new minitokyo.net layout and stuff

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

ah..decided a bit of editing on my minitokyo account. i get lazy with coding sometimes but here you go.visit my account at: http://asyangtagabundok.minitokyo.net
its actually a repository of my old anime drawings...nyahaha..done ages ago. havent done anything new lately (as im concentrating on portraiture)...but im doing a relena peacecraft drawing currently (cinq kingdom clothes of course).

never you mind that i went overboard and did "I support" banners...hehehe...some little whim of mine. also changed the heading to FMA banner (more suitable than claricexhannibal).

im also working on other layouts for websites im planning to publish in the future. im getting the hang of it again... ^___^ ill try to insert flash animations here and there like i did before..

"In Disillusionment and Despair"


My first coloured in a long time. Julianne Moore (one of my favourite actresses, I think she's talented and beautiful too, not "girly" beautiful but more like "Warrior Princess" beautiful) as Clarice Starling. Not Done yet. But...Im quite proud of it, I think I captured Starling's personality in "Hannibal" Era. No longer the naive, young trainee. But a seasoned FBI Agent (if a bit disillusioned).

As of the moment, im moving in to coloured stuff. But they wont be "that" photorealistic anymore, as I have no wish to become a human photocopier. That is NOT the point of a portrait. I'll go for slightly realistic but with more "emotion" in it.

Not done yet, though. The paper was a bit thin and all. This is more like a "study" in preparation for other coloured portraits.
I used coloured pencils here.

For the rest of my stuff please check: http://leiaskywalker83.deviantart.com


Anyway, Agent Clarice Starling remains one my most favourite characters (Padme Amidala, Leia Organa & Eowyn of Rohan follow). The truth is I am pretty much disillusioned with my own life. All the things I wanted to do. It appears as though I keep hitting a glass ceiling.And nothing of import seems to be happening. Im just a drone, breathing but not living. Better if Dementors sucked my soul. Ive just read this fabulous article comparing Clarice with Mina (Harker) and how "Hannibal" is the modern "Dracula". I think the author was absolutely right.
