#omazimo

Happy new year! Hope you are enjoying it as I am. Since, last month I have been busy reviving Omazimo, after I finally hand in work for the first semester. 

I began with the colour swatch, making shades of blue. 

I then place the original drawing 

Then I started to illustrate 

I usually import from my own stock library. Having a stock library helps you illustrate faster especially if you use the same elements occasionally. I believe each freelancer should one. It really speeds up your design and illustration process. Thereafter I move on to making the chest beads. 

I then move on to the teta, illustrating  it in the Omazimo teta style, which I design in 2009.

I do not normally follow through the steps, in other words finishing only one part and moving on to the others. I tend to do what seems creative to me at the time. So, I moved onto the title of the book. 

After the title, I started with the guy. 

I then, did the background. Jumping from task to task motivates you as you see the illustration come to live. 

I then made the lightened their faces as they are looking at a burning branch enhance the fire torch.

The final.

S01E01 (part 2)

During the cause of last week, Ernado send through so man email to the extend of not remembering how many and to what companies. Except that they were all from Cape Town and easy to get to.

After a week he found himself at Wolker Collective, after he had included in his email that he is will to sign the letter of confidentially. Which as his graphic design lecturer Irene Wutenburg suggestion.

While fiddling with illustrator his mind dosed of and -

ANKASIYA...

Hey get out of the way.

Aaaah...

Vroom. Tstjiwuuu

Where am I?

Did you really think that you could hide from us?

Huh?

Get him!

Hey, over here.

Vroom...

Who are you?

I'm... I'm.... I don't remember...

Well, I'm – let me, let me hold that thought. (She did not trust this weird looking dude).

Why?

Jeez, let me see. I just met you. The sentorians are after you.

Well isn't that a good thing.

Well, you do have a point there, but names are really important in this parts so. Let me get to know you, then trust, then just maybe then will I tell you.

Your call not mind.

After a while...

So, what world is this?

Ankasiya.

Ankasiya?

Ankasiya, the world that exist out of time. The world of infinite possibilities, what happens here manifests into your world. Some call it Limbo, we call it Ankasiya. A world between life and death. Most humans go into it even without noticing it. It uses nano-time – a second is divided 1000 times. Even when it's so brief, it appears to be an eternity. Remember how you sometimes switch off? You are there, yet not really there.

Like day dreaming?

Similar, but more intense emotions are needed and your mind literally transports you here even though you cannot see it.

Like day dreaming?

Similar, but it's more deeper than that. It's usually associated with pain or sadness or other strong emotions. Although it's in your mind it appears so real, so tangible. Sometimes, the snow gets so cold, that you can taste it and the fire so hot that it hurts and the words so real that they create.

So why were they after me?

I don't know, but I intend to find out.
