Guess the Hinilawod Princess...

Who do you think this is?

You're one of these stats.

I've been putting up blogs and websites ever since I was 13, but I've never had visitor stats like these! You are one of these numbers and I would like to extend my gratitude for all your support.

Hinilawod Comic: Labaw Donggon

Working on this page had its set of lessons:
#1 - Drawing after an uphill jog is possible, but will lead you to...
#2 - STARVATION
#3 - and, two bottles of soya milk will be of little help.

Things have been a whirlwind lately--and i apologize for the lack of updates. It's all in my hard drive... please watch for updates on the 3rd volume of the Hinilawod Comic in the next weeks.

Hinilawod Comic - Vol3: Sikay Padalogdog

It's another near sleepless night--and I don't mind.

Deadlines are coming in quick and my time is running out. It's almost the Ang Lahi Academy, too... and I'm 80% sure that I'll be joining the 9 month program. By hook or by crook--this 3rd volume of the Hinilawod Comic is getting printed.

That's the princess Doroonon up there, held captive by Sikay Padalogdog. I had the Abomination in mind when I was thinking of how to graphically translate a hundred hand monster from the Hinilawod Epic. Those extra appendages will extend as he attacks and he can hide them, too. That guy's deceptive.

Unlike the Abomination, Sikay--because he's deceptive--has a very presentable countenance. I like him already!

The Epic of Labaw Donggon

I've just come from jogging with my brother. Now I'm with Jean and she's working on the subtitles for the DVD project. We have cups of coffee in front of us and the computers on our laps. The coffee's still too hot for sipping--and I'm not really sure there's another coffee shop in IT Park that could beat a Starbucks blend.

This morning, I went about looking at kids painting a monster from the Theatre adaptation of Hinilawod. It's one of those moments that jar you back into position: this is why i do what i do.

The past month had us living our waking moments in IT Park, it's an odd thing. We'd tend to our day jobs, and run off to coffee shops at night to work on the Hinilawod DVD and the Hinilawod Comics. At times it would be work, meeting, muay thai then, Hinilawod... I'm not sure how we've managed to get by with so little rest--but, matters have been interesting in a very positive way. It could be the plant-based diet... though I've not been able to follow it perfectly.

Volume 2 is finally done and we're off to volume 3: Labaw Donggon and his second wife.

Yay!

 

Labaw Donggon: Manaludtod's Lair

Meeting with Ate Rosemel and Jean as I write this and I cannot possibly begin to write down everything that needs to be accomplished.

The next showing of the theatrical adaptation of the Hinilawod Epic is fast approaching. I'm wishing we could go to Panay; I don't think there is enough time. I'm going through a whirlwind of comic pages---almost at the battle between Labaw Donggon and my Manaludtod Dragon!

So excited! Do keep posted for images of the battle.

Hinilawod Comic: Ginbitinan

I've just returned from a tour of Leyte. This country is rich.

Back to Hinilawod now; working on the comic pages. All the feasting from Leyte has taken its toll and I'm lethargic. Updated play-dates are up at the website, by the way. I'd love to see how the play is going to evolve this time around.

See you there!
