A new addiction

I have a new addiction (other than Dota 2), and that is Snapchat!!!!!

I've been seeing a lot A LOT of my friends use this app. At first I don't really know what it is, what's the benefit of it etc. Karma got me well (purposely used the wrong term lolol).

IT IS HELLA FUN OMG

I get to see updates from friends, share picts and videos. It's like Instagram but more personal. I'm a visual person so I do love these apps.

If you have one, please add me!

My Snapchat username is the same as my Instagram; charonmncr.

That's all! BYE GUYS!!!

(I'm playing Sims 3 before I work 😆)

My New Addiction...

I have a very bad addiction right now...

On June 16th, my cousin and older brother introduced me to this addiction. Apparently, many people around the world are addicted to this as well, especially the Chinese and Russians. Today marks the two month monthsary between me and this addiction.

You know what? It's Dota 2.


I am soooo addicted with this game but I am still good with maintaining my schedule, especially when university has just started.

If you're reading this and you're a Dota player too, my first hero was Drow Ranger (whom I dislike now because she's just too squishy >.<). My favorite heroes (my Dota friends know this lol), is Mortret the Phantom Assassin. I love my Mortret. I also love Riki and Techies (hate me now, I give you my permission). My new love is for Death Profet, so easy kill with her :DDD Oh, and Queen of Pain!!

Dragon Knight is also easy to use, but his base attack speed is a bit troublesome for me. Shadow Fiend and Night Stalker are my personal favorite, because my cousins and brother; my teammate, don't use them a lot. But I have to say, they are a bit tricky to use. Especially Nevermore... OMG what the hell DX Another personal favorite is Lifestealer, but again, still learning...

The names above are all carry heroes. Don't I ever play as a support you asked? Yes, and it is Vengeful Spirit. She's by far my favorite support. Maybe because she also can carry *evil grin*.

My Dota friends are all boys and their reactions were like " YOU PLAY DOTA!? BUT YOU'RE A GIRL!!!". Girls can play games too! Especially for me, a tomboy muhahahahahaha.

The first thing that attracts me with Dota is the character design. I love the costumes and color palette, so beautiful. And I guess I just love RPG games (I know that Dota is not RPG, it's MMORPG I guess?), but still, I love this game and I am addicted. Even my lecturer bans me from playing Dota XD


As an artist, I want to create as many as possible, as a practice for me too. I have done Shadow Fiend and Night Stalker for my friend (commission) and I. I've done both on an agenda :) It's on my deviantart profile so be sure to check it out!

I'm in that phase where I'm too lazy to put watermark on photos for my blog lolol. I'm making my personal watermark right now, so stay tune!

Alive

Hello. Surprisingly, I'm still alive and have abandoned this blog for months. I will try to blog some more with a proper content in the future.

Am currently blogging from my phone. Just want to share how I feel right now. Well, I do feel like s*** atm... Dizzy and heavy head. Jakarta is blazing hot these past few days and heat stroke hit me fast. So sad cause tomorrow is Eid Adha and I want to draw as much as possible.

Aside from that, I want to make my youtube channel more alive by putting a proper content. Maybe reviewing art tools that I like to use? Anything art related I guess. What do you think? Any suggestions?

A little venting; I am someone who really hates to lose. A bit selfish, something I've been working on to tune down.

What do you think about popularity? People around me have been competing to be the number one in everything, to be the IT girl. For someone who hates to lose, this event actually makes me want to step away from the spotlight and lock myself in my room. This has been bothering me for so long.

I don't even know why do I feel like this, maybe because of my always want to win trait. Very annoying to have this feeling and I still don't know how to fix it.

I like to be the quiet person and keep my friends close and work my way up by myself slowly but steady and sure.

Welp, better stop venting. Anybody here plays Dota 2?

Say Cheese!

Hi folks! I'm back with a new blog spot. Sorry to be away for so long.

How many years has it been since I last drawn my OCs? I'm back with my babies this time, Charon, with her love interest, Keres. what do you guys think? :) I'm gonna put it on my shop hehehe.

A POP of Greek

I'm here with the newest update from my art & design life. I am currently making an illustration for my Illustration Design class. We have to make an illustrated book that contains min 8 illustrations and 10 spreads. I have decided to redesign a book I bought years ago called Kitab Monster, written by Anasrullah. Here's a quick look on the sketches.

I wanted to focus more on the least known monsters. But I still can't neglect the popular ones *smirk*

Meet Harpy. I used my own expression as the reference (sorry, no photo haha).

I tried inking a sketch to see what it will look like. I have to submit the mock up to the lecturer tomorrow. Be sure to present it 100%. Mine's not 100% but a sketch for an illustration mock up is acceptable *fingers crossed*

The title says a POP because I did my mani to give me a boost, or somewhat like that... These are the dark times for us students *hides* Spring never visited Jakarta, that's why I bring her to my nails. I am currently obsessed with my new nail polish from Maybelline Color Show. I bought Coral Craze and Blackcurrant. I love pastel colors. I tried to make dots with a Q-tip, dipped with Revlon's Top Fast in Jaded. My top coat is out so I'm keeping them "naked" for some times lol.

I guess I just want to show off my photography skill? Lol

Typography 2 Final Project - The Wonder

It is that time of the year again... Final projects!! Gladly I have finished one project which I have been wanting to share with you. For my final project for the Typography 2 class was to create our own typeface, combining an element from a selected country. I chose Greek. My concept was to create a very strong typeface, yet people will notice that it is Greek (asked by the lecturer). I was greatly inspired by Disney's movie, Hercules. 

We also have to create the application for the typeface. Greece produce a lot of spices, therefore I chose olive oil, oregano leaves, and a red wine. I replaced the original labels with my own creation.

Hello guys! I managed to spend some time to upload this humble blog in the midst of my final projects :') I will be sure to update you about the progress etc later when I'm done ;)

Soo, what did I do today? We have a social project that we need to conduct for our Character Building class. We decided to give food to the homeless people that we encounter on the street. It is such a heart warming experience and it teaches us to be kind to everybody, not just our family and friends, but EVERYBODY. Spreading kindness is a very beautiful thing and you will feel happy seeing their smile :D


After we did the project, we took a break at a local park (more like a sport stadium...), because our first plan was to find some homeless people there. We found one, but since there were too many cops, we decided to give the food to three stray cats XD But we did give some to a poor lady.

I managed to take some good shots of the cat. Enjoy!

Somehow, I managed to capture the loneliness... 

Free food! This cat took the the chicken ONLY (lol)

After the white cat left, these two came sniffing around on the food.

Left: "C'mon dude you gotta try this! It's free and delish!"
Right: "I dunno if I like it..."

"Fine, might as well eat the whole thing"

"Fine, I'll enjoy some massage from these humans"

Have a good day! :)

Confusion Hit Me Hard

Hiya folks! Been so long since my last post... I've been very busy with my uni (FYI, I take Art & Design major and let me tell you, it's fun yet hard at the same time). Doing uni projects and side projects. Life has been wonderful for me :)

I have decided to revive this blog, to share with you my ups and down and everything that is related with my major. I hope that I can help someone out there with this blog. I really hope you will enjoy :)


The thing that hit me hard right now is actually my future job. Since I was little, I have always fancied illustrators. Because I grew up watching animes and reading mangas, the root is pretty deep and I cannot cut it down THAT easily. Even though I study graphic design, I don't really feel the 'umph'... Don't get me wrong, I take this major with zero knowledge about design. FYI, design and drawing is two different things. Design is when you make something for mass production, thus making it comfortable, up to date with the latest trend, visually attractive, yet has a very deep deep deeeeeeepppp concept behind it. Drawing is... drawing. It's not made for mass production, but for the artists' personal use (maybe his hobby, etc). Despite it (design) being THAT hard, I do enjoy doing every steps because I like to develop my own idea into a concept. What kind of story should I tell to the people? In what way? It's like a storytelling.

The real problem is actually the fact that I want to be an illustrator. But as mentioned above, my roots in the modern Japanese culture is pretty deep, and rumour has it that not ALL company will hire you if you have manga/anime based illustrations in your portfolio, especially working abroad. I think I haven't mentioned this to you before, but the two people who inspire me most are Tim Burton and Olivia Rose. I combined their technique with mine. I also like add an abstract element to it, making it somewhat like a surrealism art.

Right now I'm just so confused, up to the fact that I've been thinking to change my style. But I don't know if that is a good thing because this is who I am, take it or leave it.

...Or is it good to think like that? >.<


Anyway, Happy belated New Year!
