WNxH: Face Problem

28th November 2010's comic strip is out!


Yup, this Sunday's strip is out. Xiiao asks Faelry to make him immortal after he recalled about Faelry thanks to the news about "Secrets to Being Immortal."

WNx Homestay: Face Problem

You probably realized that there is something about the colour scheme for Xiiao and Faelry that you probably had seen it somewhere before. Yup, you're right, Xiiao has Hamtaro's colours and Faelry has Bubbles' colours.

WNxH: Secrets of Being Immortal

Again, this Sunday's comic strip is out!


I know how Rail has been able to resurrect himself and even change the sides he's facing and stuff like that. In WNxH, objects simply have the ability to change wherever they face because they actually have no expression. They are given "life" through magic.

WNxH: Consequences

The comic strip? Is out??


For those of you who visited my blog these few weeks on every Sunday, you must have noticed that the strips are actually not released on Sunday! Why the hell is it here suddenly?

Well...lately, I've been working on a 2D coloured animation project, so I am quite busy actually. I only realized that I haven't draw my comic strips when it's midnight, so I stay up late and draw them, and post them up as Sunday's post. If I couldn't finish drawing, then I would post them up on Monday and apologize...well you get the idea!

WNx Homestay: Consequences

Here's a simple strip with some moral values? in the story...although it might not sound like a moral value, but it's true I guess. We should learn from it.

WNxH: Fund-Raising Movie

Sunday's strip is out.


Yeah, I was late in posting this strip because I went for a dinner at my cousin's wedding. Anyways, here is the strip.

WNx Homestay: Fund-Raising Movie

Yup, it's coloured now because I have a tablet. I'll draw comics using tablet now, and it may be coloured or black-and-white depending on my mood / how I want it to be.

WNxH: FFUU

Sorry for publishing the comic strip late again. This is for last Sunday.


I apologize for always publishing the comic strip late. I have a lot of work in college recently, so it really takes away my time.

This is about Freakzero trying to get revenge on Lulu who fired a laser on him last time.

WNxH: Imma Firin' Mah Lazer

This comic strip is for last Sunday's. I didn't publish a strip last Sunday.



Alright, this strip is inspired by Evo. He googled "imma chargin" and Google suggested "imma chargin malaysia." Malaysia sounds pretty much like MAH LAZER so he suggested this idea for this strip! Enjoy.

WNxH: Vomit Lag

It's Sunday and it's time for WNx Homestay!


I apologize for not giving much attention to my cute little comic strip series, so here is it. This strip is about my L4D Map Project in which I had a problem with Boomer's vomit. Every time he vomits, there is this annoying lag. Only some players experience this though, most other players do not.

WNx Homestay: Vomit Lag

That's all folks! My map is near completion! A lot of bugs and leaks have been removed. The annoying vomit lag is still there, and there are leaks in my Weapon System which I have no idea how to fix them. Will be releasing the map soon enough. Stay tuned.

WNx Homestay BLEACH OPENING 12 [Pencil + Photoshop] HD

My animation project is finally completed!



Here's the video:

You can view in a larger resolution by going to this original link.

This is a video done by RailKill a.k.a Lemoney, using pencil-drawn images to create an animation as close as Bleach's 12th Opening. As it is pencil-drawn, the sketchy-papery feeling is maintained and it will be black and white.

Inspired by Teh777's Maple Bleach [Opening 12] video. This short animation clip is done using my own pencil drawings/sketches and photoshopped images only. I don't have a tablet, so I drew on paper and scanned them in. It was really tedious that way, but oh well. The whole animation was done by myself with the help of the following items.



Materials:
Pencil
Compass
Ruler
Paper
Eraser
Canon Pixma MP150 (Scanner)


Software:
Adobe Photoshop CS5
Adobe Flash CS5
SonyVegas (thanks to Teh777)


Others:
NagelSeries' Clouds Photoshop Brushes [Free]





Time Taken To Complete: 2 weeks+
Animation Speed: 12 FPS
Total Animation Frames: 1101
Actual Pencil Drawn Frames: 235






WNx Homestay is a comic created by me. All characters designed in the comic are based on real-life characters who played CabalSEA who are in the WarriorNation guild a couple of years back. Character designs may have similarity to other people's designs as they were all very simple shapes which can be learned almost anywhere. WNx stands for WarriorNation.



It is clearly stated that this animation clip is done based on Bleach's 12th Opening with WNx Homestay Comic characters. The comic strips can be seen/found at my blog here.

Poster: What The Heck?!

Heh, look what I found!



Last year, Suzan Khoo asked me to make a magazine cover for them to participate in the Star NiE thing. So I made this, which actually looks more like a poster!

Their magazine is titled "What The Heck?"

Since they have such a title, I decided WHAT THE HECK would have a big question mark. So I got the idea for the poster. Then I gave it to them and they add the titles, highlights and more to make their magazine cover.




They won Pizza Hut vouchers! So Suzan gave me one of these epic vouchers for a free regular pizza, awwww. But when my family and I went there, we got summoned 'cuz we can't get a parking and had to park somewhere by the road and that made us pay more than that! >:(

WNxH: Befriend

This week's comic strip is out!


Alright, the fight's never-ending if they do not declare peace. So Eggy decided to share places to stay instead of fighting for it! Oh, and since I saw the Bleach plagiarism fail in Evo's blog...I decided to make this one like that too, just for fun...only for this strip.

Behold, the new Nick Simmons, ME!! Nick Wongmons! For this strip at least.

WNx Homestay: Befriend

And this is the Bleach part I "plagiarized" for fun from...

Bleach 404 - Deicide 6, Page 10.

Enjoy!

WNxH: Wallpaper!

The first WNx Homestay wallpaper! Based on Ohmchii the Lolcat comic strip.



Special thanks to Evo who helped a lot in defining the lines and putting in some great colouring into it. I did the initial lineart, colouring and shading. Evo helped to bring out something better, and these are a few pictures we came up with which you can use as your wallpaper. You can see which one you like!




Lineart Only (Uncoloured)














Finished (Coloured)





























They aren't very nice...but oh well, it's a start for this comic series. ^_^

WNxH: Sniping Warfare

WNx Homestay is back! Visit every Sunday for the comic strips!


Alright, WNx Homestay has been stopped at around December last year, but now it's back. So with the usual old characters, it's still the same, and there will be more coming. I still don't plan to put the newer characters any sooner, but just enjoy it for now.

WNx Homestay: Sniping Warfare

As the name suggest, it has something to do with sniping, and also Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2! Recently I have been addicted to it, and so I just wanted to include a scene of RailKill being owned by someone... yeah.


For MW2 players, you probably might have noticed...Rail is holding a Dragunov and Evo is holding the Intervention. =)
