AMOK by Charis Loke 5.5 x 9.5” Ink and watercolour on Fabriano Rosaspina paper, digital charisloke.com
Seven days and seven nights Hang Jebat ran amok, His dearest friend had dealt to him a fatal piercing stroke; Red shone the streets all soaked in blood, red veiled his burning eyes; Upon his fury-deafened ears fell the people’s dying cries.
For Month of Fear, I’m making paintings for my personal project Kejora, which is illustrated microfiction rooted in Southeast Asian cultures and realities. This piece for ‘Monsters Within’ is based on the duel between two warriors - once best friends, then set against each other - in the Sultanate of Malacca during the 15th century. Believing that the Sultan has unjustly ordered the death of his friend Hang Tuah, Hang Jebat rebels and takes over the palace. Eventually Tuah returns and is tasked with confronting Jebat. Through trickery, Tuah manages to stab Jebat and end the duel, after which Jebat runs amok and kills thousands of villagers.
I’ve always been fascinated by this part of the Hang Tuah legend since studying it in high school. It is a contest between two beliefs: absolute loyalty to a ruler, and freedom and justice. Yet even the one seeking justice and fairness ends up dealing so much death to innocent folk. We all have our monsters within. For more Kejora stories, follow me on Patreon!

BULAN by Charis Loke 5.5 x 9.5” Ink and pastel on Fabriano Rosaspina paper, digital charisloke.com
“Seven moons once lit the lands, so wondrous they woke earth-shaker in the deep; six moons our people sought in vain to keep. But my moon is not that which hangs in the sky, last of its kind, gleaming alone; my moon is radiant: wielding her sword, she is why we slay the bakunawa, my moon and I.”
For Month of Fear, I’m making paintings for my personal project Kejora, which is illustrated microfiction rooted in Southeast Asian cultures and realities. This piece is inspired by the incredible short story ‘How to Swallow the Moon’ by Isabel Yap, which references the moon-eating bakunawa from Filipino mythology as well as the binukot (kept maiden) practice.

Southeast Asian garment designs based on books, films, and video games like The Lord of the Rings, Dragon Age: Inquisition, and Pacific Rim.
What if Malaysia had its own Jaeger (Pemburu) program? Sketches by Charis Loke.
THIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIS
I'm catching on late to this because I haven't had time to watch any movies, so I just watched Pacific Rim today, which on its own is HOLY SHIT
But even better, I now have context for this lovely piece that an incredibly talented acquaintance put together in trying to answer the question, "What if Malaysia had its own Jaeger (Pemburu) program?"
Funny, insightful, and best of all - thoroughly Malaysian.
I love her notes on why she did these sketches:
"Beyond entertaining myself and some friends, I'd like to speak more seriously about the need for Malaysians to tell Malaysian stories. There's no point wishing for Hollywood to produce movies that will depict our culture in a responsible and respectful light - not going to happen any time soon. Plus, one rule of art is that you should make work about what you know - which might encompass cultures, communities, history, stories - because you'll be able to depict it more accurately and with more detail than someone who's unfamiliar with it. There's a big difference between someone who grew up eating cendol writing a story about cendol, and a foreign concept artist who's only seen photos and descriptions of it online trying to create a depiction of it." - See more at: http://charisloke.github.io/webcomics/pemburu/#notes
