For the past 2 months, I have been working on a website that folds Warcraft's entire story into four 70-word paragraphs which can be expanded up to two levels down for more detail. This is an indispensable tool for new and returning players alike, be it for hardcore role-playing or just making a quick recap before a new expansion.

The annual anime con held in KLCC will be on next weekend, and I'll be there with my camera! No specific plans, just exploring and having fun. If any of you guys is going there as well, make sure to hit me up!

On 16 March 2003, 23-year-old American human rights activist Rachel Corrie was crushed alive by an Israeli buldozer driver, after a 3-hour confrontation when she and 8 other activists were trying to prevent 2 buldozers from destroying the house of a Palestinian family in the region of Gaza in Palestine.

Rachel was run over twice and had her skull fractured, her ribs shattered and her lungs punctured.

"The exact nature of her death and the culpability of the bulldozer operator are disputed, with eyewitnesses saying that the Israeli soldier operating the bulldozer deliberately ran over Corrie, and the Israeli government saying that it was an accident since the bulldozer operator could not see her."

"In 2005 Corrie's parents filed a civil lawsuit against the state of Israel. The lawsuit charged Israel with not conducting a full and credible investigation into the case and with responsibility for her death,[15] contending that she had either been intentionally killed or that the soldiers had acted with reckless neglect.[3] They sued for a symbolic one U.S. dollar in damages to make the point that their case was about justice for their daughter and the Palestinian cause she had been defending.[16]"

"In August 2012, an Israeli court rejected their suit[3] and upheld the results of Israel's 2003 military investigation, ruling that the Israeli government was not responsible for Corrie's death.[15] The ruling, the Israeli justice system, and the investigation it exonerated have been criticized."

Israel is an unrighteus country, stop lying to us!

Hey guys. I am in Jordan, wooh! I like the place here, but I'm currently not in the mood to blog.

Since my TOEFL test is due in less than 2 weeks, and because I haven't Skyped with my internet friends in months, I need to practice to get myself fluent in vocal conversation again. However, I almost lost contact with my previous Skype friends, in case anyone is interested in taking their place.

You can poke me.

Yeah. Have a nice day.

Hi, followers. I thought that it was important to post an update to remind all of you that I am still alive!

Upcoming Deviation
The last serious deviation I uploaded was Gentleman Dummy, on 8 Jaunary 2012. Well, this is terrifying when I think about it now, but on the bright side, I have spent tens of hours in the last 2 months working on one of my long term deviations, titled "Digimon Battle." It's an anime-style deviation with soft digital coloring & shading. I am sorry, but neither of the idea or the WIP of the deviation can be shared right now.

What is a "long term deviation", do you ask? In my case, I am an artist with a lot of creative ideas, many more than I can draw in a year. When I want to draw one of these genuine ideas, I seek doing it in the best way possible, which means a lot of editing and polishing. This deviation, the one I am willing to launch next, had its very first draft started in July of 2011; more than a year ago! Since then, I have spent 70+ hours slowly developing it and polishing everything until it satisfied me.

The work is not perfect as I am not a professional, but I have pushed my skills to the maximum, refining it as much as my skills allowed. I am happy that I could get this far, and I am looking forward to improve more. So far, the anatomies can be better, but they seem fine... Well, I hope so! The coloring is also fine, xD better than average I guess. But the thing I truly like is the concept, which is yet to be revealed.

Our Video Game Project
Beside my upcoming deviation, I am also working on this 'commercial' project that has really grown serious. In my 2nd journal on dA in 2010, I have mentioned this: "I've been recently working on the art in a fan home/family-based game project, but had to pause for personal reasons. The game is a 2D old school adventure game (from the style of Monkey Island and those)."

This project is still alive! Now and for months now, I have worked as the lead artist for the visuals team. I am excited! There's a lot to reveal later, this is all I can say right now.
