<br />
I've been away from my blog for a long time and apparently I'm still alive. So, I decided to write again with a tutorial of my latest portrait painting. Here it is...<br />
<br />

I used this photo asa reference, only the head (because I'm too lazy to paint the body) and did a little improvisation with his hair:<br />

<br />
First, let's start with my colour palette. If you've read <a href="http://tessafebiani.blogspot.com/2011/09/as-you-can-see-on-my-previous-blog.html">my old tutorial of Luke Skywalker painting</a>, it's basically almost the same. Not only the colour palette, but also the whole technique. I use these colours in almost every painting I made.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-LstZVt7KBWcXu2eoIiE0TiS7niRsEGgS3fDL73hh7S3ufuaAnI9l4chJ80ggc6FJZnOUmJT4wvHVrj5zSkgBH4ag-h5gYe5VMiwQIHLnB5kANPlSxBCIZzp7mX7fOANcylReSzUW5Ch6/s1600/color+palette+small.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="337" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-LstZVt7KBWcXu2eoIiE0TiS7niRsEGgS3fDL73hh7S3ufuaAnI9l4chJ80ggc6FJZnOUmJT4wvHVrj5zSkgBH4ag-h5gYe5VMiwQIHLnB5kANPlSxBCIZzp7mX7fOANcylReSzUW5Ch6/s400/color+palette+small.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Always use these colours...</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
Okay, you're ready with the paint now. Let's start to draw...<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
1. Sketch</div>
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEKMJMOZELywZ4_3N72sRgjJbCbZ0sMncXnQggP2NpPcm8aDoBsfTOgyA3ABwnVFarQDeXQEp1OqdVQD-nKRUGkOs-CY_UM53Y7WcQZRN1AO_ysl-yAE6s-K2_vQtZbtAzlOllLxF9SxX0/s1600/00.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEKMJMOZELywZ4_3N72sRgjJbCbZ0sMncXnQggP2NpPcm8aDoBsfTOgyA3ABwnVFarQDeXQEp1OqdVQD-nKRUGkOs-CY_UM53Y7WcQZRN1AO_ysl-yAE6s-K2_vQtZbtAzlOllLxF9SxX0/s640/00.jpg" width="484" /></a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Sketch</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<div>
When making a full colour portrait painting, I usually draw a not-too-detailed-sketch. As you can see on the picture above, the sketch is basically just thin outlines. I add the details later.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
2. Base colour</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicav2lHA2ThdkdPBm1sggSQ5WG_RNBMZggepvtMIP0nBoEDmqILbnOcxRzie9HqAyRfKfFMeC-_3yacDlnlRmis1jC0biEqA6WnEBbftZ4Bb_yYfeJsHLcpEM9sb8P0Nx8k3eChjSK6BmW/s1600/01.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicav2lHA2ThdkdPBm1sggSQ5WG_RNBMZggepvtMIP0nBoEDmqILbnOcxRzie9HqAyRfKfFMeC-_3yacDlnlRmis1jC0biEqA6WnEBbftZ4Bb_yYfeJsHLcpEM9sb8P0Nx8k3eChjSK6BmW/s640/01.jpg" width="486" /></a></div>
<div>
<br />
<div>
When the sketch is done, let's start the painting with applying base colour. For skin colour, I use white and pale orange (for sakura water colour user) or naples yellow red (for van gogh watercolour user). It doesn't have to be exactly pale orange or naples yellow red. Pale orange is the colour I used when I started to learn portrait painting. I got it in sakura transparent watercolour set, which is my favourite brand, but unfortunately, it's no longer produced. So when I ran out of the painting, I was forced to choose other brand and I ended up with van gogh watercolour's napples yellow red. I think other watercolour brands have similar colour, such as flesh tint. You can use any similar colour you like. If you don't have any, just make your own mixed colour. Since it's called pale orange, obviously you can use orange which is very pale. Just added lots of water and white colour.</div>
<div>
After you applied this basic colour, you can go make a cup of tea or coffee while waiting it dry.<br />
<br />
Note: For other colour, I use Cotman watercolours (Winsor & Newton)</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
(And sorry, apparently I forgot to put this colour on the colour palette picture above.)</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
3. Start the layer...</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjs96MkoLepythG5GR1vi38bMs5eaGJAwDiphwhhsgnYE6wbmK46ucX_fdJHbtLqHniROTVMFUGqgDg5gJhKFusmWAWe1EU788n17RqBIxsZaYgKJTOW86PDRG0uowaXgeozRga5I40w9fK/s1600/02.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjs96MkoLepythG5GR1vi38bMs5eaGJAwDiphwhhsgnYE6wbmK46ucX_fdJHbtLqHniROTVMFUGqgDg5gJhKFusmWAWe1EU788n17RqBIxsZaYgKJTOW86PDRG0uowaXgeozRga5I40w9fK/s640/02.jpg" width="488" /></a></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Okay, here comes the ugliest part. </div>
<div>
Start painting the darker area on the face around his eyes, nose, lips and neck with a thin layer of yellow ochre and burnt sienna. Patience is the key of my painting. Even though it looks very ugly, but you need to keep applying a thin layer over and over again. The result will be much better than applying a thick and bold layer at once. </div>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
4. Another layer...</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxpSRGgyRnu3DOgjrfPoBGjVFYl9XfavaSnCJQBxF_G6y_droVRqpWIcSoWuoc7Yx2Z-wdjfZUT5FZyOb2AMTX0r9YVA8EMtRotMVAWc8fHXXta7Q0RleQ2ao0Ren4PfUbohV5vTs-8aua/s1600/03.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxpSRGgyRnu3DOgjrfPoBGjVFYl9XfavaSnCJQBxF_G6y_droVRqpWIcSoWuoc7Yx2Z-wdjfZUT5FZyOb2AMTX0r9YVA8EMtRotMVAWc8fHXXta7Q0RleQ2ao0Ren4PfUbohV5vTs-8aua/s640/03.jpg" width="492" /></a></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
You've past the ugliest part. Just keep applying more layers. I use vandyke brown for darker area now. Don't put away you pale orange color because you can use it again for pinkish area, lips and cheeks. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
5. Yes, still layers...</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjog1ExsvqVQs4UlLItWVpQ7mNPrOFXYbBtuie7QMLWOHGtheXMJC6V2s-iv2J41s24a36TT8c5CGZYNORtCje7yFh8WKOUJe2sM_qNlgaqGBaLLvGJyZoJ6TOkJudKQpOVWY7xfqfwSJ7R/s1600/04.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjog1ExsvqVQs4UlLItWVpQ7mNPrOFXYbBtuie7QMLWOHGtheXMJC6V2s-iv2J41s24a36TT8c5CGZYNORtCje7yFh8WKOUJe2sM_qNlgaqGBaLLvGJyZoJ6TOkJudKQpOVWY7xfqfwSJ7R/s640/04.jpg" width="490" /></a></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Yay! It's getting better now. For the darkest area on his face, I use sepia or dark brown. FYI, I seldom use black on my painting. If you think sepia isn't dark enough, mix it with blue (I use indigo here). </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
6. Don't get bored with layers</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6xFZFdiNqWjFCzTXrVoTxfkTksAkxlQA4e-v4762wFwkZc3bsG0CJVEHo_CkdJDAtV05AOLnG3UG42yWPMKXHQGMmrEq6jEwo_RZ5Hj1DFQiWx1Dn36-ciXt4VOFmE_cboOjC68fZla2m/s1600/05.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6xFZFdiNqWjFCzTXrVoTxfkTksAkxlQA4e-v4762wFwkZc3bsG0CJVEHo_CkdJDAtV05AOLnG3UG42yWPMKXHQGMmrEq6jEwo_RZ5Hj1DFQiWx1Dn36-ciXt4VOFmE_cboOjC68fZla2m/s640/05.jpg" width="490" /></a></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
My technique is basically doing the same thing over and over again. In this stage, I still keep putting another layer until I get the colour I desire. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
7. I know... It's like endless layers.</div>
<div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiE0tnObtymcVSiSXY4oG07bEGqS2cn2h6hW4YYQcbG_sOfWQfKhmXFeMrW7w9-gLUksMz8eO90vWWWD5g97XNmhWrSIiuIK8gApwcQfXalU63xY3mR30kk_B6cfb4-mU6T9T5x0CTcCNFG/s1600/06.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiE0tnObtymcVSiSXY4oG07bEGqS2cn2h6hW4YYQcbG_sOfWQfKhmXFeMrW7w9-gLUksMz8eO90vWWWD5g97XNmhWrSIiuIK8gApwcQfXalU63xY3mR30kk_B6cfb4-mU6T9T5x0CTcCNFG/s640/06.jpg" width="488" /></a></div>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Okay, I even get bored with my own technique. What should you do when you get tired of applying layers at the same place? Just move to other area. Now I start to put basic colour on his hair. It's yellow ochre. Now you can drink the tea you've made earlier while waiting the hair dry.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
8. Don't worry... It's getting better.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhefahR6X3PDxoxLc7wf5jb7Bq3YKTDsiP_hCBcKDAVrNAOHIvaQ-9axPyfDPo5bJqA1PCjbYX45R76FlAxdK7dvVi4fbavCHL545xOlviVr4ld42pVWEKq0ADSur0iQVVf35bJLrJyc0qZ/s1600/07.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhefahR6X3PDxoxLc7wf5jb7Bq3YKTDsiP_hCBcKDAVrNAOHIvaQ-9axPyfDPo5bJqA1PCjbYX45R76FlAxdK7dvVi4fbavCHL545xOlviVr4ld42pVWEKq0ADSur0iQVVf35bJLrJyc0qZ/s640/07.jpg" width="488" /></a></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
After I put yellow ochre on the hair, I paint his hair layers with vandyke brown and sepia. After the dark area is done, you can add a fine line of white paint on it. Just do a single-and-confident-stroke to make a nice thin white line. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
9. White paint effect!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiR2L3RsPkmTfidL2N2bMHctUAD1JraL58B5eN656ugDgYPCBjm1L5p8ec-FnpxSkcGuU76KDIBvFfzDPqcMlgbUdt5rqPuR9Z8dg9IAj8Onxfxiicmrt7mS3GlSm5plFvnD3Ob7KZsanS1/s1600/08.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiR2L3RsPkmTfidL2N2bMHctUAD1JraL58B5eN656ugDgYPCBjm1L5p8ec-FnpxSkcGuU76KDIBvFfzDPqcMlgbUdt5rqPuR9Z8dg9IAj8Onxfxiicmrt7mS3GlSm5plFvnD3Ob7KZsanS1/s640/08.jpg" width="488" /></a></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
If you like the result on the hair, let's go back to his face. You have to finish the darker layers on his face now. And here is my favourite part... Creating lighter effect with white paint. I use white gouache to make this effect because gouache has an opaque characteristic. Put the white paint on his nose, cheek bones, eyes, lips and above his eyebrow to make his face looks bright and shinny. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
10. It's almost done!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0YSxOABl8q_-rgKTs0Ucp5E7omYmInupeuwfWVPPQsvoEt8fpyDdrWbgm9U6DqA8D34DomkxqnzbmSGL1C0K1y3v-w-Ynx4vQX1R4Ia_Ze4KlVSn5r-9hnJEw-RVmOOqu7KEfVTOpYgg8/s1600/09.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0YSxOABl8q_-rgKTs0Ucp5E7omYmInupeuwfWVPPQsvoEt8fpyDdrWbgm9U6DqA8D34DomkxqnzbmSGL1C0K1y3v-w-Ynx4vQX1R4Ia_Ze4KlVSn5r-9hnJEw-RVmOOqu7KEfVTOpYgg8/s640/09.jpg" width="492" /></a></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I'm (almost) done with his face and hair, now it's time to paint the background. Honestly, background is supposed to be the first thing to paint before you start painting the object. But, painting background is my least favourite part, so I keep doing it at the end of my painting. It's a bad habit. Don't do it....</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
11. Voila!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div>
</div>
<div>
Paint his suit and... Finally, it's done!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Thanks for reading. Please noted that this is the technique I develop through years of practise. I'm glad if this tutorial helps you improving your technique, but you don't have to follow it if you don't want to. Painting is something you have to enjoy and inventing your own method is definitely the fun way to shape your skill and make a better painting. </div>

Not to mention, there's one of my favorite actors in this movie, Liam Neeson. Also, there are some scenes in The Phantom Menace that would be awesome if we can see it in 3D, such as the podracing and Darth Maul fighting scene. So sad I can't watch it here :( </div><div><br /></div><div>When I heard about the news of the movie being re-released in 3D, I was a bit upset because George Lucas decided to release Episode I first. And I also heard that the whole saga will be released in 3D, one movie per year. It means the original trilogy will be released on... wait... let me count first. A New Hope on 2015, The Empire Strikes Back on 2016 and Return of the Jedi on 2017. Whaatttt??? I will be so old by the time they're released :( But now, I feel soooo lucky they chose to release Episode I first. I cannot imagine how depressed I am if I can't watch the original trilogy in 3D. Of course I never watch them on theatre and really really want to.

Or good morning to everyone on different side of the world. <div>It is Monday early morning here and I just can't sleep. So I grab my paper and pencil to start making something. I remember that I want to make a series of postcards of Star Wars fanart. I've made the first one, which is Luke Skywalker postcard. Since I decided to give it to a friend, I need to paint another one. But for this moment, I'm just in the mood to make another character postcard. It is Boba Fett. Here is the sketch.

That means my chosen work will be featured on the site for a day. Which work is it? Apparently it's my papercutting-bound-into-book work. Yes, it is <a href="http://tessachen.deviantart.com/art/Book-of-IDEALS-216821720"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#33CCFF;">Book of Ideals</span></a>, the artwork that I made for Ideals, the four-piece-band from London, UK. Got a DD means that everyone who visit the site most likely will see your work. That means more views, more comments and more favorites.</div><div>On the artist's description in my submission, I have put the link to <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VRZWDE5KBWs"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#33CCFF;">Ideals' Significant Other video on YouTube</span></a>. Hopefully the more people see my deviation, the more people will see the video too. And I hope some of them will like their music and find out more about them.</div><div>I checked the video out again yesterday and as long as I remember, it had 8,900-ish hits. I forgot the exact number of views. Then, I checked it out again just now and it has 9,099 views! More than 100 views in a day is not bad, isn't it? Hopefully my artwork helps the raise of number of people who watch the video. Mmm... Okay, I actually not 100% sure about it... maybe the video is more famous than that and get more than 100 views a day...? Who knows? Maybe it has nothing to do with me.</div><div><br /></div><div>Because of the DD, I got tons of comments on this work. One of them has become my favorite. Here is the <a href="http://comments.deviantart.com/1/216821720/2386402589"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#33CCFF;">link</span></a>.

No no no... It is not any kind of marketing for the band. I said to him that I made it simply because I love their music. That's all. As simple as that. I made it with all my heart and patience. It was my first papercutting ever. I made several mistakes, but it turned out that I can finish it (almost) perfectly.</div><div>Back to the comment. Daniel said I just earned a ton of free publicity with this DD and he's gonna check Ideals out. Another guy on the comment said that the band must be very happy to have a friend like me. Well, guys... thank you so much for your comments. I don't know how they feel. I don't know whether my work gave them ton of free publicity. They must be still great without me. I also don't know if they are happy to have a fan and friend (If they consider me a friend) like me. Let them decide...</div><div><br /></div><div>After I knew that I got this work featured, I instantly told them on twitter. There is no reply. That's okay. Maybe they haven't checked their twitter since it seems that they are only active on Facebook. And currently, my Facebook account is being deactivated. So, hours later, I texted one of the band member (I won't mention which member as I am afraid my word will cause any misunderstanding about something or anything... or whatsoever). I told him about this DD. Told him about the link to their video as well. And told him that I have posted the link on my twitter. Mmm... There is still no reply. That's okay. Maybe he hasn't checked his phone or maybe his phone is lost or maybe something happened that make him not able to see the message. </div><div><br /></div><div>So... It seems that the band don't care about anything I said about my work. Or maybe they don't get my message. Or... I just don't have idea what is really happened. The most important thing to me is... I sincerely made this work for them. I even gave the original work to them. I love their music always and happy to be able to know them. This DD actually makes more people see my art. I am grateful for that. Maybe I just got too excited if I have any news related to Ideals. And maybe I should stop being too excited. Well... I don't know. I have no idea what to do next.</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>PS: If there is anyone who reads this blog entry become misunderstand or misinterpret or misconception or mis-whatever, I am sorry. I have tried my best to write it as normal as possible so there will be no misleading into any different topic, such as—I don't know—err... relationship maybe.... Who knows...?</div><div><br /></div><div><b>EDITED</b></div><div>I posted about Book of Ideals got DD on <a href="http://tessafebiani.tumblr.com/post/16626914600/my-work-book-of-ideals-got-daily-deviation-today"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#33CCFF;">my tumblr</span></a>.

We were really grateful for this day because the wonderful Bombay Bicycle Club was going to perform tonight at Fairgrounds (ex Bengkel Night Park). They were coming to Indonesia on the event called The People's Party, promoted by Shoundshine. Bombay Bicycle Club was not the only band that performed that night. We also have The Jezabels (Australia), The Naked and Famous (New Zealand) and Metronomy (UK). Not to mention the opening act by local band called Roman Foot Soldiers. But on this blog, I will concentrate on writing about Bombay Bicycle Club's performance since they are my favourite and they are the reason I came to this event. :)<div><br /></div><div>The People's Party started at 7 pm sharp and Roman Foot Soldiers opened this event smoothly. This was the first time I heard their songs and I think they're good. The venue was still pretty empty when they performed, but we did enjoy the show. After RFS done with their job, it's time for The Jezabels to go on stage. These two bands weren't play a lot of songs, I guess. Their each performance took less than an hour.</div><div><br /></div><div>And here we come! It's the performance I had been waiting for. Bombay Bicycle Club's crews were on the stage, preparing all the stuff for the band, including Louis Bhose. I love his band, Theme Park and I'm actually wondering how they're gonna touring when Louis is with BBC.</div><div><br /></div><div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3hL22HWANezZ5zzTYkXaQdMNqMz1dbjgLwHPKSirzkDWJ8EJAmwnoMHw88Ad0fmI5MuNAevK8J_6giqKINEaXnt2PE6J806StQgybOegJ8nM4uy_Csq2eJd9tMX51tdiviGU8GOvaX2Ji/s320/P1130714.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5698226585657101266" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px; " /></span></div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i>Bombay Bicycle Club</i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div>The crowds were going crazy as they heard Shuffle intro. Suren de Saram, Ed Nash, Jamie MacColl and Jack Steadman went on the stage to start the show. Without any further pause, they continued with Your Eyes—another song from their latest and third album A Different Kind of Fix. They were also performed their songs from the first and second albums—I Had the Blues But I Shook Them Loose and Flaws—such as Dust on the Ground, Evening/Morning and Ivy & Gold.</div><div><br /></div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrHFjtU1J709UNvIZSNdkpH9lZ4GsmG3tWu9gZNv7uEJkuQM8mFGGTPne0TUfD-ZHNzZJPmOJ4Sfucka9x3cQHFis2mkxQjmMTcocgdnDcdijLkkkHROx23xGZhfdPFrucirRPmbdACJ_a/s1600/P1130298.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrHFjtU1J709UNvIZSNdkpH9lZ4GsmG3tWu9gZNv7uEJkuQM8mFGGTPne0TUfD-ZHNzZJPmOJ4Sfucka9x3cQHFis2mkxQjmMTcocgdnDcdijLkkkHROx23xGZhfdPFrucirRPmbdACJ_a/s320/P1130298.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5698233208198935906" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px; " /></a><i><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: normal; "><i>Jack Steadman</i></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: normal; "><i><br /></i></span></div></i><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIzwtls-KpC1vtpioCUgvoP6PgJ3pIT6BDdnVzABD8AbeM6MV5imELAmnDJ4ZwluBFVSkj9OQJlmP6fLHdYKCiDy7XrlfQklX1FwBGxU5Yta0AAjICcCp294Vr_8vgw77TbbeQcfwYlUmI/s1600/P1130596.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIzwtls-KpC1vtpioCUgvoP6PgJ3pIT6BDdnVzABD8AbeM6MV5imELAmnDJ4ZwluBFVSkj9OQJlmP6fLHdYKCiDy7XrlfQklX1FwBGxU5Yta0AAjICcCp294Vr_8vgw77TbbeQcfwYlUmI/s320/P1130596.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5698233100583456722" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px; " /></a><div style="text-align: center;"><i>Ed Nash</i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i><br /></i></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTUVmY3WK5gFuDrkCTDGQIG9UAZ6ve8ou54pbkqRn7s-fbygmgEWBkU8gPSNmPt8NERXzxB2e2rHmRfuZiHGVn9qdUDHU_7XfoVLjmpA7eDTDGi8-kSaNXQZD2bnXjDm2b6QdAkpdrIdlA/s1600/P1130660.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTUVmY3WK5gFuDrkCTDGQIG9UAZ6ve8ou54pbkqRn7s-fbygmgEWBkU8gPSNmPt8NERXzxB2e2rHmRfuZiHGVn9qdUDHU_7XfoVLjmpA7eDTDGi8-kSaNXQZD2bnXjDm2b6QdAkpdrIdlA/s320/P1130660.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5698232937446261970" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px; " /></a><div style="text-align: center;"><i>Jamie MacColl</i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i><br /></i></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgioFeu2GyxUwDzfywA5wqwpVBFDGP31754Ys5zHC9SdEf2ndwfD6CZ4rZHUl0R68fQyC-vpspX1aAZDtFhn0YCLK3FH6xOZtICspluo6GmLO0ZtqLQ677PsDIz2HgPlGtrV00YqHBEe8vy/s1600/P1130559.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgioFeu2GyxUwDzfywA5wqwpVBFDGP31754Ys5zHC9SdEf2ndwfD6CZ4rZHUl0R68fQyC-vpspX1aAZDtFhn0YCLK3FH6xOZtICspluo6GmLO0ZtqLQ677PsDIz2HgPlGtrV00YqHBEe8vy/s320/P1130559.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5698232811048795138" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px; " /></a><div style="text-align: center;"><i>Suren de Saram</i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i><br /></i></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsRR_o9xnaon_BH5Q22KNVmQ-LVBGtK7LjBkpQBE-gM8H6aKNyKRgJNgKoXQ-fqngbLtJZZdCBSaqAGNj1Z_T1ooxL8OrLATUJqIC0yeRyerjQ0g3hMHtR0w4FVBGOGMAMVuTi-wB8GqFk/s1600/P1130312.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsRR_o9xnaon_BH5Q22KNVmQ-LVBGtK7LjBkpQBE-gM8H6aKNyKRgJNgKoXQ-fqngbLtJZZdCBSaqAGNj1Z_T1ooxL8OrLATUJqIC0yeRyerjQ0g3hMHtR0w4FVBGOGMAMVuTi-wB8GqFk/s320/P1130312.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5698232683522208018" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px; " /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i>Jack Steadman (again...)</i></div><div><br /></div><div>This four-piece-band kept making the audiences satisfied with their energetic performance as they sang Magnet and What You Want. The crowds—mostly girls—sang along the band perfectly. The night was getting hotter and the screams were getting louder when the band performed Lights Out, Words Gone which made all the people in the venue started to dance. (Personally, I think it would be perfect if Lucy Rose was here and sang her part of the song.) It reached the climax when Bombay Bicycle Club performed Always Like This, which had been shouted by the fans since the middle of the gig. All the audiences seemed to remember all the lyrics of this song, even Jack Steadman gave them chance to sing the part of this song loudly. After singing 13 songs, Bombay Bicycle Club closed the show with their last songs, What If. There's no encore in this show even tough all of us still wanted them to perform more and more songs. </div><div><br /></div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyYEPi-BFD2c0AxhHxdAjx6apKCQli-yW_Xqt74puVkkmYynR726QG-SrLLlSZnIJX9PpohG75op8zNXen1SareFULSaLhmiUYuo6qFV7Vf8Y2ZJwJn96TpVR3CuNZ_iJXEnhzxkjA386Q/s1600/P1130404.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyYEPi-BFD2c0AxhHxdAjx6apKCQli-yW_Xqt74puVkkmYynR726QG-SrLLlSZnIJX9PpohG75op8zNXen1SareFULSaLhmiUYuo6qFV7Vf8Y2ZJwJn96TpVR3CuNZ_iJXEnhzxkjA386Q/s320/P1130404.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5698236264295326882" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px; " /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i>Jack Steadman (again and again...)</i></div><div><br /></div><div>Setlist:</div><div>1.

He's the one and only Captain Han Solo—Star Wars unleashed series produced by Hasbro on 2003. I got this half-witted-scruffy-looking nerf herder action figure on the toysfair held on Dec 4th, 2011 at Blok M Plasa Jakarta. I bought this from a toys collector guy named Giri who sells some of his collections for IDR 350K. He also sold other Star Wars Unleashed series, such as Darth Maul, Darth Vader, Han Solo in trooper costume, Han Solo's hairy bestfriend—Chewbacca, Anakin Skywalker and... mmm I forgot the rest. Sorry. I was interested with Darth Maul figure as well, but I decided not to but it yet because I still have so many things I have to buy for Christmas. So I came home with Han Solo in my bag. </div></div><div><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: center; "><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgY8MB_SxFs7lvhG_nR1626scT0OOCrIyv8B-2dE4btLKZQBarI80NWdcqs9ZYxUvjGRo8rR7jQ_y8QTtGPNokuMlaiu8WbuNfQcxOSgukHGOb104p7hQwCzbrNOFovcLfulJvSmbVBJI6M/s1600/PC050067.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgY8MB_SxFs7lvhG_nR1626scT0OOCrIyv8B-2dE4btLKZQBarI80NWdcqs9ZYxUvjGRo8rR7jQ_y8QTtGPNokuMlaiu8WbuNfQcxOSgukHGOb104p7hQwCzbrNOFovcLfulJvSmbVBJI6M/s320/PC050067.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5685976826500618274" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px; " /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjITjPTc9Ru0xEiUhSWgyCbhf3mR9-hEA0DgWQ6UlNuQ67R-RKiHQ9HIzyIxBWDcRAx2tPqFUAK9yi2GAs9lIkLAVeagVha_EBsnVdOKCRwdTqdnW4DANBCkblqXtZr6N_CVJ3cshrzocLb/s1600/PC050071.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjITjPTc9Ru0xEiUhSWgyCbhf3mR9-hEA0DgWQ6UlNuQ67R-RKiHQ9HIzyIxBWDcRAx2tPqFUAK9yi2GAs9lIkLAVeagVha_EBsnVdOKCRwdTqdnW4DANBCkblqXtZr6N_CVJ3cshrzocLb/s320/PC050071.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5685976623831163778" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px; " /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRvHuWIxkZggU8N23p50vVsXqW3bPxIEX3kSM1WEnD8midpQhFbf1JuC50e1dROKsqrWrrjUQ3mT34nGCNooUi4IxH5G9SLJHPRMKuwAzSREOSAFw7MCyVJFjVPp5ewTBDOEcl2D3ax80k/s1600/PC050085.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRvHuWIxkZggU8N23p50vVsXqW3bPxIEX3kSM1WEnD8midpQhFbf1JuC50e1dROKsqrWrrjUQ3mT34nGCNooUi4IxH5G9SLJHPRMKuwAzSREOSAFw7MCyVJFjVPp5ewTBDOEcl2D3ax80k/s320/PC050085.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5685976507563993954" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px; " /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPt9rQgLQkfrTSPeDS4dv4CbdL5dc60TJqLQXBDw8RfCQ42ZSH8DNOACl7HLZCqxmR5ErTEaoXucP7k4EHIbe4wr-I4VP1-bntZXflw7JQYmbMF85Cg9Ow6s2AmiLx2sZEOOIaALaevRJm/s1600/PC050089.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPt9rQgLQkfrTSPeDS4dv4CbdL5dc60TJqLQXBDw8RfCQ42ZSH8DNOACl7HLZCqxmR5ErTEaoXucP7k4EHIbe4wr-I4VP1-bntZXflw7JQYmbMF85Cg9Ow6s2AmiLx2sZEOOIaALaevRJm/s320/PC050089.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5685976394315754274" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px; " /></a></div></div><div><br /></div><div>Apparently, I'm still thinking about Darth Maul figure I want.

Hall), blood spatter analyst of Miami Police Department who's also a serial killer at night—has reached its sixth season. Personally, Dexter is one of a few of series I am still watching every week now, beside The Walking Dead and The Big Bang Theory. Aired every Sunday evening on Showtime, this series has become a TV show that I always look forward to watch on Monday night (thanks to the time differences). I have been falling in love with Dexter since I watched the first season years ago. It is interesting how a character that is supposed to be an antagonist, someone who is usually being hated, has taken lots of attentions and become a person that is loved by many people and being called "America's Favorite Serial Killer". </div></div></div><div><br /></div><div>I usually searched for a trailer of the forthcoming season of Dexter a few weeks before it started. I did the same thing with the sixth season. From the trailer I saw on youtube, I know that this season, Dexter will involve a lot of religious elements—which is Christian of course—in their stories. Some people worried whether this theme will ruin the story and its strong-builded-characters. I felt the same way with them (ish). I always feel that religion is a sensitive topic to talk about (thanks to my culture) and we shouldn't mix it with secular thing or un-religious stuff. Beside, I wondered what will happen to Dexter and religion. Will he become a religious person?? Will he stop killing people and confess his sins? Well, please don't get me wrong. It doesn't mean that I agree with what Dexter do. It's just a movie. A fictional stories. If the stories happen in real life, of course I would be very happy if he stop killing people. So... I am actually looking forward to see what will happen in the end of this series.</div><div><br /></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuJinaprraj9XimBPWQuk-TDGB6R36avoFIPKMKBkwvbsGgvLevVmCmST7nFnlYo0wq1n16TgPce-Qea9e-v0kL_K5xLlyyM28qm1xhn-q5oFKRFHK6sdHoM35ZV3tjpAxYVGBMrOT8ThM/s320/dexter-season-6-episode-3-10172011-04.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5677845335824817154" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 212px; " /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i>Travis Marshall and Professor Gellar</i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><br /></span></div><div>Unt<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">il today, Dexter sixth season has already aired eight episodes, started on October 2nd until the latest episode on November 20th. This season's main antagonist is a charismatic professor 0f religious studies named Professor Gellar (Edward James Olmos)</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" line-height: 19px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"> </span></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">who killed people based on Biblical scene. He gets a help from his former student, Travis Marshall (which is played brilliantly by Colin Hanks). They do the killing with reference from Book of Revelation. They leave signs of Apocalypse on their victims and crime scene, such as Alpha Omega signs, Four Horsemen and Whore of Babylon. </span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">(note: I could write and interpret better about this sign of Apocalypse if only I understand Bible very well. It appears that I am not a good Christian.)</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">This season also features an important character named Brother Sam (Mos Def), even though he only shows up in six episodes. Brother Sam is an ex murderer and drug addict who has turned into a good path and become a minister. He has an auto shop and helps other ex drug addict or gang member by giving them job, shelter and better life. Dexter becomes close with Brother Sam and he is often told that he still has "light" in him. Brother Sam says that he knows the darkness inside Dexter, sees the light in him and tells him to let the darkness go. I am not sure if Brother Sam's words work on Dexter, but in this season Dexter lets his prey (Travis) go—which never happened before. He even pray (sort of) when his son, Harrison, is in hospital. Wow. Never thought this could happen to Dexter. </span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">Another notable stories in this season are Debra's (Jennifer Carpenter) promotion on becoming a Lieutenant which is misunderstood as the reason why she rejected Quinn's (Desmond Harrington) proposal, La Guerta (Lauren V elez) who is now become a captain (which makes her more annoying), Masuka's (C. S. Lee) intern students and appearance of the new detective named Mike Anderson (Billy Brown).</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">I realized that Dexter has become more human since the fifth season after Rita's (Julie Benz) death, followed by his relationship with Lumen (Julia Stiles). I think this is the first time Dexter revealed his true self to someone other than his father. On sixth season, Dexter shows that he has love in him. He really shows it toward his son, Harrison. He worries about what Harrison will be when he knows that Jonah Mitchell—who is the son of Arthur Mitchell, the Trinity Killer—killed his mother and sister (revealed that she committed a suicide later).</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">In my opinion, Dexter sixth season is not the most interesting part of the whole seasons. The first one still become my favourite until now, followed by the forth. This season doesn't give me a thrill like the previous ones. But, I am still interested in watching it and looking forward what will happen afterward. Will Dexter repent of everything he has done? Will it be the end of this series?

I am a fan of Luke Skywalker since the first time I watched Star Wars. I really want to have it, even though I already have Luke Skywalker action figure with the same outfit! Bespin. But it's Kotobukiya version. I know that Hot Toys' products are better than Kotobukiya's, but the prices are also way more expensive. I've been falling in love with Hot Toys' sixth scale collectibles since a long time ago, but I can't afford it. I really want to have Joker (Dark Knight version) and Jack Sparrow, but they are too expensive. Hopefully I can have Luke Skywalker figure next year.</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjw8TmludqLF8Yq3NCLou3CtamxviFTZJhl0D4sbc9t7HXWGyFs734pqFkE2Gp7yBpbnW9hi-jR5MOkbeyvmdn9OQh_edzLSugUkWustxvzu-ATvFzYoptTvKkfD068DyvEzUo9jwb79doh/s320/314374_10150365163032344_58690437343_8529518_31716006_n.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5676311728806303922" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 215px; height: 320px; " /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIUtOWTZKbMPyNzqVfgSdPOH5lMCW3Z1Gt7fKKAETtMokESivfPRnwfJbtBWsDB2CSN_JOarIyyk2a-3M4FOP21o5SBBgH85BlVVv_ggHaqAZqSRAFwvCDXytt7olWWx6q1WZhxYZIZybU/s320/311920_10150365163312344_58690437343_8529520_1253311747_n.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5676313301888838690" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 215px; height: 320px; " /></span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><i>Luke, I am your father.</i></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><i>NNNOOOOOOOOOOOOO....!!!</i></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Tessa </span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">x</span></span></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3827203368746596743.post-15080928954443941122011-11-18T05:34:00.006+07:002011-11-18T09:31:47.890+07:00They are in a Better Hand Now<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEieQIwSM_on59SPvkdw9FfdZgHVSiC-u49tiAAlq6OlZoa184HIt2IC2H-0ndMNljz3nSrjQ7EKo7tA6ze0J2KxvA9N-HQyncl4_tJIhr8j486JgOlnzu8eD0KJVvBaAEYTOVtDvGfEQdMV/s1600/PB090162upload.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEieQIwSM_on59SPvkdw9FfdZgHVSiC-u49tiAAlq6OlZoa184HIt2IC2H-0ndMNljz3nSrjQ7EKo7tA6ze0J2KxvA9N-HQyncl4_tJIhr8j486JgOlnzu8eD0KJVvBaAEYTOVtDvGfEQdMV/s320/PB090162upload.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5676102037339645314" border="0" /></a><i><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: normal;"><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">Goodbye!</span></i></span></div></i><div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div>I am saying goodbye to these works.

I actually do not read the comic, but I watch the series from the first episode until the latest episode–season 2 episode 5—which was aired on November 13, 2011. Honestly, I was a bit shocked when I first watched it. Dead men (called walkers in this series) walking, drooling, chasing people in order to eat them—those are something I (of course) do not see in my daily life. But then I slowly got "adapted" with all the walkers-eating-human-flesh or walkers-got-stabbed-or-shot-in-the-head scenes. Even I got really interested in one of the characters in The Walking Dead. He is a survivalist with top skills in hunting, killing zombies, tracking, surviving in woods and using his crossbow (a very effective and quiet weapon to kill that won't attract other zombies. Not to mention he can reuse his arrows to kill another zombies. Well, we have to support a reuse and recycle thingy these days, right?). He is.... Daryl Dixon...!!<div><br /></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5Z0ZpLuVHZXu_h8gFIJQyNSyo2U6DQ7xgyyuJ5RLZ2-RhacY9GJCvHECkj8UzkYeQ9msa5ILbbMmyAHsIkX2bDjriVMlvbI6izvRdlD40aZsy0oRhP6K9tUgMsbBimCOBEKfFprzVdZTv/s320/10_TWD2_GAL_Daryl_Portrait_035.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5676018042538493762" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 214px; height: 320px; " /></span><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhB_e402AxfDyn-9YG8Px0Fyt6Cr0mLJCIzJCBu0_Kp5b1N3wNDBX2voH348WMwmCM9vSw79xD4HY6XmYNas8JCCEGMZcYUjA-WMtKYifc4rCeaKC1JmvAd8zv7epOpN-dC3zKHN63yn-bc/s1600/norman.reedus.jpeg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhB_e402AxfDyn-9YG8Px0Fyt6Cr0mLJCIzJCBu0_Kp5b1N3wNDBX2voH348WMwmCM9vSw79xD4HY6XmYNas8JCCEGMZcYUjA-WMtKYifc4rCeaKC1JmvAd8zv7epOpN-dC3zKHN63yn-bc/s320/norman.reedus.jpeg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5676016832387929778" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 240px; " /></a><div style="text-align: center;"><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">Daryl Dixon</span></i></div><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibuBuiya__Q0otHqPp5gu_ky74NOvtVIkpw9Th7gjtfMBHcAXgWZufDWwu1px7YJJtHiypI_QQFM2s9k2m4ZTiv6sxJmtgaDToNDW7d0dNgeZNE4zp7WdnQZws1LVPcqIp7qrjgoWYifhN/s1600/Walking_Dead_S2_Poster.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"></a></span></i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">I was gonna search The Walking Dead comic, but I read on the internet that Daryl is not on the actual comic.

I saw the picture and I want it. The face of the figure quite represents Norman Reedus (cast of Daryl Dixon), even though the joints on his arms are not too smooth. Or maybe because he's wearing sleeveless shirt that show the connecting parts on his arms. Well, it doesn't really matter for me. I still want this action figure...

It's Luke Skywalker, The Empire Strikes Back version, manufactured by Kotobukiya on 2006 for CHEAP PRICE! Got it for only 450K. It actually cost 900K, but I got 50% off from the store. </div><div><br /></div><div>I saw this figure at Multi toyshop, Margo City Depok last Saturday. I went to the store with my friend who loves toys as well. I was soooo temped to buy this Luke Skywalker figure, but I tried not to instantly buy it because I want to check the price first on the internet. I remember that I saw the exact same figure on Facebook few days ago. Someone sells it, but unfortunately I forgot the price. So, I came home without it. But I didn't come home empty handed though. I bought a cheap figure of Chopper from One Piece and Master Yoda from Star Wars.</div><div><br /></div><div>Soon after I got home, I opened my laptop and googled the figure on the internet. It appeared that this figure was set for a quite high price. It's 1,000K!! Then, I searched it on international online store and it cost at least about 40$ on ebay. I think the official price was 99.99$ but it was no longer produced. Furthermore, I prefer to but it on local toyshop or local online store than buying it on international online store. Eventhough it cost cheaper, about 40$, but I have to think about the shipping fee as well. Not to mention, I have to deal with custom that sometime can be so annoying and I must have the patient too since it takes times to ship it. So, that night I felt 'galau'. Should I buy it or not....</div><div><br /></div><div>Sunday morning came and I still didn't have the decision yet. After texted my friend and spent some times to think about it, I decided to buy it! I don't wanna feel the regret I have when I missed the Star Wars unleashed: Luke Skywalker X Wing pilot on Jakarta toys fair few week ago. (I found a booth who sold it, but I didn't buy it. I'm still thinking about it until now). So I got my ass back to the toyshop on the afternoon and bought it right away. Phew! Lucky it was still there. </div><div><br /></div><div>... and I have no regret at all spending my money on it :)</div></div><div><br /></div><div>Tessa</div><div>x</div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3827203368746596743.post-35497235344705569172011-10-14T23:50:00.002+07:002011-11-17T23:04:48.827+07:00Sweet....I will send him my painting and he will send me his drumsticks.<div>We both are excited for it.</div><div><br /></div><div>Isn't it sweet?

I've been a music fan since a long time ago and been a concert go-ers right after I can earn my own money. I listen to some music genres, from pop, rock, japanese-rock, electronic, and indie music. The latest band I found very interesting was IDEALS. They are four-piece-London-based-indie-band who're formed on 2010. I knew about them from my best mate, Sindi, who lives in Sweden now. She gave me the link to their video, <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=29v-pgd7O3w">Lungs</a> and I was instantly falling in love with them. Not too long after that, they released their video, <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VRZWDE5KBWs">Significant Other</a>. This video definitely made me a huge fan of them. It is still become my favorite video of them until now.<div><br /></div><div>Significant Other was the trigger for me to make arts for them. It was started by making <a href="http://tessafebiani.blogspot.com/2011/07/portrait-of-ben-ward-from-ideals.html">Ben Ward portrait painting</a>. (Ben is my favorite member of the band.) I had no intention at all when I made it. It was simply because I am a portrait painter and I've done some artists and musicians painting before. I was trying to find a way to show it to them, even though I didn't know their email before. I only knew their Facebook page, but I didn't wanna post it publicly. It was such a coincidence that I also bought their digital download at that time. In fact, the person who's sending me the mp3 file after buying it was the band manager. Wow. I had a tiny question about the download, so I sent him an email. I didn't wanna waste my opportunity and I asked him the band's email. I said that I had a little gift for Ben. Carl, the manager, gave me their email address and I straightly sent my painting to their email. Their response was beyond expectation, especially Ben himself. He was happy and that made me happy :)</div><div><br /></div><div>It seemed that making one portrait painting is just not enough. I continued making fanart for the band, not only Ben. You can see the 'Book of IDEALS', piece of paper-art I made for the band <a href="http://tessafebiani.blogspot.com/2011/07/book-of-ideals.html">here</a>. They were so grateful for it and I'm flattered. Soon after that, I become friend with them. (Well, I mostly contact and talk to Ben. It appears that we share same obsessions toward Star Wars. Hahaha.) I also made poster for their gig in <a href="http://tessafebiani.blogspot.com/2011/08/ideals-gig-poster.html">Ipswich</a>. And I made a special present for Ben on his 21st birthday. It's the <a href="http://tessafebiani.blogspot.com/2011/08/happy-birthday-ben.html">3D model of him</a>.</div><div><br /></div><div>Now I am waiting for the package they send to me. It contains of their first EP CD that I missed (I only have the digital download), printed poster that I made, Ben's drumstick and Andrew's plectrum. So very excited!</div><div><br /></div><div>Their second EP, Let Your Anger Leave You, will be released on November. You can buy the limited 12" vinyl <a href="http://store.intruderlabel.com/product/ideals-let-your-anger-leave-you-ep-limited-ed-12-vinyl">here</a>. I was so lucky that I had a chance to listen to 4 (out of 6) songs that will be on this EP and trust me.... they are amazing. You won't regret buying it. Here's the promo for one of the songs from this EP, <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zPgHrHLz7lY">Altar</a>.</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Tessa</div><div>x</div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3827203368746596743.post-2089046747125868212011-10-06T18:03:00.013+07:002011-11-17T23:16:11.954+07:00The New Ideals<div style="text-align: left;">Two days ago, my favorite London-based indie band announced the change of their member on their <a href="http://www.facebook.com/idealstheband">Facebook page</a>. Yes, it is about IDEALS, the band that is definitely have my 100% of support. They posted about the sad news on around 6 pm UK time and uploaded their new pic with the new guitarist as well. Here it is...</div><div><br /><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3UB9M8fINbJ_MZNu_EXInj3gLPzoxmzbuQQ0l6u5r8hcyv-iRkqjcVyfjnoK9zPm-nK9xX7n3kWKxfHfXFQG6FGw2fiksrMg_e7wSwzuUsPdp0E_CD1sR8ikTzAJFKqhAgeTcAkJ2WFNX/s320/329066_10150337254999133_234550294132_7733266_813030488_o.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5660338698696764290" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px; " /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">From left to right: Simon Wilson (bass), Benjamin Ward (drums), Andrew Major (vocal + guitar), Ben Smith (guitar)</span></div><div><br /></div><div>Ben Smith is the new guitarist. As far as I concerned, Ben Smith is Ideals' third guitarist after their first guitarist, Matthew Bunkell and their second one, Johnny Healey left the band. Personally, I was so sad when I first heard about Johnny's leaving. I like Johnny. I like his guitar playing as well. I had a chance to speak to him on Facebook chat and based on his words and his way of speaking, I think he's a nice person. I just hope this is the best decision for him. Good luck on whatever you do, Johnny!</div><div>I got this sad news from Ben (by Ben, I mean Ben Ward, the drummer, whose name is now extended to Benjamin Ward, according the member info on Ideals' Facebook page). Well, actually I asked him first about this news and he confirmed it. But I just kept that in my mind. I didn't tell any soul about it since I have no right to say anything about their internal news. I just wait until they finally revealed their new formation.</div><div><br /></div><div>After this bad news, Ideals gave us a good news. This wonderful blog, <a href="http://londontheinside.blogspot.com/">LONDONTHEINSIDE...</a>, has chosen them as the band of the month.

While making this painting, I have scanned some of the processes in order to make a step by step explanation of it. Here you go…</p> <p>1. Sketch</p> <p style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lrm75kzS1i1qioo82.jpg" /></p> <p>First step is making the sketch. Actually I didn’t plan to make this painting at all. I was just browsed too much about Star Wars on last Wednesday regarding their blu ray release. I love Star Wars. And I just realized that I never made a fan art of it. Not at all. Wondered why. So there I was… Sitting in front of my laptop which was displaying Luke Skywalker picture. I took my paper and B pencil (yeah, I always draw a sketch with B pencil. Never use 2B.) and I ended up with this drawing. It’s a small drawing. Only on A6 paper.</p><p><br /></p> <p>2. Prepare all you need</p> <p style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lrm8j3Pq7D1qioo82.jpg" /></p> <p>My weapoonnnns! Yes, they are things I need in this painting. The sketch, B pencil, eraser, watercolor paint (mostly Cotman, since my fav watercolor brand, Sakura transparent watercolor is no longer produced here), white gouache, fine round brushes and watercolor postcard! I totally forgot that I have this blank postcard. I bought it two years ago when I was in London at an art supply store near Leicester Square… I guess. I forgot the exact location. (And yes, it was discounted. Haha. Cheap. I got the paint set at the same store and of course it was also discounted.) </p> <p>Not to mention you will need lightbox/tracing desk and scanner as well.</p><p><br /></p> <p>3. Tracing</p> <p style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lrm7w5H5XU1qioo82.jpg" /></p> <p>And now it’s time to get your lightbox! or tracing desk or whatever you call the things that allows you to trace your own drawing. It’s the easiest part of the whole process. Everyone can do it. I just need to trace my sketch into the postcard and add the STAR WARS letter.</p><p><br /></p> <p>4. Now, let’s start painting!</p> <p>Everyone has different color palette and here is mine. The paints that I used for this painting. </p> <p style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lrm9eg4rIM1qioo82.jpg" /></p> <p>Naples Yellow Red (first time I use it. Usually pale orange), yellow ochre, burnt sienna, vandyke brown (my fav paint color), sepia, indigo, alizarin crimson hue (or red!) and of course white.</p><p><br /></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lrma0eXJHe1qioo82.jpg" /></p> <p>Okaaaay. Let’s start with the face. Actually it would be better if you start with the background first, but I was too excited to paint Luke’s face. So… don’t worry. Start wherever you like. </p> <p>Apply the white paint on his face, followed by naples yellow red before the white one get dried. Wet on wet painting is the technique I used every time I’m too lazy to mix the color on palette. So, I just mix them right on the painting. Haha. (Seriously, don’t follow this tips. Not good.) Now, let them dry.</p><p><br /></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lrmabjJzfo1qioo82.jpg" /></p> <p>Then, I grabbed my yellow ochre paint and start to paint the shadow on his face, around his eyes, nose, lips, everywhere that is darker. (Don’t worry about how it looked on this step. I know the pic above looks horrible.) I also applied blue paint on his eyes and a slight red on his lips. </p> <p><strong>Important tips:</strong> It is much much much better to apply the paint over and over again in layers than apply the thick and bold paint in only one layer. You will get a brilliant color if you do the painting in layers. It needs patience and time, but trust me… it’s worth it.</p><p><br /></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lrmalyvb0c1qioo82.jpg" /></p> <p>Like I said in the previous step, don’t get lazy to repeat the process until you get the color you desire. I still use the same colors (naples yellow red, yellow ochre and vandyke brown) for his face.<br /></p><p><br /></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lrmaqooxUh1qioo82.jpg" /></p> <p>And now his face is getting better! I put the basic paint on his hair, which is yellow ochre and move on to the background. I just mix the indigo paint and yellow ochre plus water here and there. Control the thickness with the amount of water you mix with the paint.</p><p><br /></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lrmaz08XEF1qioo82.jpg" /></p> <p>After his face is getting better, let’s fix the hair. I used burnt sienna after the yellow ochre. The STAR WARS letter became yellow-ish because I put masking fluid on it. Masking fluid is used to cover the are that you don’t want to paint. Let the masking fluid dry, apply the paint, and the masked area will be save. After it’s done, you just simply remove the dried-masking-fluid with your eraser. I applied the masking fluid on the letters because I was gonna paint the cloth on the next step.</p> <p>Masking fluid makes my life easier….</p><p><br /></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lrmb7pzZSu1qioo82.jpg" /></p> <p>Next, I colored the cloth with white and sepia. On the pic above, I’ve already removed the masking fluid. You can see that the letter remained clean. No paint can touch them. :D</p> <p>I paint the hair as well. Put more dark shadow on it with vandyke brown and sepia paint.</p><p><br /></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lrmbcksDAx1qioo82.jpg" /></p> <p>Yes, it’s finishing time! Work on the light and dark shadow here and there. I always LOVE to apply white gouache to create light area on face. It will make the face a lil bit like shinning. haha.</p> <p>And don’t forget to paint the letters.</p><p><br /></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lrmbiewdqJ1qioo82.jpg" /></p> <p>And…. Voila! The painting is done.</p><p><br /></p> <p>Time taken: 5 hours in total or could be less. I also chatted online with my friend during this painting. He loves Star Wars too :’)</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p> <p>Tessa</p><p>x<br /></p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0
