Yeah! Finally getting the hang of doing vectors.

Still need loads of practice, but I guess it’s good enough to use in an actual distribution.

Here’s the one done for the company.

It’s called, Life Events.

I’ve been trying to do vector illustrations.

Why are they so hard to translate!?

Why!

And then you get people like this.

And it makes me just want to give up.

Here’s my meagre attempt and giving up halfway on the vector version.

Inspired by Ayumi’s Sunrise Video.

Tomorrow’s a brand new day. Maybe I’ll try again?

I love trailers.
I love awesome trailers.
These days it’s very common to find mashups and remixes of trailers and movies. So I wondered why is there no re-presentation of one of the best movies ever made, about the greatest man ever lived.

Then in my search, I found this.

I had always intended to make one, but don’t see myself doing justice to such a great film. Maybe in the future, if my film-making dreams do take off. And my editing skills improve, that is.

Meanwhile, if you haven’t seen this movie, go see it. If you have, see it again.

The web is progressing at ridiculous speeds! When I first played with web design, it was the Age of Tables. No one’s ever heard of DIVs or CSS. And Flash is for cool people.

Now web design is something else. It’s all social now. There was a quote from a malay movie few years back, “Social! Social! Ka-Ching!”. The movie’s called Bujang Senang.

And Flash is now for losers but only a few of the elite use it to its true potential.

The age of Narrowness (width) of the websites are at an end. Well, truth is, it’s ended more than a year ago. The age of static websites are at an end. The future is Content. And CONTENT needs to be managed.

Which is why Suadref Studios NEEDS to evolve with the web. I’m thinking, Suadref Studios will temporarily move away from VIDEO. It’ll be graphics and Web Services from here on in. At least till I get myself up to date with the era of High Definition. Mini-DV is now ancient.

The age of RANTS are over. Now it’s Content Contribution. So the new Suadref Studios Blog will no longer have any Rants about what a shitty day it’s been or what an awesome day it’s been. (actually, that’s been the case for quite some time now).

The NEW Suadref Studios will feature a more refined portfolio. I’m still considering whether to make this site a ONE PAGE LOVE, where everything is nicely arranged into 1 web PAGE. It’s not laziness or sloppiness. It’s art.

Or maybe the NEW Suadref Studios will span through several sections. Probably similar to how it is now, only more integrated. Easily Updatable. Which means more regular portfolio updates.

And now the crucial part. Commitment. If I don’t SET a DATE, it’ll never happen. So to ANYONE following this WEBSITE/BLOG…

The NEW Suadref Studios… LAUNCHES…

Judge Dredd. Now that’s a kick ass ‘hero’. I believe it’s one of the first comic adaptation movies that did not suck.

Stallone as Dredd is a perfect cast. And the suit… oh man, I love the suit. Subconsciously, the characters I designed for the RIFT game back in SIM was inspired by Judge Dredd. I remember considering heavily whether to give them helmets or not.

And here I thought I was being original. Riftwalkers are Judge Dredd plus Reboot Guardian combo.

Anyway, the video on top, Dredd’s kickassery, with a bonus…. in French. Somehow the voice and language suits the character even more.

Doodling lots. Still no idea for a comic.

Luv Deluxe.
Initially, I thought this was a short film, it just happened to have a cool soundtrack to go along with it. But truth is, it’s a music video, that has an awesome cool short film that goes along with it.
Just goes to show how important music is to telling a story.

I was expecting another rewind where the guy just ignores the girl at that gas station. And there won’t be any problems. Because 1st round: guy is neutral. 2nd round: guy is bad. 3rd round: guy is good. It’s obvious that the girl is the bad one. Nice story throughout.

Really cute. Goodbye to the normals. This kid is awesome. Nothing much to say about this except it’s just cute and cool. And that last curse word is just the cherry on the icing. (is that the right use?)

This one… is just… too… awesome. I love this. I love how it’s worthy of the viral legacy of the Dark Knight. Give the guy a chance and you’ll find the ride extremely unbelievable. The Joker Blogs.

I know that I can never do justice to draw this all time favourite but badly portrayed Superhero. I’ve avoided drawing superheros altogether actually. But, I thought I’ll try it out…

“Not sure how to clean up? Use cutouts heavily!”

This isn’t my first attempt. I was actually saddened by my first attempt at sketching with a tablet. But hours into playing with it, I’ve begun to get a good feel to it.

Wacom Bamboo Fun.

This is just the beginning.

Let’s hope my enthusiasm doesn’t run away.

Hari Raya @ the city website is featured on Suria.sg!

Have a good Ramadan, everyone.

I’m gonna do a revamp of Suadref Studios soon, once the major projects are done.
