happy lunar new year 2012
ps. thanks nijibug for the awesome hanfu links / pictures!
pps. apologies for the delay.. to anon who asked (probably quite some time ago!), I read somewhere it’s pronounced ‘la-la-guee’ like ‘valerie’ but I’ve only ever seen the name on paper (floating city in Invisble Cities). In my head I always pronounce it with the soft G (‘gee whiz’)

When I tell people that The Ravages of Time is a HK comic loosely based off the Romance of Three Kingdoms I use ‘loosely’ as in ‘I am sure the historical Guo Jia was not this devastatingly beautiful’
ETA I mean Chen Mou’s design of Guo Jia is devastatingly beautiful sob

This is my favorite of the two stories in the little book I made for Art for Grabs / CF last year, am putting it online because I will take a long time to get it reprinted and it wasn’t doing much good sitting in my hard drive. Um let me know if you would like a copy :D; that would help me estimate how many to print, hopefully better than the first time around. Thanks to everyone who bought it at CF and also asked me to hold you a copy or two of the reprint ;_; I’m sorry I didn’t estimate very well for CF.
Happy Monday..

“Why are you so obsessed with Australian magpies”
For much better and many more Fuumas* and his uncle(s) pls see goddess rokuji
*Sometimes in dodgy situations. You have been warned

Serendipitously, also, the French for ‘eggplant’
Belated happy new year greetings and apologies for kicking 2012 off with terrible Sengoku Basara jokes

Yonder, Pira and Lono are waiting for you to read their story…

Spera: Volume I is officially released today! Archaia have a preview up on their website so you can read the first part of Josh’s story (featuring Kyla Vanderklugt’s beautiful art) for free :)
PS. and do pay a visit to the beautiful official Spera website which is now dressed warmly for the season
Comic Fiesta 2011 is on tomorrow!! Coffy* disapproves if you are in KL and do not attend.
Please click through for a showcase of countdown art celebrating the event, drawn by talented local and international friends of CF :)
*Coffy is CF’s mascot; she likes to cosplay so here she is cosplaying as Alouette (a pixiv fantasia character). I guess Didi the tiger decided to come along just to make sure nothing happens to Alouette’s armour..

also, I started playing Tactics. it is a good game. although it is making me even more frustrated than any amount of FFIV’s sudden death by random encounter
ps. sorry i haven’t really gotten to know the chars yet ;_; too busy scheming over the gameplay which is amazingggg

And a random page of sketchy Hisahides, I mean Australian magpies. Hisahide is sketchy too.
I am sorry for not posting much art lately here is some Guo Jia spam. The first is uhh a Guo Jia and Jia Xu story I want to do at some point in my life (sorry wenhe you are to me forever an ossan).The second is just blatant Ravages of Time fanart and please excuse my horrible calligraphy..
