This is the poster that I made for a Mando Diao mission.

My idea was creating a poster for an imaginary anime-styled animated Mando Diao film.

I just hope that the image is big enough, and with a resolution high enough to be printed as a poster for their studio.

Mando Diao: Misty Mountain poster

Right now I, with a partner, am translating DK/Google e-explore Animals for a local publisher. e-explore series are very interesting science books for children and teens, so I am very happy to be appointed one of the translators for the Indonesian edition. After Animals, we’ll continue with Science and History.

Am thinking of revamping the whole site, this time to suit my AirComic, Regus. I have designed the nine sons of the demon; I will draw them all and display the images here.

And I’ve finished my Mando Diao mission!

Well, it’s not just because people have been telling me that the colour combination of this site is too dark or not too ‘girly’ (LOL), but I would like this site to accommodate my current joint project with Vanessa, Kimidori. For the time being, you can check illustrations and doodles at her DA account or mine. We have plans of turning this project–that actually started as a P3 tribute–into something really big.

And right now I’m busy:

- teaching and grading papers

- editing several articles on forestry

- editing a guide for talented teens

- editing an astrophysics book

- working on NASTEA MIX

So I’m pretty occupied at the moment; but I’ll have a long holiday in the last week of this year and the first week of next year. Wish me luck!

How time flies. I’m still busy with work (teaching, translating) and am preparing an essay on Ikeda Riyoko’s Orpheus no Mado for next month’s Animonster.  My friend is writing the main part of the feature (story, history, characters, etc), so this is going to be a great collaboration.  We both love Orpheus no Mado to bits - even more than we do Rose of Versailles.

Other news: I’ve bought a tablet, and I hope it will boost my drawing/colouring skill soon.  *cross fingers*  Well, holiday is coming - it’s almost Idul Fitri - so I will have spare time to give the tablet a shot and finish some artwork that have been waiting idly at home.  And continue playing Persona 3, of course.  I’m crazy about the game.

Eid Mubarak, Minal Aidin wal Faidzin, Met Idul Fitri!
