"It's the law of attraction. When you believe, you achieve."

I'm bored. Bored. Extremely bored.
It's 2.55 a.m. and I'm still stuck at Aussie. It's late, and I'm not asleep yet. Wondering why?
Because my flight is at 7 something in the morning. So I plan not to sleep tonight. Ohohohohoho
Anyway, GempakStarz is publishing a new magazine, in English. It's like Malaysia's first local comic magazine in English. Damn. I'm planning to make a magazine like that in the future. I'm thinking to do.. you know, the first English comic magazine in Malaysia. I'll accept only the top artists in Malaysia to have their comics published in the magazine. But then again, in Malaysia, we don't have much original artists. There are a lot of good ones out there but only a few has original style. I mean, look around the artists around you. They have incredibly good art. They have nice anatomy and blas blas...but most of them got inspired by anime and manga and thus, having a very anime-ish style which isn't very Malaysian-ish. Frankly speaking, my style is rather anime-ish too. Well, after all, I'm an otaku. But I don't do fanarts.I suck in fanarts. The point is, I think, Malaysian artists don't have a specific style which represents... Malaysia. Take Japan for example. You can recognise that a certain picture is by a Japanese artist if there's you know.. big eyes and stuffs like this. And in Korea, they have their specific style too. And China too. And Taiwan. And the Western country.

But to have a specific style can also restrict you from improving and expanding your art. Sigh... honestly, I don't know what I'm crapping. Anyway, there are pros and cons on styling. An artist said (but I have no idea who's that) that a person should focus on being good, not original because when you're good, you're original.
