DMD gathering / cosfest 2009 chalet

Hey everyone,

(fyi. This isn't really the actual invite, rather a notification prior to the invite itself, so that people are informed early, and so we can finalize a guest list to let us decide on the smaller details.)

A bunch of us guys are organizing a chalet tentatively set on the nights of the 10th (fri) to the 12th (sun) on the month of July '09. Originally the idea of it was to give those of us attending Cosfest '09 a nice place to crash at, and for those who are cosplaying a good place to use as a changing room. But we ultimately decided to upscale it to what we hope is a massive gathering.

We are planning to have it at the Aranda resort at downtown east. It's a really nice place, fully air conditioned, with ample space for 20+ people. There will be a BBQ on the night of 11th (Sat), and there will be many planned activities and entertainment, all being prepared by the best minds in our cohort. And in the background of all this, Cosfest '09 will be going on at the Downtown east pavilion, on the 11th and the 12th. Some of us will be participating, some to snap some photographs, and others just going there to enjoy the one-of-a-kind atmosphere only found at a cosplay event. A more complete schedule will be included on the invite mail. Planning for this chalet will be a lot of work, but we are thouroughly dedicated to making this a f*ckin awesome event.

Here's where we need your help. Without a healthy attendance, this event will be a thoroughly epic failure. We're looking for at least 20 people, preferably around 30 or more, to attend this chalet. And as most of us are either working or serving NS, staying overnight is entirely your choice, although we thoroughly encourage you to do so. Your attendance is extremely appreciated. Also, to help alleviate the costs we have to bear on organizing this gathering, we require those who are coming to provide a $10 deposit first. Some people might get turned off by this, (what? aren't i already doin them a favor by goin?!?) but please understand that most of us organizers are NSFs, we don't earn much. We won't bluff you, chances are you might to pay abit more during the gathering itself, to cover for unforseen costs, or people who don't show up, forcing us to readjust the amount per person. On our part, we will do our best to make this an event totally worth your money, coz in the end, we're doing this not for ourselves, but for everyone to come and enjoy a night of good fun with old friends.

Confirm your attendance by :
1) email / SMS / MSN Wei Kit, Aaron Joshua Chua, or myself. (I'm overseas for the entire moth of April, contact the other 2 for faster replies)
2) comment on this post.

Cheers people, and reply fast!

mentioned this earlier today.



seriously amazing.

New look..

Atleast we know this site is not still... =P will change the banner soon.

The Colonel

Oh look, my first post.

Right, so... this is my submission for the Character Design thingy. You're probably thinking, "Why another army motif? Isn't NS bad enough?" but man, I was up at MINDEF during a Minister visit, and those female officers in full dress uniform.... Hot.


Some sketches I did. Looks pretty... well, bland, compared to some of what you guys are doing. Hey, I like simple.


And the Final Piece:


Yay!

FELICIA!

Haha sketched a Felicia! a little late for the Darkstalker Tribute but nontheless, i'm still gonna paint it and post it up.

ZOMG

Don't you miss the days when we were screwing around with sculpy?

Bunbuns

Sorry for MIA-ing.

Big break in work today so was listening to Marco Djurdjevic's drawing video. If you guys want you can ask me for it :P! I won't upload here cos i paid for it.

Anyway had all intention to do character but somehow it turned into a DRAW WHATEVER THE HELL I WANT SESSION.

and it is very evident.



manz i wanna learn how to do pencils like the pros =( oh well gotta practice~ RAWRK ON PPLZ! Ill get somemore sketches done meanwhile ^_^ im kinda avoiding my tablet for now lul.


Sorry AR i didn't want to clutter posts so I add on to this one.

Someone asked for MOAR BUNNY? somehow listening to more Marko produced this.
I'm really sorry for corrupting you innocents.

RIGHHTTT

Heres mine, wheres yours? =D

Was really busy with the Company Tactics course and this advance infantry blah blah blah course for the past 6 weeks... 4 more weeks to go before i can go back to my unit... Zzz... kinda miss the life in unit, atleast can do what i wanna do. Too much planning consideration for everything, too much doctrines, too much checklist, too much military terminology... i think its going to be quite hard to grow out of it, refrain from using those terms outside. i will sound very patriotic though.

Oook not forgetting to mention the opening for Arts, design, media course in NTU is open for registration now, so also trying to dig up some time amongst the chionging to put together my portfolio and ofcos, trying to put together the faculty tests required. i must say though, the drawing / sketching sessions had paid off, got quite a bit of sketches to put into the book. may be sketches for now, just a bit of shading here and there and its as good as a final.

Well, heres my contribution for the theme on Character, Wheres yours?

< Character design 01 > design sketches

I admit i am not like those pros who can just sketch anything out on paper straight from their brains from scratch. i need REFERENCES before i can start designing, more importantly i need a specific direction as well if not i will be stoning there 0_o. did some thumbnail sketch to get a feel of how i want the character to look like, some sketches for the Character Design 01 theme from the wearezupid blog. will refine on one of it further and maybe do a 3d version of it too if i have the time, its been a while since my last 3d work. damn i need to work hard.

Movie of the Year. Period.

cool movies coming up in this year

Transformers: revenge of the fallen, another movie that is definitely worth to watch, new robots will be coming out in the movie as well as more action. You get to see how big the fallen was than optimus prime when they were fighting.the teaser trailer is out 0_o




G.I. Joe the rise of the cobra, a live action movie depicted from comic book. personally i have heard of G.I. Joe but nv read the comics before. Its from the director of the mummy so i guess that's something we can look forward. attached the teaser trailer on top.

My character

Here, everyone else, please upload also.

Was originally gonna do one of my older characters, but been sketchin out this new character recently, and decided to use this instead.

Unnamed as of yet. She was born out of an idea in my head, of how a modern tolkien-esque fantasy world would look like. And in this world, Elves would become...

Hippies.

Lol. Altho hippies don't really shoot people with arrows or anything, can't have an elf without the bow ya. This is just an initial design really, gonna make her even more hippie, psychedelic colors, wierd clothes and all that.

And orcs = rednecks, dwarves = irish LOL (from a chat with sean)
