The Angkot

Again, I am very busy this month that I haven't got something new to be posted here.
actually I have one... but I have to keep it as a secret for now. Don't worry, I'll post it here sooner or later.
So, let me share you my long time ago animation: The Angkot.
I made this animation for Nonzetflash animation contest.
I didn't win, but I kinda proud of this animation, for this is my first animation which use my originally-made BGM.
The BGM title is Nyoi, to be exact Nyoi two. Because I thought the sound I'm using is sounded like "Nyoi-Nyoi". (Nyoi has no meanings at all, in case you are wondering)
I'm still learning to make a better BGM, I am nothing compared to those cool sound engineers :D

you may watch the animation from my DA here

Just found out about odosketch few days ago.
I think I'm in love with this online application <3

How to make bird origami

I almost forget the main reason I made this blog. Like the tag line in my banner, this is used to be a unnecessary blog with a lot of unnecessary guide. So here is my newest unnecessary guide, I hope there will be more to come :D

flash back

I'm a person who look at the past.
I don't have anything to post yet. It's a new month, I think I need to update my blog. Since this blog is not dedicated for my blah-blah-blah things, I think I'd rather publish my past animation.

check this out

I made this animation in 2007, for a competition, held by a University. I won the second place. The theme was product promo, and I chose microwave popcorn for my theme.

Well I won't write or talk about my animation's concept. I already did that nervously during the presentation for the competition. instead, I will tell you about the microwave popcorn literally.

That time I was craving for microwave popcorn so bad. Microwave popcorn are expensive, and I was barely survive my college days by my allowance only. (yeah, I didn't pay my college fees, but a college girl need a lot of things right?)

So the first thing I bought with the prize money was Microwave Popcorn with caramel. It was the very best microwave popcorn caramel I ever eat. Bought a microwave popcorn by making animation about microwave popcorn :D

comic strip

I've wrote about my comic strip last year, well, here's the second part. Click the picture for a better view.
there's no 3rd or 4th etc tough :(

and by the way the first picture was the artwork for the comic. Right to left :Squiddy, Callypso, Picasso
well the Picasso appearance is kinda changing

Go Green!

Lately, people talking about "go green". Every event held with go green-theme got very good responds. Honestly, I am not really concern about this go green stuff, because I like pink.

hmm... sounded like a stupid reason. Okay, I'll change my reason. I am not really concern about this go green stuff, but doesn't mean I don't care at all. I was accidentally involved with a go green event in the church. Yes, in the church. I am not a really religious person, so it was a double accident. I was just helping my high school friend in making a photography contest for this go green event. I didn't even care about the go green theme, but I thought that event was a very good event. Too bad I was just helping the photography contest comittee.

Before the event, I was consciously participating in a Global Warming Animation contest, held by Global Solutions. I made a flash animation, mother nature's love in 2 days only. But it took about a very long time to realize that I miss-spelled "plant" to "plan".

Last year I was participating for another global warming animation, held by Da Ai TV, a local television in Jakarta Indonesia. The title is "Small things I'd do for the world", unfortunatelly the sub is in Bahasa Indonesia. The story tell you step by step to go green. Again, I'm not a go green person, I was only do 30% from those steps mentioned on the animation.

I thought it's a little ironic, that people like me making animation about go green. because the process in making the animation is no green at all. Computer was used almost 24 hours a day? Countless paper for the sketch?

Sajen

It's been a while since the last post. Yes, not a while, it's been a long time since the last post. I have many things to write and post, and it is hard for me to stay focus on one topic, so let me get to the point

I won! Hurray! I won!!!!!

(Is it too "to the point"?)

On 2009, The Indonesian ministry of Industry held an animation contest for the first time. And luckily, I won the third prize in the professional category. When I said "luckily", it means I am truly lucky.

Wait a minute, am I a pro ? and right now in my head, I am screaming , "NOOOOO! Are you kidding??"

There were 3 categories for the contest, students, college students, and pros. I am not a student. I still have a "college student card", but I am not a college student anymore, I never paid the tuition since the 3rd year. So I wrote a statement on the CD, "I am not a student, nor a pro"

I have been working as an animator for 2 years, but I don't think I am a pro. It is different between making animation and being animator. I got paid by being an animator even when I'm not making animation, but I'm not always get money when making animation.

Hey... maybe I should not admit that I am not a pro. It is bad if I want to get a new job. So forget what you read... forget what you read.... :D

I am a pro, at least I have a signature from the ministry of industry which proof that I am a pro!

hmm... just in case you are curious about the animation, you may check it on:

Abby The Aristocratic Pig

Here come my latest amigurumis

Squiddy in amigumi version

Squiddy is one of my favorite character that I made. Yup, he is on the top banner in this blog too.
As you can see, he is a boy, not a squid. His real name is Edward, but the other call him Squiddy, because his hair is like squid's tentacles.
I created him on 2002 for the "seventh ocean" comic, but until now, I still haven't finished the real comic. (Oops!). At the end of 2007, someone offering me to make comic strip for a local magazine. So I make a spin-off of "Seventh Ocean", and then Squiddy got a local name, Ujang Kribo ( a pretty corny name, which means Curly boy).
Now, I made an amigurumi version of Squiddy, I call him Akang (which means older brother). I took almost a month, just to make his hair (one by one), I told to myself that Squiddy's price will be at least 200 euros. Because it took a lot of my patience, and almost makes me crazy. And now the head is heavier than any part of his body.
However, I never mean to sell any of my amigurumi.
I'm proud of him, because maybe i will not make any amigurumi with those kind of hair again.
The upper image is the comic version of the amigurumi Squiddy, and the one below is the comic for the magazine.
more?

V A C A T I O N

Just in case you are looking for me, I will be on a vacation for this whole month (from June to July). I won't be able to receive or replied your e-mails, and I probably will not able to use my cell phone too.

Mon Ami Pierrot

I don't remember many things from my childhood memories, especially when I was under 4 years old. But I remember that I like a song, which title is "Au Claire de La Lune". I only remember the melody and the first line of the lyrics: "Au claire de la lune, mon ami pierrot" It means "Oh, bright moon, my friend, Pierrot".
Maybe that was why I always wanted a Pierrot doll, ever since I saw the pattern on the "crochet book". The Crochet book was in French, I never learned to read French language, that's why I can't make the doll by myself. I asked my mother and my sister to make it for me, but they only promised without ever make me a pierrot doll.
After I graduated and started working, I have so many spare-time that I used to re-learn crochetting. I started making amigurumi, and finally I make my own Pierrot in amigumi style.
It really doesn't look like the Pierrot on the French Crochet Book. The real Pierrot is in gothic style, and the size is approximately 10 times from my Pierrot. But still he is "Mon Ami Pierrot".

Introducing: Bonny Bunny

Finally after so many months, I am introducing Bonny the amigurumi-bunny girl!

I made it using the amineko pattern ( yes that famous amigurumi pattern), but in the end I change the ears and the tail, so it doesn't look like a cat anymore.

I change the eyes too, because, you see, the big eyes are my trademark. It makes her looks more creepy and more like a rat than a rabbit because her color is black. So I made her the pink-dress which was based on some pattern in a French pattern book. Well of course, I am not fully understand French, so I mix some pattern from different doll. And I think it still worked! I like her that I bring her on my bag around the town after I finished her.

She was my third, also my second amigurumi, because I haven't finished my first amigurumi. Maybe other people won't spend so many time just to make a simple amigurumi like Bonny. I am to lazy, and too tired of my primary job that I hardly get some time to sit and crochetting.

Welcome!!!

Welcome to Zuperdzigh's blog! This blog was made about one and a half years ago, but somehow I haven't got a time to arrange it. And now, I think it is safe to say that this Blog is relaunched, with new contents and new concept. This dump blog now transformed into my portfolio-blog. (Yes, you may say this is Zuperdzigh Portfolio).

Some people said that it is stupid to make a portfolio in a blog, that other may steal or use your design without your permission. But I think it would be such an honor if someone want to steal my design, that means my design is good. Yet, I admitted that having someone else take profit from stealing my work is suck. So please don't use any of this blog contents without my permission or you will have diarrhea for one year straight. (Yes there is a curse for every thief!)

Lastly, please enjoy this blog, adore my work and please leave a comment. I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you.
