week 5

The pictures i posted above there are a series of concept art for an MMORPG (Massively multiplayer online role playing game)...but so sorry that i cant remember what is the name of this game. =u=|||

There are several things that i actually want to talk about with these pictures.
the reason why i posted these pictures isn't because that i love this game.
in fact, i don't play video games that often especially for online games.

First, is the EPICNESS !!!
the epicness still the major reason why i post these pictures.
i like stuff with epicness, like what i've mentioned in the 1st post in this blog
the epic musics that being used in majority of the best selling movies
also some epic movies that involves wars, the concept of gods and demons, all those kind of things
(for example, "300 The Spartan", "Lord of the Rings", "Immortal" and "Clash of titans")
from my point of view, i believe that the sense of epicness has a great power to motivate or improve the potential, spirit or even the faith within us. 

however, i found alot of people that actually dislike things like this
especially girls, they claimed that the storyline is complicated and boring

Second thing
i'm interested in collecting all these kind of concepts art. WHY?
for those who don't know me very well, they will not know that i'm actually having a hobby of writing stories and drawing my own comic
and the biggest aim of my life is to complete a COMIC book of mine.

well i can't say that i'm pro in it, but i actually have A LITTLE bit of experience of drawing comics
i've written story with epicness as well
and the most difficult part i found isn't about the setting of the story
but the CHARACTER DESIGN!!

designing characters for fantasy style of story is far more heavier than any 1 of us can imagine.
(i was refering those who got no experience with it.)
it requires alot of researches and observations, sometimes even references.
this is the reason why i collected all these concepts art, not to copy, but refer.
what i will do is to adapt their concepts, moods, designs and ideas, and improvise.

Week 4

After 2 weeks of suffering im finally back to UTAR and continue my studies...

i had my Drawing 2 lecture just now, and Mr. CK showed us Some TVC (TV commercial)
i found that a commercial actually could be very creative and attractive...
unfortunately, Mr CK said our class have no student is creative enough...
i will show him, in the Final assignment to prove that he is wrong!!!!
haha

week 3

Finally after almost 1 week of struggle, im able to go out today, but not for too long, just a while
just went to clinic and continue my MC, and my doctor saw my condition, he gaves me another week of MC, says i still not able to go out yet, but i think im fine now ? = =

nevermind, the post for this week im not going to talk about my sickness anymore

I hope if any of my reader could remember this cartoon from Nickelodeon, an astro cartoon channel, i 1st aware this cartoon when i was form 2, almost 7 years from now.
i was totally been attracted by this cartoon, the reason why is because for a american cartoon, the storyline and character settings are very creative, i never seen any american cartoon producer produce a cartoon in this kind of style, a NEW and CREATIVE cartoon i would say.

but i wasn't able to finish this cartoon since the Astro cartoon channel doesn't play the cartoon accordingly to the channel.
and very luckily, my girlfriend downloaded it for me!!! i always wanted to finish this cartoon !!!

ok its time for the main point, this cartoon actually inspire me a lot in terms of my thinking.
although it is a cartoon, but put down all the prejudices against cartoon, u could actually find alot of moral value or something nice for people to know from this cartoon.

it talks about WAR between 4 nasion, every one suffers from the war fire, they lost their families during the war, people force separating from each other, betraying, turn their backs on what they were believing. it discuss alot on HUMANITY.
then after all the mess, there is a Chosen One, came and rescue the world, telling us, never abandon our hope no matter what.

a very nice cartoon, i would say it is suitable from 3 to 70 years old... ^^ if u wanna try to watch, hope u can get something from it ^^

week 2

This is the 2nd week of my 1st year 3rd semester, and please congratulate me because im having CHICKEN POX!!! already 1 week absent from class since last week

since im having chicken pox, im not able to go outside the house. Within this week im very suffer from this desease, although the medicine was given, but its im still keep having fever, then recovered, then fever raise again...

however the 1st thing comes across my mind isn't my about my health, but my homework from college. like i said, i was sick until im hard to get up even for sitting position, not to mention my homework already then, even for now im lying down typing my blog.

What i actually thought is when im recover, i will have a lot of homeworks to be done
within a very very limited time period, and i know having chicken pox isn't a nice excuse to delay my work.

IT IS CHALLENGING and i LIKE IT!!

Week 1

Hello visitors, welcome to my blog
for those who don't know who am i, please allow me to introduce myself
my name is John Lim Chong Quan, currently having my 3rd semester in UTAR

this blog is dedicated for a particular subject in my university
so called "Creative Thinking and Idea Generation"
and i'm required to update this blog weekly talking about anything that i've learn, or anything that inspires me to think much critically and creatively, and also my ideas towards anything.

so the very 1st thing i would like to talk about is Epic Music!!
this is also the reason why i named my blog title as "The Reluctant Warrior"
its actually a name of this particular music.

here is the link, a very nice music i would say.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jppobC_Inlk

i do listen to this kind of music everytime when i was doing my assignments and also some designs.
i found that Epic Musics like this are so motivative and it inspires me a lot in my work.
to me, Epic Musics provide me power, to stand against adversity, to fight for future (what i mean FIGHT here is to deal with Uni assignments and exams...XD)

in the end, i hope you guys will like it, and hopefully u guys can find something in this music
FROM THE BOTTOM OF YOU HEART...
