Title : Bitchy Octopus
Tools : Bamboo fun and touch tablet
This is it! My 2nd digital painting. Well, It still messed up, I know.
Mrs. Octapuss just passed my mind when I was given this task : non - human character. I really not into any kind of monsters with big red eye, sharp tusk, or claw.
She just keep cross my mind so that I decided to draw her. At first, my total imagination weren't this colorful, which mine were play the color totally in blue - white - black. I were inspired by luminous paints which I watch years ago.
My cute bitchy Mrs. Octapuss at first were more monstrous with purple-maroon color and flat-oval face and more narrow eyes.
This picture were totally messed up by her cloth. That fabric originally gonna look more... fabric? I mean here it supposed to have more texture, more dynamic. And the light lines behind is one of fatal mistake by my lack of experience and skill. I wanna make them looks like sun light diffusing through sea water and sunbathing the underwater world. And hell yeah, I'm totally out of my imagination of exotic underwater world. But, still, I'm glad that I make it through this.

Riding hood and Vintage
Model : Feblisa Fee
*ehem!*
Dan inilah dia, foto fashion yang overall kostumnya serba dadak - dadakan. I'm so damn grateful that our model, Fee, has those gorgeous clothes and her posing skill.
Jadi, di foto yang pertama, temanya adalah red riding hood / si kerudung merah dengan hood merah, serta rok hitam dan pantofel hitam untuk nunjukin kemodernisasian dan unsur fashionnya. Pose yang gue ambil yaitu dengan wajah yang detail matanya ketutupan rambut, memperlihatkan sisi gelap dari peran kerudung merah, serta memberikan gambaran penolakan dan keanggunan dari pose tangan dan kakinya.
In the 2nd picture, yang ini pengarah gayanya yakni temen gue, berdasarkan referensi dari internet. We prefer to make her looked hot here with her body curve line. Property di foto ini - kursi - adalah bagian yang paling mendukung pembentukan ke-vintage-an pakaian.
Komposisi yang digunakan membentuk segitiga dari kepala hingga kaki.
Kesalahan dari foto-foto ini, yakni masih kekurangan unsur fashion : aksesoris. Ada rasa nyesel *helaaah, curcol* sewaktu motret-motret "Kenapa bisa lupa bawa aksesoris, siiih!" dan sempat ngerasa down.Banget.
But then after I think again, what's the point of a life without mistake, isn't it? ;)
Well, wish people could enjoy my photographs more and more. Cheers!
korean waves
Another artwork! Here it is, my first digital painting by trace a picture using pen tool. I've chosen IU - a Korea singer - picture to trace. Well, though my final result doesn't look like her even a little...
I love this paint's color, since I used pastels so that this paint give such a young and fresh impression.
Well, enjoy my works :)

Indonesia women
Here it is! One of my latest works. Another photographs for my class assignment.
These photos were taken at a photo studio with artificial lighting. Me and my friends were discussing about Chinese - especially women - issue in 1998 in Indonesia, when they were minority and the culture here were so strong that they tamed in such situation.
The talent's face actually was 2 side, right one was tan colored, and left one as we clearly see was white with reddish accent on her eyes and blush on.
I took these photos with low key technique, which I chose to give more emphasis on underpressure, frustrate, and sad feeling.
Well, enjoy these photos! :)

Curahan Hati Pembaca Komik
Selamat atas pencapaian 10.000 followers, mnc comics! *tiup tiup terompet*
Dan... mnc comics mengadakan lomba menuliskan kesan dan kesan selama mbaca komik terbitannya yang berhadiah komik-komik one shot!
Wohoooooow!
Dan disinilah gue, sebagai penggemar berat komik-komik terbitan mnc berpartisipasi menuliskan sekalimat dua kalimat hingga belasan kalimat untuk menyampaikan kesan-pesan saya terhadap mnc comics \o/
Komik pertama yang gue baca dan paling berkesan sampai hari ini yaitu Epotoransu Mai terbitan mnc comics. Gue ga bener-bener inget kelas berapa gue baca ini komik, entah dua atau tiga. Inilah komik yang berhasil buat gue jatuh cinta dengan dunia per-komik-an. Sampai hari ini pun gue masih inget ceritanya dan jatuh cinta sama si Takuma dari dunia digital :3
Entah berapa banyak judul komik mnc yang sudah gue baca sejak gue kenal komik di masa itu hingga sekarang, baik itu nyewa, pinjam maupun beli sendiri.
Dan pengarang-pengarang komik favorit gue hampir semuanya pada diterbitin mnc, contohnya Yagami Chitose, Watase Yuu, Usami Maki, Tite Kubo, Arina Tanemura, Miyawaki Yukino, Ai Morinaga, Hiro Fujiwara dan lain-lainnya yang masih seabrek. Jadi, bisa dikategorikan komik yang diterbitkan mnc comics memang top, dengan kualitas gambar dan cerita yang bisa buat pembacanya jungkir balik dari ngakak, nangis bombay bahkan jatuh hati dengan karakter komiknya!
* ehem. Itu truly gue alamin sik :') *
Mmmn, tentunya, komik-komik ini punya peranan superb penting dalam masa muda *halah* gue. Komik ini yang nemenin obrolan gue bareng temen-temen sambil ngejagoin tokoh masing-masing, dan paling penting perannya, yakni di jam-jam pelajaran kosong di sekolah ataupun sewaktu gue lagi bete nunggu. Komik-komik bagus nan menyentuh ini lah yang setia di dalam tas buat nemenin melewati masa-masa suka maupun dukanya remaja-remaja Indonesia, pada setuju kaaan?
Yang jelas, mnc comics itu komik-komiknya worth it buat dibeli dan dikoleksi baik-baik dalem lemari. Ga perlu takut cuma kebaca sekali, karena gue jamin, sekali beli bakal lu baca lagi-lagi-lagi-lagi-lagi-daaaaaan lagi. It won't bore you, believe me. Gue aja yang baru beli komik dalam sehari bisa berkali-kali gue baca sambil ngakak ga jelas. :))
But of course we need to balance our life. Baca komik juga sudah seharusnya diimbangi dengan belajar yang tekun!
Jadi, ini lah kesan gue terhadap mnc comics yang sudah bertahun-tahun dengan konsisten melayani dengan teramat baik. Pesan gue, semoga komik-komik yang sering lamaan terbit di Indonesia Raya ini urusan penerbitannya di permudah, dan tentunya sering-sering ada lomba begini dan gue menang :3
Dan tentu saja, gue selalu mendoakan agar mnc comics sukses dan jaya selalu! Happy reading, comic lovers and follow mnccomics for more information about comics
Daun yang Jatuh Tak Pernah Membenci Angin

Judul : Daun yang Jatuh Tak Pernah Membeci Angin
Penulis : Tere-Liye
Penerbit : Gramedia Pustaka Utama
Tahun terbit : 2010
Ukuran : 13.5 x 20 cm
Tebal : 256 halaman
Sudah beberapa bulan buku-buku karya penulis bernama Darwis Tere Liye banyak berjejer di rak-rak toko buku yang saya kunjungi. Penulis yang sebelumnya berprofesi wartawan ini telah menerbitkan beberapa novel seperti Burlian, Sunset bersama Rosie, dan lain sebagainya ini menuliskan salah satu novel romansa yang tak kalah indah dengan karya lainnya, yakni Daun yang Jatuh Tak Pernah Membenci Angin.
Bernama pena Tere-Liye membuat saya yang merupakan pembaca karya-karyanya mengira beliau adalah seorang perempuan yang lugas dalam menuliskan ragam kisah cinta. Cukup kaget yang saya rasakan saat tahu bahwa penulis yang sulit dicari informasi dirinya ini adalah seorang pria. Karya beliau yang saya baca kali ini adalah novel berkover hijau-cokelat.
Dengan sepenggal paragraf sinopsis tersebut, saya sukses menyukai buku tersebut dan mulai membacanya. Novel ini mengisahkan Tania, gadis kecil kucel dengan suara polosnya menyanyi di jalanan hingga angkutan umum dengan Dede - adik lelakinya - demi membantu penghidupan keluarganya di rumah kardus bersama sang ibu."Sekarang, ketika aku tahu dia bloeh jadi tidak pernah menganggapku lebih dari seorang adik yang tidak tahu diri, biarlah... Biarlah aku luruh ke bumi seperti sehelai daun... daun yang tidak pernah membenci angin meski harus terenggutkan dari tangkai pohonnya."
Adalah suatu hari ia dan Dede pulang dengan bus malam. Separuh hasil mengamen sesiangannya untuk obat ibu kandas di tangan preman jalanan yang mencekik Dede. Di perjalanan keduanya dalam bus, gadis kecil itu tak sengaja melukai kaki mungilnya yang kehitaman. Itulah malam saat roda dunianya berputar kembali.
Pria berumur dua puluhan yang Dede panggil dengan sebutan Oom itu adalah malaikat bagi keluarga kecil mereka. Pertemuan kedua mereka terjadi di malam selanjutnya, saat Oom malaikat mereka menghadiahkan masing-masing sepasang sepatu bersih mengkilap yang kontras dengan pakaian kusam di badan. Dari situlah Danar Danar - si Oom malaikat berkenalan dengan ibu Tania dan Dede, dan membantu peningkatan kondisi finansial keluarganya mulai dari bersekolahnya kembali Tania dan Dede, modal usaha kue ibunya hingga kehidupan mereka mulai berkecukupan.
Kedatangan kak Retna yang merupakan pacar Oom malaikat menimbulkan gejolak cemburu dalam diri Tania kecil yang tak ia mengerti hingga dewasa kelak.
Tania kecil berjanji pada dirinya sendiri, malaikat keluarganya akan menjadi orang yang ia hormati setelah ibu. Dan ia menepati janji itu setelah ibunya meninggalkan kehidupannya di dunia. Tania yang beranjak remaja dan dewasa melanjutkan Sekolah Menengah Pertamanya di Singapura bermodalkan dukungan malaikat mereka dan beasiswa ASEAN. Kecemerlangan Tania di bidang akademis kian bersinar dengan kecantikannya seiring beranjak dewasa. Bersama dengan pembelajarannya di negeri tetangga itu, ia membawa segumpal cinta yang telah dibawanya selama bertahun-tahun, mengulumnya pahit hingga malaikatnya dan kak Retna mengunjunginya di hari kelulusan. Mereka akan menikah.
Tere Liye yang khas tulisannya dengan bau sastra menceritakan kisah cinta yang sederhana dengan cara yang tidak sederhana. Sebagai pembaca seakan dibawa merasakan pedih manisnya benih-benih harapan dalam cinta, menunjukkan bahwa tak selamanya roda hidup kita akan berhenti di bawah. Intiplah cerita antara Daun dan Angin, dan anda akan dibawa berkeliling oleh Tere Liye dari Jakarta hingga Singapura dalam larutan bumbu-bumbu hidup.

Sky
Finally I have some time and more intention to post my works. And yes, I post another picture of sky since so so so so so so so so long time ago. With all due respect to Tangerang, I still can't capture any great sky photos although I've already been a year here.
This dark blue sky photo was taken by my Canon 60D in one afternoon about two months ago.
I took this one on my favorite spot to watch the sky : my home's back terrace. Where is kinda hotter since my neighbors keep build their houses higher.
And well, enjoy the picture. I wish people could gain some peace from the picture since I am feel great whenever look at sky picts. :)

Putih Abu
Judul : Refrain - Saat Cinta Selalu Pulang
Penulis : Winna Efendi
Penerbit : Gagas Media
Terbit : 2009
Diantara deretan buku di salah satu rak, tersembul novel ber-kover putih dengan rekatan amplop biru yang apik karya Winna Efendi. Buku yang kovernya sangat menarik perhatian ini merupakan karya ke tiga-nya yang telah diterbitkan setelah Kenangan Abu-Abu dan Ai. Penulis kelahiran 6 Januari ini kembali mengangkat tema universal yang seringkali muncul pada kisah-kisah lain: Cinta.
Pada novel-novel sebelumnya, penulis yang juga penyuka fashion ini menuliskan cerita cinta yang bersetting pada masa SMU yang konon kita kenal sebagai masa paling membahagiakan sebagai anak muda.
Yang membuat pembaca tertarik akan novel-novel karya Winna Efendi ialah karyanya yang seringkali mengangkat tema klasik tetapi tetap menggigit. Contohnya saja novel Refrain ini.
Refrain, sebuah novel yang mengisahkan sejuta rasa dibalik album putih abu-abu antara dua anak bumi Nata dan Niki.
Dikisahkan sepasang sahabat berinisialkan N ini telah menjalin pertemanan sejak kecil, dan selayaknya saudara keduanya saling menjaga. Niki, gadis cantik yang baru menginjak bangku SMU pun mulai mengenal kosmetik dan popularitas. Berkenalan dengan dunia remaja dan pergaulan, ia mengikuti kegiatan cheerleader yang tidak disukai Nata.
Diantara persahabatan mereka, muncul Oliver dan Annalise. Oliver, pentolan tim basket sekolah seberang memunculkan gelagap tak suka dari Nata atas kedekatannya dengan Niki. Di sisi lain, Annalise yang merupakan putri seorang model ternama berpindah sekolah dan sekelas bersama Nata dan Niki. Ajakan persahabatan antara Nata-Annalise-Niki awalnya tak ditanggapi oleh Nata yang cenderung introvert, namun hubungan mereka berkembang, hingga muncul rasa suka dalam diri Annalise.
Kompleksitas cerita ini berlanjut saat Niki yang semakin dekat dengan Oliver, dan Annalise yang telah menyadari isi hatinya terhadap Nata. Valentine tahun itu, Niki mendapat surat cinta beramplop biru, berisikan sepotong puisi manis yang entah siapa pengirimnya. Annalise yang menyadari perasaan Nata terhadap Niki urung menyatakan perasaannya dikarenakan ia tahu, semua akan berubah saat ia katakan isi hatinya. Oliver dan Niki yang kemudian berpacaran membuat persahabatan Nata dan Niki kian merenggang, dan malah mempererat persahabatannya dengan Annalise yang senang fotografi.
Tanpa sengaja, Niki melihat isi buku lagu Nata, yang ternyata berisikan potongan puisi beramplop biru di hari Valentine. Di lain pihak, Oliver yang setengah hati menyukai Niki pun hanya mempermainkan perasaannya dibawah tekanan Helena - pemimpin tim cheerleader - yang merasa terancam posisinya oleh Niki. Seiring kisah ini melaju, muncul lagi pergumulan Nata akan keputusannya bersekolah musik di NewYork.
Cerita remaja ini patut dibaca dan dicari tahu kelanjutannya. Dengan tema ringan, buku ini sangat cocok untuk merefresh otak yang penat dan membawa pembacanya tertawa hingga menangis saat membaca.

Spirit Stories
Title : SeoulMate
Author : Lia Indra Andriana
Publisher : Haru
Size : 13 x 19 cm
Thickness : 1.7 cm
SeoulMate is a novel written by Indonesian author based on Korea culture, which is reasonable if we see it by market demand. Nowadays, teens gonna choose lovey-dovey-Korea-novel since many people start to look at Korean culture like their singer, artists, and most popular one, boys/girls band.
This 11th novel by Lia Indra Andriana successfully interest me by it's cover which I think very cute and despite of the cover, the storyline itself surprise me. Tho I'm not a real writer, I read lot of books, and these weeks I try to read some Korea genre, which most of them are just too cheesy and there are too many annoying parts, but this SeoulMate novel is different in many way.
I fall for it cover and the story.
So, the story take place at Korea where lives Kim Sun, a girl who get part time volunteer work for an organization called Traveliyagi. One day, she was recruited by Si Won to SeoulMate, an organization which could help her explore and use her special ability : See the spirits.
At first, Sun refuse his offer until Si Won - he is the leader of SeoulMate - lure her using Dong's name. Dong is Si Won's best friend who have helped Sun in her hard time.
SeoulMate itself accept their customer's demand and do a project where a Soul/Spirit must do it together with his/her mate. Sun was a mate for a unnamed soul who get an amnesia and ask her to gather information so that he could remember who he is.
Unnamed, then Sun give him random name : Jang. Taken from a magazine when they look at it, Jang Geun Seok.
Day by day, their bad relationship start to be better, until they meet Arang, an old Korea soul.
At the same time, Sun feels jealous with that soul without herself noticing that she's in love with Jang, and they were in misunderstanding condition where Jang think Sun is hiding the information about his identity and Sun herself doesn't even know about it either why Jang keep throw his anger toward her.
Well, how could a Soul and his mate being in love? This novel is a nice one and entertaining. You'll catch yourself somehow smiling when read it ;)

Twitter Fever
Title : Twivortiare
Author : Ika Natassa
Publisher : Nulisbuku.com and Gramedia Pustaka Utama
Here it is, the 5th novel of banker-writer Ika Natassa : Twivortiare. Applying her writes into tweets is such an unique way to create a book, since we know twitter have limited characters in usage. That's one factor that I think good from this book.
What interest me of her writes IS how she could make those character so live, that there are no perfect someone, where everyone have their own bitchy side.
In this book, it tell readers about Alexandra's life by her tweets, which account have many people follow her and she's becoming a celebtwit (celebrity in twitter life). Still, it tell story of this bitchy banker love life who love late night dinner at Sabang fried rice with her hot-surgeon husband.
Beside the main characters, there are their friends and uniquely, some replying tweets between Alex and her followers, which are random.
This novel is worth to read and entertaining! Get one and spend your day with it is nice ;)

lamp in the box
This is an assignment for my shape and form analysis class last exam. I think it could be a sleep lamp in the night since the lamp is small. Well, just keep lot of battery in your desk then :))
Title : LIFE
"Relevansi judul karya saya dan elemen serta prinsipnya yaitu karya saya menceritakan kehidupan. Bingkai merepresentasikan dunia yang luas, dengan bagian isi daripada bingkai adalah hidup manusia yang hanya sepersekian dari dunia yang luas. Perahu kertas adalah manusia dan gelombang air yang abstrak adalah problema-problema dalam hidup, serta lampu diletakkan di bagian puncak dengan burung dan awan, yang merupakan apa yang ingin dicapai setiap orang yaitu kebahagiaan dan kesejahteraan. Adapun kapal dibuat seakan makin mendekat dengan langit-langit dimaksudkan bahwa dengan hantaman permasalahan dan cobaan dapat membuat seseorang menjadi kuat dan mencapai puncak, serta walaupun permasalahan terus ada dan menggoyahkan manusia, manusia harus tahu bahwa suatu saat, masalah akan hilang dan mereka dapat menemukan kebahagiaan. Karya saya ini mengandung pesan bahwa jangan menyerah dalam melakukan apapun, yang tertuang dalam proses pembuatannya serta konsepnya."
family portrait
Here there are, another pics of my tasks for last assignment for my painting class.
the theme is : peoples around you who contributes most in your life - well, in simple way, peoples who you think are important.
So at first, I was going to paint down Jeffri fernando and his works (book covers) on glass jars. But the jars I want are with cork on it's top, and I couldn't find it. That's why I chose ceramic plates.
When I tried to make his book covers on plate, the size just didn't suit well, and it looks bad. So, I chose to paint down my family faces.
Well, I think it's same if I paint on canvas or on the plate, but... the acrylic didn't glued on the plate!
I sit since 8 in morning and ended my day at about 2 in night, when the day already changed. Hell? yeah. I got back ache those days.
Well, enjoy it!

Fashionista
Here it is, a long ago project in my digital class. So, we learn to made a good leaflet, and well, we avoid the death center which is bore. This leaflet's information is - of course! - fake, since it's just to fulfill my task.
I feel bad since we were given the model in white and grey, I actually prefer she's in brown-y long coat and boots, with a newsboy cap. To give the balance in this leaflet, I choose to use some whitey color for fonts and keep the white background of the "products".
Enjoy it :)

Korea's Hanbok



Come another pictures of my class team project..
So, this is a project about recycling stuffs. Me and my four other friends ( one of my friend isn't in the pict) are in a team which we named Yeoja (girls). Our concept is make a costume, Korea's traditional costume which called hanbok.
Guess what the material we use is? *drumrools* Guess it already, no?
Well, our basic material is the magazine. Old one, of course.
The pink vest is made by magazines and used plastic for the arm part which we colored soft pink. Then the purple part was also made by magazines, the same went with that small bag which also use rope as the holder.
The grey ribbon on vest is using patchwork, which we glued to the vest for the collar and special ribbon as the hanbok usually have.
And we add little motif detail with gold acrylic paint at the bottom of purple skirt. Recycle completed
