Getting in touch with 3D again

So because of my current job, I need to learn how to use the 3D software I downloaded but not used in college, Blender. I'm surprised that their latest version (2.66) is way easier to use compared to their previous 2.49 version.

I started off by experimenting & making some really simple models like the Envy Cake, some cups, mugs, hourglasses, and eventually the white headphones with black stars that I wanted so much since 2010 cuz I was planning on modeling a replica in Blender back when I still didn't know how to use it :P





I even made some comparisons just because I also happen to have Cinema 4D in my laptop. Oh how I love comparing alternative programs together.


Tried making a .dae file so it can be edited in both Blender and Cinema4D because it's easier to make the bubble tea pearls with C4D's array modifier but I prefer making the straw in Blender because of the pointy end by moving one vertex while enabling falloff. One thing that sucks is the materials won't appear right when switching from opening the .dae file on one software to another.

Top: Blender. Bottom: Cinema4D

I even tried making their logos using their own respective programs with the help of some Youtube tutorials.

My thoughts on fanfictions

The other day I was reading this article on austinkleon.com about stealing like an artist (which he'll turn into a book eventually) and thought about number 3 on the list; "Write the book you want to read" and as he further explained this he wrote about how he wrote a fanfiction about Jurassic Park after the 1st movie, and then comparing it to the sequel which he thought sucked. So if he advised all the artists & creative people out there to write the book they want to read, draw the comic they want to read, act the movie they want to watch, etc. then this explains A LOT about all the fanart, fanfiction & fanmade animation of a lot of fandoms in deviantART or any other art websites with twisted storylines come from... Not blaming the advice; that is in fact a REALLY good advice. The sad thing about them is, nowadays most of the fanfictions roaming around the internet are either extreme yaoi (and yuri, but mostly yaoi) with crack pairings of two characters that a

Palette Change

Once again, a comic featuring my friends (even more of them this time) and another reason to waste my color pencils and some blue ink (which I managed, cuz I had to buy another blue ink cartridge for my pen halfway while doing this comic). I wanted to do a different story & concept this time, and seeing that my previous comics this year have certain color schemes with minimalized color palette, I wanted to fit several color schemes into one comic, and since that requires changes, the running gag would be the characters noticing the color change and constantly breaking the fourth wall, realizing that they're inside a comic. The inspiration that triggered this was Cookie Cat ice cream sandwich from Steven Universe [Episode 1: Gem Glow] buuuut the story for my comic turned out totally different instead. Plus I love ice-cream sandwiches and mint candies… also apples.
