more coursework stuff
July 14, 2008during the holidays i went back quite alot of times and managed to accomplish an acceptable amount of my coursework. even though i may be one of the first few to start on my final work, its gonna be a long way ahead for my robot and I. i may even finish the last…bleh, i hope i don’t.
anyway here are some photos of the “junk” mechanical parts i collected:
oh oh! and i also made a hand!
is it cool?

updates in coursework
July 12, 2008helloowzz!
yeah, came back specially just to update you on my coursework. well in the end i really did build a robot. with lots of scrap metal and stuff. i had a really hard time collecting ALL that junk. and uh my robot will be in a position that is breastfeeding a baby. not a real baby of course, and not a robot baby either. just some doll that’s supposed to symbolize a real human baby. well the message i’m trying to put across is about some kinda loss of humanity, whereby such a simple and basic act of breastfeeding will/may in the future, be taken over by robots. are we really going to leave our babies in the hands of robots? can you imagine…those cute chubby innocent babies in the robots’ hard stiff cold unfeeling hands?! no way!
anyway here’s an idea of how my robot’s pose may look like:
and to reiterate my point of how cute and innocent babies are…everyone can watch a video of this really cute toddler called Zoei Toh. seeing her sing, and her innocent actions makes me forget all troubles!
the URL is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AR4PQ30VkBk
all baby-lovers and christians are strongly encouraged to watch it. you will simply fall in love with her!!
P.S aw jiayu is forbidden from the watching the video as she has failed to meet the first and foremost condition…you anti-baby person! o.O >.<
周 peace。

generation NY
July 5, 2008we were asked to design the generation NY’s header thing. its supposed to be able to change colour themes each time, so i made it monochromatic and simple. well…in the end they chose one from the GAP people.
haha! i don’t know why i chose all the leafy themes…will look kinda weird on the magazine cover page eh?! but i think it looks okay coz its simple and not too complicated…unless they like it complicated.

my OWN robot!
July 3, 2008i finally came up with my very own robot (designed myself)!!
all this while i’ve been just copying and duplicating other images/drawings, but this robot is done totally on my own. of course i did make references here and there, but its mostly my own. the pose of it is actually from a baby on her knees and hands as shown from my drawing.
i thinks certain parts are quite cool, even though it looks a little bit like a frog from certain angles. the head is the weirdest, but its really really hard to get the head right…
