oh hay people yesterday i finally got the artbook from the printing shop !!

here are some preview pics in the book-









most of the artworks made good printing except a *few* of them got ''stretched'' a bit due to incorrect dimension orz /lesson learnt well its not that life threatening i guess /swt


today its suppose to be Devmeet but sadly it have to be postponed till 20th december waa waa waa

so much for printing the artbook but i guess i should try selling this at a local bookstore first- ...
and have to send the free copies to the guest artists too orz ... ill sort that out soon since im low on munnies for sending them on mail-

on other things heres how my triops aquarium look like ...it added the biological feel to my room now lolol

i caught recording my triop shedding its skin last night~ it was an awesome treat to see it do ''sit ups'' before trying to get out of its old skin ;D



On other stuff , happen to saw a hornbill outside my window so i took a snapshot with my sucky phone cam-

Looks like a nice BL cover dont you think-


AGhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
after months of working stuff out, im finally done with This artbook thingy orz

La' Prominence is a 75 page full color artbook where the contents mostly include artworks from locals and some foreign international Guest artist around the world 8) ... the contents are mostly dominated by me and gai ... and everyone else is there to contribute and fill up the book-

thanks again for everyone who contributed orz too bad aki you didnt get to join :c maybe in the future saja-


bah i should rest orz lack of sleep lately ... plus going to go to the printing shop first thing in the morning :S

whoops guys sorry for not updating about the triops 8D .. cos theres nothing much going on so ill just summarize what happened from day 4 - 7






Day 4 - It grew really rapidly at this stage... its too big for it to swim in the small hatchery bowl.






Day 5 - Thats where i moved it into a bigger tank. This is its new home starting from that day




day 6 - i tried to take picture of the triops as clear as possible but it kept moving around so i have to bait it using food to make it stand still. the orange bits are carrot peels btw




Day 7 - the magic starts !!!! after 1 week old , my triop started to lay eggs 8D like oh my !!!! is this some pedomorphosis- imagine a one week baby start to give birth.... anyways lol
starting from that day forward it lay its eggs into the blue colored sand that i prepared. If you look closely, the white tiny dots are the eggs 8D ... ill be sure to harvest all of them until it died off. And yes, Triops are hermaphrodite so it can fertilise its own egg and reproduce asexually

as for now.. i dunno what else to say since the triop only have a lifespan of 1-2 months :c ... i hope the eggs are viable after it is dried off so i can start a new generation soon-

So far theres no new trioplets hatchlings seen in the hatchery, even not much news on the 2nd batch but what i notices that the single triops that hatched yesterday grew at a very fast rate !


since my camera is too sucky to take pic of my tiny triops, ill just draw what i see during its growth time-




now the triop looks a bit whitish but it has a nice pink streak on its tail ! .. and somehow got small spikes surrounding em :S

already prepared the larger aquarium and even bought a small sucker fish. hopefully they can live together well in the future-

So i thought i had given up on hatching them triops, I finally Spotted one small Triops Wriggling and swimming in the Container =D !!!!


spotted at 4:50 PM ; more than 75 hours of submerging the eggs in the container ONE had finally hatched.

I suspected the delay of hatching was due to the incorrect type of lamp that i've used. initially it was a fluorescence lamp , but now i used the normal yellow light bulb ( at 40W )

i thought i have failed at hatching them so yesterday i attempted a second batch of eggs in a new hatchery to try and hatch them.

I would love to take picture, but the trioplets is too tiny to be caught on camera. More updates soon if i found any more hatchlings


... as for now , heres a pic of my Katamari ball that im still working on ;D need to add yellow stripes more on the ''bumps''




Model is Izzat lol
