Let's Ket Aww!

Ah, Komiket 2016!

The very first event we had reluctantly attended after months and months of successful hibernation/self-imposed hiatus.
Being a normie/regular ass con attendee sucks balls, we wish we were somewhere else!
That hopelessness/sinking feeling you get upon being asked as to where your booth is or as to what new books are you working on and answering back disappointingly with :"Uhm, wala e!". It's synonymous as to saying "Hey, I used to be the vocalist of Metallica and now I'm a lounge singer.". No offense to any lounge singers that might be reading this entry. But you get the point!

Again, not that there's anything wrong with the event but I guess the timing wasn't right for us (hence the mask).
This was not our "rising from the ashes" big comeback moment.
This was far from that, now that we are simply a bunch of corporate suits and slaves to the mundane system. Ah, adult life is such a drag!
And to top it all off, our disguise was so full of flaws and was easily recognized by fellow
komikeros/komikeras.

TRAGIC!

Well, enough about us. Let's go back to the event!
The new venue heavily reminded us of U.P. Bahay Ng Alumni.

In fact, it actually looked and felt like a miniaturized version of it.

The place was spacious/ accommodating enough

and AC was more than what you'd bargain for.

The schedule of events were all professionally handled/ organized by the host with the most :
Mark Navarro.

Walking around the said venue, we were immediately greeted with:
Familiar booths/faces,

Twice as many more UNfamiliar faces/ groups/ merchandises while we were away,

and new books that we wish we had more budget for,

Also La Historia

(Unpictured)
(SAYANG!!!!Sabi na nga ba't kulang ang P500.00!!!!)

and the newest trend to sweep the nation : PRINTS!
A whole lot of them!

It's undeniably everywhere!

I guess the said trend finally caught on since it's been done to death everywhere else here and on various conventions overseas.
We also saw a slight decline in with regards to the true blue komikeros that we started out with.
Or in Tagalog: Yung mga kapanahunan namin!

We still spent a good portion of the afternoon (and our life in general) at the OSMOSI Dance Crew booth.

For this is where we truly belong.
There is no use of trying to deny your roots.
Try as I might but masks and "pretending not to know them" were all futile attempts of moving on.
It just made the process even more painfuller to accept.

It's kinda sad when your passion is never reciprocated.
Money is always a factor and the lack of it could drive anyone nuts.

It's also depressing when adult life/responsibilities gets the better of you and you simply just had to let go of the things that makes you happy. I'm really proud of the old guards that had been holding the fort while we were away.

And hopefully we could still catch up with everyone, come 2017.
God damn it, there will be big shoes to fill and a lot of making up for lost times.
There will be hell to pay and we shall guarantee you that!
No more masks, just good ol' SSM!.
Kung kaya't kita-kits na lang, next year!

Cooking Master Gurlz

There's cooking and there's fighting involved,
so what more do you need then?
Tits and ass?
Well, there's plenty of that as well.
All that and a wicked ass/fast paced animation.
Just click play and enjoy already!

Ano BATO?

Hulaan niyo....

Robbie Williams

Because of the recent Milo Manara take on the whole Margot Robbie's version Harley Quinn, which was this one:

Just in case you're not in the know. And you're welcome, by the way!

We've decided to put our own little take on the said subject.
Upon introduction, the costume was of course, very hot! 

I think we've established that a long time ago.

It was clearly inspired by Debbie Harry's 1970's look/fashion.

and a clear departure to the rather iconic Bruce Timm look.

The red and blue highlights were okay but repeating the same pattern elsewhere on the character tends to be repetitive and boring.

Harley's primary color were supposed to be red, I mean they've even established that for the Arkham Asylum games with her lolita nurse outfit.

The movie version wasn't really all that bad, it just deviates too much from what made the character fun and lovable in the first place. Again we are not ripping on the designs from the movie. And even if we are doing just that, we are far too late to offer in our suggestions anyways. So that's that!

So with that in mind, let's dissect my reimagination/redesign.

The dominant color is of course: RED.
And we are bringing back the white face paint and skin tone everywhere else look. As seen here:

We are also bringing back the Diamond mask for I think Harley was originally intended to be The Joker's Robin.
If she is to be his Robin then she has to look the part. 

The third hole is for an amulet or her third eye. I guess, we've even thrown in a bit of Batman Beyond aspects to this design as well.

Diamond patterns are shown prominently. On the sleeves and around the belt area.

Fishnets because I dunno....those are not only cool for fishermen 

and hookers 

but are considered to be a universally sexy thing.

Lead pipes instead of a bat for it does look more dangerous and for comedic timing. It also opens up the possibilities for terrible LEAD or PIPE puns she could crack along the way.

I'm pretty sure Mayor Mike Haggar would approve of this.

And elephant /Lizzie McGuire pants for that added clown factor. Because well, the 90's was a fun/hip thing!

I've even thrown in some Converse high-tops(because they are iconic and fuck'n badass fashion statements) for that obligatory product placement.

With the heavy nostalgic factor and marketing aspect covered.
It's safe to say that our reimagining has all the makings of a wonderful character design.
But oh well, who are we to pitch this and that to anyone for we are after all; are merely nobodies.
