“May mga halimaw dito sa mundo at ilan sa mga ‘yon ay tao.”

- Alexandra Trese

As an avid fan of crime mystery series, Trese is worth watching. Really enjoyed the show, especially the fight scenes, and every time there are new cases involving mythical creatures.

Watched the whole series with Filipino audio. I tried switching to different languages from time to time to see the difference. Well, the JP dub is always top tier. The Eng dub was also great.

Medyo nakukulangan lang ako sa voice acting ni Liza, but it's okay, I know may room for improvement naman. Considering that she's new to voice acting and she's not used to speaking in Filipino. As for the other voice actors, they did an exceptional job!

I hope that next time if producers will have local animation projects, they will cast professional voice actors because that is their realm where they can shine. TV actors already have their teleseryes and films.

However, given the fact that the Philippine Animation Industry is just starting, animation studios have to cast celebrities to boost the popularity of a particular show. More support from the fans equals more money, hence, there would be enough funds for the production team. Animation projects are hard, takes a lot of time, and are expensive to make.

For me, it's okay to cast celebs for voice acting naman eh, as long as they fit the role. The quality of the performance goes hand in hand with directing rin naman.

I hope nga lang in the future, they would give chance to professional VA's. Ang daming magagaling na hindi nabigyan ng opurtunidad na maipakita ang kanilang talento.

On the other hand, the storyline, character design, ost's, animation, and visuals are really good considering that this is the first Netflix anime series from the Philippines.

Thanks to the creators of Trese, Kajo Baldisimo (artist) & Budjette Tan (writer), as well as to the production team behind the anime adaption who brought the story to life. I'm glad it is now released on the global streaming platform because the story can reach a wider audience.

I badly want to read the original comics because I'm so hooked sa story. I'm currently at the edge of my seat and wondering what would happen next to team Trese after episode 6. I've seen some tidbits from the comics. The art by Kajo is astounding! How I wish I could buy them all. As of now, Trese is still ongoing and has 7 volumes with 30+ cases.

We grew up hearing different stories about aswangs, tikbalang, tiyanak, kapre, duwendes/nuno sa punso, etc. from our parents and grandparents. It was great to know that we have such amazing and fascinating mythology that has been passed down from generation to generation by our ancestors that made our culture rich.

I'm also grateful that Filipino folklore has inspired brilliant writers and artists to create masterpieces. Hoping to see more animated series from local comics!

My favs from the series are, of course, the kambal —Crispin and Basilio! I love their character design and personality. They balanced the mood for the team and the whole series. A little humor amidst the dark, thrilling, and suspense that was going on around them. If Basilio will tie his hair into a man bun further in the series, then ohmygaadd that would be so freaking cool! (and many viewers will simp for him more lol) 

The end credits scene seems like hyping for the next season. Hoping for Season 2!

The flaw in Liza's voice acting is not that big deal to me since she can improve pa naman. The storyline itself piqued my interest, so overall I would give it a 🌟: 10/10

PS. I wish they would make a giant ChocNut bar. It's my childhood fav! When you happen to pass by a manhole, just bribe Nuno with ChocNut then voila! you can ask him for life advice but first, don’t forget to say “Tabi tabi po” or else mamalasin ka sa lab layf mo lol

art tips post

for all the artist following me

Have two sketchbooks: One for finished and high-quality art (stuff made with Prismacolor or Copic if you use that or art for your portfolio) and the other sketchbook for more messy doodles. This way you have a place to try new things and mess up as much as you need. When I only had one sketchbook I was scared to draw in it because I didn't want to mess it up

Do studies. I cant tell you how much I've improved just by doing studies of shoes, hands, noses, and all that. This works for when you have art block too since you’re not really making stuff up and just learning how real things work.

Learn from others. I’ve never taken a real art class because 1. I can’t afford it and 2. there’s no good art classes/programs at my school. I’ve been following several artists and learning from them over the years and they’ve helped me tremendously. Just please do not steal art because that is never okay.

Break down concepts. If you notice there’s something wrong with your piece then figure out why. You can’t get better if you leave mistakes and don't try to understand whats going on. If the color is weird figure out if the values look right or maybe its the saturation of the color.

Watch youtube tutorials. Here are some youtubers I think are pretty good art teaching all things art: Draw with Jazza |  DrawingWiffWaffles |  Proko |  Baylee Jae

Have an inspiration folder/blog. Sometimes you just need a collection of starry nights or a misty forest or even a French bakery. All of those things can help you get inspired to draw. It could even be completely unrelated to what you plan to draw.

There are no dumb ideas in the creative process. If you want to draw a lizard in a dress go for it! If you want to draw various pastries with faces do it! Don’t let the thought of it being too dumb stop you because if I’ve learned anything in my several years of drawing it’s that an idea can lead to another and another and another and you may get a really good idea just from doodling dumb things.

Here’s a few things that can get you started on drawing better:

Dynamic poses | Dynamic clothes | Dynamic figure drawing

COMPOSITION | PERSPECTIVE | CONSTRUCTION

Anatomy:

Legs

Arms

Hands

Heads

Body (Female) (Male

Color Theory

Improving your sketchbook

Most importantly, don’t give up! You may not immediately get notes or followers but it’s more important you get better than to have popularity. How do you think those popular artists got to where they are now? To be good you’ve got to work at it.

New cover art for the published book, Moriartea by Akosiibarra! :D

This is hands down my favorite one that I’ve done so far! Hope I’ll get my copy of the book soon.

The human whose name is written in this note shall die. This note will not take effect unless the writer has the person’s face in mind when writing his or her name. Therefore, people sharing the same name will not be affected. If the cause of death is written within 40 seconds, it will happen. If the cause of death is not specified, the person will simply die of a heart attack. After writing the cause of death, details of the death should be written in the next 6 minutes and 40 seconds. “This world is rotten, and those who are making it rot deserve to die. Someone has to do it, so why not me? Even if it means sacrificing my own mind and soul, it’s worth it. Because the world… can’t go on like this. I wonder… what if someone else had picked up this notebook? Is there anyone out there other than me who’d be willing to eliminate the vermin from the world? If I don’t do it, then who will? That’s just it: there’s no one. But I can do it. In fact, I’m the only one who can. I’ll do it. Using the Death Note, I’ll change the world.”
