NSFW Google Game

Hecko X — Fri, 18 Nov 2011 06:34:33 +0000

A few years back, just for the lulz, I made the ‘hypethesis’ that if you added “asian girl” to any single search term, regardless of what it was as long as it was a common noun, you’d find at least one pornographic image on one of the first three pages. From then on, it would become a game to try to think of a search term that WOULDN’T result in a pornographic image appearing.

I recently remembered that game, so I figured “Fuck it, I’ll share it with the Interwebermernet“, and made an image thingy with rules explaining the game. I updated the rules a bit since Google’s image search has change over the past few years. So, well, here:

First Batch of Elephants

Hecko X — Sun, 05 Jun 2011 00:36:55 +0000

It was nice to get a bit away from work and talk a walk. I even got to hang out with Nashayla, when she got off from work, since it was pretty close by. We went to eat at Sunset, so that was kind of new to me. Apparently, they people there don’t know what a panini is, which is a bit ironic, since they sell them.

Anywho, important lessons were learned: 1) wear sun screen; 2) the map is NOT trustworthy. Now for the elephants:

Tired Hecko is Tired

Hecko X — Mon, 16 Aug 2010 23:10:06 +0000

Genki is finally over and I get to rev down a bit from the crazyness of it all. I haven’t been posting anything for a long while now, and it’s been due to Genki 2010. A lot of stuff has happened recently and I’ll gradually update all you regular readers (yes, you four) about it. In the meantime, I’ll be sleeping and resting until I get the sensation back in all the currently numbed parts of my body OTL

And thanks so much to Rushi (xxxrushi.deviantart.com) for being super awesome and making me this drawing. You’re the #1 bike-riding Asian in my book, dear! ♥♥♥

Present from Themy

Hecko X — Thu, 29 Jul 2010 21:04:36 +0000

THANK YOU, THEMY!! ♥♥♥

Personal Genki Business Card

Hecko X — Thu, 08 Jul 2010 21:26:28 +0000

I got the Genki business cards I made for myself; it’s totally kick-ass, ain’t it? 8D

Oh, and of course a very big thanks to Kaiki for advice and critical feedback! And also for helping me export the damn thing to the requirements made by the printing company OTL (I gave her a slush ice as thanks last time we hung out, hurr hurr ;P)

Kuroshitsuji – Sebastian Chibi

Hecko X — Tue, 22 Jun 2010 02:55:24 +0000

This is part of a much larger meme I did a while ago with fallenangelsnevercry. You can see the meme here: http://heckox.deviantart.com/gallery/#/d2nwqw8

This drawing is a chibified Sebastian Michaelis from the series, Kuroshitsuji (read my review of the anime here: http://m-27.com/2312/reviews/kuroshitsuji/). I’m currently also working on a drawing of Finnian from the same series, because he’s totally my fav character; he’s just so endearing <33

Happy 20th Birthday, Kaiki

Hecko X — Fri, 26 Mar 2010 18:33:21 +0000

Today is Kaiki’s birthday, so congrats. And now for the real reason for me making this post; showing off my fail arts and making filler posts while I think of something better to write! >:3

Like last year, I made her a China Gurl drawing, though this time, it was more on impulse than of me actually caring (that sounds so mean OTL) since Macromedia Flash was already open on my laptop and I was like “… meh, ok“. Originally, I hadn’t planned on giving her anything since she said she didn’t want anything from me anyway, hence the impulse thing :/

Now for the drawing~ 8D

Hecko the Wise in Epic Stance

Because epic explanations call for epic stances.

Copy Skills Getting Better?

Hecko X — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 09:12:51 +0000

A filler post, I guess? Anyway, in recent days, I have been wanting to practice my colouring and copy skills because in case of the former, I suck, and in case of the latter, I suck… just not as badly. Anyway, in order to improve my colouring skillz, or rather develop my lack thereof, I have been talking a lot with (read: “bugging the shit out of“) a pretty awesome artist artist called Nijidono.

Anyway, as a kinda cruddy way of showing my appreciation and getting to practice at the same time, I chose one of her drawings to copy and colour, as seen below (click for bigger versions). I have a few anatomy fails (such as the hand sizes), but overall, it looks pretty good/similar, no?

AoH Winter Ball Comic

Hecko X — Sun, 28 Feb 2010 00:37:52 +0000

As some of you may recall, I joined a drawing RPG called Academy of Heroes (AoH for short) back in December. Well, within the AoH universe, there was recently a ball room event and a friend of mine (fallenangelsnevercry), whose character is the love interest of my character, decided to make a winter ball comic with them in it~.

I ended up loving it so much that I decided to lineart and colour the whole thing and I just finished the last frame a few minutes ago, so decided to upload the entire thing here 8D There are 21 frames in total ;3

Now with LiveStream

Hecko X — Thu, 21 Jan 2010 19:45:39 +0000

I recently got an LS account so that other people could ‘tune in’ whenever I was drawing or doing sharing-worthy stuff. I’m on mostly late evenings around midnight CET since that’s where my Internet connection is mostly stabil (unless my router decides to be an über bitch…), so feel free to check in on livestream.com/heckox if you want to chat with me during the broadcast. Otherwise, just scroll to the bottom of this post for a watch.

The broadcasts are also recorded and can be streamed at any time by clicking the video thumbnails at the bottom of the site. Quality is a bit… volatile… since I’m using a laptop with only 500MB RAM, which is actually below requirements XD I’ll be switching to one with 4 times as much in future broadcasts, hopefully that helps.

If you want to know exactly when I come on, either follow me on twitter (twitter.com/HeckoX) or on deviantART (heckox.deviantart.com/) as I will post a journal/tweet whenever I begin broadcasting.

Collabs All Over the Place!

Hecko X — Sat, 19 Dec 2009 16:02:05 +0000

Ever since joining the drawing role play Academy of Heroes, I’ve been more active in terms of drawing. I still suck at it, but I’m a lot more active XP

My lineart skills have, however, improved significantly since I first started a month ago. For instances, in the collab I did with Themy and dementedmonkey, both from deviantART, I did the lineart (drawing seen on the right, click for bigger version). I deffo had the easiest job of the three since I don’t have to worry about proportions or light sources, I just have to draw on top of the lines, but I’m still pretty proud of my efforts XP

Others seem to like it too, and I’ve been invited to do another collab with them, as well as 2-3 others, so that’s pretty cool ^^ Be sure to follow my progress here and to watch my dA profile ;3

Joined Academy of Heroes~

Hecko X — Fri, 04 Dec 2009 20:39:06 +0000

I’MMA GON’ BE A SUPERHERO, PAW! 8D

Okay, no. “Academy of Heroes” is a drawing RP (role play) on deviantART.com founded and administrated by a dozen or so artists on dA who also act as the teachers in the RP. In the Academy, there’s room for 120 students equally distributed in 6 different Houses (Houses work kinda like the school wings in Harry Potter). The students then draw their OCs interacting with eachother and doing the Academy assignments + the semester exams (the latter of which is a giant House collab)

I joined this morning upon reading about it in NeodeadlyraveR‘s dA journal since I though it sounded super fun and like a great way to motivate me get better at drawing, but was put on hold until my character was finished (I did that a little while ago now). Hopefully, I’ll get in, but until then, say hi to my OC, Blaze:

Bio:

He’s a super-shy 15-year-old who’s not really good with social interaction, especially when it comes to the opposite sex. When he gets embarrased, he hides the lower part of his face behind his House-issued scarf (he wears it around his neck normally).

He belongs to a feral species of humans and when angry, the white in his eye turns black, his pupil becomes slit, his canines become longer, and he becomes extremely “fired up” to fight (hence his name). Since he’s only a teen, he can’t consciously activate his ‘transformation’ nor control it properly.

He is blind in his left eye due to an accident he had when he was a toddler which left part of his face scarred. He’s pretty self-conscious about it, which is why he grew out his hair on that side (so he could hide it). While only having one good eye, due to being feral, it doesn’t affect his depth perception much.

He has a bit of a sweet tooth, but doesn’t like cake or chocolates much (more of a winegum&lollipop kind of guy) XP

Hecko Attempts Colouring Drawings

Hecko X — Tue, 01 Dec 2009 12:39:38 +0000

Some of you may remember the post from about two weeks back called “Learning to Clean Scans” where, after some advice from Kaiki, I attempted cleaning/tracing/inking some of my drawings to make them look better.

Anyway, I took it a step further and attempted actually colouring the drawings, since I now had digital lineart, and wanted to show the results (and also because I haven’t updated in a while and this post took like 5 minutes to make… >_> ). I didn’t get advice on this one, and I’m not at all experienced with colours and shadows/light sources, so if it sucks, that’s probably why.

They were both coloured (as well as traced) in Macromedia Flash MX, which is actually a bit of a pain since it doesn’t have blend functions, so making smooth transitions to another colour is either roundabout or straight out impossible… =.=; Should you for whatever reason actually like the drawings, they can be faved on deviantART.com (clicking the below images will lead to their respective deviantART pages where they can be faved)

Learning to Clean Scans

Hecko X — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 20:41:28 +0000

This past month, I’ve been drawing a lot more often as a way of relieving stress and not having my brain melt from all the projects I have going, such as school, exams, searching for a job, planning Genki 2010 with Kurikku and some other Genksters, dying, etc.

However, even after a long time with physical therapy, my fine motor skills are still fucked, which means that while I can draw drafts, I suck at tracing the lines >_> To make matters worse, even after scanning, I had no idea of how to actually clean the scans properly, so my drawings were of pretty low quality (filled with errors and whatnot) and I had no way of colouring them digitally without making the drawing look like the colour had vomitted on the drawing OTL

Having been unable to find any any useful tutorials online (except for one which actually helped greatly on how to set the scanner to remove most of the smudges), I called up Kaiki for some help, since she’s probably the best artist I know (read: “have the phone number of” XP ) and I figured if anyone had a solution, it would be her for sure.

She gave me some pretty simple, but useful, pointers on how to clean scans and I have been playing around with it since. Clicking the below images will lead to their respective deviantART pages where they can be faved

Before	After

I still suck at it, and I’m immensely slow at doing it, but I’d like to think it has greatly improved the quality of my drawings. Don’t you agree? So a big thanks to Kaiki for the pieces of advice, and I hope to be able to improve further with the help of other talented artists as well.
