The Royal Jester

It's been long since I haven't posted here. Is the blog dying? Nuuu!

I really need to post something and I have decided to post on a new illustration I made. After all at I have said on my introduction that drawings I made would be featured here.

My first drawing feature was about my winning entry on an OCD or original character design, contest in Ofest or Otakufest Cebu 2011. It was entitled Papiliohedyloid and I thankfully won the contest.

This next feature is actually a created to symbolize a slice of my life. The Royal Jester basically is inspired from a blossoming friendship I have with my classmate in Animation class. He and I grew to be good friends and belonged to a same group of friends. We worked together, helped each other out in our projects, got to know each other personally and we regarded each other as close friends.

Looking at the picture you would ask, "are you really just friends?" because you see in the illustration, obviously they don't portray as "just friends" right?

Right now, all I can say is, he and I have grown to be closer to each other. The details I cannot share since this part of my life is a treasure that only he and I and the Lord share. Our little sweet secret.

But why share this on the blog when I meant to keep the details of how we grew a secret anyway? Answer is, I will have to acknowledge that there is something special between me and him and I won't deny that. I would leave the mystery to the readers and viewers of this blog.

Look at the illustration. What could it portray? Every element to the drawing has a purpose. They are already clues to what it is all about.

I will not agree or disagree to whatever comes into your mind. If you got it, then good, if not, it's ok. You wouldn't know either way hahaha...

^_^ so thank you guys for viewing. Hope you'd visit again and check out other posts in this blog... xoxo!

Papiliohedyloid

Hello guys!

I don't know if I am even allowed to do this

but I am posting my entry to the OtakuFest Original Character Design Competition last Saturday February 5, 2010.

I learned that a lot of the participants were already |m/, artists ... that I was so shocked to hear that I won the Contest. And they declared only one winner.

So I want to thank my friends who supported me. There were only a few people I knew there in that event. And I am pretty sure no one knows me there too haha...

And I want to thank Tricia for being my shining star on the event. ^__^ Love you sis! you're my Lucky Star! mwaaaah!

so here it is..

Papiliohedyloid

Human scientists from planet earth call this alien life form Papiliohedyloid from a planet not so much different from ours. Papiliohedyloids are a genial and refined race of aliens. Their population in their planet which humans called Angiodea, is around half the earth’s people population. These people may resemble a lot of qualities of an earthly human in physical anatomy and way of living, having emotions and high mental deftness. Dependent on plant-life as their main source of food and other necessities, they live like butterflies and insects in a way, and expect their planet to be teeming with much flora.

Meanwhile, Papiliohedyloids have a very peculiar behavior—they hate the state of dying. Aside from their obsession in sustaining life, not just for each other but for their planet as well, they have an eccentric attitude towards death, dying and withering. Though they age, it takes them centuries before they “die” in the form of transferring their “essence” of life to any living form.

They have a long and difficult way to reproduce. They copulate similarly like humans, but a female has to wait five-eight years before she gets pregnant and pregnancy reaches up to 3 years before giving birth.

When humans from planet earth discovered this planet, they made attempts to seize dominion over Angiodea for it is a very suitable place for humans to live, since in their time, the Earth is about to give away, from the ruins and devastation of world wars.

In this drawing, this Papiliohedyloid is holding something what humans call as Springblade. In a sense it is a weapon and in another sense it is not. These creatures have very strong sense that can detect the energy level of another creature. The race actually uses the Springblade to end someone or any lifeform who is dying, similar to euthanasia-- and it will only be used for that purpose. However, once that living form is “killed”, three days later, that living form will be fully restored back again. The blade actually plants a “seed” of life into that creature and will restore its life. This time, a symbol that resembles a butterfly will mark that creature as someone/thing revived by a Springblade.

Earthly humans—and other aliens, fancied to get hold of this Springblade for it is a powerful weapon. However, there is a secret to this weapon more than they know. In the end humans will realize that the shrewd Papiliohedyloids have another strange behavior—they can make other lifeforms as their energy source by extracting their “life essence”.
