One hundred million and two thousand years

Let your imagination run wild

Still remembered the time when anything can be part of your playing?
Still remembered the time how you make a story without a script and a dialogue.
Still remembered the time when even a blanket can be your story settings.
Still remembered those toys deep inside somewhere in your house?

Kind of miss them, those “playmate" that accompany me throughout my childhood. Life get going, new toys coming in PlayStation, NDS, high-tech phones.... and slowly we forgotten them, as how we forgotten to let our imagination runs wild.

"They" born from our imagination, we have given them thier name, the story background, and the story line. Every part of this are from our small little world. When we slowly grown up, we are entangled by life, by technologies, by REALITY.

When the day goes on, we forgotten our"self“, and work like a robot.... for what??
To survive?

You know the best ^^
Cheers

The making of "The BEAR"

Pending artwork I did during 2011. Finished the landscape and draft, but due to laziness and a lot of excuses, I left it somewhere floating on my desktop, till this winter vacation. Try out the brush strokes style of coloring, the effect is....not satisfying, but there is a start ^^.

Born the first teddy, however, the background is a bottom-up view and the bear is a front view, that's totally a contradiction. Besides that, the bear did not gave the feel "the guardian of the forest", more like a sneaking thief.

So I restarted the whole bear, with this more beast liked style.

A lot more to go yet....
