--- adto ta Club Harem for educational purposes.. sponsora ko. ---

If I were single, I'd probably go there and befriend one or two
that could model for us for a low price. However, I don't think
my wife would believe me if I say I went there for "art's sake."

I think I'll follow Glenn Fabry's style. I'll buy a cheap
porn video and freeze the frame and grab a screenshot. I hope
I don't get motion blurs.

But your suggestion made me smile, zerk.

--- post your drawing already ---

Man, I wouldn't have given my sketchpad to my 4 year old daughter if
I knew about istorya.net's Arts and Literature forum.

I'll try to draw one or two figure and find a place where I can
scan them.

--- SuKoL mo ---

I don't think we needed to know the details about the break up.
I'm sure the people who learned from them appreciated SuKoL mo.

vanceloma, free? (joke only)

--- Cebu ready for another comic drawing club? ---

Anyway, who's really interested to start one? I think it's best to
start small with a group of people who can commit at least a few hours
a week to it. Sunday or nights during weekdays would be the best time
for me as Saturday's my wife's day off.

I'd really like to learn from the pros like you guys.

By the way, I'm not that good in drawing but I'm a fairly good web developer
(not designer mind you -- Don't ask me to design a page using Photoshop or
Flash -- I handcode HTML and create dynamic pages using PHP/MySQL/Smarty).

I can probably put up a decent site where you can
showcase your work but naa naman DevianArt so no need siguro.

I replied something about this in the "comic book drawing club in Cebu" thread.

Artist ka bai?

[zerk]

that is if you dont mind the really slow speed at deviant.

for posting purposes here in istorya. get a photobucket account.

la na man barato bai... :P i think the model would charge lower for -tot- than to pose.. kapoy man pose siguro. LOL

if your wife were there with some other artist.. i dont think tat would be a problem.




oh, i dont mind going out at nights maybe 8ish... eyeball muna... maybe coffee or something from there. we can streamline how we want the group to go.

That is true. That's why I plan to buy cheap xxx flicks somewhere in
downtown next week. I'll see if Glenn Fabry's style would work for
me too.

I'll be going to Manila tomorrow and will probably be back next Sunday.
I'll see you when I get back. I'll pm you my cellphone number. Can
you pm me yours too?

I wonder how many are really interested to join? Would 4 to 5 people
be a good number to start with?

I'll draw some figures in Manila so you can see some "amateur" work
when I get back

4 to 5 would be a good number to start. wala sab lami kun kita ra duha. we should get carlo borromeo to join... he's very knowledgable in sequential arts. as a writer i know he has a lot to share. IanR is a also a very talented artist and digital colorist.... you can learn a lot from him. I think both of them got into the international comic scene.

Hi zerk,

Gulp. These guys sound like heavy hitters. I think I'd feel like a 2nd
rate superhero visiting the JLA's Watchtower.

My personal goal is to draw line art (similar to the recent link I've
shown you) because I want to use the skill in Flash illustrations. I don't
like to draw comic books per se but would like to use the skills I'd
learn to better draw in Flash (so I don't really need to draw realistic
hair, or very fine textures). I'll bring a kiddie find-me book by Kris
Sisson so you'll get an idea of what kind of art I would really like to
learn.

While I may not be able to reach the level of IanR, I'm very good at
organizing things (I've organized our company's CounterStrike
tournament among other things). One of the key success factors in
any organization is having a goal. While I have my own above, I think
a noble goal would be to develop people who have a passion for comic
book art. I'm not sure how we'd finance but I think if people are really
passionate, they'll agree to KKB (kanya kanyang bayad -- supplies,
share in renting space where we can have our lessons, etc.)

I just hope we don't become like the organization that got flamed in
this thread.

Anyway, our house in San Juan, Metro Manila has internet access. I
can continue chatting with you until we meet sometime next, next
week.

Cge bai.
