Lets talk about MYTH

I think this is the second time i will talk about my first selfpublished postcard book, MYTH, but now i want to talk few about reason and discuss about this book interior.

Reason why i made this postcard book? Basically its because thought Indonesia have a lot of interesting mythical creature, not much people know them, both International people or Indonesian people themself. You knew about the famous Pegasus, Griffon, Kraken, Orochi, etc, but i bet you don't know much about Lembuswana, Ebu Gogo or Singa.
To introduce this to International people, i made this postcard book and selling at Singapore convention, and then by order, i started to accepting local order.
First time, i'm planned to made this into book, but i hesitated and wondering how well this book will be accepted outside Indonesian market, that why i converted this to postcard book with more simple content for trial and error.
But someday, i hope i can published a book with more pages about Indonesian Mythical Creature.

The Cover

I like red, and i think red colour is pretty outstanding colour and people will easily notice this colour from far.
In first edition (right), i used Hanacaraka, you can read it as "Dongeng", Indonesian word that have same meaning as Myth. But to be truth i don't ask person who fluent to Hanacaraka to do beta of my writing since i only used digital font in photoshop.
So to avoid a confusion if someday my postcard book reached people who understand Hanacaraka better, i changed Hanacaraka letter to "Postcard book" (left).

I provide few sample inside the postcard book:
Inside 01


Left is index page, you can see the content of this postcard book, there will be 7 creatures included in this book.

Inside 02


As you can see, left side is the back cover of the postcard, its include information of each creature beside postcard design. Right side is other front cover, its not the front cover of left picture (left side has information about Singa, while right picture show Nyi Roro Kidul art).

And the last, bonus section.
Always included a gift for buyer, in first printing that i sold at Singapore, i included mini pin that have fish bone printed on it.
I planned to do different thing for second print, so i made a bookmark. Its also have fish's bone shape like the pin :)


Why fish? its my trademark now :D

Mobile Game 02

Another Pixel post, i hope no one bored with all this pixel art post lol. Today i posted another pixel based mobile game again. This game requested by some mobile content company and already released, a puzzle based game.


Pardon for the watermark again. As you can see the title of this game is Gardenia Song, to put it simple, this is puzzle game using music tone as base :D.

One thing i like about this game, i have a chance to draw several character's face for dialogue scene, like dating simulation game LOL (click image for bigger size).

And this is finished image during interaction scene, there three characters will appears on it including the elf and the forest Goddess.


Game play, i guess its about 8-10 level? i just realized that this game is pretty hard to play, probably i put too much effort on designing complicated things but not realized how difficult that game. Someday, i hope i can fix this game....


Love the main female character that i create here and only her who has a name, her name is Cassis. I liked her design very much and re-draw her twice, and this is one of them (also post this on my DA page)


Beside the difficulty on this game, Gardenia Song definitely one of my favorite game that i've been created because i have a chance to create a characters that i like, all of them, and then using my favorite colour palette. If there any chance someday i want to remake this.

Pixel Art

Lets talk more about pixel art, i know pixel art when i started to working at mobile game pixel base industry. Before that? i don't even know what is pixel art.
There so many people makes awesome pixel art, you cannot take easy on this kind of thing because its need patience, a lot especially when you putting so much details.
Its tiring, need a lot of practise, but if you could do it better, the result will be awesome.

This is a few project that i made, job offer from a friend. Sorry for the watermark, its kinda annoying, but i need to do this so nobody steal it (i don't know if there anyone who want to steal this but its good to be more alert, right?)


The theme is Halloween, i think this one is the biggest pixel background that i ever made.
Not only that i also made few animated pixel like this:




Its only 2 frame animation, easy one :). I got 3 frame animation pixel but when i tried to post here, i dunno why it not worked....

FlooD! Kopi Keliling Online Exhibition 2012

Made this art for KopiKeliling Online Exhibition 2012.

*sigh* I made this art hurried, because i mistaken the deadline date 22 January as 21 January, how silly....
I like this concept, but i'm not that satisfied... there something i can add more in this picture, like house's details and adding more vehicle and more. I hope i can add it in next drawing...
At least i tried, choose or not choosen that was later matter.
My concept is about "Flood that always happen in every 5 years at my city (Jakarta)", that was the thing that made me worried in 2012.

Keris Mpu Gandring

Made this for my friend's book about tale of Ken Arok and Ken Dedes, the mythical Keris that made by Mpu Gandring, never complete.
My friend book theme is hope, but i'm not really dig a hope about Arok and Dedes because i think both of them is not have romantic relationship at all. So i made this darker version of hope, greed.

More info about this Keris legend, you can read it here
i wonder if this keris still out there, who own it?

Mobile Game 01

Because this game already published i think its alright to put few images here.
Pixel Art based mobile game, this is not only game that i've done. I think i will make another post about my pixel arts :)

This game is puzzle game, the basic is same with tetris but this time you need matched pattern block to get rid them from the tube. As always Game Over if the blocks fulled your candy tank^^. Easy Game.


Splash Screen~~


(click for larger image)
A few Menu Screen, Information screen before you play so you know the obstacle that will appears, also Game Play (forgot to mention when you hit same block, not only you will get rid that block but also hit the score to gain highest score each level), and Game Over :D

This one is my favorite project that i ever done <3
