Perhaps, someday, I get to digitize my drawings and put some color into it! - LOL! for now, they are done in pen and paper ... don't forget "eraser" too! - LOL!
I have also completed a banner entry for the Ponyo banner contest - although, I am contemplating if I should create another banner? since there are at least 5 categories for the Ponyo banner contest, oh well, lets see if I still have time! Seemingly enough the design community called Design Contest - that I have joined, seems to have lots of logo projects lately with really close deadlines, this will certainly keep me on my toes! yeah! rock on! So, here it is, my entry to Ponyo banner contest - and I enjoyed the creative process it undertook and the learning that I had to go through as well!
I did enjoy the movie Ponyo! Although I understood the gist of the story, which is falling in-love and pursuing the one you love, I did not really know what Ponyo was? I did not know what kind of creature or being was Ponyo, so I had to google it, actually Ponyo is a Gold Fishy! - lol! - a daughter of a great magician, she disobeyed her father because of her curiosity to check out the world outside of the great mighty ocean! - and whilst investigating the "land" world, she got herself into trouble, she got trapped in a bottle, a little boy found her, and rescued her, in doing so, he cut his finger and Ponyo licked the blood off his finger, he finally named her Ponyo! And he took care of this little gold fishy! brought her to almost wherever he went! Along this togetherness, Ponyo fell in love wiht the boy - Souske! - time came, Ponyo was returned back to her father, she insisted that she be called Ponyo from that time forwards! and that she wanted to go back and be with Souske! - and so, the climax of the story begins, Ponyo breaks into the magic room of her father and becomes human - a little girl, and finds her way back to Souske, who, somehow, recognizes her, and welcomes her with great enthusiasm! Because of Ponyo's breaking-in into the magic room of her father, a great storm arises and ruins the balance of nature, thus, Ponyo and Souske embark on a magical journey together! Souske still takes good care of Ponyo, despite the fact that he notices that Ponyo has some outstanding skills! At the end, Souske fell in love with Ponyo as well, and had to go through a series of "tests", the mother of Ponyo asked Souske, if he can love Ponyo even though as a gold fish, Souske confidently replied, that he loves Ponyo as girl and as a gold fish, and he loves all the Ponyo's in the world! And so, a kiss breaks the spell, and Ponyo and Souske, gets to spend a lifetime together!
Okay, that is as far as I will tell you guys, more magical and energetic details can be felt and seen when you actually watch it! Trust me, Ponyo is one of those animated films wherein "emotion" is so magnificently captured, and there is an energy to the story! a kind of RUSH! =D that is based on my point of view! you have to watch it though!
Well, now, I think, I can start working on logos again! since I am done with my sketch, and with this banner! and if I have extra time, I would prolly work on another Ponyo banner? (if i still have time before deadline!) =D
Aslo, tomorrow is February, and ... I have not sketched my January theme - my mind is blank - I should dig-in deeper eh? I need to find that "water" - LOL!
The world is beautiful and magical, a tapestry of great great art! This tapestry is a mix of bright and dark colors! This world, is a mix of life and death of joy and sorrow which makes up the natural cycle of nature ... of life - =D
Tonight - thank you ...
- for bright lively stars!
- for those who care!
- for seasons!
- for magic!
- for lessons!
