I qualify to upload download-able tutorials on DA without proper art education... my stuff are all trial-and-error/experimental see... but if there's anything you'd like to see, you may request so in a note/comment and I will try my best to provide it.

Then maybe everyone can like... share and discuss drawing techniques? OTL

so...
What 'style' do you use to draw anatomy? Do you use reference?

bought me a sub! thankyou!! TwT I'll get to your commission asap!

here are some old sketches





speed-sketch practise for an on-the-spot character design competition at a local comic convection. However I couldn't make it at the last minute lol..

I recently got a macbook pro~ I'm still learning how to use it. I keep getting confused over the position of key short-cuts. Like when I revert back to my old Acer laptop(with Windows installed), I hit the alt+z key instead of ctrl+z... and vice versa when I'm on my mac.

Also... there is no openCanvas or SAI on mac! T___T I am forced to learn to use Photoshop and Painter.

Painter is seriously cool! I feel like I can never use openCanvas again haha.. it has so many functions! *__* I...wish I had more years/experience with it though... I'm not entirely sure how the layers work. And it seems that the colours blend differently with different 'tools'... I am entirely lost!

I like the oil pastel brush!



(Doodle of 's Leo ... I apologize for the messed up and entirely inaccurate colour scheme. Somehow I tend to read yellow/blonde/green as light-blue/gray... I didn't realised it until I saw other fanart of him T__T )




I think the colours blend more naturally than in openCanvas, as seen here of a doodle I did with 's Farant.





ahuehue sorry for experimenting with your characters donguri and mooffin ;o;
I think LeoxFarant (notice how Farant is bottom here) is super hot

but I will restrain from saying anymore because I suspect a stalker (or several stalkers from school) who I know in rl that have found out I can draw and are on a mission to trace all my works. I'm kind of afraid they will find things they shouldn't see and think of me as something weird OTL;;;;

Oh haaay if you're one of those people and reading this, I'm really a kind-hearted person who likes to rescue strays.
Really!!

I don't read p0rn I'm not into this kind of stuff.
Don't google my username anymore.


Lately my internet is really retarded... my line keeps disconnecting OTL

I have photoshop cs4 but... the lines just can't compare to Paintool SAI! T__T;

I managed to get openCanvas 4 to work on Snow Leopard with Crossover, unfortunately it is unable to read my tablet's pressure sensitivity.
Not that I mind since I usually cg on openCanvas without pressure sensitivity...
But without this feature, I can't use the "Spoon Pen" tool anymore T___T

It is very tragic!

SAI on the other hand won't work at all.

I'd like to stay in Snow Leopard because it's really fast and smooth. I can run Photoshop, openCanvas4, listen to music, watch a movie and surf 10 different webpages at the same time, without lag, ohoho~wooooow I'm in love!

Both programs work in Vista, but that operating system keeps freezing and crashing on me especially when I work with big files.

I know of BootCamp, but then it'll be like switching entirely to Vista for the sole purpose of drawing-lineart in SAI. I also heard that you can't share programs between Vista and Mac OS either?

all my parents had to do was to show me a picture of a field, or some wide open space, and I'd start trembling in excitement and bounce around the place.

I remember running barefooted across the muddy fields of a park in town. Sometimes I would trip over myself and fall, but I always pull myself back to my feet and continue to run/scream/shout. I had no other siblings at that time. My only friends were ladybugs, grass-hoppers and the occasional sparrows which I would roar and stomp after like a dinosaur.

I'd always wanted to be a dinosaur when I grow up.

On rainy days when I was not allowed to go out, I would squat by the door of the living room of our old house. The front porch always got flooded with water. Whenever it did, I would call out to my mother, who was very skilled in origami.

She made paper boats for me to sail.

It was then did I saw myself as a pirate.

Be it playing under the sun or rain, whenever I turned around my parents would be sitting and watching me in a corner. I asked them to play with me, only to be disappointed by a polite shake with their head.

My parents saw me run all the time, but I've never seen my parents run.

They were so serious and no fun at all. Humph! Back then, I vowed that I would not end up boring and dull like them.



Then I grew up.



That part of me that enjoyed running outdoors and watching the falling rain died along the way. What's more with the pressure of school, teachers, friends, life-goals and having to set a good example for my younger sibling, I became super serious.

I am neither a dinosaur nor a pirate.

What's worst is that I've developed a fear of wide-open spaces...

Looking back, I wonder if my child self would be severely ashamed of what I've become.


Would yours?

4. Go to their pages and send a message saying you tagged them.
5. No tag-backs.



1. I started reading Manga(Full Metal Alchemist) when I waas 15 and it has become the only love of my life~ Marvel, DC, original comics... I just love comics! I-I don't watch a lot of anime or cartoons though..

2. I'm allergic to tons of stuff. Beef, seafood, sunlight(uv), certain types of nuts, coffee, chocolate.. but I don't care. I still consume all these food despite knowing the consequences (rashes, migraine, vomiting, diarrhoea...)

3. I'm a beauty/cosmetic fanatic. My favourite brand is SkinFood. Every time I step into the store, I exit with tons of products, samples, free gifts and a huge hole in my wallet. orz

4. I don't like to wear ties, trousers, belts or shirts that are too stiff and suffocating. t-shirts and tight jeans all the waaaaay~ I also prefer watches over wristband. High socks over short. Thick over thin.

6. I'm not even 19 but I keep thinking I'll be turning 21 soon.

7. It's a dream of mine to marry a sweet, kind-hearted girl I've known since childhood, who, I will dress up in cute, flowery little dresses and serve her breakfast in bed everyday. We will live in a cosy cottage and have 10 daughters and go on honeymoons 3 times a year. And every time I come back from work I shall be surrounded by all my little girls and blush in happiness~ screw any sons I have
then I realised.. I don't know any sweet, kind-hearted girls in my childhood.
Maybe in my next life.

8. My childhood.. it is all about catching tadpoles in the drain and kung-fu fighting... Occasionally my dad who used to be in the military would drag my brother and I to go hiking through the jungle, swimming in the rivers, take out the garbage and clean the toilets. MANLY TO THE CORE.

9. I like sweet things but I don't like cakes, ice-cream, candy or cookies. Noooo~ My source of sugar comes from fruits. My favourite fruit is the potato. I don't like Bananas though. They are just too sweet and gross! grossss!! it's like putting a dick in my mouth.

10. I don't like bl, yaoi, yuri or het. Actually I'm a very sensitive person.
I think that as long as there's no physical contact, making dinner together is more romantic than making love.

At the mean time, let's talk manicure.

As you know, a manicure is a cosmetic beauty treatment for the fingernails and hands performed either at home or in a nail salon by a professional nail technician.

Not to be confused with a Mantisaur, which is a comic book character that first appeared in HE-MAN : Masters of the Universe.

I've always wanted to get a manicure. But somehow, it never worked out.

Back in my teenage years I took piano, and my teacher did not approved of long nails. I had to cut it so short to the point where I couldn't see any whites at all!

Then when I started college and had a bit more freedom, I still failed to get decent nails because I was too broke busy to bother.

College is over now. But with work and an original comic to work on, I can barely find time to start/maintain proper nail care too! humph!?

Talk about horrible time management!

Anyways, if you could paint your nails in any style that you want, what kind of style would you go for? (If you're a manly, macho man reading this, I'm all ears/eyes for your opinions as well)

Short nails vs long nails?

I personally think that Zoro the Marino from OnePiece would look awesomely scary with epic, glow-in-the-dark nails.

Luffy would approve.

and that was all I ever wanted in 1997. How much did those things costed then? a mere 1.00 ringgit? perhaps a little more or less. That would be roughly usd$0.30

at that time and in the small town where I grew up in, children my age merely had 2 ten cents to rub together. Particularly children whose father had just graduated from university, and whose mother didn't work at all.

the only stationary I had was a few half-used pencils my father picked up at his lecture hall. The ones careless students left behind and never bothered to retrieve; and a tiny eraser a classmate gave me after getting grossed out when I tried to erase an error on my homework with my thumb and a bit of saliva.

I knew with the constant arguments that my parents had, that we weren't very well-off.

yet I still wanted a mechanical pencil. Just because all the cool kids in school had one.

A mechanical pencil is such a wonderful invention! no more scraping off the tip of blunt pencils with a knife. You just have to click the top part with your thumb and you can start writing. and wow! What crisp lines!! It is a miracle!

In the end I never got to own one until some time in 1999. My father somehow managed to get his hands on 3.

All of them looked horrible. Nothing like the colourful ones the kids at school were using. No "PILOT-SHAKER" , "FABER CASTELL" or "STABILO". nothing.

Somewhere in another room, I thought I heard my mom shout as she questioned my dad if he had been salvaging trash for me again.

"What is wrong with just spending a ringgit or two?"

but I didn't care. I had my 'tick tiak 笔(pencil)', or so that was what I called it as I did not know the word "mechanical". I was so happy. I'm going to bring them to school tomorrow and show them to all my friends!

I think the other 2 got stolen after that.



The last purple one I had malfunction recently. ahh.. the mechanism inside broke.

Not that it matters as I've tons and tons of "PILOT-SUPER GRIP" , "PILOT-SHAKER", and "FABER CASTELL" now.

then again, this 'tick tiak' pencil have been with me all these times. From when I fought with a boy in the 2nd grade to get it back after he stole it, to the time when I was a hot-blooded 15 year-old and hurled it against the wall out of frustration after finding out that my best friend copied off my school assignment and took all the credit.

I was kind of hoping that this frightfully ugly purple mechanical pencil would grow old and shrivelled up with me, so I could tell my great-grand children how awesome their great-grandmother was to defend it against all sorts of malicious demons...

Now I can only tell them the story of how I stood on tip-toes at my bedroom window and my super epic struggles to stay awake until 12am just to watch the fireworks of the 2000 millennia. Compared to my first mechanical pencil, it is not a very interesting story, but I guess that will have to do.

what was your first pencil like?

Come to think of it, I couldn't tell the difference between boys and girls either...
At kindergarden I wore t-shirt and pants... so did everyone else.
I thought that everyone was the same.

I thought everyone had the same birthday as I, since everyone celebrated chinese new year on the same date.
I thought everyone's parents were like mine, and thought that everyone's grandparents looked like mine.

However as I became older, I came to realise the difference between people. See, in elementary school, we learnt of 'you' and 'I'.

Started wanting this, that, that other thing that I don't have, and that person over there too.

Just because there was some thing that 'you' have and 'I' don't. This is why we are different. Hence conflict.

But really, how different are we?

I guess we're like food.
Doesn't matter if what you consume is luxurious, good looking or not, as everything comes out as poop in the end.
The only difference is whether that particular 'food' is good or bad; healthy or junk.

So the main point is...
Don't wear tinted spectacles while you're cging. Or else you'll realise that the colours that you picked will appear different than what you initially wanted.

***

I'm currently open for commissions until the end of this month.

Price range is around usd$5 for black-white character sheet (full body, no background) ;
usd$10-usd$20 for black-white ink/pencil sketch with background ;

and err..I'm not too confident with my cg skills... it's usually hit or miss so I don't know how much to charge for it yet.

Do drop me a note if you're interested~

Y : ahhh!!! I don't know what to do! I can enter X University with my current forecast but I'll be expel if my real results do not meet the university entrance requirement!

Now, do take note that I was sketching something at the time of the conversation...

Me : I'm the one who should be worrying... I think I'll fail statistics.

Y : HAIYA you always get A for statistics tests.

Me : Not this time, see there was only 7 questions for our final exam.

Y : ..and?

Me : I might get more than 7 questions wrong.

and Y broke out into a hysterical laugh.

Y : ...
WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT.



the most depressing part was that it took me several minutes to realised what I'd just said...
My mouth, it doesn't co-operate with my braaaaaaaaaaain. Way to go Pchaness! Coordination FAIL.

*

Lately I've been very troubled. I-I dunnooo.. Because my forecast results were rather good I got offer letters to most of the universities that I applied to.

say...

Oral Health at New Castle, Sydney, Australia
Bachelor of Science at University of South Australia
Nursing at University of Tasmania

A lot of Universities from India also sent me offer letters to study Dentistry at India
(HUUH.. @_@ )

of course, I applied for local universities too for Dentistry course.

HOWEVER, I THINK/KNOW that my actual results will be much, much horrible than my trial results... I'm afraid I won't be able to get in Dentistry for my local University...

There's the option of going to India since the entry requirements are lower... but I'm afraid of going to Indiaaaaaaaaaaa for 5-7 years.

I want to go to Australia. But ahh there is no such thing as Oral Health and Bachelor of Science in MALAYSIA... will I be able to get a job with Oral Health and Bachelor of Science in Australia and live there forever and ever? T__T;



My art buddies keep asking me...

"Hey when are you going to realise that you're not made for science and change to art?"

ahh.. I don't know what to do. Hey hey heeeeey what do most of you want to be when you grow up?

When I was 5 years old, I wanted to be a shepherd. *random

Still on hiatus until the 20th June, but I really need some help T__T;

I... I think I've asked this question before... but somehow I can't remember the solution to it...

When toning at 300dpi, uhh... we see tones as dots right? but when I resize the picture, sometimes weird patterns will appear in the tones that I use.

for example : [link]

there are some kind of huge ugly dots(girl's skin, lower left panel) I think that it is very ugly...!!

I remember reading that you can make the dots disappear by "blurring" the tones. But then... wouldn't it be the same as using "gradient/paint bucket + gray colour" instead of going through all the trouble to select which tones to use and such?
... sharp details of the tone would be lost too wouldn't it?

or... am I experiencing this sort of problem because I'm working at 300dpi? I heard that some artists work at 600dpi for comics that will be printed! My poor computer is already lagging at 200dpi... 300dpi is my maximum. *sobs

And... will those alien patterns disappear on printed paper?

I'm so sorry for asking such ridiculous questions... but... any experience/advice in comics will be greatly appreciated! OTL;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
and if you have none, your views on this issue will be appreciated as well!

This is something that I'm still working on.

My comic style is so skethcy, sharp, crisp and PIXELATED ;__;

T-that can't be good right?? *panics

NEVERTHELESS! Dear rivals, I will not lose to you. >:


So I challenged my rivals to a MANLY duel of six-packs and muscle-men!


's fighter

the battle is getting heated!

Both fighters look strong. *_____*



but alas, they cannot win against I.

For my fighter is the legendary...

Who can rape ko manly men with his intense stare!!!

(I admit defeat in this round. I think ~b-snippet is the winner here for her 6-packs are very realistic. I like =m00ffinhead's shading too)

If any of you have ideas for any more duels do inform me on twitter/DA note!


Note to who challenged me to a SEME duel of facial hair, I will draw a furry face of myself after my hiatus.

and now the real purpose of this journal...

-PCHANESS WILL BE ON HIATUS UNTIL 20TH JUNE- The reasons being final exams and some stuff to sort out. I'll still be updating my twitter from time to time~

For Biology, we did a study on immune system this week. At first I wanted to write a long journal entry about B and T Lymphocytes; memory and plasma cells; and why, with our advancing technology and antibiotics, is there still no known cure to 'flu'... but I figured out that you can read about those stuff in the papers or wikipedia. Since 'H1N1' seems to be the talk of the town at the moment.

Part 3 of my drawing process (from my previous journals)



somehow I survived after sketching the dragon... I also managed to draw a childish-looking castle without any reference

added more details to the 'tree stump' Unicorn is sitting on. This is how the overall picture looks from a far.


random fact:
Did you know that 'Unicorns' in Chinese mythology differs from those in the West? In chinese, 'Unicorns', more commonly known as Qilin, is said to appear in conjunction with the arrival of a sage, and looks nothing like a gay pony with an erected horn. Although it's appearance is fearsome, the Qilin only punishes the wicked. It is normally gentle but can become fierce if a pure person is threatened by a sinner, spouting flames from its mouth and exercising other fearsome powers that vary from story to story. - (source Wikipedia)



some cracks to the skulls.


ALMOST THERE!!




notice here that I use a piece of blank paper to place my hand on when I shade to avoid smudging.

...
an attempt to draw "soil"


as you can see, my hatching skill is very lousy... I should get ~Xephyr26 or ~Minochi to teach me how to hatch properly one day.


oh well, we learn from our mistakes right?


and that's pretty much it.


thanks for viewing! Recording the entire procedure had been fun. I hope you enjoyed it.


]]> *pchaness http://pchaness.deviantart.com/journal/24422772/ http://pchaness.deviantart.com/journal/24422772/ Sat, 25 Apr 2009 06:48:25 PDT Hepatitis B is a disease caused by hepatitis B virus which infects the liver of hominoidae, including humans, and causes an inflammation called hepatitis. About a third of the world's population, more than 2 billion people, have been infected with the hepatitis B virus. This includes 350 million chronic carriers of the virus. Transmission of hepatitis B virus results from exposure to infectious blood or body fluids containing blood.

The acute illness causes liver inflammation, vomiting, jaundice and—rarely—death. Chronic hepatitis B may eventually cause liver cirrhosis and liver cancer—a fatal disease with very poor response to current chemotherapy. The infection is preventable by vaccination.

-source Wikipedia

Just thought I'd post something educational since not a lot of people seems to be aware of what "Hepatitis B" is. I for example, used to thought Hepatitis B as a form of HIV Virus (BIOLOGY FAIL).

*

Part 2 of my drawing process (from my previous journal)

Now where were we? Oh yes! The background...



for the background I decided on a dragon, a dying tree and a magical kingdom in a faraway land. (I'm such a sucker for this kind of thing T__T )



work on the dragon~





did you know that back in secondary 3, we had 'art' as a compulsory subject? I was so untalented in that subject, that I had to attend a special class with pre-scholars for a month! I was the eldest there. I felt so tall, huge and mighty.

The first day of class, we were taught to draw blood-thirsty ~*~*~DRAGONS~*~*~ lol... what kind of teacher teaches pre-scholars to draw blood-thirsty dragons?! I wanted to crawl under the under-sized table and die when most of them managed better than me...

But all those bad memories are in the past now.



I now proceed to outline what goes where in the background. As you've probably noticed, my style of sketching is very ambiguous. I have a terrible habit of starting to work on something and switching to another before it is completed. I blame my blood group on this.


Hornbil's home


The Tree we call Yggdrasil. It is rotting.


Unicorn's emo kingdom of skulls



start to shade the tree.



and to add more facial details to the dragon.



To many, the Dragon and Unicorn often play an important role in bed-time stories, as well as in books, movies, and children games. Both are well-known creatures that don't even exist, yet play an important part of our growing up.



For some reason, I always wonder which has the greatest 'influence'. It's like the Dragon and Unicorn are always competing to be the symbol of every child's defination of 'fairy tale'.

In this case, if Unicorn is surrounded with death, I shall make the Dragon of this picture out of life.



or so I thought (I day-dream a lot while I draw don't I?)...
...until I realised I couldn't draw leaves properly. WTHHHHHHHH.

Thankyou for reading so far!
I hope you look forward to Part 3~

For our last bio lab this semester, we were given a tray of organism to examine and classify.

One of them kept trying to escape.



it was seriously cute!



According to our lecturer, it was called a 'whelk', a type of Animal (Mollusca) with one flat, muscular foot.

In other words, it is a chinese delicacy. Unfortunately, we were not allowed to eat or drink in the lab. Hence we couldn't eat it...

Nor could we eat the fish and crab and earthworm either T__T;

*

Anyways, a tutorial that I promised... though it's more of a step-by-step procedure on how I draw on paper.

Usually, I start with 'stick figures' and position my guide lines.


I like to draw the eyes first as eyes are a sort of 'focus point' to me. Some people might argue that it is more efficient to draw the eyes last... though I think, whether it is best to draw the eyes first or last depends on the preference of each individual.



I start to work on the face of the characters. This is still at a very 'draft' stage. There are many proportion errors, but we'll fix that in a while.



right, so after I'm satisfied with the face(head), I proceed to work on the body; using a 0.5 mechanical pencil, I lightly plan and sketch the outline of the character's outfit... It's not very visible in the photo T_T; I need a better camera.



Once I'm content with the designs, I start to darken the lines and add details such as shadows while erasing un-used pencil lines with a small eraser, repositioning out-of-proportion limbs and fixing parts that doesn't 'look right'.








and of course, all the while brainstorming for a decent background...
You see, it is crucial to plan ahead so you will not constantly be lost and confused as I...



I'll post part 2 soon~

by the way, I have entirely no idea how to use stamps or css... EPIC FAIL I'd say... TmT

Haven't had time to set up a css journal... maybe I'll try to learn it when I come home from school next week?

*

went through D.Grayman manga last night to look for reference on Victorian Era clothing... In the end I ended up rereading the whole series lol! I must say... I really love the action and panelling of the latest chapters T___T I wish I could draw as intensely as that!

of course, I didn't spend my weekend reading mangas... I doodled a bit with my tablet which I haven't touched for 3 months(?!).
I realised I can't draw on the computer anymore. OTL



I tried to make a cg tutorial... but UK (Hetalia) ended up looking really gay so I had to cropped the whole picture lol!

US is so difficult to draw too T__T; I think my biggest weakness is drawing glasses. Somehow, when I draw characters with glasses, they start to look like perverted old men.

Truth be told, I really love to draw fanarts of Hetalia, Odin Sphere, Full Metal Alchemist and The Legend of Zelda...

I used to draw a lot of Ranma1/2 fanarts when I first started drawing...

....

y'know I just spent the last 10 minutes going through my files searching for my Ranma1/2 fanarts to show you all how horrible my art-style was back then. It ended in epic failure... I think I must have thrown it out(?)

On the bright side, I found some old sketches I did of my characters in


GOSH THEY PUT ME TO SHAME! D:

Just look at Tyr for instance...


now compare it with


wait, now that I look at it again, I think both pictures look really sucky... Come to think of it I kind of like the 1st design...
at times like this I feel like digging a hole for me to die.

I found the first designs of PPB too but it's too shameful lol ;;;


How have your style changed over the years?

I made an entire petri dish of those stuff!



but one of them turned out unusually cute


I was so excited! I took it around the lab and showed it off to all my friends... I thought it looked like a little tadpole.

Unfortunately, my coursemates thought it looked like a spermatozoa. WTH.

So, after a lot of reasoning, my scientific analysis came to the conclusion that BIOLOGY students are all perverts.

Here is a photo of Qing Qing from my previous journal.



He's shy and claims to be 162cm tall but we all know that is a lie.

Did I mention that he starts yawning and nodding off to sleep at 9pm? I can hold up to 1am with the help of coffee; can go on without sleep for several nights because he is a student of The One Academy.

You're such a baby Qing Qing lol. How will you get yourself a wife?

But do not let his chibi-ness fool you. This human of 19 years can finish 2 bowls of noodles all by himself and still feel hungry! I'm damn serious!!!

*

and here is an attempt at realism which I did out of fun.


ANATOMY FAIL.
At times like this I think Biology is a really useless subject.

How has your week been?

I want to share something with you.


This is a chocolate condom or a condom chocolate that my dorm-mate's sister bought for her. She came to my room just to show it to me LOL! It was at the same moment that I was revising for my Statistic exam with my course-mate.

Now this coursemate of mine is very cute. By that, I meant that he is as tall as me.

I am 150cm.

SO my dorm-mate and I were examining the condom chocolate or chocolate condom... when my cute course-mate suddenly said

"I've never seen a condom before."

WTHHHHHHHHHHHHH Qing Qing?! how will you find yourself a wife?!

It took us several minutes to explain to him that it is actually a candy shaped like a condom and not the real thing.

I think I will post some step-by-step pencil sketches next XD;;;

--------
I have the strongest urge to eat a cake. I don't think I've eaten a cake for the longest time. I haven't seen a firefly for the longest time too...

Life has been busy lately with exams and medical check-ups. I had my blood test this morning. The needle they used to extract my blood was so big! I thought I was going to die T____T

such a long time of being absent from DA... All the people that I've watched have improved so much! It kind of feels like watching your friends or favourite artist grow up. You tend to feel happy and proud of them~

As for myself, I think my anatomy skills are getting rusty lol!

I have another headache at the moment. I will need to sleep soon.

Thanks everyone who have commented on my works! I will try my best to get back to all of you~ And don't worry, I haven't forgotten about the commissions that I still owe *u*; I will get to that after my nap.



Let's talk about webcomics.

Webcomics are great in my opinion. They are free, original, and most of the time, they have artistic styles and humour that you don't find in professional comics.

I'm sure most of you have a SmackJeeves account or a webcomic online? My favourites are "Floor 13" and "Relic". I'm also a fan of "9th Elsewhere"... though I haven't been up to date with that comic for a while now T__T

oh oh! Recently I've been reading I-Hunt by *vivianpop12 ! I like how it updates frequently. I wish I could draw fast like that.

What's your favourite web-comic? Or if you own a web-comic online, please do share it~ XD I'm all eyes.

COMPOSITION FAIL ARGH

I find it difficult to draw characters interacting with each other.

but then again...

[link]

it's not like I can come up with anything decent when I'm fully awake either.

I really admire the insane talents they have at pixiv.

I felt sad when I came to know that Ellegarden suspended 2 YEARS AGO... I really like their music...

My bio's teacher's advice...

"suck a cup of warm, salt water up your nose. You should be able to feel and direct the flow of water in your nasal cavity. Have it rinse out all your mucus and spit it out through your mouth."

As a swimmer, I am aware how horrible it is to have water sucked up your nose... so I'll leave that to my last resort...

But ahh.. is there no other way to cure a blocked nose? I can't sleep peacefully without coughing and wheezing at night. At times I have to sit up in bed for hours until my nose is cleared.

I'm always tired in the morning and afternoon. T___T;

I have to go back to school in 2 hours. BAWWWLLL I AM GOING TO MISS MY INTERNET!!

been doing traditional works lately such as pencils and ink because I don't even have a computer at my dorm WHRYYYYYYYYYY... I don't really like using the computers at my school because it's closely monitored T__T;
sometimes I try to reply emails and the internet connection dies all of a sudden too... UGH SO PATHETIC.

is so kind for drawing me [link] !! THANKYOU SO MUCH! It always makes me happy to receive artworks from friends!

kind of wish I could post pictures in my DA journals... but I am still saving up for a new phone and a scanner and perhaps a new bottle of black indian ink... I AM SUCH A HARDCORE INK ABUSER T___T;;

for those who wishes to see my sketches, doodles, and speedpaints, I do post them on my LJ and MangaBullet. (I am pchaness on LJ; ryouhora on MB)

---

hey can I ask a question?

At school I am afraid to let others see my notes because I tend to doodle during lectures. When any of my coursemates DO see them though, they immediately assume that I'm the shallow fangirl-type that watches moe animu. It doesn't help when all my coursemates are UGH SUPER GENIUSES THEY KNOW THE TRUE MEANING BEHIND "e = MC^2"... I am always intimidated by their awsomeness at being able to give straight answers to the questions our lecturer asks. Unlike me.. who always silently screams "HEY HEY HEY WAIT I STILL DON'T KNOW THE DIFFERENCE WITH CAM AND C4 PLANTS AND WHUT THE HELL IS THAT SYNAPSE THING?!"

anyways... I also come to know a few of my coursemates who enjoy drawing aswel. But the style they draw are 100% realism... like... they can paint a tiger with just a bottle of black ink and water *___*;;; and when we exchange sketchbooks they'll say "ah! Yours is graphics style! Even though it looks fake it's very well-drawn" and they'll start talking about how difficult it is to master realism style etc. etc.

I am very confused... is there such a huge difference between 'anime' style and 'realism' style? Maybe I am just naive... to me people is people no matter how one draws it. A boy is a boy and a girl is a girl.

Do you think "realism" portrays a more 'mature' mind?

I wanted to celebrate by drawing a picture because I haven't drawn anything for ages.

well, okay, don't panic! I can still do some inking...

Then suddenly... JENG JENG JENG my black marker ran dried HALF WAY THROUGH THIS PICTURE

Yes I'm such a cheap loser that I can only afford to buy one marker that is the colour black... and it's not even copic markers... noooo~ my black marker is the normal marker you use to scribble on white boards.

I wanted to enter 's manga contest ([link]) ... but I didn't like the one shot I did of "That Bridge"--which you can find on smackjeeves... but it sucks too much. My manga style is completely different than my illustrating style to the point that I upload my manga/comic works under a different name. *FAIL

so I got started on "VS" (it is a story about aliens yay~) around the beginning of december, but with the draft being 60+ pages I decided to put it on hold and work on something simpler until I've had more experience in inking/toning/paneling.

It was around that time too that got me a GPen...... and I suddenly had this inspiration to dedicate a fluffy story for my beloved junior who's having a hard time right now. Hence I started to work on "Eric^2"... a bl/seniorxjunior story (WTF AM I SERIOUS?!)... because I think she likes this kind of thing... no wait, she likes Kingdom Hearts and Rep0rn but I really can't draw fanarts... OTL

the draft of "Eric^2" is 22 pages long... I've had some experience with paneling and toning then so somehow all was good if you minus my lack of background skills... The first 10 pages came out clean and simple, well... it is a simple story after all. Simple and clean is good right?

[link]


Then I realise NO SHIET I won't be able to enter this in ~vivianpop12 's contest with such a mushy, slow-paced story like this!!! ! OTL?!

Well, that's ok. I could always rush my alien draft of "VS". Again, the plot is shallow and predictable... could figure out the whole story just by looking at 2 panels... but at least there's aliens fighting and gore something going on! T__T;;;
and I kind of like the mature, semi-realism style of it...

[link]


Then I reread the contest rules and realised that the deadline is on JANUARY 15 2009 AAAAAAAAAAUUUUURGHHHHH!!!

I don't know why I keep thinking it was around March?! why I am such a failure at time management!! WHYYYY?!!?

I also hope to be able to join and print an illustration book by the end of next this year. I've already thought of a story and name for it... "ADVENTURES OF UNICORN KNIGHT" "Country of Shadows"... YEAAAAAA it shall be a black-white graphic novel about a typical lalaland story... OTL

I'm afraid I won't be able to make it in time though ~FishMoi-kun! T___T;;; I'll still try... although school is starting next week!!

I'm sorry for wasting your time and making you read about all sorts of fail that I am... Rant is good right?

This will probably be my last journal for a while... I'm not 'subscribe' to internet access at my dorm... so I will be on hiatus until June.

I will still try to comment on all of your awesome submissions during the weekends though if I go to an internet cafe! T__T

I'm grateful for all the comments I've received all this time! I do read and reread everyone of them even though I usually don't know how to reply... Everyone's suggestions and advices have made me improve so much! A-and all the gifts and art request I owe some of you... I'll try to get to that!! orz

Anyways...



Have you an online manga/comic? Or do you have any plans to make one? What story would you go for? What about your original characters? I'd love to hear about them!! (Don't worry, I won't steal your ideas! I'm too poor to be sued)




WHOAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!! I MADE IT IN TIME FOR THE COMPETITION!!!!! thanks ~waterdragon91 for helping me with my bad engrish and horrible grammar!

I'm sorry for being so inactive lately...
umm... my style has gotten rather angst-y lately. I'm not happy with what I draw.

[link]

on second thought, I think "Retarded" is a better term to be used here...

Been busy working on several things at the moment... which includes last minute revision before I start my next semester at college... I HAVEN'T DONE ANY OF MY TUTORIAAAAAALS ARGH!!! OTL

I have forgotten how to cg properly... lately all I've been doing is playing with my GPen when I'm not playing with my fingers studying.

umm... and basically that's it. @__@; I haven't started my new year's resolution... I feel as if I have no purpose in life orz

so... what's everyone's plan for the coming new year? any goals? you can tell me~ I won't steal your resolutions bite XD

I got your loot~! Please come back to DeviantArt because I miss you.

I'm sorry for abandoning you on the first day. Had a great time with you on the 2nd day though!

I forgot to pay you back for dinner ARGH I'M SO SORRY!! I'll let you try out my graphire3 after ~RinkitojiTakito returns it.

You know you have a better style than me. I refuse to accept the fact that I'm above you unless if you meant like... me being physically taller than you... LALALALALALALA!!

Why you sneaky dude... I thought you were a quiet, shy person when I first met you. I changed my mind during our 5 hours trip home. Also, I've decided to call you 'fish porridge' from now on.

I regret not getting a print + autograph from you orz;;; I hope to see you again next year!

I'm sorry if I acted very weird in front of you!! I was about to collapse shy and very nervous.

it is a great honour to shake your hand!!! I realised it must have been a very cold and sweaty hand-shake. I-I am so sorry TT_____TT;;;;
Thankyou so much for the free prints and autographs!

your artbook is GODLY! I love the story that came with it! So, I will now commit seppuku for being all absent minded and forgetting to get your autograph. I dunno why I kept thinking it was already included in the artbook... orz

your on-the-spot cg demo never fail to amaze me *___* I learnt many many great things from it.

you should've come!! CF without you is not very CF-fy at all! There were so many reborn cosplayers *cough*Hibari*cough*! but I still like your Hibari costume and home-made tonfas better... *biased >:

WAAAAAAAHHHH! sorry I couldn't spend the day stalking you!

It has been a tiring day. Goodnight everyone~

I was inking [link] while thinking of some random stuff like "gosh I'm making so many mistakes!" and as a result, made more and more mistakes as I went.

It was then when I remembered a conversation with ~Xephyr26 a while ago. It went something like...

Pchaness : Hey what kind of white ink you use?
Xephyr26 : I don't use white ink...
Pchaness : Then how do you correct the mistakes you made?
Xephyr26 : ... I've never thought of that...

well, it never occurred to me until now that...

~Xephyr26 NEVER MAKES MISTAKES ARGH! Of course he doesn't make mistakes!! He does not sink to my level of epic failness!

This is so humiliating! I've probably trashed his pride by asking him about white ink... XEPHYR26 IS A shota NICE, SENSITIVE GUY COMPARE TO A POTATO UWAAAAA! He probably cried himself to sleep and have nightmares of white ink after that! I want to apologize but my stubbornness and pride prevent me from doing so.

I'm the most insensitive person in the whole world!!! I BLAME MY DAD FOR MY INSENSITIVITY!! DNA IS SCARY STUFF! NO WONDER MOM HATES YOU!!

"He turned after saying one last goodbye. I stared at his back side. It had gotten so much broader than that I have remembered. The sissy that I've knew as a child had grown to be a man, too tall for me to watch over..."

What is the difference with "His Back" and "His Back side" ?

I know that in chinese "他的背后", literally translates to "His Back Behind" or "His Back side"... so... I was wondering... if this is merely a common misinterpretation... or is the narrator of this story a pervert?

Isn't "backside" associated with "buttock"?

[edit]SO I WAS RIGHT! THE CHARACTER HAS A MATURED BUTT AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA *dies laughing

I think it's the most awesome thing I've ever seen!!! *____*
...~tunaVII YOU'RE FATED TO BE MY UKE! (this is the cue where you swoons and faint and I catches you in my hairy manly arms)

gwehehehehehe! *pedobear

I don't know what to write in my DA journal... I'm more active on LJ though! I could update everyday with meaningless stuff... I wonder if I should get a twitter account?

anyone here uses LJ or twitter?

# Male science students 'most likely virgins'
# Female arts students 'most sexually active'

...HUH W-WHAT...

*stares at IS THIS TRUE?!

I wouldn't know... I am a science student.

...mostly, it was playing my nds... *FAIL

I finally completed all 3 Phoenix Wright games! *strikes pose*
tralalalalala~

Even though I'm not a hardcore gamer, I love games! I've just started "Professor Layton and the Curious Village". It is very challenging! (*m*) Now, I break out in cold sweat and my heart beats fast when I come across the word 'uzzles'...

Since my vision is a little better now, I decided to head to [link] to update myself on the latest nds games.

Several games caught my eye... for example,

3071 - Barbie Whore Adventures Summer Camp (E)
3066 - Planet Rescue Ocean Petrol (E)
3036 - Maggots World Brain (U)
3035 - Garfields Gun Test (U)

...there is more, but I feel retarded for misreading such simple titles.

I also replayed 'Disgaea' on my nds. It reminds me how I used to love the Play Station 2 version to bits! T_____T oh Laharl~

I wish ATLUS would 'NDS-fy' their other rpg games like 'hantom Brave' and 'Odin Sphere'!! I never got the game Phantom Brave since it is always out of stock... and although I have Odin Sphere, it's inconvenient for me to play it since my parents are always watching tv...

Speaking of Odin Sphere... IS THERE NO DECENT Rated-G DOUJINSHI FOR IT?! I see potential angst for this game with its dramatic dialogues, "Pepushi"(doujinshi artist) style...

ADKFJAWELFSDSNDF I should be studying now.

Don't worry! It's nothing serious I think. Just that I can't focus properly and bang into doors and walls on frequent occasions. XD

Thanks for everyone's support all this time! TmT; I'll try my best to comment on all your talented deviations and read your journals when I'm better.

so uhh... dear secret santa, thank you so very much for being my secret santa! (>m< ; umm.. I hope my request will not be too exaggerated..

I'd like any of the followings,

1. fanart of [link] in any outfit you can think of. (military uniform, hoodie, tutu, bikini...)
2. Luffy and his nakama from OnePiece fanart
3. a kickass sci-fi theme picture with no proportion/perspective sense.

sketch or black-white or cg is fine with me XD

once again, thankyou!

got this from [link]

Step One:
• Make a post (public, friendslocked, filtered...whatever you're comfortable with) to your LJ. The post should contain your list of 10 unlimited 8D holiday wishes. The wishes can be anything at all, from simple and fandom-related ("I'd love a Snape/Hermione icon that's just for me") to medium ("I wish for _____ on DVD") to really big ("All I want for Christmas is a new car/computer/house/TV.") The important thing is, make sure these wishes are things you really, truly want.

• If you wish for real life things (not fics or icons), make sure you include some sort of contact info in your post, whether it's your address or just your email address where Santa (or one of his elves) could get in touch with you.

• Also, make sure you post some version of these guidelines in your LJ, or link to this post (it'll be public) so that the holiday joy will spread.

Step Two:

• Surf around your friendslist (or friendsfriends, or just random journals) to see who has posted their list. And now here's the important part:

• If you see a wish you can grant, and it's in your heart to do so, make someone's wish come true. Sometimes someone's trash is another's treasure, and if you have a leather jacket you don't want or a gift certificate you won't use--or even know where you could get someone's dream purebred Basset Hound for free--do it.

• You needn't spend money on these wishes unless you want to. The point isn't to put people out, it's to provide everyone a chance to be someone else's holiday elf--to spread the joy. Gifts can be made anonymously or not--it's your call.

• There are no rules with this project, no guarantees, and no strings attached. Just...wish, and it might come true. Give, and you might receive. And you'll have the joy of knowing you made someone's holiday special.

Few of you may have noticed a slight change in my gallery. Umm... NO NEED TO PANIC! I only wanted to start over because... well, I'd like to have a more 'mature' gallery instead of silly things I drew 4-5 years ago... wow, I've been on deviantart for THAT long?!

1.)
2.)
3.)
4.)

your surprise will be 'a scene of what you typed in your comment'~ be it played out by your favourite anime characters or original characters (which... I shall salvage your gallery for clues). Please look forward to it even though I know my cg skills are not pro! (>m<

everyone's entries were very interesting! But I couldn't visualise a scene for it, or it was too difficult to draw T__T; I still appreciate your comments though!

Hello everyone~ Posting from my college's apartment. My laptop batteries are about to go out so I thought of posting a quick entry before I call it a day.

30th October is supposed to be Halloween is it? We don't celebrate it here... which is kind of sad because I think it would make a great 'festival' with pumpkin feast and all. T__T; How many of you celebrate Halloween in your country? Any fond memories of it as a child?

I wanted to cg a halloween picture but I kind of failed...
so instead~ let's play another game! Tell me a memory of your childhood on Halloween Day~ For those who do not celebrate Halloween as a child... well, tell me any strange experience you've had with the supernatural? I'll pick 4 comments that catches my interest and cg you a surprise... >:B

though... you'll have to wait until after my exams for your surprise because I want to cg something seriously...

are you game?
