    Oh yes, mighty savior Superman vs the human devil Batman. Zack Snyder got balls. He makes a comic book movie like a comic book should be.

  • Face Simplification Process

    Man, the process of creating a work method to have consistent face quality is hard. If anything is off, the character ends up looking like someone else completely, or looks too young, or too old. At least I got the “Asian” nose correct. Only reference is myself.

  • Fish Flavor Soda, Mmm-Mm!!!

    An idea I had for my upcoming sci-fi story. Fish soda wouldn’t necessary be a mouthful of sea water. It’s the fresh essence of fish, natural or artificial. It may very well be cold soup type of thing like V8 tomato juice. And because it’s sci-fi speculation, because of ignorant consumer complaints, the fish “odor” is engineered away. Of course, the real gimmick is that in the future, no one knows what fish tastes like anymore, so they just drink this artificial gunk and it’s quite popular flavor.

  • Optimizing Web Pages For Ultra-fast Downloading

    By Chongchen Saelee

    I want to share with you my way of optimizing web page downloads at fast speeds. It seems webpage technology is always evolving, so if you want to take advantage of some of the improvements, you have to stay informed. For example, HTML5 is looking to be very effective version of HTML. So the first thing you want to do is take advantage of that. All my modern webpages are declared HTML5 now. You do so like this, as the very first line in your HTML source:

    <!doctype html>

    Because with HTML5, you can take advantage of some new features which I’ll explain in the following parts. (more…)

  • Secrets of Bitcoin By Satoshi Nakamoto

    By Chongchen Saelee

    When I first conceived Bitcoin for my high school assignment, I had to come up with a way to simulate existing financial system or at least what I thought it was. So back in the late 1990s, people were already using credit cards (a kind of non-tangible money) but there was very little integration or user-friendly interface with the Internet. Then PayPal came along which was pretty close to “Internet money”, but was obviously just an exchange between existing currencies. (more…)

    Really refining my skills in Manga Studio 5. My weakness is in character consistency, just don’t look the same every time I draw each of them. But it has to do with rushing. But I’m sure if I went back and redraw over this page, I could make it look even more polished. Also, straight lines seem to make things look cleaner. Look at that establishing shot with the 2-point perspective. Impressive, huh? The lines have character. Manga Studio’s perspective ruler tool is impressive.

    In 2525, you can pay robots with bitcoins, aka “commands by humans”. It’s really technical (eye roll).

  • Father’s Day Stuff: Baby Drawings

    In honor of my father and uncle, I’d thought I’d honor Father’s Day with these drawings from my uncle’s kids that they drew while I babysitted them between the ages of 0 to 6 years old.
