To make matters worst...I'm now married and one of the STUPIDstitious traditions dictate that every married couple should put money in a piece of red paper folded into a tiny envelope and give these "Red Packets" to little brats so that they may gamble it away.

This tradition has been passed down from generation to generation and if I chose not to follow, I will be branded as some ingrate who don't respect my ancestors tradition.I for one wouldn't mind doing STUPIDstitious stuff if it would appease a bunch of aging old farts and or if there aren't any negativity from doing said STUPIDstitious stuff.However as I mentioned before, These red packets would be given to little whiny brats so that they may gamble it away at the black jack tables hence the reluctance in abiding with tradition.

And also....This has become somewhat of a form of wealth flaunting.To anyone who doesn't already know by now, we're in a recession now. giving away packets of $20 isn't exactly very cheap(considering i have over 50 Niece and nephews).I'm not a wealthy person, I only make a little over $1900SGD(Approximately $1000USD). $20 X 50 nephews is 1000 bucks...that's more than half my pay gone to gambling brats.

Oh and lets not forget,I have to give some money to my parents too,and what about festive gifts? If you add it all up, I would have just about $300 left to survive for the rest of the month.....take away 100 bucks for my travel expenses and it would mean that I have less than $8 a day to spend on breakfast lunch and dinner....

To make matters worst...the family is going to shit....ever since grandpa and grandma passed away,everyone has become distant.which means we're doing this as a formality with people whom I'm only going to see once a year.

I really hate this period of the year...Everyone is so fake. And those who aren't fake are just plain obnoxious. I wish i could just die for those 15 days and be revived again when it's over.....

this is becos the cloverfield has tiny lazy brain syndrome. It's bad enough that the brain has to work overtime to compansate for its lack of mass. It's worst still that it's lazy.
as a result..he is unable to manage more than 1/2 a human being at a time(yes he has trouble managing himself alone).so we must help him out by notifying him when we leave so that he may throw some last minute work on our asses.

I've heard that with great power comes great responsibility...but this is ridiculous...

Woo hoo.....why are all monsters so retarded and stupid one.....why can't they make up their minds instead of thinking as they go....

well if there is any consolation out of all this at least now i'm not sad.....I'm angry...
guess that's a step up.

You got 10 Skill Demerit points
Press A to enter the stats menu and choose which skill you wish to deduct from


Hmm tough choice.....I guess in order to remain skillful in what i do I can't afford to reduce my SKills and strengths...so I'll just have to reduce my Health instead....


Can anyone guess the moral of my story ???

I don't know if this had got anything to do with my current relocation to my new job or just me suffering from pre-midlife crisis...but either way....

It really ruined my holiday season....

believe it or not...I didn't see a single Christmas Tree this christmas...
I didn't even hear a complete Christmas song...

The only real good thing I got out of this entire mess is the fact that I cleared all the games I bought the past half a year....Yippy....

This year started great but man...why did it had to end like this....

]]> ~vasteel81 http://vasteel81.deviantart.com/journal/15531856/ http://vasteel81.deviantart.com/journal/15531856/ Fri, 16 Nov 2007 09:58:41 PST
It's not the people.....and it's not the water.....some say it's the color of the walls but I can't tell for sure...

I'd like to take the opportunity to write this down in case i do something stupid. Every morning I would go to work happily...but once i arrive at the building I would suddenly feel this sense of dread....like something bad has happened eg. my hamster died.

Don't be mistaken...I still joke around and chat and go through the day as per usual..
But something is seemingly and subconsciously controlling me. I would do random things like walk out of the office and walk back in for no appearant reason.I would stare blankly at my screen and forget what i'm supposed to do.I would walk to someone with a question but once i get there I would forget.I will suddenly forget where I am and do something unexpected.on top of all this I would also get some really weird Psychotic dreams at night...about children dying in horrible ways....

I don't hate children , and even though I sort of like violence , This is really something that I'm not happy to see or dream about for that matter.

Yeah I know if you have read till this far you might think i'm lying or I'm crazy or going to be crazy.But I am very serious about this and please don't think I'm doing this to be popular cos It's obviously not going to make me popular.

The reason why I'm writing this is just so that in the event where I really go crazy or whatever and do something that wasn't my intention due to some weird force affecting my perception to reality.And that those of you whom I told about who obviously don't believe me and think i'm talking crap.......well...I just want to say....................................







"I told you I wasn't lying"

So I happened to caught my glance on a couple of titles like Resident Evil 4 Wii edition , Red steel , Stuntman ignition , Genji...etc etc

Needless to say being the die hard collector as I am..I grabbed the whole lot...believe me at 39 bucks SGD a pop you can't resist too and these games aren't that old either....

So anyway...I went home after that and popped in Genji....Now I know that many people think this game sucks...and the truth is.....IT DOES !!! Urgh....I seriously Want to enjoy this...I thought it be like Onimusha..or Dynasty warriors or something...but it was something else...It LOOKS like onimusha...plays abit like Onimusha....but It sure ain't onimusha...
and seriously...if you tried the first Genji on the Playstation 2 ?? There is a Big difference....how big ?? well big enough to make me like the first game more !!!

Anyway...I then proceed to tryout red steel.....and Oh MY god !!!! This game makes me appreciate the doom games back in the 90's.....I dunno what the hell the developers were thinking..but i think they were on somethign when they decided to just leave the control scheme as it is....This one is FUN....but BAD at the same time...and fortunately the FUN aspect over shadows the bad...but still....I got it cheap so I can only imagine if I would feel the same way had i got it full priced.

After this 2 games..I was so depressed that I didn't went on to try the rest and decided to commit suicide.....
Nah just kidding....but I was close to doing so though...

I'm just going to stick to my old and golden rule...."Do whatever I like but make sure I finish my work first."

Don't think they'll agree with me....but I doubt they'll complain too.

]]> ~vasteel81 http://vasteel81.deviantart.com/journal/14657257/ http://vasteel81.deviantart.com/journal/14657257/ Sun, 16 Sep 2007 10:04:02 PDT Heavenly Short is too short and BioFetch just annoys me with its endless fetch quests !!!!

Don't get me wrong....Both games are great 10 out of 10 from me !!! I bought both of it..had tons of fun with it. But it just didn't hit the sweet spot for me to make it sparkle.....
It's like when you like something so much that you wished for it to be perfect....but when you realise that it wasn't and it pisses you off ??? well you get the idea...

Even Metroid Prime 3: corruption had it's flaws....It was a great game...it was kinda short too but NOT too short and it had it's fare share of Fetch quests....but not enough to annoy...But what really failed for me is the fact that Nintendo didn't make their wii more powerful enough to produce better graphics !!!!!!!

Ah well...I guess in life you win some and you lose some..

These 3 games are definitely a Must get in my books so people who haven't got it...at least give it a rent or something.....

I would just like to state for the record that I'm not gay...I'm married(to a girl) and I wear Toe socks becos it helps reduce the chance of getting blisters not becos it's cute.....Maybe I should just wear Slippers fulltime from now on.......oh well.

hope that this settles any misunderstandings.....

It was fun working those late hours staying in the office and all..Probably the most fun I ever had which made me feel alive....and I'm gonna miss those $4 meat balls...

sad as it may be..I'm still looking forward to future endeavors....

Oh and I'm finally a Full time staff at Tenacious games inc....Hurrah....Guess this means you all will be seeing more 3D Spoils characters hehe.

Since Its solely dedicated to the guy.....I'd choose those that I personally Like from his
Gallery !!!!
Check it out !!!

First and Foremost !! I like this piece....
Cos it definitely took him a long time to do and also it is one of the few rare pieces where every inch of the canvas is used up for detail drawing....

[link]


Second is.....
Although I still feel there are some issues with the hand supporting the head...It is still a nice piece nonetheless...

[link]


Last but not least.....
I pick this one cos it fits the style I like....check out my gallery and compare...the proportions of this character fits most of those characters which i do in 3D...only difference is i try to veer away Jap Anime style while Jason Here Embraces it...

[link]



Well I hope you enjoy my Feature presentation....hahaha......

1) I don't wear glasses , even though i stare at the monitor 24 / 7 !! Gift or curse I dunno !!

2) When I receive messages, notes, e-mails, comments.... I tend to delete all those that I don't know and block them forever. So if you email me and I don't reply then you're mostl likely blocked by me already...

3)I have only 1 year of Experience in 3D.....So if my work sucks please give chance hehe

4)I always ask for an extra bowl of rice whenever I have my meals

5)I love all forms of electronic gaming...I HATE FAN BOYS cos In my opinion every game console or game itself is a hardwork of many individuals and no matter how crappy it turns out to be we should respect the people who wasted their life to make it happen.

6)I like to spank my wife's butt when she isn't noticing...it makes her jump up and say "OH!"

Anyway..In total I have 2 complete stories recorded in notes form. I will someday consolidate the notes and write it into a proper script but for now..I'm too lazy.
And coming up with stories and plot is hard but fun...I'd much rather do that than to compile it...after all its pretty much compiled already just not in a orderly manner.....

Lastly....I would like to thank my buddies of 3D sense...(You know who you are) for giving me the support that i don't deserve and also for being great buddies who joke and put up with me !!!!

Maybe its the Ancient asian conservative society I live in or maybe its just that the people around me are honest to goodness goody two shoes who goes to church every damn day. But whatever the case please don't condemn someone just because he has a hobby that your mum says is not the best of hobbies......

Anyway can't be bothered to argue over such trivial matters...its really childish and i'm a busy person.

I'd like to apologise to Neo Chikara for not being able to do his models as I'm not seeing josh that often anymore and he is too busy to produce a decent sketch for me to use. And on top of that....as much as i'd like to help I'm really unable to cos its takes up too much time and i really need to land a job soon otherwise i'll be sleeping in the streets.

I'd also like to apologise to all the people who i did not reply to when you posted a remark on my works.....there are just too many and I figured you guys would understand.

Lastly i would like to apologise to anyone who i rejected for collaboration work. No time and all that..you understand.

guess thats all for this time......damn i'm sleepy.....haven't slept in days..... ]]> ~vasteel81 http://vasteel81.deviantart.com/journal/8425314/ http://vasteel81.deviantart.com/journal/8425314/ Mon, 10 Apr 2006 07:49:00 PDT Quite honestly...when i finished it i had mixed feelings....The rig was half done and most people see that as laziness....yes i admit i was lazy to complete the rig to make her grab the bike but I'm still a student and I don't know much about rigging or Texturing...I will update her as soon as I made improvements....

once again...Thank you Smashmethod.....though i don't know much or anything at all about you, but I guess you must be someone important to be able to feature other peoples work and It seems only natural for a newbie like me to thank you..... ]]> ~vasteel81 http://vasteel81.deviantart.com/journal/8384204/ http://vasteel81.deviantart.com/journal/8384204/ Thu, 06 Apr 2006 12:51:55 PDT
Anyway...Hmm dunno what to say man...

Guess I can start by saying that........

I'm 1.85 meters tall
I weigh 0.125 tons ( something i'm rather proud of cos i'm just 1 decimal place away from a ton)
Eh.....I'm butt ugly and enjoys bullying my sweet loving Fiance alot....
Hmmm......what else...

Oh yeah !!I'm a newbie 3D modeller....I model almost 20 hours a day....though i'm not working now as i'm still a student and also becos i feel my works are still utter crap and waaaaaay inferior to what the industry needs but I'm motivated and willing to work hard.

Anyone who has problems with 3D modelling please feel free to ask me , Though i'm new but i'll try my very very best to help you out...this industry is all about people with passion..and as such , i feel no need to get jealous that people who were once weaker than me get better than me.On the contrary...I would be rather proud of that person and respect him more.....so really, if you need help, i'm more than happy to help. who knows I might learn something new in the process of helping..

Lastly and definitely...DEFINITELY not least.....
I would like to thank all the people who have influenced my life into the art world
other than famous people like George Lucas and Steven Spielbergs who made great movies and made me try to draw their movie characters ,

There are people like Jack Heng ([link]). Who taught me how to draw while i was serving in the Army...I improved from stick figures to shapes....He is one of my very close friends I have....and I'm kinda worried about him cos he is a great artist and yet due to the pressures of society, he is unable to do work related to his craft........

People like Sean Tay ([link]).who although I'm not very happy with one thing he said to me before, taught me some neat stuff....

People like David Kwok....just how much this dude changed my life ???? lets just say Prior to meeting him , all my 3D models were hideous !! Proportions were off...put it simply , I couldn't see the aesthetics of things......beauty was like an alien language....and he helped translated some of it for me...

People like Joshua ([link]). Who taught me how to draw mechanical stuff..

People Like Kingston Chan who motivated me a great deal to work harder....He is definitely one of the better mentors anyone can find even though he speaks softly.

People like Adeeb (His full name is too long cos he is from Bangladesh)..Who introduced me to David Kwok and keeps buzzing in my ear non stop while i do my work...I would like to say that if its not for his Car model, I think I wouldn't have the drive to even start working on 3D modelling.

Yeah i think these are all the people who influenced my life in the Art world......
for those of you who are good friends but don't see your name here, please remember...these are the names of people who effected me in the Art world and not how good or bad a friend they are..... ]]> ~vasteel81
