G-damn I’m back at last. Hi. Remember when I said it was going to be dark in the last post? (read: half a year ago) No? Well, here is some creepy brought to you by yours truly. I see this as sort of cheating ’cause I made these last year but… *shrug* Here’s a little something to give you nightmares.

Welcome.
Do not worry. We will take care of you. We have eyes everywhere. We see everything. Our eyes are opened wide, so wide for so long that they can no longer close. We have long ago erased the need to blink. Don’t worry, our red eyes are not that scary. They just need the rest we can never have. Nor are our ghostly pale skin, our jagged, yellowed teeth, the dark rings around eyes, and our loud cracked laughs. Long, and screeching, it will sound as if we are right next to you. We wish we can be right next to you, behind you, or anywhere near you all the time.
Do not worry. Our smiles are wide, wider than you can ever imagine. From cheek to cheek, if we have any. If we do not smile, do not worry. Just come closer. We will smile as soon as we notice you. Some of us might run to you. Do not run away from us. We are just very happy to see you. Because we think of all the fun we will be having together. Just you, us, and so much red.
Do not worry. The red is everywhere. Forgive the smell, for we know it is too much, but it is our favourite. You do not have to like it. But do not worry, you will get used to it soon. You will not even notice the red clinging to you. Becoming a part of you.
Do not worry. You might find some wooden dolls hanging around. Swaying subtly, as if there was a breeze. When you look at them closely, you might see movement in their eyes. You might hear faint whispers in your head. They are just our friends. The ones who came here before you. We wanted to remember them. To have them here forever. It will not hurt at all.
Do not worry. What are you saying. That’s preposterous. This is not death. It is not a nightmare. Oh, silly, this is not Hell either.
We will have lots of fun.
Do not worry.

I also wrote this last year, I just changed some things here and there. 😐 *haha welp* I’m not a hundred percent happy with it, but right now I can’t think of anything to make it better.
Isn’t my imagination fun? Wait until you’re alone in the dark. Then all the fun things will come out and play. I hate my brain and love it at the same time.
I hope you felt sufficiently creeped out.

B.o.S. over ‘n out!

You’re a cheery little thing, aren’t you.

20131207-145933.jpg
Run! Don’t look so bored, darn it!

Well.. I’m still alive.
Have I ever posted these? No? Ok, so, these were both drawn and coloured on an iPad. The top one is mine, while the bottom one was made by my brother. For some reason I really like them. Maybe because they’re one of the few digitally drawn drawings that actually look quite good.
On other news, now I’m in a filming school. Hooray me! \o/ This is the second semester, and I’m on my way to making my second short film. Yay! the first wasn’t that good so ignore it Also, now I have friends here.. Ha ha….. *clears throat*
That’s it, I guess.

The eye of bad pun ( πŸ˜› )

Hey won pt you look at that, I coloured them!! Whoop for me!! \(:D)/
Anyhow, I made and coloured all of these on my iPad.. Aaanndd I’ve been lazy again… T^T isthatnewsnonotreallywell
And have a one-eyed cartoon character I made (he has friends) out of a whim. They’re one-eyed, simple drawings, with cone hats with their initials (they’re all named after emotions/feelings n stuff) on it.. And I try to make all of their colours different. It’s… Surprisingly not very easy… 😐

20130829-111012.jpg

So, story of the week, time, post, month, whatever…

#3 The Religious Man
The Lord works in mysterious ways. At least that’s what people say and that’s what I have come to believe. They also say that angels are good and demons are bad. Every thing seems very black and white from what I have been tought. But as life has shown me, anything rarely is. There is no such thing as black or white, only varying colours of grey. Throughout my life I have learned many things. But all my 27 years of experience would never have been able to prepare me for an encounter that changed my life. My name is Thatcher Hemsley, and let me tell you a story.
Once upon a time there was a young man with blue eyes and dark brown hair and pale skin. He was a man of faith. He believed in God, and he believed in people. In his school days he was diligent, and after he was hard-working. He was content with what he had in life, he was balanced. An encounter that would have been deemed as impossible by many people disrupted that balance. It was raining but he walked through, not minding his wet clothes. The streets were quiet and no one was in sight when he spotted a man. A man who was staring straight at him. It should’ve been weird or creepy, but all he felt was an odd sense of calm. A sense that this man is no danger to him. He stared back, curious, and as he got closer his footsteps slowed down. The man in front of him looked older with green eyes and black hair. The man smiled and said, “Hello, I am Asmodel, an angel of the lord, and I am here to serve you as your guardian.” Despite his belief, someone claiming to be an angel should have been a stretch, unbelievable. But he didn’t, no, he couldn’t doubt the being in front of him. He replied, “I’m… Thatcher Hemsley…” He honestly could not think of anything else to say. He was speechless.
That day, his balance started to change without his notice. His happy life fell apart but gave in to a better one. A life with a person he loves who loves him equally in return. But that was only the beginning. The story of his life has just started.

((Mmmhhhh….. I hope it’s okay for you guys. I’m not sure I actually got the atmosphere/feeling right. :/ So, Thatch’s pov will be a half fairy tale story telling sort of style. If you get what I mean.. ^^a That’s Thatch meeting Gav, and the next one will be Gav Cloy, the fallen angel. I can’t think of anything else to say, so, until next time,

B.o.S. over ‘n out!))

An ‘Aye’

Lame pun ftw. :Pv Yep, I decided to give you guys another post after all. You’ll have to wait for Thatch’s story though. The last post burnt out my muse for tonight. (i.e. lazy ahoy slaps self) So~… An eye and a lame pun that doesn’t really mean anything. Wow, such a great post. (I still love sarcasm haha ^^’) On a different note, if you have been following me, or if you look at my older posts, you should remember my Fragments of Dreams posts. I have another story for that, but I might post it after I finish the intro for Allan and co. (only Thatcher and Gav are left so..) This dream stars (or starred???) my alter ego/other self/me from a parallel universe. And apparently he’s an ***hole.. :I I have a lot of dream!mes but not all of them have specific(?) personalities, and certainly not like him. Bad parallel me! pff idgit Oh, but I didn’t write it down yet.. Better get to it then.

Let us not seperate

Don’t ask. They’re.. Those, two… Somethings are not actually joined/stuck together, they’re holding hands. If you can’t tell, it’s really not your fault. I think they’re kinda cute…… :PP These two drawings(?) were made on my iPad.. without the pen things (I don’t know what they are called), and well, if I could print it colouring the eye would be interesting, I think. ^^a Anyhow, my laptop still hates me and I have to buy a cable to connect the printer/scanner to it so digital drawings slash doodles are all you’re going to get for a while. Sorry. D’: Are they bad? Too weird?? Or are they ok? ‘Till we meet again

20130618-132401.jpg

Hey guys, have a talking(?) eraser!!

So for some stupid inexplicable reason my computer wont let me go into wordpress (it keeps saying the connection resetted or the site’s busy D: ) so I can’t post any photos (which is supposed to be this post) ’cause they’re all in my laptop.. :/ I’ll try posting something from my school’s computer in maybe two days or so, I can’t do it today. If anyone knows why my computer is acting up, please help me.. ;A;

Okay, so you’re not just getting the weird eraser, you’re also getting a weird red-eyed rabbit. πŸ˜› Thinking back, I don’t know why I used eraser and not rubber… :/a Meh, whatever.
I said that I would give you an Allan & co. drabble, but I can’t give it now, I’ll give you guys something in a few hours. Be patient until then. ^^a

A Song of Bubbles, bubbles, BW, digital drawing, Drawing, Fairy, I'm not dead, portrait

20130609-210408.jpg

*clears throat*
Okay, first of all I want to say that I’m very, very sorry for the long hiatus and that I’m not dead.. Let’s just say that my totally-made-up-psychologycal ‘sickness’ (I think you know what I mean) has been acting up big time. 😦
Well, now I’m back (hopefully permanently) and I have been thinking, rather than giving you random drabbles of nothing, maybe it would be better if I wrote short stories scratchdrabblesscratch about Allan and co. instead. What do you think?? Although I’ll still write random drabbles every now and then, but I wanted to try to concentrate on something more, um, specific. Anyhow, if you have any opinions about it I’d like to hear them. πŸ™‚
Now, about the drawing (yes, that’s a drawing).. Unlike the others I’ve posted, this was drawn on my iPad, not on a random piece of paper. And I didn’t colour it because, let’s face it, an iPad isn’t exactly the best thing to use for colouring things, especially if you’re using your fingers. Although I could try printing it and then colour it manually, but maybe next time, yeah? And, uh, I don’t really have a drabble for this (don’t really feel like it), sorry.. So, that’s it I guess. Thanks.. πŸ™‚

A Portrait

A Portrait, BW, Drawing, emotion, hot day, not on proper paper, portrait, word vomit

A Portrait of A Woman

“This is a portrait of a woman. A strong woman, with large brown eyes and dark hair. Looking at the distance, with thought, seriousness, and determination. A beautiful woman, but beauty is relative

The woman, with eyes looking to the future. Her everything screaming “I’M READY!” What does she see? What is she preparing herself for? This is a portrait of a woman prepared to fight for a better future.”

What? I’m posting something? And that something is so bloody short?? O well. This is a drawing of no one in particular. I just found a piece of already-printed-on paper and drew something random on the back. Because I could use the back. Because it was blank. And it would be a waste of paper if I just threw it. It turned into a portrait(?) of some woman and this is the BW version. Well, it’s not like I coloured it. πŸ˜›

So~.. The.. Drabble? Word vomit?? I just came up with that (just like every other word vomit I write/type), and it’s just what I think of about this drawing. I hope you like it?? ^^’a

And, wow! Summer has shown its bad side. The heat wave today! It was about 41 degrees Celsius here. It was hot (still is), sunny (which did NOT help at all), and kind of windy. The thing is, the wind was hot! So outside it was this stuffy kind of hot. And there were people walking around! (okay, don’t think of the ones that had to work, or buy stuff you need in order to live) But, well, I guess it wasn’tΒ that unbearable.. If you didn’t stay outside for too long. And yes, I was one of those people walking around in the heat. What? I wanted to know the difference between hot here and in Bali! Although I kind of expected 40 to be dead-hot.. But I’m not saying it’s not hot. I stayed inside most of the day. Lucky. It could be worse? My father could’ve not borrowed the portable Air-con, or my house could’ve been one of the types that weren’t hot-upstairs-cool-downstairs. (yes, it gets hot on the second floor in summer and cold on the first floor in winter, but I guess it kind of balances out) O well, nothing interesting, so that’s all from me.

B.o.S. over ‘n out!

 

EDIT: Okay! I just found out that I kind of have a pattern when posting??!! I swear I didn’t do it on purpose! So, I just scrolled down and noticed that recently(ish) I’ve been posting mostly on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. What the hey?! How did THAT happen?? And it’s not always every one week either, just check the dates! Wow, that’s weird.. *mind blown* But I don’t think it will last? I think this because things change when I notice them. Usually. πŸ˜›

A Grey Evening

A Grey Evening, a little story, a lot of talking, After Dark, BW, clouds, Drawing, edited, not on proper paper, photoshop, Randoms, sea, sky, sunset

“The sun is near setting. The sky is turning dark and I feel the chill of the evening wind. I stand on the sand and look at the horizon. Not many stars will show tonight, the clouds are gathering. The salty wind is harsh on my skin, but I want to stay for a while longer. The sea is deep and dark, not showing what is beneath.

I picture the scene in different colours.. I think yellow is quite good, it matches the colour of the sun and the orange shade of the sky. I stare for another few minutes and decide that it’s getting too cold and head back to make tea and watch some television.”

 

Hoorah, hoorah another short story (monotone).. The first image is a bw version edited a little with photoshop (I added a gradient and erased some parts for the sun and clouds) and the second one is a version with 50% contrast. This was drawn on brown paper with a black pen. Haha, you might be thinking what’s with me and brown paper.. πŸ˜›

Anyhow, oh! I wanted to tell you guys about something.. So, a few days ago I finally finished a chapter for a story! πŸ˜€ I know that sounds sad, but I usually have to re-write a chapter again and again and again.. It’s annoying. D: That’s why I’m quite happy that I finished this and felt quite satisfied with the results. (Fragments of Dreams doesn’t count because they are more of a recount of my dreams than actual fiction) The title of this story is After Dark (comes light), taken from a quote by an Indonesian hero R. A. Kartini that says: “Habis gelap terbitlah terang”, which literally means after dark comes light. I felt that that quote suits the story a lot, because at the beginning the main character experiences something very bad and later (very later) on in the story will be revealed something that will counter that experience.

I’ll give you a little summary: Officer Carson stumbles into something he shouldn’t have. It’s too late for him to run or hide, he can only trust his friend Special Agent Kellerman to uncover the dark secret an organization wants to keep hidden. Tyler, only relying on what his friend left behind wants to find the person responsible for his friend’s death.

If you are an awesome blogger by the name of Sethsnap you will know what this is about.. More or less. If you want to know what I wrote try checking his ‘Your Story’ posts starting from here. This story has Tyler Kellerman, a 33 years old Aussie, as the main character. His best friend, Thomas ‘Tom’ Carson, is killed.. Right from the start. ‘Cause that’s the type of writer I am, start with a what-the-hell-happened/is-going-on scenario. πŸ˜› The setting is in present day Australia. Because I can’t write a story with America, etc as the setting if I’ve never been there. :\ So far I only have one chapter done, but I have ideas for almost half of the whole story. That’s also the kind of writer I am, I think too far ahead. I should stop for a while now.. T__T And also this story is somewhat of a ‘before’ of a slightly older story I made. But that’s a different story with different main characters (yes, that one has multiple m.c.s). Anyhow! I’ll type the chapter into the computer before I decide to start the re-writing spree. I hope you guys will like it.. Remember I’m still new at writing (in a serious manner) so constructive criticism would be totally awesome.Β Thanks a lot everyone. πŸ™‚

Trees in Pencil

a little story, colour, colour pencil, Drawing, on drawing paper, Randoms, trees, Trees in Pencil

“Going through the woods, I look up to see the sun. I have been walking for two hours now, just wandering around and drawing the scenes I find interesting. It’s almost time to go back. One more drawing then I’ll be done.

I see through some trees at the clear sky and bright sun. Hmm, I want to draw that. I sit down on a rock and take out my drawing book and colour pencils. I look up one more time before letting my hand draw freely.

I love drawing and as far as I know I’m quite good at it.”

That story up there is just fiction, for your information (and sorry it’s so short).. Oh, by the way, eek! Just imagine that the writings on the bottom right don’t exist. πŸ˜› So, I drew this a few days ago because I felt like drawing. I used (kind of) half of an A4 drawing paper and colour pencils. I drew it at night so I couldn’t see that good (the light could be righter here), but I think it turned out quite okay. πŸ™‚ What do you think? Is the shadow good enough? Or the tree and leaves, are they okay? Constructive criticism would be nice, I could use some to improve my drawings. πŸ™‚

Oh!! And thanks a lot everyone, for all the likes and follows. I’m happy that people are enjoying what I’ve made.. I hope you’ll continue to enjoy them. Thanks again guys, I love you all. ;D

Fantasy on Paper

a little story, BW, Drawing, Fantasy on Paper, fantasy world, no story yet, Randoms

“A world on paper. It can be anything you want. Fantasy, realistic, simple, complicated.. Let your mind and hand freely create.

Whether it’s a tower with a moat around it, twin volcanoes spitting lava and smoke, or a tree with a magical gem in a cave. Whether it’s a story with a happy ending or not. That world you created on a piece of paper, only you know the full story it holds.

Won’t you share it with us? Your fantasy on a piece of paper. Here is mine, where is yours?”

 

– Drew this a few days ago. The first is the original and second is the bw version (contrast 100%). It’s on an A4 printing paper (HV paper? I forgot what it was called) and I used a pen when I drew it. The top-left is a tower with a moat around it and a wooden bridge to go across, in the middle of a forest (sorry if it doesn’t look like it). Bottom-left are twin volcanoes also in the middle of a forest with a black sun on the top-left side (or dark red as I prefer it) and some sort of ‘bridge’ between them, the left volcano is spitting lava while the right one is spitting smoke. The last one is (kind of) a (skinny) banyan tree with a glowing gem on the top, the ‘cage’ is made from the tree’s branches, in a dark (big) cave, the cave floor is meant to be made of dozens of rocks (not quite pebble sized).

I hope that was a good enough description, if there is anything else you want to know please just ask me. πŸ™‚

By the way what I drew was a fantasy world, but it doesn’t really have a good story. If you want to you can (please?) help me make a story for it by putting it in the comments.

Thanks anyways guys and sorry for any errors. πŸ™‚ B.o.S. over ‘n out!
