Woohoo! finally done. put simply all i did was provide the artwork. not so simply, i almost died doing those frames, editing the images, and making them move. hahhaha....
i hope the embedded flash player works. here goes nothing:
Warm yourself by the fire, son,
And the morning will come soon.
I’ll tell you stories of a better time,
In a place that we once knew.
Before we packed our bags
And left all this behind us in the dust,
We had a place that we could call home,
And a life no one could touch.
Don’t hold me up now,
I can stand my own ground,
I don’t need your help now,
You won't let me down, down, down!
Don’t hold me up now,
I can stand my own ground,
I don’t need your help now,
You will let me down, down, down!
Down!
We are the angry and the desperate,
The hungry, and the cold,
We are the ones who kept quiet,
And always did what we were told.
But we’ve been sweating while you slept so calm,
In the safety of your home.
We’ve been pulling out the nails that hold up
Everything you’ve known.
Don’t hold me up now,
I can stand my own ground,
I don’t need your help now,
You will let me down, down, down!
Don’t hold me up now,
I can stand my own ground,
I don’t need your help now,
You will let me down, down, down!
So open your eyes child,
Let’s be on our way.
Broken windows and ashes
Are guiding the way.
Keep quiet no longer,
We’ll sing through the day,
Of the lives that we’ve lost,
And the lives we’ve reclaimed.
Go!
Don’t hold me up now,
I can stand my own ground,
I don’t need your help now,
You will let me down, down, down!
Don’t hold me up now,
I can stand my own ground,
I don’t need your help now,
You will let me down, down, down!
Don’t hold me up…
(I don’t need your help, I’ll stand my ground)
Don’t hold me up…
(I don’t need your help)
No! No! No!
Don’t hold me up!
(I don’t need your help, I’ll stand my ground)
Don’t hold me up!
(I don’t need your help, I’ll stand my ground)
Don’t hold me down, down, down, down, down!

Zairu's friend Sylvia is entering some MOH divisional poster competition n enlisted my help to draw some comics! i found their story pretty funny, and decided to take on the job. of course the $300 they offered was a huge incentive haha :D they must be pretty pressed for time, cos they only contacted me YESTERDAY, and told me the deadline was THIS THURSDAY. talk about last minute. so i dumped down all my term papers (help!) and worked crazy on the job.
Hope all goes well for them! if they win the competition, i'll get my comics posted around MOH! (woohoo~!) too bad i don't go there haha.
at 2pm today, i reached home arms aching but face smiling and heart racing.
I opened the gig bag to uncover my brand new cherry red Fender Squier Bullet Strat. complete with the Fender Bullet 150 amp (weighs a ton), cable, tuner, capo and stuff.
throw in the effects, some groove, and Boulevard of Broken Dreams finally ROCKS. oh yeah~.
(the whammy bar is still in the box cos i figured i wasn't pro enough to use it and was afraid i'll spoil it la)

i finished this is THREE WHOLE DAYS. i'm amazed at myself haha. :) It's supposed to be an magazine of sorts, with feature articles of the Chinese Calendar, Ba Zi (eight characters) and Feng Shui slot interwoven into the comic story.
the hair took me forever to do seriously. and yes, the sexy poses were done on purpose haha. so the comic won't be too boring with all the serious stuffs :D i'd already overshot the time i told myself i'd finish this by, so i skipped the shading and fine-tuning. aiya, not like pple really notice anyway.
i think i'm getting better with my drawing hehe. the actions and angles and poses are all coming quite nicely to me now. it'd be nice to do drawing for a career. of course, that's if money drops from the sky hah. maybe next time when i've enough i'll try publishing sth.
