no reason, I was just trying to sleep :D

I never really did commission, (except for Fred) so it was quite a surprise when someone contacted me saying that they want to BUY my work, not to publish or anything, ,just to put it on the wall, whoa boy. even myself don’t have my own work on the wall, beside small printed out co_Okie flyer, LoL

and not only that, they want it BIG, to be exact, the size of two Mcdonald tables we were at. I never done anything bigger than A4 to be honest, I was hesitated but they even encourage me, plus the money is always good, so I said yes and even told them it would only take a week.

I got cocky, it took almost a month :P

The size was really big, I don’t have any table big enough to work on, at first I tried to work on the floor, but I’m getting old. my back was breaking. My dad suggest I should tape it on the wall instead. It was a bit better but not much, definitely not my idea of work condition.

Working on something this big is really not easy for me, only one good thing about it I can come up with probably that your stroke doesn’t really have to be precised. That alone isn’t worth all other troubles. Smudge is my number one mortal enemy, Because my hand sweated SO much that I actually smeared the ink after it was totally dried O_O

other trouble is copic, copic isn’t meant to be used in WIDE area, it was almost impossible to keep it even, even with wide tip.

looked like done, but not yet. I almost let it go like this because I know I couldn’t really keep copic paint even in wide area, and I don’t want to fuck it up, but our dear Fehed insisted I shouldn’t leave it like this. he suggested that I just put some shadow under Clarence and on tree. Then I remembered that I have three aircan for copic airbrush left, I decided to use copic airbrush for the sky, probably better than trying to paint it with copic normally.

came out not bad at all, looked definitely finished!

all that for 100$, can you believe it?

I got two weeks off, I long for it for a very very long time.

and when I finally got it, I spent it all playing Lineage II.

it got pretty sick even imo ^^;; all I did for two weeks was waking up, logging in, play, play, play, the only time I wasn’t sitting in front of pc clicking away was when I slept and when I was in bathroom.

I survived.

and that two weeks vacation is now over, time to get back to clarence and general whinging, XD

but I didn’t because…

1. I want RAM at least 512MB, but the only way to get that is to pay 5000 baht more for 512 RAM stick because mac mini has only one slot and the shop won’t buy back the 256 that come with it, that mean I would be left with useless 256 mac RAM that I cannot use anyway, and the price would sky rocketing to 30,000 baht…

2. I want Tiger, but that’s another 5000 baht to pay…

3. I want mac keyboard, and that’s really expensive for just a keyboard.

4. mac mini has only one audio output, which mean I can not use my 5.1 cambridge soundworks…

5. mac mini has only 2 USB port, I need USB port for at lease printer, scanner AND wacom tablet…

6. chances are that my scanner might not work with mac..

7. Lineage II doesnt have mac version.. < -- this isnt really important, I can always keep pc for just playing game..

I wanted it so much, I tried and tried to work it out, but there’s really no way I can buy and use mac effectively unless I have more money ;_; damn me for being such a poor fool..

ps. 1$ ~= 38-40 baht

me: I’m gonna get my haircut and dye my hair red, BRIGHT RED
friend: what? like Fred?
me: what? Fred wasn’t redhead
friend: RM Fred..
me: oh.. but still, this has nothing to do with Fred.
friend: you know you started to become like Fred more and more
me: WHAT??
