'Crawl' DMC

Yesterday after watching such a cool/brilliant theatrical movie, Avatar at the e@Curve (formerly known as Cineleisure), wifey and I went to Suncomic looked for any unusual anime that we could possibly have over there. After wandering around in the shop I found something that really caught our attention; something unusual, bizarre and my instinct said that this one would be the hilarious at its best. Without further thinking I asked wifey’s opinion of the anime, luckily she kinda likes it… “how about we give it a try?”, she said. With a huge skeptical point of view clouding above ourselves, we finally bought it with doubt, “would it be a good one or would it be the worst anime that we’ve ever watched in our life?”.

Beyond expectation, after watching the first episode (of overall 12 episodes) we find that this anime is the best Death/Black Metal spoof ever made so far.

Hence the name, DMC or Detroit Metal City; might be a spinoff of the Detroit Rock City, but it’s not that and it is more than that to be sure. More intense... off limit.

Oh... that one? Deth… Dethklok who? They are too limp to be compared with this one, to be exact.

With the extreme exaggerated attitudes of every DMC band members and the razor sharp harsh spoken/minded of the Death Records’ owner/manager, this anime never failed to make us laugh out loud for the entire night… resulting us a quite late attendance for today. But it’s worth it. Hehe.

I suggest you guys, Death/Black Metal enthusiasts should give this anime a shot… surely you will never be disappointed. But let me remind/mention again that this anime is a spoof, so don’t take it too seriously. And I’m positively thought this anime would be able to tickle every metalheads out there. If you can’t, I’m really sorry for you for being a serious ass that you are. I truly am.


Now, further your reading on the different versions of DMC:
• Detroit Metal City: The Manga.
• Detroit Metal City: The Anime.
• Detroit Metal City: The Live-Action.

And you can read the scanlation over here.

Highly recommended.


Also check out these Japanese Death/Black Metal acts:
• Sabbat
• Sigh
• Gallhammer
• Infected Malignity

manifestation of a serious drone...

You have no works to do for the entire month? And you want some droning repetitive monotonous eardrums mayhem to listen/concentrate to? Check this out, click bullofheaven.com for the manifestation.


This is a hypnotically soothing and a sort of serious ass longest drone torture (perhaps can cause obsessive compulsive disorder) yet relaxing/stimulating aural atmosphere I've ever encountered. Go figure it out. Experience it yourself. I mean it.

perang yang jahat no. 3

Ilustrasi yang dijanjikan sudah siap pagi semalam kira-kira pukul 1:30 am. Aku agak berpuas hati dengan hasilnya. Dah lama aku tak buat lukisan yang teliti macam ni... err, bagi aku ni dah boleh dikira teliti la. Makan hari punya lukisan. Biasanya aku boleh siapkan satu-satu lukisan yang bersaiz macam ni dalam satu hari saja. Tapi yang ini makan masa 10 hari. Aku guna teknik stippling (atau pun pointillism) dengan menggunakan pen teknikal Unipin saiz 0.1 mm untuk pembayang dan tona. Aku juga ada beli saiz 0.8 mm, tapi tak guna pun. Untuk lakaran kasar aku guna pensel Staedtler lumograph graphite saiz 2B.

Aku guna pen teknikal dan pensel tu sebab aku selesa, tiada sebab lain. Banyak juga aku melukis dengan pen teknikal/pensel jenis ini. Namun selalunya aku lebih selesa guna pena mata bola (ball point pen lah!). Secara jujur aku beritahu di sini, peralatan sebenarnya tidak 100% menjanjikan hasil yang memuaskan; semuanya bergantung kepada kesungguhan dan kebolehan mengendali peralatan terbabit. Bakat? Itu perkara kedua, yang boleh dikatakan sebagai hasil janaan perkara utama tadi. Maksud aku, bakat boleh dijana dengan adanya minat. Minat adalah perkara utama. Lepas ada minat baru datang usaha. Usaha pula perlu berterusan. Bila dah berterusan, baru datang kebolehan. Kebolehan membuat mahupun kemampuan mencipta. Dalam usaha mesti ada kegagalan dan kesilapan. Itu lumrah. Cuba dan cuba lagi. Aku ada buat teori aku sendiri tentang bakat, seperti mana di bawah ini:

Minat + Usaha + Kebolehan/Kemampuan = Bakat.

Tak pasti pula kalau di luar sana dah ada manusia yang dah membuat teori atau pun kesimpulan macam ni. Kalau ada baguslah, kalau tiada... bagus juga. Takde efek apa-apa pun. Haha. Sesiapa tak setuju boleh buat aduan pada ketua kampung anda, dia mungkin boleh membantu. Dan... nanti sambung okey.

*pause 2 jam.

Hmm... okey sambung. Tadi kena angkat work students masuk stor di puncak atap sana. Penat sungguh...

Haiihhh... staff meeting pulak! Tunggu sekejap ye.

*pause 1 jam.

Okey, kali ni betul-betul punya sambung. Jadi yang di atas adalah ilustrasi lengkap selepas di tambah tona dan pembayang. Kat bawah ni pulak aku hitamkan latar belakang dan putihkan garis luar setiap imej dengan menggunakan Photoshop (efek cikai je), untuk tampak lebih kontras dan lebih ‘crusty’ katanya la. Hehe. Aku padam logo kumpulan ‘Christdriver’ dari baju manusia tengkorak ini atas sebab… aaa… sebab entah aku tak tau. Okey?



Kalau anda semua perasan artwork ni sebenarnya membawa pelbagai pengaruh dari segi susunan, gaya olahan, sejarah, dan muzik...

Pengaruh-pengaruh tersebut boleh dikategorikan seperti berikut:

• Susunan = Pieta oleh Michelangelo. Lebih kurang la kan?
• Gaya olahan = Pushead dan Justin Bartlett (okey, ini dia jawapan bagi persoalan entri terdahulu)
• Sejarah = Guy Fawkes (persamaan plot pengeboman); sempena tarikh hari ini 5 November ("Remember, remember the Fifth of November, The Gunpowder Treason and Plot..."). Ada tengok ‘V for Vendetta’? Haa… macam tu la.
• Muzik = Hellkrusher dan Mob 47. Tak percaya? Sila renung ilustrasi ini sambil dengar lagu dari kedua kumpulan tersebut. Ilustrasi kulit piring hitam 7 inci kedua-dua kumpulan ini juga mempengaruhi gaya lukisan aku. Tak percaya? Pergi google sendiri.

Okay, itu saja. Sebarang pertanyaan boleh tanya aku.

Bye.
