Haloween is coming!
Illustrated by Red-J from Deviantart.
Haloween is coming your way on the 31st of Oct. Lets do something that will shake the roots of the Earth! RAWR!!!
Rejected
The work submitted for LaFraise was again rejected T.T
Lets work harder next time!
Anyway, was browsing the net searching for the theme for "REJECTED" and found this cool picture in deviantart by SuchaDream. This picture really expresses the feeling of rejection very successfully. Haha. I guess if i really feel rejected i would also act as the same way as the girl in the picture. I like the way it is black and white. So monotone that i feel kind of emo.

Dark Matter Concept
Yo! Came out with a concept of having dark characters running loose. Will repetitively put the girl girl in.
For example the snail, the swing. bla bla. might include one with her crying or angry. and some dark mysterious creatures which will in the end be composited in a balance layout :)
So as you can see. i might make them in black and white format and thus create a very contrasting feel!!

zOzO
ZoZo
I added a little element of chinese zombie to it. But i added spirits around him to make him a 'spirit kid' from hell?!. Design of this character is really difficult. Hope you all can give suggestion to it!!
His character is happy-go-lucky. Able to have the ability to control spirit, he is able to escape from the ''hell chaser'' who are chasing him.
I have not add colours and think will scrap the idea of making him to an illustration cause there are no strong concept. T.T

Mashimaro
WIKI:
The original Mashimaro cartoons are full of toilet humour, and some of this is also to be found in the merchandise. Mashimaro himself is often portrayed with a plunger stuck to his head. In contrast to other hyper-cute iconic characters, such as Hello Kitty, Mashimaro is portrayed as a bit of a thug, who is not above using violence to impose his will on others.
Mashimaro (마시마로) is a Korean fictional character who resembles a fat rabbit, created by Kim Jae In (김재인).

South African couple killed after being hit by train while having sex
A South African couple died after being hit by a freight train while having sexual intercourse on railroad tracks. The couple, who are yet to be identified, were having intercourse on the tracks in the Mpumalanga Province of the African country. The engineer yelled warnings at the couple to move, but according to him, they ignored them. South Africa’s national freight railway is called Transnet.
The man, in his thirties, was dismembered and died at the scene. The woman, in her twenties, was transported to a local hospital but later died from her injures.
An investigation is taking place to determine if the woman was being raped or if she was having intercourse out of her own free will. One witness stated that she may have been a prostitute.

LOL. This is so funny. What is happening to the world?

Build A Bear Workshop - Create Own Bear
Build-A-Bear Workshop is the largest create-your-own animal service, with the other companies in the business consisting of regional and/or locally-owned operations. The company's motto is "Where Best Friends Are Made."
I think letting the consumer to customise their own product has a very good market, i think any product even like bags and shoes already exist. This is because it lets the user to have their own distinct product while they pay the same price as others. One of the example similar to our idea is Build-The -Bear-Workshop.
tintin
The artist is very smart to create a very simple looking tintin(main character) while others character look more complicated. This will make us focus on tintin as he is simpler and humans tend to look at simple stuffs. Brillant.
Metoyou Bear
Wiki says:
" Tatty Teddy (also known as Me To You Bears) is the brand name of a collection of teddy bears made by the Carte Blanche Greetings Ltd. They are often found in Clintons Cards. They were first created in 1987 and appeared in their current guise in 1995. A number of products are available related to Tatty Teddys including teddies, figurines, cards, rugs,mugs and wedding accessories. The bears even have their own fanlisting site where 'owners' can sign up for the latest news about them. "
Tatty Teddy is quite a successful merchandise brand because it has a strong story that touches other people's heart. Hope we can learn alot from them :)

Toph Bei Fong (北方 托芙) , Avatar the Last Airbender
Toph Bei Fong from Avatar, she is so far my favorite character i ever met, in terms of every aspects.
Despite the girlish look here in one episode o Avatar:The Last Airbender Toph portray, she has a tomboyish character. Though, she is blind, she stands up on her own feet and defeat numerous character
She have a lot of unique expressions and stances which is design for her. Also, a special fighting style adapted from real martial arts : Chu Gar Southern Praying Mantis Kung Fu. Making her even more unique. She also have her own unique attitude problem! LoL....
Beside that, the designer makes her lexpress like a kid at times which is totally different from her characteristic, yet it make sense to it too, she is just a little girl, which will feel sad and happy and show it out without hiding, no matter how strong she is.
Somehow, i just got attached and feel for Toph and i find this character is amazing and i love her a lot throughout the series. Also, i also enjoy seeing her in her show using her kung fu earthbending and fighting scene. She look cute too especially when she wear a dress as normally she is a tomboy who act like a boy.
