Whose Panel Is It Anyway?
HI ALL.
This is one we've talked about for a while now, finally going to set things in place.
WHOSE PANEL IS IT ANYWAY?
- How it works.
A person will be selected as the host (selection method further down) each time we do this theme. The host will then pick either a one page panel, or a 2 page spread panel from ANY comic book he desires, trace out the frames within the panel or panels, and then number them randomly.
After that is done, all participants in the theme must then pick any number. When everyone has a number, the host will send all the participants the panel layout. The participants will then draw within their selected frame. OVERLAPPING THE FRAME IS NOT ALLOWED. Any overlaps will be deleted.
When all participants are done, or when the pre-decided time frame has elapsed, all work must be sent to the host. The host will then compile the works into one, and then release the complete piece or post it on the blog.
- How is the host selected?
This is the fun part. After all the participants have gotten their numbers and the host has released the layout, the participants must then guess which comic the panel layout originated from. The host must release a clue to aid the participants in their guesses. There is no limitation on the clue, it can be as easy or as hard as you deem it fit, just so long as it IS a workable clue. The first participant to guess correctly will become the next host. If no one manages to guess it right, the current host retains his position.
- Can you explain more about being the host?
The host does the most work. Aside from choosing the panel or panels, and subsequently cleaning it up, the host also has to collect and compile all the works when done. However, the host can choose whether or not he wants to contribute to that particular event. He may choose not to add his work to the panel, but he still has to do all the other tasks. The benefit of being the host is that you get first pick on whichever frame you desire on the panel you selected.
- What will the layout be like?
It will be a PSD file containing nothing but the empty panel(s), and their numbers. The PSD will be zipped and uploaded onto any file-hosting site, for the convenience and easy access of all participants.
- How do i submit my work?
Simply send the zipped PSD of your work to the host via any channels, be it MSN, file-hosting, or email. Just so long as the host successfully recieves the finished piece.
- What can i draw?
You're the artist. Be creative. Feel free to add text boxes or any other comic book elements into your frame. JUST SO LONG AS YOU DO NOT OVERLAP OTHER FRAMES. The only exception to the overlapping rule is that you have permission from the person whose frame you are going to overlap. If he/she allows it, then so be it.
- Color or Black/White?
This one should be decided by all participants before the theme is started.
- How long do we have?
This one should also be decided by all participants before the theme is started.
I hope that covers all the questions anyone might have, if not, just comment or shout, and i'll reply asap.

Card Game update 1
All this was discussed yesterday.
Card layout is gonna be changed. A few people have brought up the issue of the awkward positioning of the parts in the card. Gonna change it to a simpler, more conventional layout. The new layout will be done and be available for download tomorrow night. Here's a preview.
UPDATE* Download new layouts here [LINK] This link expires in 7 days.
About the issue of sub-classification first brought up by CC, we have decided to add in a system of Elements, not unlike your basic fantasy card games. This was chosen over a system of unit types due to the wide variety of unit types we expect to have. As discussed, the Elements are:
1) Light / Holy / Life - White
2) Dark / Death - Black
3) Fire - Red
4) Water / Ice - Blue
5) Nature / Earth - Green
6) Air -
7) Mechanical - Brown
8) Neutral - Grey
Cards with Elements will be colored accordingly to the Element, to aid in visual identification. This will be handled and explained in further detail at a later portion, so don't worry too much about elements just yet.
Lastly, there's been a issue of card balance for quite awhile now. The only feasible way to right this is for everyone to stop adjusting their own card's stats at the moment.
So for now, everyone please take note, only add the illustration, the card name, and whatever story you wish to include to the cards you make.
All stats, abilities and cost etc will be added later.
Thanks.
Isaac

Trying out new techniques...
The texture brushes really do wonders =)
Saw some artwork and got some inspiration on the feel of the painting. I think i replicated it quite nicely and quite satisfied with it... but the design of the character can be more fancy i thought... if its not fancy its not quite me isn't it... haha... more coming up, guys! keep posting!
This probably wouldn't be the final product, just did this in 1 hour or so, when i've got the time i'll touch it up on the finer details...

Terminator ??? lol
Develop from a concept sketch i posted earlier. Last sat i went to a digital painting workshop at orchard by noise singapore. i was eager to try out the technique that the person teach. although it's just burn, dodge and smudge tool, it can still work wonders if you know how to use it and also using the tools and function in Photoshop to it fullest, sometimes it can give you a surprise. Practise makes perfect, i hope i have improve in my painting as i always have alot of troubles when comes to painting, hope it doesn't look too bad, above is the sketch and colour version of the character. as this is for a card game, i am thinking of adding equipment and some other things to this guy. there are other concept sketches i want to try designing also from my previous post. no harm drawing lol 0_o
It's good to be home.
THANKSSS

The deal is 2 cards.
When u "aruba" a person, means u koropok him.
Arkrubar is a super powerful being that begins a conquest of the 3 different worlds, namely the heavens, earth and netherworld. After successfully becoming the " No equal of heaven and earth ", his downfall begins during his last conquest of the netherworld after losing to the Lord of Terror due to reason I haven think of.
After which, Arkrubar is sealed away in a void space between the worlds, but its overwhelming strength is to much for it to contain with and eventually, 3 forces of Arkrubar itself was spilted from the sealed body, namely incarnation of his overwhelming strength, unbreakable defence and lightning speed, unleashed its wrath on the 3 worlds it self.
The 3 worlds start to fight against the 3 entity and then I still dunno what is going to happen next.
When u become "siao", u will become to act crazy.Card created last minute due to going to book in to the most sian place on earth, CAMP.
My updates...
Here are some of the updates, have been painting on the first card. For now, I will just show the linework versions...
