The Spark

My own creativity and style came about when I read a lot of comics when I was just a kid. I remember tracing out my favourite pokemon with rice paper I snatched from the kitchen. I would trace them out an indulge on their cute little designs and cool superpowers.

Throughout, I began thinking about making my own characters. To me it felt like as though I was like god for a moment when I drew out my first few simple characters. Soon after that, I took after the idea of it when I learned that some cartoonist drew whacky characters because it was the only medium that gave their ideas life.

A Character Design I did of myself

By the time I reached 13, I began trying out other mediums to play around with my work. I improved, but not because I thought I needed to. I just had a lot of fun with what I did.
Currently, my preferred form of mediums are traditional pen and paper. My tools of the trade include but not limited to Fountain pens, Rapidographs, Markers and Brush pens.

Week 6 of 3D Animation Production

Good evening,  We have made substantial progress in our project work in which we are satisfied to inform. Currently we are in the midst of UV mapping out the entire environment and props and we are aiming to get it done by next Wednesday (020621).  In the span of a week I have managed to produce the interior layout and models of B0B's store which had some alignment issues but was well managed thanks to the architecture and layout done by both of my colleagues. SuQin has done a great job in modelling out the character Dinda, can't wait to see her come to life.  Joash had made an animatic that was pretty spot on to what we were looking for with the exception that there could have been a little more.

Week 1 of 3D Animation Production – "JQK Studios"

Good evening,  Today marks the first week of 3D Animation Production, where i work in a team of 3 people – myself included – to pitch and produce a 1 minute animation.  The group comprises, Chua Suqin, Joash Lee, and myself. Both Suqin and I are specialised in 3D animation, and Joash is specialised in Character Animation. In this role combination, we're hoping that two people would work on designing the assets, characters, and environment and the third to be the one animating the motions.  We're called JQK Studios which is an acronym of our initials. Creative aye? and currently i'm designing the logo for our studio. We're still in the pitching phase. I can't disclose openly here just yet about what we're working on, but soon after the pitch to our mentors and esteemed classmates, we'll be able to share on what's in the works. Stay tune. – Koda

Service Learning Project: Collaboration with Knowledge Channel on The Basa Bilang Project.

Good day to any of you who stumble upon this blog. My name is Syaqil, but my friends call me Koda. Currently as of 2020, I am in my 2nd year of Polytechnic studying animation.  In one of my modules called Fundamentals for Creative Professionals II (FCP2) we were given the opportunity to contribute to The Basa Bilang Project, which was hosted by The Knowledge Channel. This project was one of many that was tasked to other animation students in collaboration to produce educational content for children in the Philippines. It was crucial as this meant that kids who are unable to pursue formal education can still look for their education online through the Knowledge Channel.  Due to the Covid-19 pandemic that has struck the world, our interactions with them through the collaboration had to be done through an online meeting and discussion. Most of the work is carefully deliberated by our own lecturers who oversee our progress in the project, telling us what to improve on and being th...
