Our comic, my project with a huge help from Maxima, now is officially published in Indonesian in different title. As Editor asked to change the title, so I came up with a kind of cheesy as it sounds, "Rainbow Under the Sun".


Also, with commission help from powree , we got helluva positive feedback from the readers who's interested with her coloring. Man, editor does love her and says it fits the theme and illustration more. As this is a work between Maxima and I, we decide to put "Team IRREGULARS" as the author's name.

"Guntur isn't from a sufficient family. To pay his school fee, he must have a part-time job, helping his Dad as a Construction Worker. That way, Guntur is held back for few times. Nevertheless, the wage he still could save the wage for Nisa, Guntur's Sister who's smarter than him, in case she wants to go to the college. But... is it fair for Guntur to sacrifice his future for his Sister?

Rainbow Under the Sun is a collection of short stories about love, friendship, and humanity that will touch your deepest heart,"


As I see it, the effort to tone it in A4, 600 dpi is really worth it. Even the first one I worked in 300 dpi still looks good. I guess I'm pretty much satisfied about the results.

In other news, in the same time, my gag comic "Bitter Coffee" also got into 4th edition of  "Koloni Jagoan" (Indonesia Local Comic Super Heroes).
 


You can't find it? Flip the Cover, then.




Yep, my comic is there for a small 10 pages bumper. But with "RUtS" I won't mind much. Besides, having a place with the stories I consider cool and great is more than enough. This edition of "Koloni Jagoan" is actually better than the 3rd, and so far I found the 2nd edition is par with this from the compiled stories. Being a bumper with these guys is COOL! I really respect these guys!

Okay,  so basically why I ask your attention for this, because this is the deal: Furry is here and I'm trying to make its way to mainstream. I don't need to tell about BItter Coffee, because it's shown itself. But why with RUtS?

Because there's a bonus chapter inside about this:

Need I say more? I know it's just a one small chapter, but we're trying to go there.


And as I talked with Editor about the opportunity to sell it overseas, he actually said hey could do something about it. He said they might try selling it in print or Itunes, whichever  may work as long as I have the English scripts. Heck YEAH I have prepared it before, so I guess I will ask for your support about this from now on, if you don't mind.

This is it for now. I'll update more as soon I get news about it. Thanks for being there for us, guys.

SOME FELLA IN FB: "Dude, is there any good game for PS3?"

Me: "Dude, try Marvel vs Capcom 3. It's been released by now."

SOME FELLA IN FB: "Huh? Really? I dunno, i guess people my ages don't play such game anymore,"

Me: *twitches* "Oh, How old do you think Marvel's fans are?"

SOME FELLA IN FB: "I dunno, teens?"

Me: *TWITCHES* *HOLDS ANGER* ... *sighes* "Lurk moar!"

SOME FELLA IN FB: "? sure..."

........................................................

a day after that

SOME FELLA IN FB: "DUDE! MARVEL vs CAPCOM 3 ROCKS! There's IRON MAN, AMATERASU, VIEWTIFUL JOE, WOLVERINE AND OTHER HEROES! GOD I'M SO EXPECTING THIS SO BAD! WHICH HEROES DO YOu WANNA SEE MORE TO FIGHT!? OMG THIS IS SO DESERVED TO BE ANIMATED!!"
(and keeps making status about how awesome Marvel vs Capcom 3 is)

Me: "........................................"

Heh heh heh, the power of Capcom Conversion, you must have underestimated them a bit too much.

Recently, the local publisher in my country made an announcement what would make their comics passable, but with UNDERSCORE and BOLD, so you know, implicitly, they want it done.

Fanbase.

( ...and then things got worse... )

Luckily, this time I'm NOT ALONE! Lots of usually positive replies becomes tsunami of raeg backdraft that the publisher decided to abort that note and deleted it as if it never happens. Shortly, SCREW this "FANBASE RULE", I hope the Editor learns the lesson from this mistake!

This song describes my sitch the best



It was a good relationship. I'm glad we discussed this, face-to-face, with cool heads like adults do. No trauma, no heart-wrenching and no drama. Thanks a lot.

Stop acting cute.

Seriously, STOP ACTING CUTE, OKAY!?

DON't YOu GET IT!? DON't YOU DARE F*CKIN' PURR ON MY LAP!! That's NOT CUTE!! I'll... I'll... I'LL.........


"No questions asked! Capische? Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz...,"


*sigh* Dammit... {=<

A single stroke of drawing lips could give a very different perspective which makes a character looks more mature. However, without it, you'll see they still have cuteness within.
Which one would you choose?

ヽ(^o^)ノ
Yeah I know there's still the 3rd, but GIMME A BREAK! It's so tiring to hunt all the damn cards, Waving In and Out back and forth here and there. And not to mention Ookamiden has been released! And I still have work on the comic, GAWD! (;＞A＜;)　

You're cuter this way...

The kitten in  my friend's studio now is presumably one year old since I saw him the first time. The name "Jabrik" (Indonesian for "Spiky hair") doesn't even fit him anymore as his furr becomes neater and neater.



He's still one spoiled kitty though ♥

At last I have compiled this PATLABOR clip after trying to download it here and there...

This clip tells a story of a Day if Izumi Noah when she's having day off in 2nd Division Patrol Labor. Originally this video's length is 45 minutes, but between the original clips, there are PATLABOR music clips with some scenes from the TV series, OVAs, and movie, so I cut the unneeded parts and compiled the new ones and tadah, here it is: Noah's having a day off and going to have her date to Patlabor Concert ♫

Enjoy ♥
