back to work,,,, geeezz...

I need more vacation.

...
...
...

can't believe tomorrow i'll be coming back to work already.


...


seriously
...
I REALLY need more vacation.



today's my last vacation day and i spent half the day sleeping in bed... well i guess that's natural coz yesterday i was like awake for 21 hours...

last night my cousin dropped by, and we played DoTA for 4 hours. from 12 midnight to 4 in the friggin' morning. freakish huh? i might as well turn into a zombie or something. then maybe i'll be included in the cast of one of those freaky zombie horror flicks, like resident evil 4 or something like that. right. that's a good idea.

seriously, i need more vacation. like, say 1 week extension. it sucks when the vacation you have isn't enough. especially if it's coming-back-to-work eve. just like today. the other day i remember drawing a few pictures for my cousin, it's some sort of group project or something. he had me draw shrimps, there was the boastful shrimp, and five other little shrimps who always watched the boastful asshole. i had to color it so i used color pencils. it turned out quite well, besides the fact that it's been ages since i last drew (like 4 days).

this gorgeous (you have no idea, man.) officemate of mine asked if i could draw a picture of her. i said yes, wholeheartedly, with the dream of asking her to a date after i give her the drawing. but it was christmas eve, of course it was vacation time, that i knew that she just had a new boyfriend. and it sucks dude. well, it really wasn't a bother to me at all (don't believe me. I'm LYING). but i was planning on making her a portrait. but hell, i guess i won't be able to ask her out anymore (DREAM ON ASSWIPE!). so instead, i just drew her a cartoon version of herself. it turned out pretty well, though it didn't look very much like her, just a little. just a little like the way yoda looks like shrek.

i plan on giving it to her. hope i get a smooch on the cheeks! come to think of it, i guess i need a girlfriend now. coz seriously, i'm like always thinking to myself when i see some cute chick, "ooh... i definitely need those curves right now". it's just that i always contradict myself and say that girlfriends are worth nothing except someone to waste your money on. (to all the girlfriends out there, please don't pray for my untimely death .)

anyway, now that i realized that at work (coz i'm new to work) it's not a problem to have someone to hang out with. coz when you're both working, that means that you both have money. i'm sorry if i look like a money-obsessed martian invader here. i guess i'm just frustrated coz i'm penniless right now. haven't gotten my payslip yet. yeah, you're right. i'm such a loser! haha!

i instantly ran out of words. i just can't think of thinkable thoughts. well, i guess this is enough for now. anyway this blog already did its purpose. to relieve the stress of the sucker who's typing in front of the monitor right now coz he thinks that it's still too bothersome to go to work tomorrow already, which just came back to his mind and now he has to do this blog all over again to forget it again which he won't anymore because he'd look like a fool to the guys reading this and that he's just typing random thoughts and wasting time afterall. he should stop now because he's just wasting more time and there won't be any left to watch porn in the internet and that would be just too bothersome for him as well.

so why don't you just take a look at this drawing of yours truly so that you and i both would be happy and feel like there was some sort of holy reason for you to read this crap of a blog.


seriously... i need a girlfriend.

loser.

a simple realization of God's gift to me.

Ever since I can remember, I've been drawing.

My youngest memory when I started drawing perhaps was when I was three years old. YES! THREE YEARS OLD. if i remember it correctly, i even learned to draw before i learned how to read and write. yes, because now that i think of it, i started reading, and eventually, writing at age 4. I started drawing pictures of my favorite (not anymore) sentai heroes - THE MIGHTY MORPHIN' POWER RANGERS! yes! i remember drawing the megazords that they used to have in the movie--the gorilla, frog, falcon,,, and uhh,,, uhhmm,, the other three. when i saw those drawings again when i turned 13, man i was laughing my ass off! when i was a wee kid, i used to brag about those power ranger pictures which actually looked like grilled lizards. the only difference, was the color, one was dipped in ketchup, one in mustard, one in mayonnaise, one in blue paint, one in crude oil, and one in pink paint (couldn't think of any other to suit pink).

When i turned 6 years old, drawing became a whole new world for me--the world of Anime. That's right boys and girls. It started out with my interest in YuYu Hakusho (Ghost Fighters here in the philippines). It all began when one day, my mother bought me a whole set of trading cards (teks, para mas maunawaan mo talaga, kabayan). I thought, hey this is cool, let me try to copy. So I took my pad paper and one pencil and eraser from my bag. I finished my very first work. "waw! ang lupet! asteg ka eugene!" and then i made another, and another, and another. and by the time i realized it, i said to myself, "waw. kaya ko na palang magdrawing ng ganito?" But actually, it still wasn't that good. It still looked like crap but during that time, I was contented with my work.

and so i tried all the other anime cartoons i could watch during that time. - magic knight rayearth, btx, yaiba, even flying house! by the time i turned 9, a whole new set of cartoons showed up. there was dragon ball z, gundam wing, mojacko, takoyaki mantleman, tom sawyer, hackelberry fin, judy abbot, and lots more that i couldn't remember anymore. also at age nine, i was getting more curious with drawing styles and so i tried coloring my drawings.

the following year, (i was 10), i learned the most revolutionary technique for me during that time - SHADING. i remember that i was just curious one day, and i thought to myself, "hanep tong mga kulay kulay na to ah, may variance. may mas madilim, at may mas maliwanag, na parang nagbibigay ng kapal dun sa tao." cool. i was like sherlock holmes scrutinizing some crime scene with just the eyes and a brain. and so i tried it. it is important to take note that i stopped coloring my drawings during this time because i thought it was messy and it took more time. (i used to have a very short attention span, like that of spongebob.) and so i finished my first set of drawings, and by thunder it looked awesome! i think i really had this affinity with the pencil. (which eventually became my specialty.) i looked at my drawings. wow! it was nice! it actually looked like the ones i copied! it had depth! and most importantly, it was clean!

and so randell went on with his journey with the pencil. the end.


joke. pero magtatagalog na ko kasi nakakainis na magenglish. ang ikli pa ng nagagawa ko nakaka20 minutes na ko.

ayun nga. umabot ako ng grade six - ito na ang moment- dito na naglitawan ang mga malulupit na anime - voltes v, hunter x hunter, slamdunk, lupin III (da best!), master of mosquiton, monster rancher, pokemon, hell teacher nube, card captor sakura, neon genesis evengelion, ibinalik ang gundam wing! yan! ang dami! at lahat yan nagawan ko ng drawing! nakakapagtaka nga kasi ang konti na ng mga natabi ko, tae, iniimagine ko nga kung gano kadami nang bond paper yan tska oslo e, 12 pa lang ako niyan!! nung grade six din ako sumali ng art club namin atsaka ng young writer's guild bilang editorial cartoonist. hindi ako nagyayabang pero nung gumradweyt ako ako ang 1st sa division meet ng editorial cartooning - english category! ako din ang artist of the year ng batch namin. at ito pa, hindi taun-taon yang award na yan! para lang sa mga henyo katulad ko! pero jowk lang ung henyo ako. kasi mas magaling pa sa henyo ang level ko. (pakyu randell! ang korni mo!)

ayun. high school na. shet!

nung high school, baun-baon ko lagi yung portfolio ko ng mga drawing since grade six. na kada taon ay nadadagdagan ko ng mga at least 3-6 drawings, depende sa trip ko kada year level. pinakamadami akong nadagdag nung 2nd year ko, kasi may panibago na naman akong napagtripan nun - arcades. oo, arcades. pero isa lang in particular - king of fighters. naku, pucha. nung 2nd year ako daig ko pa epson digital photoprinter - halos araw-araw nagdodrawing ako. ang ginagawa ko pa dati, pinopause ko ung practice mode, para makopya ko yung pose ng mga favorite kong characters, na mostly ay si kyo kusanagi at iori yagami. lang naman palagi. asteg kasi sila eh! nagdrawing din ako ng garou: mark of the wolves, darkstalkers, tsaka ibang mga kung anu-anong computer games na natipuhan ko at pinagaksayahan ng kuryente sa bahay. pagtapak ko ng senior year, tumaas na naman ang level ng pagdodrawing ko. nun kasing 4th year, first time kong magkagirlfriend. at totoo nga ang sinasabi na tatay ko nung maliit pa ko - masarap magdrawing pag in love! nga pala,, nakalimutan kong sabihing artist din ang tatay ko, pati yung dalawa ko pang tito, yung isa naman malupit sa sculpture, at pati tatay ng tatay ko, artist din. yung lolo ko ang pinakamalupit, kasi ang talent niya ay yung pinagcombine na forces ng talent ng tatay ko at mga tito ko. oo, anlupet nun, nagpipinta, drawing, sculpture, clay, pottery, pati yata pagpapanday alam nun e! so suffice to say, na kaya naman siguro i draw e nasa family genes na talaga. ayun, back to me and my gerlpren (na ex ko na ngayon). sabi ko naglevel up ako diba? oo, kasi dito ako, for the very first time in my entire life, nakapagdrawing ng isang kamukha, malinis, maayos, at katanggap-tanggap na portrait. oo, portrait. e di syempre kanino pa ba? sa ka-love team ko noon. dalawa pa nga ang nagawa ko e. at dalawa ko rin silang namisplace na ngayon. sad ano? pero ok lang, kasi meron naman akong upload nun sa friendster ko. (uyy.. titingnan niya.) wag ka nang maghanap, ako na magsasabi sa'yo, pretty ang ex ko. (oi oi.. di ako bitter ha!) o sige na nga.. pakita ko na.


ayan. siya yan. ang galing ko no? wahahaha!

ito na. college.

kwento ko lang.. para mas magkaunawaan tayo.

nung 4th year high school ako, syempre, hanapan na ng schools for college. hindi naman nakapagtataka na gustuhin ko ang kursong bachelors of fine arts major in advertising arts. pero sa kasamaang palad, e totoong buhay to kaya hindi lahat natutupad. walang problema sa UP diliman, nagentrance exam ako - bagsak. pero okey lang, kasi may talent test naman for fine arts freshmen. pero ito ang masakit - nung papasok ang batch namin atsaka na-implement yung 300% tuition increase ng UP. wala kaming pera. SHET! guho ang mga pangarap ko. yung tangi kong pag-asa para makakuha ng gusto kong course na abot kaya ng pamilya namin sa halagang anim na libong piso kada isang sem, naging labing-walong libong piso na pakingshit goddman maderpaker na yan per semester!!! yun ako, nauwi sa anim na libong luha nung mabalitaan ko ang GOOD NEWS. yun na lang ang tanging university na pwedeng magpaaral sa akin ng fine arts, nawala pa. matik na yung ibang mga universities, hindi ko kayang pasukan - UST, 35 thousand per sem, pucha, magtitinda na lang ako ng shabu. FEU, 39 thousand per sem - trimester. howli syeeet! kakana na lang ako ng pokpok sa cubao tsaka papatihulog sa mataas na tulay, or pwede ring pasagasa sa LRT, sa may v.mapa para sa tapat ako ng mendiola. mati-TV pa. maaari mong sabihin, "gago pala ikaw e, pwede namang magskolar." isa lang isasagot ko, di ko kaya. totoong may kasabihang there's a will, there's a way. pero sadyang hindi para sakin ang magpagulong-gulong for 4 years para lang makapagtapos na isang skolar. masyadong mahirap. ayun nga, walang no choice kundi ang kumuha ng course na iba. tinamaan naman ng magaling! nauwi din ako sa scholarship, sa may lyceum of the philippines university. pero hindi fine arts, kundi masscomm major in advertising ang kinuha ko. ayos lang kahit skolar. madali pala talaga ang aral. pero hindi din nagtagal, nawalan na ako ng gana, hindi ko kasi gusto ang course. natanggal ako sa course sa kadahilanang ayaw ko nang banggitin pa. nung mga panahong sinasawaan na akong mag-aral, isa lang palagi ang pumapasok sa utak ko, "Lord, hindi ko na po ba magagamit tong kamay ko sa course na sobrang gusto ko?" ayaw ko na kasing magpabanjing-banjing sa course na madali nga kung tutuusin, pero di ko naman gusto. di ko naman mahal. may utak ako, alam ko naman na di ako bobo, pero walang sipag. nung mga panahon ko sa college ko nadiskubre at napagisip-isip na dapat yata ay meron akong sariing style ng pagdodrawing. kaya dun ko sinubukan ang mga kung anu-anong style ng pagdodrawing. at ayun na nga, nasanay na kong magdrawing ng walang kopyahan. naggawa pa nga ako ng mga characters para sa isang comics na balak kong gawin e. kami pa nga ng mga tropa ko sa college ang bida dun e. nasimulan ko naman, pero di ko matuloy-tuloy. busy kasi ako sa project noong mga panahong yun.

ngayong nagtatrabaho na ko, mas may oras ako sa pagdodrawing. usually, dinodrawing ko ang cartoon mode ko. ewan ko kung bakit, pero ang hilig kong dinodrawing yung sarili ko, nakakatawa nga minsan e, pakiramdam ko ako si narcissus. wahahaha! ngayon, pag nasa bahay lang, ineedit ko sa photoshop yung mga trabaho ko, para mas malinis. masasabi ko rin naman na talent na rin ang pagpophotoshop. para ka rin naman kasing nagdodrawing, pc nga lang ang papel mo at mouse ang lapis na hawak.

sa ngayon. nakita ko na ang sarili kong style na pagdrawing. hindi na din ako masyadong nagkokopya ng drawings, kasi i realized na hindi talaga ako pwedeng tawaging artist kung walang sariling estilo ng pagdrawing at puro kopya lang sa iba ang alam. at proud to say na ang nadevelop kong style ng pagdrawing ay hindi yung tipikal na anime style na usong-uso sa kapanahunan ko ngayon. hindi, hindi ganoon ang style ko. iba. pwede mong sabihing may bahid ng pugad baboy style na puro bilog pero may bahid din ng anime. basta di ko maipaliwanag. teka.. papakita ko na lang sa 'yo. para mas makapagyabang pa yung gagong nagtype ng lintik na blog na to na wala naman atang ibang magbabasa kundi ang sarili niyang abnormal.

saktong pagninilay lang ngayong bagong taon tungkol sa ating mga pilipino...

wow,,, it's been ages since i last posted here...

so what's the news guys?

how was your new year celebration?..

mine was good, except for those noisy neighbors of ours who did nothing but throw firecrackers across the street!

it's just the start of the year, so why don't i just type in Tagalog for a change?....

ok. good enough.

lately, kakabasa ko lang ng stainless longganisa, by the great, legendary, almighty, genius, and abnormal Bob Ong. *peace tayo bob ong, please, wag mong susunugin ang tirahan namin! kaso hindi mo naman ata alam na dito lang kami sa san roque, marikina city nakatira! haha! kala mo ha!*

anyway, enough with the jokes...

ayun, nakakatuwa yung mga libro niya, kasi alam mong hindi niya lang to ginawa para magpatawa lang at gawin kang mukhang sabogaloids at abormalites sa kakatawa mo mag-isa sa FX o jeepney, na sa kasamaang palad ay nangyari naman sa akin. nagmukha akong bagong laya ng gotham asylum dati nang magtatawa ako sa FX habang binabasa yung Ang Paboritong Libro Ni Hudas. May isa pa kong sugar-sweet moment nung nasa jeep naman ako at nagkandasinuk-sinok ako nang basahin ko yung Alamat Ng Gubat, siyempre, sa KATATAWA DIN!. Anak naman kasi ng tinapang pinrito! Nakakadiri si Aso! biruin mo, susuka siya, tapos kakainin niya ulit yung suka niya, habang "pinipilit magmukhang kagalang-galang? HAHAHA!!! nakakadiri talaga! Ang galing mo Bob Ong! Idol!

back to stainless longganisa...

ang galing ng book niya na to kasi dito niya pinakita yung isang side ng buhay niya kung saan natin siya lahat nakilala (at sinamba) -- ang kanyang pagsusulat. dito niya tinukoy at ikinwento ang mga bagay na sumasagi sa kanyang isipan kapag nagsusulat, yung mga trip niya kapag nagsusulat, yung mga impluwensiya at 'inspiration' niya sa pagsusulat, yung pananaw niya sa bansa natin, at yung mga payo niya para sa mga mambabasa ng mga libro niya, at pati na rin pala yung malakontrabida ng telenovela niyang pagkamuhi sa mga taong binabasa lang ang libro niya sa bookstore, pero di naman binibili.

ang daming bagay ang matututunan mo pag nabasa mo ang stainless longganisa. yung mga paghihirap niyang dinanas bilang isang writer kung paano ba niya matatapos yung una niyang libro. sabi niya kasi sa libro, na ang nagtulak sa kanya para magsimulang magsulat ay yung mga tagasubaybay niya sa dati niyang website, yung BobongPinoy.com (na sa kasamaang palad, ay wala na ngayon, kasabay ng pagbaba ni Erap sa Malacanang. hindi ko man lang naabutan yung website niya, BADTREP!). pero ayun nga, nung magawa niya yung una niyang libro e naging mga kwentong chalk ito at hindi kwentong barbero, na laman daw ng website niya dati (di ko talaga sure, dahil di ko nga inabot ung website). kaya naman nagawa niya yung pangalawa niyang libro, na puro 'kwentong barbero' na medyo malalim ang pagkasatirical sa takbo ng pamahalaan natin at pati na rin ng society natin na proud to be "THIRD-WORLD COUNTRY". oo, masakit ngang isipin na bulok ang sistema natin sa bansa. sabi niya sa stainless longganisa, na sori daw kung marami ang hindi natuwa o natawa (spot the diff.) sa 2nd book niya, na maraming patama sa maling pagpapatakbo ng mga tao sa pamahalaan sa ating mga "bobong pilipino". WHICH IS SO TRUE. kasi di naman daw puro pagpapatawa ang pakay niya bilang writer, dahil kung ganun lang din naman daw, e sana pinuno na lang daw niya ng picture niya yung mga gawa niyang libro.
naniniwala ako sa paniniwala niyang yun, dahil kahit ganun na puro kagaguhan at katarantaduhan lang ang laman ng mga libro niya, e dito naman sumasalamin ang mga paniniwala, napagdaana sa buhay, at mga "dilemma" ng isang bobong pilipino, tulad niya, tulad mo, tulad ko, tulad nating lahat. marahil kung pilipino ka at binabasa mo to ngayon at di mo pa nababasa ang mga libro ni bob ong (kawawa ka naman, you poor thing), e nao-offend ka na sa paulit-ulit kong pagbanggit ng bobong pilipino, bobong pilipino, bobong pilipino, bobong pilipino, kung saan kasama ako sa tinutukoy ko. wag kang mag-alala, dahil hindi ako nakatira ng ipinagbabawal na gamot, medyas lang na nilublob sa kumukulong suka na merong lamang loob ng paniki mula sa laboratoryo ni mojo-jojo. hindi, may dahilan kung bakit bobong pilipino, bobong pilipino, bobong pilipino, bobong pilipino (pasensya na talaga kung paulit-ulit).

ganito na lang, para madaling unawain, ipapakita ko sayo ang isang magandang example ni bob ong sa libro niya.

*baka di pa sapat na nabanggit ko sa itaas na galing kay bob ong ang mga susunod na itatype ko kaya ginagawa ko na tong disclaimer, baka kasi ma-paraphrased plagiarism pa ako eh. nilagay ko pa naman sa itaas kanina ang address namin.*

yung isang episode ng amazing race sa africa, may isang amerikano ang nagmamadali kaya mayabang nitong tinanong ang native pulisman ng "DO YOU SPEAK ENGLISH?" na mabilis namang binara ng aprikano ng "YES! DO YOU SPEAK SWAHILI?" BOOM. pahiya ang maangas na amerikano.

nang minsan naman sa pilipinas na ung amerikanong nabanggit sa itaas. syempre amazing race pa rin ang show. nagmamadali na naman yung pinutukang amerikano kaya pinabilisan sa pinoy taxi driver ang taxi driving. aba, sabay sagot naman ng lokong pilipino ng, "Over 100 kph is prohibited here-- so we'll break the law!" BOOM. pahiya ako.

pusang gala talaga, kala ko pa naman moment na nating mga pinoy sa episode na yun para magtriumph at ipahiya ang maangas na kano, kaso baliktad ang kinalabasan, tayo ang napahiya ni manong taxi driver.

sabi nga ni bob ong sa kanyang opinion, bakit yung mga african daw malinaw na ipinamumukha sa foreigners na sa bansa nila, mga AFRICANS lang ang bida! pagdating sa lagay nating mga pilipino, tayo na ang may ari ng lupa, tayo pa rin ang tinatapakan ng mga taga-ibang bansa.

bakit nga ba ganoon?


kasi nga....


baliktad magbasa ng libro ang mga pilipino.

napakalinaw ng mensahe ng idolo kong writer sa kanyang munting puting libro na gumising sa aking munting puting buhok sa ilong, este, munting puting interes pala sa sistema ng ating bansa. sistemang bulok. bulok na society, bulok na mga batas, bulok na prinsipyo, bulok na pulisya, bulok na edukasyon, bulok na gobyerno, bulok talaga lahat - maski ikaw at ako, tayo.
pero tulad nga ng mga nasabi ko, ang kagandahan kasi ng bulok - eh pwede itong itapon at palitang ng bago. palitan ng mas bago, mas sariwa at mas malinamnam. di ba pag naririnig mo ang salitang sariwa at malinamnam, e nakakaengganyong kumain? sana ganoon din sa bansa natin, mapalitan lahat ng bago, para mas nakakaganang tumira dito.


Ang Paboritong Libro Ni Randell. Bow.

PrOduCtiOn....what?

many people say that movies can be measured with the way the actors move in front of the camera. many people say that who the actors are and what they do and what they do on camera is what makes a film a legend.

oh crap, come on, it's not just the actors! sure yeah, you could say that a movie would be better if johnny depp would star it instead of keeanu reeves or vice versa, your choice. but ain't it a bit unfair for all the people behind the camera who, despite all the hard work rolling films, carrying chairs, putting on make-up, setting up the lights and mics, prepping up the scene, controlling the crowd, are not even recognized for the fruits of their labor at all?...

production. yeah, i like the sound of that. before a film would be shot, or the actors selected, there's always the production first. if one should say that the story and the plot is the heart of the film, the actors the face, the director and writer the brain, then, suffice to say, the production would be the hands and feet of the film. hmm,,, so so true. yeah, you guessed it too? HIGH FIVE!

when you see a movie, you'd probably notice first the way the characters act; of course, it's just natural, they're like in front of the camera. lol. and although sometimes you might not notice it, the way the camera moves and the way the lights are placed in the background and all the soft, minimal and eerie sonic music during scenes add to the film-viewing experience. in saving private ryan for example, an action/drama war film about heroism and brotherhood. mostly the scenes contain action-packed shots with the actors taking fire very close to the camera. you might not have noticed it, but the way the camera moves in certain scenes are very much like the point of view of a real person. one scene for example, is in the start of the movie when the entire american platoon arrives in the shores, and they're all running for their lives to reach the harbor for cover (and kill those foreigner bastards as well, XD). you'd notice that the camera was very shaky as if you were running along with them. and better yet, at some instances you'd see some blood spatters on the camera. this style added a lot of 'thrill' to me while watching the movie, as if i was actually there, and i was really a soldier and i was taking heavy fire and i could see my comrades being shot in cold blood- and there's nothing i could do to help them. one true concept of war explicitly shown in the film, although it wasn't actually specified - war does nothing, just kill you and your comrades and everybody else and what good did it do to anyone? nothing.

one good way of telling if a movie was good is the way the production team put the realm of the film in proper order. if, even to the smallest detail you could see would seem realistic to you, then yeah, the production did one hell of a job. because that's what the production does, make the film as realistic and believable as possible. although it's true that the director and the producers are the ones who talk about the camera here and the film this and the actors that, still, it's the production's call to make it as much alike as to how the directors want it.

well, that's about pretty much all i know about productions. and need not i tell you, that shooting films is one of the best experiences there is to enjoy in life. so this is me saying chow for now!

and while you're at it, you might want to check this drawing out. i happen to belong to a small indie production with my fellow college buddies. and so far i've been included in two short videos.




TUGSH PRODUCTIONS.


King of Fighters Fan Art

Well I'm kinda bored... So I'll just show you guys some of my drawings of
King of Fighters....

First.....


Kyo Kusanagi.


Kyo is the protagonist of the game. He's been present in all versions of the games. He has an arrogant personality that often pisses off his opponents. He can wield crimson flames from his hands and uses it along with a custom Martial Art of his own clan's making - the Kusanagi Martial Arts. He is a teenager who joined the tournament in search for fame and more competent opponents on which he meets arch rival, iori Yagami. Kyo as was stated on the background story is the fighter who has won the most number of championships throughout the annual fight outs. This character has some pretty high damage moves but his form of fighting requires a lot of chain combos and even cancels if you're good at him. He's a bit difficult to use but he's got moves effective for countering.

Next is....

Iori Yagami.


Iori yagami debuted in kof '96. Iori is the, shall we say - protagonist anti-hero of the game. He is the arch enemy of Kyo. Their clans have a history since centuries ago. It's very long so to make a long story short - their clans used to be allies against a common foe, the Orochi. But the Yagami clan wanted more power so they sold their souls to the Orochi causing them to wield purple flames and to be consumed by an insatiable hunger to kill once every full moon. And so the two clans became rivals. And up to the generation of Kyo and Iori the rivalry has continued giving the two an inexplainable grudge against each other. Iori is a very swift character with pretty powerful moves similar to Kyo's. He's a basic choice and easy to use.

Third is...

Terry Bogard.



Originally from another SNK fighting game, Fatal Fury, Terry Bogard has been KOF's mascott and publicity icon. Maybe because he's one of SNK's earliest fighting game personas or maybe because he's just plain famous, I don't know. All I know is that any KOF gamer or fan can 't play the game without even having used this guy at least once. He's like the Ryu counterpart of SNK. With basic hadouken and shoryuuken moves, this dude can kick with the most minimal number of chain combos. A basic 3-hit combo can send the opponent flying to kingdom come. For a little background, Terry is a lone warrior very much like Ryu of Street Fighter and was often nicknamed 'the lone wolf'. He lost his father in a young age after having been killed by arch enemy/South Town(fictional city in the kof world) ganglord/King of Fighters tournament pioneer, Geese Howard. He has a younger brother who's also a kof character named Andy (Bogard). Terry's style is pretty much raw most similar to typical street fighting, but he's trained in several martial arts styles so he can really give an ass-whooping. He can shoot off energy waves similar to the hadouken which he calls 'power wave'.

Well... as of the moment, I can only show you three drawings. I still have several illustrations here in my collection but I haven't uploaded it yet.

I guess it's chow for now then!XD

Here's some more kof artworks....

I'm dreaming of a white.... Christmas.....

lol... actually i don't know why I'm doing this blog right now... I guess I just don't want to sleep yet behind the fact that 6 hours from now I should be prepping up for school.

Anyways... lately I guess I've been active will all sorts of on-line communities. Just 3 days ago I made an account at deviantART.com and now this!!! XD Well, it has something to do with my acads so I guess I don't have much of a choice. Plus, I guess that it's a good thing I'm doing this blog stuff. Helps me practice my english (not really good though lol) and I can say as much as I want without even having someone to talk. It's like I'm talking to myself and yet I'm not because I know that there will be those of you who'd be reading this.

Oh! By the way, you might want to check out my deviations in this link- http://andepotskie123.deviantart.com/ I really enjoy drawing and I would really appreciate it if you guys could see them. And while you're at it, you might want to leave a comment or two as well! XD

It's 1:50 now and I guess this should be enough for my very first blog entry in my whole life. haha

I'd really really really appreciate it if you could see my profile in deviantART so I guess I'll leave you guys with one illustration to motivate you people. XD



For those of you who painfully don't know this young man, he's Uzumaki Naruto!XD

Just kidding!
