The Imperial Talker (Updated: 22nd Jan 2020 – Twitter account no longer exists) tweeted about a dream he had involving popcorn. I chimed in and… things escalated. Who knows, maybe we will discover in December that this IS an actual scene with Chewbacca and the porgs in Star Wars The Last Jedi.

Symposium Gift Artwork
At the language symposium last week, besides the two assignments I wrote about I also had a third task: Which was to sketch some artwork to be printed and presented as gifts to the special guests of the event. The common theme for each drawing was Perlis. I drew them all in Krita separately. Photographic references, of course, were used. Originally I had composed them all in a single artwork. Ultimately, the committee decided to frame them as separate images.The artwork was printed and framed in groups of fives and threes. Here is one of the group-of-three frames given to the speaker after the teaching workshop in the afternoon. Click here to view the artwork on ArtStation.

Sketch Wars on Twitter had a porg theme over the week, so I thought I’d chip in with a porg wearing Rebel SpecForce outfit for some reason or other. Well, I thought it was hilarious. Here are some of the other participants’ pictures: Part 1 of this week’s #sketchwarsdrawingclub – THANK YOU everyone who submitted their great artwork! ❤️ it all ☺️ pic.twitter.com/0fck96VIeu — Sketch Wars ✖️ (@SketchWars) July 29, 2017 Part 2 of this week’s #sketchwarsdrawingclub – THANK YOU everyone who submitted their great artwork! ❤️ it all ☺️ #porgs #starwars pic.twitter.com/O9Psvk4KvX — Sketch Wars ✖️ (@SketchWars) July 29, 2017 Part 3 of this week’s #sketchwarsdrawingclub – THANK YOU everyone who submitted their great artwork! ❤️ it all ☺️ #porgs #starwars pic.twitter.com/snDVyKKBpy — Sketch Wars ✖️ (@SketchWars) July 29, 2017 Part 4 of this week’s #sketchwarsdrawingclub – THANK YOU everyone who submitted their great artwork! ❤️ it all ☺️ […]

Two years ago ago, I did a unit logo patch for Seamus Conneely’s Star Wars RPG campaign. Seamus recently contacted me again to commission a logo for his website Cannibal Halfling Gaming. The site features reviews, essays and adventure logs of many tabletop roleplaying games. Click on the halfling below to view the full image.

Meanwhile all through this month and the last, I have been slowly working my way through DwD Studios‘ artwork for their upcoming FrontierSpace RPG. As per the last update, here is a selection of scenes created for the chapter headers.
Continue readingEarly Ramadhan in Perak
I drew the artwork above while in Sitiawan. It was the start of the second week of Ramadhan when we all drove to Perak for a long weekend to buka puasa with Irfan’s grandparents. Also, there was some business to be had in Ipoh with Wan Cu and family facilitating said business. It has been a while since we drove to their house in Ipoh from Sitiawan. I nearly got lost because the phone could not acquire the GPS signal long enough to tell us which direction we should take. But because of the ordeal we underwent, I think I will be able to remember it from now on. We left for home from Ipoh, heading north and parting ways with Atok and Opan at Wan Cu’s place.

Besides robots, I have also submitted some chapter pages to DwD Studios for FrontierSpace. I feel bad for the slow output though. The semester is almost over, so things might go faster after. The role-playing game is currently being playtested. Watch this space for the release of FrontierSpace from DwD Studios !

FrontierSpace RPG artwork is currently underway, slowly thanks to gout and day job duties that had been increased greatly. Here are some robotic preview artwork I have submitted to DwD Studios for FrontierSpace.

The other RPG campaign I played in more-or-less regularly with the Gamers of Kuala Lumpur crew is Night’s Black Agents where we played an group of international freelance agents with contacts with various countries’ espionage network who were embroiled in a plot to take over the world. With dogs. Who might be sentient vampires. Also, an infectious hemovirus pathogen. Here are all the drawings I made for various actual play reports I wrote for the campaign on this blog.

Over the years I drew pictures for the actual play reports of Eclipse Phase that I played with the GOKL crew, I have never collected all the artwork in a single post… until now. Click on the images to expand them. So many other occurrences that I did not during various earlier GMing sessions before I started writing the play reports, such as… Cable tumbling down Olympus Mons for two sessions — at least the team breaking Hokusai out of a sushi bar driving with neo-chimpanzee trucker BJ the Bear that time Bishop was sleeved in the neo-corvid morph (a.k.a the “chicken suit”) for a reconnaissance mission at the 2309 Mr. Spock asteroid habitat in the Belt which turned into a one-man battle scenario while the others watched remotely from their ship and that one time the team travelled to a protected section at the centre of Mars, discovered […]

I haven’t had the opportunity to draw and paint anything for myself in the last several months. Maybe longer. It ends today with this speedpainting I cooked up between various work-to-be-done-before-Monday.

I was busy all through to the end of 2016 that I was oblivious to stuff happening in Kangar. For example, I recently discovered an alley near the centre of town which had been adorned by colourful street art apparently painted by schoolchildren from all over Malaysia. I thought I would take a couple of photos for documentation’s sake, because this must have been a really fun event for the attendees.

I drew the General a couple of days ago with a pencil. Then I took a photo of it. Later, General.

It is a wonder to see my niece’s Alya’s artistic skills develop, receiving updates from my sister. She is not only becoming quite the artist, but her skills in digital art using rudimentary art tools are now very impressive for her age! Here are a couple of drawings Alya made that Sila emailed me over the last couple of weeks: These are made freehand and with a mouse. I have also suggested they buy a graphics tablet for her and her brother to draw with. Perhaps they could use something more complicated than Paint; such as GIMP or Krita.

Erik Jensen commissioned a drawing of his wife – who is a huge Star Wars fan – as a purple lightsabre swinging Jedi who also happens to be an X-wing fighter pilot. Also included is the astromech droid designated BB-2. This is one of the rare instances where I draw an original Star Wars character which is not involved in any RPG campaigns.
