This is my Portfolio
1 min read
this is my collection of works, works in progress and other art related materials. you may see that most illustrations found in this page are of the anime/manga style. to see other art mediums please browse my other artworks. there are a lot of mediums i am familiar with. currently, other posted mediums are advertising designs, photography, artistic composition, anthropomorphic illustrations etc, etc.
being a new graduate, this site functions as an informal portfolio. yes, i would like a job that requires me to draw and color mainstream and commercial artworks. should anyone wish to inquire further, you can email me at no_009hsk@yahoo.com

For Exhibit
4 min read
hells yeah, my infernal thesis, FOR EXHIBIT. 'nuff said.
personally, my works, especially the some illustrations were not that good... personally speaking. but at least i can say with conviction, my ads are superb.
putting that aside, I almost actually failed my thesis. in the deliberation day, I forgot to bring my original book and they asked for it. I got shot and soaped(Nabaril at nasabon) in my marketing and technical stuff. In a nutshell, I was PWNED in my technicals. The jury actually said: my illustrations are for socio-economic type A(according to him, I didn't know where he got that idea...) while my target market was B to C (Readers: this is marketing stuff, "Class A" are the rich folk, and "Class C" are the middle class). of course, I didn't know where he got the idea that this illustrations were for class A, however I didn't want to further jeopardize my precarious position by questioning him about his observation, I was in thin enough ice as it is. if say that my illustrations are not for socio economic class A because they are not that good, then I would be admitting to the jury that my work lacks quality. suffice to say, I was cornered in that argument...
then came the coup de grace, my prototype book sucked. of course I can't by all means make an excuse that adobe indesign CS2 only exports jpeg files by 72 resolutions, i had at least 2-3 weeks to prepare for my presentation, in the end the prototype got shot with a boring layout, an inconsistent cover, and pixellized illustrations and text. to top that off, my revisions was a BITCH, they wanted me to make a new prototype, redesign the book and illustrations, in just 3 freaking working days... wow
the saving grace in my case was at least my ads, my illustrations, were good, superb even, although inconsistent with the actual product prototype. the jury challenged me to recreate my prototype in just three days. normally, I would have hated the burden placed upon me, but then the jury said, if the new prototype is good, we will recommend you for thesis exhibit. I guess that was my motivation, as being in the exhibit is one of my main agenda for my thesis.
so, there I was, in three working days, rushing to finish the damn book. I'd tell the story, but its a LONG one, a LONG Saturday that one is, and this entry is a bit longer than my previous ones. so lets just tell the story for another time.
suffice to say that I managed to finish the said revisions, still had some flaws, but definitely better that the first one... it cost fucking hell more too. from the measly 1.7k to a whopping 3.3K! WAW!
I guess that saved my thesis, the challenge was to recreate the prototype and they will consider me for exhibit, and give me a good grade. SO I'm for exhibit, 1.25 final grade(or is it 1.5... i forget). all is well with the world...
PS. my thesis has a more symbolic purpose, I cant really say it back then since i cant predict my grades back then. I always sneered at the people on the deliberation days when they would bring over-lavish presentations. life-size collaterals, big ass banner ads, you get the picture... I say this to the whole lot of them. it doesn't take a lot of money to create great ideas, and make good illustrations/works/concepts, because I did well, with just the bare minimum of costs. I guess what I'm trying to say here is that, money doesn't buy you a good grade.
PPS. I'm not trying to offend anyone, just saying what I think is right.
Congratulations to all UST Fourth year students who passed their thesis!
to the fallen, my heart goes for you. may you find yourself in better climes next time.
PPPS. i will be posting the ads and some of the best illustrations here and in our new organization, as my thesis is a part of the birth of the said organization. check it out on Garaje-works.deviantart.com

Revival in three...
1 min read
my thesis defense is scheduled in about 7-ish days time... feb 14 (valentines, lucky me) and then after that....
finally... thank god...
started playing Oblivion a week ago, that means i have attained a measure of freedom from the dreaded thesis. i haven't brought out my PS2 since i feel that although i may be free, there is still that thesis deliberation looming in the 14th. good lord after 14, its victory day.
FINALLY i can begin drawing again!

worst christmas yet
1 min read
although one cant help feeling happy since its the season to jolly, one cant help but think that Christmas is merely a date reminder of my ticking doomsday clock, my time of judgment is nearing, and i cant help but feel bad since i cant really be happy in Christmas, which only comes once a year...
bullshet na thesis yan...
my feelings about my thesis can be summarized as "crap, ___ more days before endorsement"
the circumstances aren't helping either, got a lot of new games, oblivion, UT3, god of war2 AUGH, so many games, yet I cant play a single one. playing a good game while being burdened by the thesis is like eating good food that tastes like ashes in your mouth
no matter, a merry Christmas to all, although for many of us, especially UST CFAD thesis year students, this really is a Christmas found wanting
________________________________________________
no fan arts, no artworks, nothing until the middle of February, that thesis will be the only thing plaguing my mind until then.
PREVIEW: await the birth of 'Garaje'

DISGAEA: Afternoon of darkness
1 min read
IT is currently October 29, 8:45 PM in my country... that means, a few more hours before the release of the American version of Disgaea, afternoon of darkness!
joy of joys, I thought they would not make an English version, since I didnt think there was a market for it in the states... boy, it feels good to be so wrong...
i remember the moments, when i heard rumors of disgaea going to psp... that was at least a few years ago... before it actually became a public rumor... hahaha, guess i must be a fan to know things so early...
nonetheless... it is here, and i eagerly await its coming!
