Awesome! Another Jay lover. ;D Hahah! I've been missing your art as well. Must check out your gallery to see what you've updated. XP I guess we've all been a bit inactive in terms of drawing. Life sure takes its hold on us. Hope you're doing alright btw? XD

I've been gone too long. Too many changes on here. .--.

About your Jay drawing, the left eye - brilliant. My mouth dropped.
And his left ear ....... I really like that ear.
*creeper*

But yes, I`ve been alright. Well, kinda. I mean, I`ve had some GREAT days, but the majority ... Not so much x.x Never-ending roller coaster, kinda tiring :/

lOLOL. Oh gawd. Thank you thank you. Okay I can thank you xinfinity but you'd be annoyed.

Well, as long as you have some great days to cancel out the bad. Either way, good shit shouldn't come too often or life would seem boring if you know what i mean. It's good when good things happen 'cause it makes your mood soar when they come along ey? *pats* It'll get better.

I sure hope it`ll get better. Convention times are the worst cause there`s SO many things you gotta juggle x.x Once it`s over, I can relax and focus on my studies and do art in spare time.

It's great to see you back! ;D Good luck with the finals, I'm in the middle of mine too.
This work is coming out lovely so far. I really like how you painted the lips, though I'm not sure about the left eye, but that might just be my screen being too bright again. xD Anyway, can't wait to see it finished!

MakaiAsh In reply to crespella [2011-05-16 09:59:23 +0000 UTC]

G'luck to you too! Hope you're doing fine in all your classes? Last night I stayed up till 6 doing work. Tonight I've stayed up to 3 doing more work. Then there's more coming my way so def need all the luck we can get.

Thank you!! Left eye, I did that on purpose. The original ref had his eye hidden and I couldn't see shit 'cause the ref was puny so...I thought of terminator and...that's what happened. LMAO. Maybe I should tone it down?

crespella In reply to MakaiAsh [2011-05-16 11:19:37 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, I'm doing pretty fine, though I've still got five A4 pages of my presentation to memorize, ugh. Nothing too difficult this time, but tiring as hell.
Oh, but you should sleep intead of overworking yourself. You might fry your brain and that just can't be nice. :U

Haha, I see. Perhaps you could leave the red as is and darken the area around it a bit? Or just leave it like this, it doesn't look bad.

MakaiAsh In reply to crespella [2011-05-16 14:54:03 +0000 UTC]

Memorizing? D; You'll be fineeee. I have faith in you. Ahh. Don't kill yourself. Well...I already am, obviously. Just don't be like me! And...procrastination is pretty much deadly during these times.

XP Yeh, I'm already damaging my brain but if I hadn't stayed up, I would not have finished. After all this mulls over, I'll get all my needed sleep just in time for the summer. XD Though classes start again for me during the summer...but hopefully less work intensive.

Alright, I'll darken out the areas more on the left. I go for the whole..black hole. That sounds kinda creepy. Oh wells. XD Thanksss.

Yeaaah, we've got those oral exams and we're supposed to write some sort of essay on a chosen subject and then present it to the comittee. We don't have to memorize it all, but I'm way too scared of forgetting anything, lol. GOOD GRADES, ME WANTS THEM.
Procrastination, huh... shouldn't even start thinking about it, way too tempting. xD

I know what you mean. I used to stay up so late it was actually already "early" when I finished, but not anymore! For I, a biology/chemistry class (I'm not even sure how to translate that anymore, gawd) graduate, have finally realized it was not only tiring, but also less effective than studying when you're not falling asleep. Took three years to get it, though. =____=;
Hope you do get some sleep. And I'm not saying that only because sleeping is my favourite activity, but it really is important. ;D

You could just see if it looks nice, don't change your plans because of my silly remarks. orz

Oh gawd, super late reply. Work load diminished so now I can sit back and reply to all my long messages. Yours being one of them. XP

You'll BE FINE. Gawd, I hate oral exams. D; I hope you get over them. They're so nerve wracking. And yes, don't we all want awesome grades???

Umg, 3 years?? That is hectic shit. But hey, you got it over with...and there's tons more obstacles coming your way. We'll get through this together. ^^

I'm glad you don't stay up anymore. I hate staying up to the point the sun starts rising. -_- My sleeping pattern is soooo wrecked. I sleep during the day time and I'm up at night time. Even my roommates can tell I'm weird this semester 'cause at night 5 in the morning I'm washing my dishes. lMAO.

WELL, I trust your "silly remarks" 'cause I trust you. I admire your work A LOT. Yes, I do. I think you're creative. And as cheesy as it sounds, I think you're AWESOME. And to prove my point, I added you on my fave artist list in my deviant info...and that artist list is extremely small...'cause it's hard to get up there. LMao! So keep on drawing whenever you're stressed, inspired, motivated...just keep on striving for the better. ;]

I absolutely loathe oral exams too. I'd rather have five written exams more than a single oral one, but oh well. Survived the first one, will survive the second one as well (I hope so ._.).

5 in the morning and washing the dishes? Now, that must be a unique scene, haha. ;D

Oh. Wow. Excuse me for a second; asgfsdfgsfgasfgash. I can't really seem to verbalize myself properly at the moment, but it means a lot coming from a great artist like you. ;-;

*tackles* Miss you loads and loads more!!! Hahaha. Funny how we both love that album. It's somehow the most emotional and it just speaks for many occasions no? Though its also one of the albums best not listened(although we do anyways) during heartbreak. Cry buckets just cause it speaks for itself.

Had dinner yet hun?

Ughs, so trueeee. Then again, a lot of his songs are a tad on the sad side. XP But yes, that album sure can bring the tears. .-. BUT LIKE YOU said, can't help but listen to it. Lmao! His latest albums/music SUCKS BALLS.

It's already 10:10PM here so YES, I've had dinner. ;D I had udon. How about you, hope you're eating right?

Hahah yep, had an early lunch xD very very happy~* Had stewed herbal tea pork rib dish. ffufuufuf. His new one was totally rushed. I mean as good as he is, juggling both filming and world tours don't really give him much time to really fine tune his songs. The slow ones are okay, it's pretty him but the fast ones are really... *sigh*

All the albums before november's chopin is hella awesome no doubt Btw, I am happy that you're able to start drawing again. *chus* *pats face* happy smiles yes?

Yay for early lunch...though I did not reply to this until I woke up so it's already late for you. Sounds so good though. *steals* Too bad it already digested in your tummy. XD

OMG yes. Someone agrees his latest stuff was rushed. I like the ballads too but all the faster stuff are basically AUTOTUNEEEE. I couldn't stand it. I mean after a few lessons I stopped caring and learned to just "go with it"...but why Jay why do you have to use autotune?? I mean seriously. It's like making it OBVIOUS he wants to go mainstream. Angers me every time. Capricorn was a nightmare...and On the Run was alright. I liked maybe a good half?? Minus the cowboy theme. Lmao.

Yeh, I agree with the everything before Chopin. Still Fantasy had like maybe two good songs...the rest were boring. LOL. In the end, older Jay stuff is the best. ;D

chibi-chibit In reply to MakaiAsh [2011-05-16 16:38:40 +0000 UTC]

Not just autotune. He was playing with another dialect too. That I don't mind, its pretty cool listening to him talking in... Actually I have no idea which dialect he is speaking in but I know it ain't no cantonese. I'm epic phail. Hahaha.

But yea, It's like from cowboy to capricorn to the era, he's almost as if trying out different techniques? Experimenting even. Like he's throwing them out to see hows our(the fans) reception to it and then once he figures everything out, fine tune all of it, then BAM! We get another round of awesome stuff.

The songs he created for secret was good. Mostly instrumental here and there but the main one was not bad. And like you said, on the run was not bad. It's like 50/50 of the album for me. But hey, he always delivers anyways. If it wasn't for all the current promotion events on the movies, endorsement and idk misc stuff he's doing. I'm sure with enough time, he'll pour it all back to music again

kekekek~* Oh and good morning!! Lol just like old times man. Us and the morning/night hour difference.

MakaiAsh In reply to chibi-chibit [2011-05-16 17:27:54 +0000 UTC]

He was speaking in Taiwanese. I ALSO had that same moment. It sounded almost cantonese but then it suddenly changed and it sounded like some alien talk. I'm like...almoooost understood you there. lMAO.

The prob is his experimenting doesn't seem to turn out that well. LOL. He's one of those guys that seem to do well if he stayed doing "the same" boring shit. BUT it's good for artists to try new things so it's a must. Either way, he's exploring his roots.

Secret is intense. I was looking at the piano scores. SOOO INTENSE and...impossible *for me personally*.

Oh yes, G'MORNING. I'm so out of it right now. What you up to?

chibi-chibit In reply to MakaiAsh [2011-05-16 17:34:55 +0000 UTC]

I didn't even finish Grade 3 of piano. As in playing. Though I did finish grade 5 of the book, but its pretty useless if my playing was still that far behind. Did I ever tell ya that I fell asleep playing once? Lol the music score was the kind that both hands play separately and one you reach the middle of the entire thing, you only then play with both hands. I totally just K.Oed there and my teacher hit my hand T__________T stopped 3 weeks later not cause of her. But I guess I can appreciate music but not play it. Heh.

That's Taiwanese??!?!? O_____O ..... Okay. Must stay watching dramas to teach self how to differentiate. Lool. Ahahha. I hope his next album will live up to the awesomeness of the old ones. The only album I ever bought of his was chopin cause it was good for me. 七里香 was sold out then and I never got time to go and buy it. T________T

I'm actually looking through behance and random design groups for design refs. Got my work rejected by my lecturer again so I need to find something that's more of their taste since they kept saying that my style isn't working for them :/

How about you?

MakaiAsh In reply to chibi-chibit [2011-05-16 17:43:58 +0000 UTC]

It sucks balls on your end when you got to start working FOR them instead of working with what you want. That's how the stupid world works. It's like satisfying the "big" companies instead of going off on our own. It's saddening but reality. YOU CAN DO IT. Stay strong.

I'm not sure if he does Hokkien as well but I know he just knows Mandarin and Taiwanese in a fluent sense. Yeh, I want to start learning piano again but y'know how it is...-maybe we're just made to appreciate music-. LOLLLL.

*nods nods* Either that or our fingers are just not as nimble enough to go all over the keys in the same pace as he did in secret. Crazy stuff really. An old primary school friend of mine played it for me and my friends. Took him about 3 weeks to get it down, but it was still shaky at parts. Lol he kept praising Jay and complaining about how much his hand cramped. Now that is dedication.

*shrugs* I mean it still affects me that the lecturers are aiming so much into the mainstream commercial design thing. You know where everyone must frigging include advertising and marketing schemes into design. But after awhile, I just want to shove it down their throats. Give them what they want and make them just shut up so I can get out of the place already. Lol we're all just aiming to pass, get the certs and figure out whether university is the next best choice or should all of us grads just go work.

Touch choices man. Parents are breathing down my neck too. Since we're 20 and all :/ *hugs*

Thanks the thing about life. People get popular and it's always 'cause of the mainstream ideas. OR someone gets popular and then starts "turning mainstream" 'cause it's just how it is. IT'S SO SAD and some may say...it's inevitable. There's only so much "different" shit you can think up. You think of one thing, someone already thought of it. It's so hard to have originality don't you think?

But BAH your lecturers. Despite how they want you to do this and this and THIS for them, you battle it and DO IT. Then when they ain't looking, you go enjoy your own "wants". There's always a double life in our careers. We'll follow the rules when we're awake...and dream our own artwork when we're asleep. ;] Keep on trucking. Hehe.

*nods nods* So true hun. So effing true. Gah. Often I know it isn't good to look at things through rose tinted glasses, no pun intended. But honestly I wonder whether is it wrong to want to do things, just cause you like it and it makes you feel happy.

Sure most people would say yes, but you get assholes who turn the tables around and shoot you with the all knowing question "Well do you need money? And that to put food on the table and take care of yourself?" Then I feel a part of my creativity die away and that it almost makes the design field sound like some disgusting low level shit. No joke.

And its harder when everyone subliminally hints that the course/design we make are not going to put us far since there are all those others, like you said, done it before and we're no different. Or that they never approved of it in the first place.

I won't lie to you, I did thought majority of my friends supported what I do, but I know that they believe I won't go that far with it. I don't know why but it's just that feeling and that look they give that makes it as if eventually I'll pull out of all of this, smack myself awake to the reality that it won't do me good as compared to all the other fields.

*sigh* I'm sorry I ranted.

You didn't lose this watcher! I like seeing WIPs, it's like they're being formed out of nothing. O.O

I'm not particularly fond of Jay's music, but he does look nice. I always think of the Green Hornet now when I see his name because when the movie first came out and I was listening to a review on the radio the man said, "Now people in America may not be familiar with the supporting actor Jay Chou. . ." And I shouted to mom, "I KNOW WHO THAT IS! I knew he looked familiar in the preview!" I felt so smart in that moment; then when my dad went to see it he felt like he saved the movie because he wouldn't have liked it if he wasn't in it. Why am I telling you this? I need to stop taking late naps, I have waaay too much energy right now.

MakaiAsh In reply to Missvirginia [2011-05-16 05:07:04 +0000 UTC]

Aw, I can understand if you don't feel his music. I personally started drawing again because of his music.
Gave me motivation to get off my lazy ass and do something w/ my life. ;D His older albums are a lot better than his latest stuff. To tell you the truth, his latest stuff SUCKS so bad. I don't even...can't express how bad it is. Lmao. That's what happens when someone tries to go "mainstream".

Anyways, awww you're too cute. Ahaha, both your parents seem like interesting people. XD It's kay, I'm quite hyper myself right now. -.- Energy is good! Thanks for being one of my active watchers! *hugs*

Missvirginia In reply to MakaiAsh [2011-05-16 05:21:06 +0000 UTC]

Ahh, thanks for letting me know. I'll have to check his older albums out then. I've only heard some of his new stuff (and one or two of the songs I see you listening to on last.fm ~_^) Part of the reason why I couldn't get into him because it seemed like it was missing something. Like...it sounded less genuine? You saying he went "mainstream" makes sense then.

Haha, yeah, my parents are one of a kind I think. Our family could probably be a sitcom; we're so weird.

And no problem. I figure people who are seriously good artists want some type of feedback, so I try to pay attention and respond. Plus you're interesting to watch/read/talk to.
