Slytherclaw's Wunderkammer #2

Last time I wrote about my landlord who believes in Covid19 conspiracy, hehe.. now I remember he also said something else.

He concluded (or more likely agreed to the covid conspiracy Facebook group / admin) that since the government corrupted the budget for covid (maybe related to health care etc) MEANS COVID19 DOESN'T REALLY EXIST bwahahahaa.. LMAO!

My good Sir, any budget, ANYTHING can be corrupted for WHATEVER reason but mostly it's basically GREED of them corrupt authorities who simply DOESN'T CARE about anything but their pocket! Ima so cryin' out laughing inside!

If I remember it right he also revealed he doesn't believe in 5G. Oh my, personally now I wont get myself a new gadget if it's not 5G-ready!

By the way it's been almost 2 weeks now but haven't received any official text from the government about my vaccine status. Could check it myself online or via app I suppose.. but just too reluctant to install an app with review less than 4.0! And not in the mood to get myself a new phone for that either this month (in case it's acting suspicious, risking got my privacy compromised). Without the official vaccine registration I wouldn't be able to enter malls and some other public places, some transports, stations, and airports.

But actually just after I got my first shot about 2 weeks ago I went to a large mall where I once usually bought my groceries.. and I managed to sneak in via an unguarded entrance.. TWICE! And up until this time I managed to sneak in six times more so in total I got myself in not once, not twice, not three times, but EIGHT TIMES MOOOHAHAHAHAHA..!! Guess it's because the mall has many ways in, and they can't really afford many guards so when one has a restroom break or anything they can't keep the doors shut, and I always happened to be lucky in my timing haha..

Although too bad this particular mall no longer has the grocery store, it's now closed for good, don't know what would replace it. Where I should get a good-quality aloeveras and spinaches nao? I suppose I could order online, but still prefer picking them myself.

Regarding covid vaccine, it's good that there's no further side effects aside from a bit sore on a few spots on my left body side on the first day. But most thankfully of course that I managed to keep my 99% perfect health intact in the midst of this strange times of pandemic, o' kind & generous Universe thank you and hope it stays this way!!

Though if I'm doing daily exercise or taking my health more seriously it's not for prevention against covid or any disease, but more of a preparation if I manage to find and join international events like Treasure Hunters NBC or Amazing Race someday!!

Illustration from Imagination 2021 - Moodboard

 

So I finally decided to jump in the course I already bought 2 years ago this time, "Illustration from Imagination" by Paintable.

At this point it's still in early stage, we're just creating our moodboards and thumbnails by September 11. For now I only got to finish the moodboard, so here it is!

 

The course is project-based, we're "being hired by a client who asks for an illustration" with certain briefs. There are many choices, all based on public domain stories like "Alice in Wonderland", "Sherlock Holmes - The Hounds of Baskerville", "Dracula", etc.

Despite there are some briefs I already like, I decided to create one for myself: it's generally my made up Sherlock story combined with a pirate legend where he's investigating a series of murders related to buried treasures of Sir Francis Drake ("drake" = "dragon", hence the dragon references in the moodboard). But please have mercy on me coz I haven't really did the deep research yet!

This idea somehow just came to me when I first joined IFI in 2019, and the idea just sticks, wont let me move on until I make it real, haha..

The setting should be Sherlock's era a la Guy Ritchie's movies. Don't think would involve fantasy element, but I'd still love to see various colors in the illustration. Particularly I always admire the concept art of Dishonored game, so I included them too as my inspiration.

So here we go.. hope I can really spare my time this time and follow through the course!

Slytherclaw's Wunderkammer #1

Finally got myself first round of COVID19 shot today! Though actually I wouldn't do it if not for the latest government rule of making a vaccine-user-screening app mandatory for malls, some offices, even airports that of course requires us all to get vaccinated. A ^&%#*@ mandatory STUPID APP WITH REVIEWS 95% IF NOT 99,99% SAYING IT'S TOTAL GARBAGE AND THEY KEEP ON DELETING USERS' COMMENTS THAT DON'T COMPLY TO THEIR LIKING!! I personally trust my immune system already and personal common sense to deal with them virus. I believe it's enough coz I can say I've been 85% taking care of my health but I'd get very annoyed if I couldn't enter a mall to buy high quality organic kales and aloeveras, or to train stations or to get on a bus or to go to airport just because I hadn't got vaccinated and not yet installing dat trash of an app! So my first step to 'freedom' is at least to get my first dosage of the vaccine - thank god no serious side effects so far about 15 hours after the shots, except for a bit sore around the shot mark, a little of pain on my left arm and a few parts of my left face, and a light headache on roughly the left part of my head. As for the app I'm considering buying another phone so the big bro of them gov can 'watch' me whenever (it demands the GPS to STAY ON at ALL BLOODY TIIIIMEE!!) cos I wont put any personal files into it and if it crashes the phone I wouldn't be too sorry! By the way this is the first time in years since I rode a taxi lol, the vaccination center is pretty far away from home and there's NO WAY anyone gets there via public transport! We had to ask around a lot to find it, thankfully we did it. And thankfully there's not really a long queue, just idle crowds, it's all done in 15 minutes. Now Ima pray that them beaureaucrats wont mess up with my data and my vaccine's ID should be registered in the system no problem in a week or so!

But now here's the really interesting part: curiously when I asked my landlord when I met him before I left for the shot I found out that he and his family deliberately don't vaccinate themselves, heck they don't even believe in coronavirus! Apparently he read somewhere in a Facebook group (wonder if he's also part of it) that covid is a mean to depopulate humans. That there's some DNA-modifying agent in the vaccines that will change / decrease the humans' IQ when they finally get the third shot. I was kinda shocked when he also said he's anti-mask too, haha..

I mean I don't like wearing mask either (just want no trouble so I do it) but when there's the word "anti" before something, that speaks a strong stance. And he connects the covid too to his religion, that somehow the government (or maybe Illuminati or Freemasons and friends lolol) doesn't want people to practice religion proven by the lockdown rules and imposed physical spaces. Ookay.. I was actually intrigued, then I asked him something else to test if the resource is credible (goddamn it though I can't remember how I led him to say it!). He said the author of the depopulation conspiracy on Facebook is a staff in our country's intelligence - yeah convincing sh*t (NOT! hahahahaa..). Then there it is.. the resource said he believes in FLAT EARTH (and thus do my landlord too) LMFAO I REST MY CASE I. EFFIN. KNEW ITTT!!!

 

His house of "covid19 conspiracy" cards is automatically crumbling in my eyes oh my oh my.. those conspiracy theorists are always singing more or less the same song. Stay away from Facebook Sir pleeez! That said doesn't mean I trust the government 100% either, I just don't think life is like Robert Langdon movies even though I'm the number one fan!

Anyway my landlord is one of the MOST DECENT, KINDEST & THE MOST COMMON SENSICAL guy I've ever met so I'll totally let him alone haha.. and I don't really have an intention of convincing anyone else out of their whatever faiths as long as they also leave me be. (Their family is indeed religious, kind of moderately I say, but they never preaches us anything - I want nothing but a good life for them).

And ah, reasoning is a tricky business. I think in the end it's not about logic, it's more about what your heart, your current personal bubble / universe / frequency wants to hear.

Hope I don't offend any other flat earther here lolol, especially if you're pro cute kittehs, this is just my right of free speech. Believe whatever you want to believe. Laugh at whatever you want to laugh at!

Slytherclaw Presents! #2

 S'up citizens of DA?

I just jumped back into art recently via my other account @BlackCloverCreations, joining an art challenge: 31 days of art: an all-mediums challenge by @projecteducate !

But before I found that I've already planned one for myself, a 30-day art study which is too rough to put in DA Gallery and just don't want to put it in the Scraps either, so I submit them in my Wattpad account: https://www.wattpad.com/user/SlytherclawPadawan

You can actually see / read both of the challenges I'm joining in the Wattpad account, serves as my simple form of artbooks, easy browsing to just flip and all. It's been 12 days already, but of course I just got the time to shout this out now omg!

  

 

Here are some of the best from 31 Days of Art Challenge:

 

As you see they're more like of explorations than masterpieces so I don't make them available for prints, although maybe I might revisit and refine them someday. This does loosen up my 'stress' on my files organizing and actually start drawing again LOL.

For the 31 Days of Art Challenge I'll be uploading the painting timelapses too to my Youtube account. Here's one done, more will come!

Slytherclaw Presents! #1

Ladies, gentlemen, and cats alike!

Welcome to my first "Slytherclaw Presents!" series where I show you artwork updates from any of my art fleet.

In this one I present you my latest masterpiece called New Worlds - curiously sounds fitting as the first in the series I say!

I submitted the art (7 versions in total) in my other account BlackCloverCreations as an entry to the DA's latest big contest: "Artvatar Challenge" by team.

I think though, when I read the contest brief again I misunderstood the concept.. it may suppose to be like creating a full persona like I already did sometimes:

But instead the first idea coming to mind was this whole ship (with me being the supposed captain) going through multiverse - creating, exploring, conquering one colorful world at a time as a multi-interest artist (more explanation in the each artwork link / page). So I ended up drawing a scene, not really a character!

I did have other ideas of character close-ups but not enough time, already took a lot of time for this first concept and my recent state of being an everyday-loafing-sunbathing cat didn't help lmao!

So there you go, at least I made it, creating new art after a few months chilling out. I'm satisfied enough with the result, but as usual constructive comments are welcome.

Prints are available for each version, they are also available in Redbubble & Society6 (check out each artwork's link for details). Below are a few samples.

New Worlds v.5 - iPhone Skin

New Worlds v.2A - Metal Print

New Worlds v.3 - Wood Wall Art

New Worlds v.4 - Bath Mat

New Worlds v.5 - Notebook

 

There's also the premium content in Gumroad for only $1 if you prefer to print it for yourself:

New Worlds - 3000px-Wide Images, 7 Variations

Don't forget to check the animated GIF process too:

And this time I managed to record the process and create a timelapse video as well! The colors are trippy though so beware if your brain is not up for it.

So follow me in my adventure..

Happily lost, happily found.
Creating, exploring, conquering one universe at a time.

The game is afoot.

Undiscovered oceans, new horizons await.

Weigh yer anchor!

Ludo ergo sum.
Veni, vidi, vici!

Slytherclaw Bits #21

 What a dream.. it started badly but then made my day!:

My family said I was invisibly surrounded by them ALL kinds of scary ghosts so that 'means' I made all the wrong choices in life and I had to "fix my life" or something.. WELL I HATE TO BE TOLD WHAT TO DO IN MY LIFE SO I NATURALLY REBELLED!!

I SUMMONED ALL MY INNER STRENGTH, COMMANDING MY SUBCONSCIOUS, CONSCIOUS, SUPER CONSCIOUS MIND TO PROTECT MYSELF AT ALL COSTS JUST BURN THEM ALL UGLY GHOSTS & SPIRITS!! I IMAGINED MY SOUL THROWING THEM AWAY, KICKING, CRUSHING, BURNING WHATEVER WAY OF DESTROYING EACH OF THEM MALICIOUS TROLL!!!

But my Dad told me to just talk to one directly looming even a bit towering behind me right now.. despite their 'warnings' I simply couldn't sense anything but then gradually the spirit showed himself, transforming from a tall scary rotten corpse to an ordinary middle aged guy next-door (imagine an Asian version of Søren Kierkegaard, LOLOL!)

 

 

 So I asked him what's the matter, why was he following me (the other ghosts somehow simply withdrew).. unexpectedly he's asking everyday stuff - what's the weather today, how's the world today after he's gone.. after that he even gave me a little advice on how to deal with some stuff in life (I think I did an eyeroll here).. then somehow my family withdrew & vanished..

And wuuut.. later he changed into a handsome guy wearing those manly black t-shirt, black leather jacket, black pants, sunglasses, complete with well-groomed thin beard.. he then casually walked into his black jeep (to return to his original realm since he already asked me what he's curious about) while I was asking about what afterlife looks like..

 

 

 There's suddenly 2 women near the jeep, one was persistently flirting with him (which he ignored), I might also develop a little crush on him, haha.. Then also suddenly an (averagely pretty) woman carrying a baby appeared from the other side, calling the man as her husband (oh noes, why he had to be taken LOL).. so in the afterlife he doesn't get to be with his original partner in the previous life, so was with the wife.. At one point I somehow got a glimpse what the wife really looks like under the normal human face: all human face EXCEPT with a creepy long nose, like pig's snout but just very complex in design it's SCARY! And so my instincts got alerted that the handsome guy could be not as good-looking as he seems.. well, might as well let him go! XD 

 

 

 He did manage to answer my question about afterlife before going back to his next world (THAT's afterlife, apparently!) with this wife & kid (eventually the jeep was left behind, they'd go vanish into a vortex): it's not heaven or hell, it's just another life. And no, there's no single true religion in which you'd burn in hell if you don't submit to that one, because he said before he died he's a Christian but a Buddhist at heart.. and here in his afterlife / other life / other universe he's totally fine.

Therefore he also openly confirmed my personal compass - my beliefs about life!

[I woke up.]

 

*

Oh wow that's just super cool - started from an encounter with scary ghost but ended up with a chat with a kind of wise heartthrob, ahahahaha..!

Not going to take these as absolute confirmation or something, but sure hope all these are TRUE!!
