speedpaint stuff

I was just sketching away, trying to not get rigid about cging, trying to not trying too hard (confuse?), I think I like the result better when I don't worry about making them looking pretty, weird huh?

Walled City of Kowloon

is my new muse.

I always love abandoned places, be it factory or hospital or amusement park. I have a lot of photo of those places in my HD. But abandoned cities hold the special place in my heart, I love looking at them, I love reading about them, I love everything about them, and love to use them in my comics, San Sabian was born from my obsession with Gunkanjima. Because of this, I knew most of the well-known abandoned cities, Prypiat (of Chernobly fame), Gunkanjima, Centralia, etc.

But not the Kowloon Walled City.



Thanks to this blog article via Digg. This blog had just earned a honorary position in my rss feed lists XD

Maybe the different of this city compare to other abandoned cities is that the ruin itself no longer exists. The city was demolished in 1993 and in its place is now a park.

quote from wiki:

...the Walled City began to grow. Square buildings folded up into one another as thousands of modifications were made, virtually none by architects or engineers, until the entire City became monolithic. Labyrinthine corridors ran through the City, some former streets (at the ground level, and often clogged up with refuse), and some running through upper floors, through and between buildings. The streets were illuminated by fluorescent lights, as sunlight rarely reached the lower levels.

It's survival horror heaven.

The outside view of it is nothing new to me, you can find plenty of this kinda buildings in Thailand. But the gems are (were? since it no longer exists XD) inside. The narrowed street, the stair between the buildings, the wires, the pipes. It sparked my imagination like no other things do, and I'm not the only one affected by it. :)

My favorite inside shot.



For more photo (much much more) check out this forum, there's also a book, but.. 85$ @_@, a shaky video of the city (from 1990, skip to 6:00 for the inside of city).

First, Cute shoes, does anyone have shoes like this? or is it considered an abomination like Ugg? I really don't understand fashionheads.


I got Liquid City in my hands, and it is really cool!

Full colors, big and thick, all glossy, mmmm.



Table of contents, my name is misprinted here, no biggy tho.


Mine is right on page 100! only 7 pages tho, but good 7 pages I promise! buy it please?

seeing it like this, make me want to have my own whole comic book in colors, this size, this thick, this glossy, I guess that's my goal now |D

Lastly, lovely Snarry* if you don't know what Snarry is.. ignore this XD



I probably should have separate lj for pervy stuff, but I didn't do it that often, just once in a blue moon, so bear with me yeah?
