Day 2: Black Cat
Day 2: Black Cat
A few months ago I saw on FB a video of a church being hit by lightning. The structure still stood even after it was hit.
Some people see this as a sign that there is no divine protection, that God does not exist. My takeaway from that vid was that even after the church was hit, it still stood. Being a Christian does not spare you from the problems of life, heck, sometimes the problems are way bigger than what most people go through. What Christ offers though, is the strength to go through those trials, the patience to wait for God’s timing and the hope that what God allows in your life will always be for your own good.

Day 1: Antman
Day 1: Antman
When I was in grad school, we were asked to make around 30 or so paintings in a week. That sort of thing is hard to accomplish even when you are a full time student and when you’re working while studying at night and on the weekends that sort of assignment will really push you towards questioning the sanity of your instructor.
At the end of the week though, when we were asked to place our “rushed” paintings onto the floor by the order by which we painted and try to look for patterns in our work and identify what we were feeling at the time that we were making them, I understood why our prof made us go through that hell of a week.
The activity taught me that mood is no excuse to make art, specially when it is our job. No matter the mood, if you need things to get done, you will get them done. It also made me realize the things that help put me in a groove that I am comfortable with so that I can at least make decent work even when I do not feel like doing art. The activity made me realize how important routines are, how the things that you do on a daily basis will help you survive the surprises that life throws at you. It made me more aware of what I am going through internally that is affecting my work and helped me make adjustments as needed.
I did not finish my MA. By the time I was in third year the landscape of digital art has changed so much that having a post graduate degree will no longer help me get where I wanted to go. There were more opportunities for illustrators outside of the academic (which I had initially, and still would want to be a part of one day) and graphic design professions that were the only viable options for me when I graduated from college. I hated my third year in graduate school, to be honest, for reasons I’ll share later, but the first two years there really shaped my approach towards work and art.

So apparently, there is only one Transformers in the TF Universe whose name starts with the letter Y, and he is a Giraffe from the Japanese Headmasters Cartoon.

Day 22: Vice Grip
Day 22: Vice Grip
Yesterday I saw a penguin and a rabbit that turns into robots. They were KOs of Beast Wars Neo figs but I was so tempted to get them.
Day 21: Undermine
I had my Bosto sent to a technician earlier... praying that they'll be able to fix it, without costing an arm and a leg :)

Day 19: Seaspray
Day 19: Seaspray
I took a break yesterday and did not draw after just sleeping for 3 hours the night before. I hit the sack at 1 am and then woke up at 4 all hyper. Wow.
I was thinking of the Guncannon while I was sketching this.

Day 16: Powermaster Optimus Prime
Day 16: Powermaster Optimus Prime
A kid brought this toy to school when I was, I’m not sure, Kinder 1 or 2 and I was just shocked to see this in person. During that time the only TF I had was Pretenders Splashdown and only saw this Prime on the catalog. I was stunned and stood there as I watched the kid transform this big truck and turn him into an Optimus body and then he stuck the smaller Optimus truck on the chest.
I wanted this toy since then.
I often see this on the shelf of one of the stores I frequent to get my kits. .I still haven’t bought him though, I don’t know. I guess the proportions of the actual toy does not appeal to the adult collector in me who has grown to the better proportions of the TFs that came out since 2008 when I started collecting. But the nostalgia factor… that’s something else.

Day 15: Omega Supreme
Day 15: Omega Supre This one took longer than 25 minutes, I think maybe 31 minutes or so. I enjoyed sketching this guy and maybe one of these days I’d go back and redraw him more properly.
