And another finished piece. And wow, exactly one month since my previous post.

For those keeping track, I'm starting my internship in a matter of days. Exciting stuff.

Finally, another finished piece.

I'm pretty happy with how it turned out, though in retrospect it sure feels like I could have done much better with the shader and render. Somewhat overdid the fresnel effect. I'll get better.

15 days have passed since my ORD. I must say the freedom has been nothing short of... strange. Anyway I've still been keeping busy like in the past. Here's a wip. It doesn't seem like much right now, but hopefully you'll get to see some interesting results soon. Cheers.

"Training to be soldiers,
fight for our land.
Once in our life,
two years of our time.
Have you ever wondered,
why must we serve?
Because we love our land,
and we want it to be free, to be free."
- Army song

I spent only 2 months of my service time in the army during Basic Military Training, after which I was posted to the Navy. I don't think anybody forgets their BMT days, since it's the one common phase in everybody's NS life. It's also our first taste of regimentation and military erm... discipline. This picture really sucks but it's all I've got.

And so my National Service comes to an end on this hallowed day. No cheering, bellowing or chest-thumping. No parade, rifle salute or sergeant-major in sight. Just me, walking out of a rather quiet base on a Tuesday morning alone. I believe most people who were from Army BMT and got posted to the Navy felt damn alienated. I kept expecting to be posted to armour or infantry or the like. Navy wasn't what I expected. It was more, and I am grateful for the experience. But I have done my time. I may reminisce occasionally, but I'm not looking anywhere else but ahead.

ORD loh.

I just met up with Ken Foo yesterday to buy his illustrated storybook 'Little Mechanic Daniel'. Well I did see him at the Comic Convention, but didn't chat him up. He's a really cool guy in person, and not the insane drooling monster I always imagined him to be. He's also possibly one of the most under-rated storytellers on our pragmatic little island, and I sure hope he continues doing what he does, else the world would be a poorer place.

Check out his stuff Here.

Finally, after more than 2 years, a slightly fresher coat of paint, albeit with the same colour scheme. Gallery and demoreel has been updated so do check it out. Will be back with better material as soon as I can.

Cheers friends.
