Sydney Revisited

02nd June 2008:

Revisiting Sydney

Sydney, the prime location for hustle and bustle in Australia, it is my third visit by now.

The latest trends in fashion, technology and lifestyle are ever present in the heart of the city. Most of these elements (based on observation) are derived from the Asian culture and influences of South East Asia (including Singaporeans, Chinese, Philippinos, Japanese and surprisingly a huge amount of Koreans). People chillin' at an Internet cafe's watching YouTube movies with a Bubble Tea in hand (comes in over 40 flavours including Honey Melon, Chocolate Malt and Rose Petal), mobile phones ringing away in a close by train station with an unusual ring tone that is only familiar to Chinese Pop listeners, Japanese Conveyor Belt Sushi stations in nearly every block of the street... I feel like I'm living in the fast lane here, almost like Tokyo (but not Sydney's not that crazy, yet).

So yeah it's exciting to be strollin' around in the city as a tourist. For those who live there it is almost a joy for them to have a lifestyle filled with conveniences just about anywhere within two feet of their apartment, but then again it isn't a city without it's faults either. People are generally more rough, rude or threatening (though they are not as bad as in the more Southern parts of America) and especially when it comes to driving in Sydney's traffic you better not be the 'slow driver type' or be prepared to get honked or get a nasty threat from the driver behind or beside you. It's almost like you're in a GTA4 scenario and you have to a Belic cousin to survive (okay just exaggerating there.. XD).

Still Sydney is an awesome place to visit especially when it has some world class attractions that are easily reachable by the convenient transit system (train, bus, and ferry being their prime, though it's bloody expensive nowadays to use either one - almost $2.20, non-concession bus fare for just one way - 2-4 zones!! The 5-7 zones is almost double that!) In addition to that Sydney has a rich and diverse geographic including country hills, beautiful coastlines, wonderful mountains and a bloody good wine country region.

I'm going to stop there let the photos speak of my trip. I had an extremely brilliant time with my sister Eleanor (the travel guru, she's a cool sister) and her wonderful friend, since high school times, Jacqueline. Even though it's been 5 days (2 days in the city and 3 days at Hunter Valley, wine region) we did so much and made full use of our time.

We've eaten some of the most amazing food there especially when it came to dinner at some of the finest (and casual) restaurants both in the city and in the country area. I thoroughly enjoyed every cuisine I had in Sydney, thanks to my sis and her friends for their treat and to the staff at the restaurants (including manager, wait staff and chefs) for preparing the excellent and tasty experience.

It is interesting to note that of all my travels this is the first time I've ever spent so much of my money during a visit to one city (I only took out $300 but spent only $120 on research and reference material for my cartooning business, the rest was on transport, accommodation and other expenses covered in the trip). I will speak a little more about the books later but for now enjoy the happy snaps below! = )

Please Note: On the first photo, my sister is the one on the right standing, her friend Jacqueline is in the middle. The others are friends of Jacqueline (as seen in Sydney's best Thai restaurant and the Chinese Dim Sum restaurant at the Fish Markets).

Comics! Comics! And Books!

It is once said that 'a wise investment is the smart thing to do' and spending $120 worth of reference books, manga and western comics was something I feel was fulfilling and satisfying.

Here is a snapshot of my book collection from Kinokoniya, Comic Kingdom and Kings Comics in Sydney (excluding the Spider-man comics that were bought for entertainment reading):

By the way the book and comic book stores were exceptional. I enjoyed browsing through the diversity of products and unique services it provided, the style and decor of the store, and friendly staff accompanying the needs of their customers.


Book Reference Recommendations for Comic/Manga Artists

For those who are really serious about their business in making and selling comics or manga (on the web or by print), and understanding the wide range of issues on how to best market your work in the ever growing industry of comics and manga try the following books:

book collection from Kinokoniya, Comics Kingdom and Kings Comics in Sydney 04

  • MAKING COMICS by Scott McCloud:
    I bought this one when I was in Sydney the last time I visited the amazing and massive Kinokoniya bookstore. I remember skim reading it through the highly attractive and simple to follow comic style lessons on how to create an awe-inspiring comic. Scott's a genius, in fact his dad was an inventor, you can say that he is a theorist/inventor/analyst on how to 'do it, to it' on comics. I've read the book and find it extremely entertaining and useful. Very handy for those who want to understand how comics work for you and your readers. He's got some comic techniques that will knock you socks off - for beginners to advanced comic/cartoon artists. Thanks Scott for the handy tips!

  • The Complete Guide to MANGA by Jason Thompson:
    I've only just started reading this one. It is a book not to be missed by manga fans and for those who would like to make their own one day and find the right genre that suits your style and needs. I've enjoyed their easy referencing system where it gives the reader a synopsis of the most recently published manga titles in America (updated till 2007, the top 200 or so in each respective area i.e. action/adventure, sci-fi, thriller/horror, mystery, shonen, cooking, romance, sports, business, pachinko (wait business and pachinko manga??)) and etc...). The author also includes a 4 star ranking of each title he has written about (based on various reviews and his own to keep it unbiased).

    For those interested manga such as Astro Boy, Ranma 1/2, ONE PIECE, Full Metal Alchemist, Naruto, Eyeshield 21 and Death note got 4 stars, whilst Love Hina, Initial D, Rave Master and Bleach got 3 stars, and Gundam Wing: Endless Waltz, Raxaphon and Pokemon Adventures got 1-1.5 stars. :D I've still hundreds to go in reading his reviews and synopsis! XXD

    Not only does this book tell you about what's good and bad out there in today's Westernised manga market but Jason also speaks about the demographics, art styles and the publishers of manga. He also provided detailed descriptions on the genre types as already mentioned above (we've still got ninja, occult and religion, comedy and gag, children and family etc...) As a bonus he notes the profile of the comic artists, a brief history on manga and also other useful information that will surely assist in the manga artist/reader connoisseur (e.g. extra reviews, links to topic discussions on manga and much much more!)

    So if you think you've seen it all you ain't seen nothing yet without the book. Use it to your advantage my dear manga artist or the reader (i.e. the otaku, hate using the word! XXD)

  • Watching ANIME, Reading MANGA by Fred Patten:
    I have yet to read this book in full but I strongly believe that there is something in this +370 page book that will hold the key to my knowledge about the American manga/anime market. The author, Fred Patten, is an acknowledged authority on manga and anime in the United States. He has been a pro-active member of the fandom for decades even before manga and anime became mainstream. He has been compiling information on the subject based off a twenty-five year overview. Now that is impressive.

    I really think that this guy who has an abundance of experience and knowledge on the anime and manga scene in America will teach me something invaluable and I hope that I will use that knowledge to my advantage and apply it with my current projects such as The Grand ASHWORTH Fortune and GYROSHOES.

    Just to give you an idea he explains in 63 articles on:

    ANIME FANDOM

    - The first ads in America
    - Japanese recognition on American anime fans
    - Anime Conventions

    THE BUSINESS OF ANIME

    - Soundtracks
    - Licensing
    - Home Video
    - Theatrical features
    - Simba vs Kimba
    - Nadia vs Atlantis

    ARTISTS

    - Osamu Tezuka (Astro Boy)
    - Hayao Miyazaki (Spirited Away)
    - Fred Ladd

    JAPANESE CULTURE IN ANIME

    - Anime Business in Japan
    - Manga
    - Refighting WWII

    and much more...


  • And finally...!

  • A HISTORY ON WEB-COMICS by T Campbell:
    THIS was what gotten me into coming up with the concept of GYROSHOES. I was really excited about the possibilities of the internet and how it can be best used to the advantage of a proactive comic artist. The web has unlimited possibilities people, it is only a matter of how your use your time and resource on the technologies of the Internet available to today.

    What I've learnt from this book is that the inevitable of the Internet has brought significant influences on the comics market and industry today (manga included). Campbell has provided successful examples such as VG Cats, MegaTokyo, Penny Arcade and Scott McCloud (to name a few) to be pioneers and entrepreneurs to the web comic business and today's fortunate technological era.

    I wanted to make something like those mentioned by the author, you know 'start out early and see how it goes' approach. GYROSHOES will be ON HOLD for the moment. It is a project I'm very interested in pursuing when I have the time and motivation to do it. Right at the moment my ideas are too sketchy and early for anything mind blowing to deliver. Probably in the next month or even a year or so you will see GYROSHOES come to life in a new form that is learnt from the applications of this book.

    I won't hesitate to recommend those who are serious about making comics to get this book. It will teach you about how web comics history has significantly influenced the industry and market of print comics and how web comics can be used to make yourself enough money to do the things you really enjoy doing - i.e. coming up with stories and drawing them!



  • The Science Behind the concepts of 'Sonic The Hedgehog'

    Ever wanted to go a little deeper in knowing what makes people tick when it comes to our beloved game/cartoon character 'Sonic The Hedgehog'? Ever wondered why thousands and thousands of people around the world have been at one point in their have been significantly influenced by the fastest thing alive? What is the science behind this notion? What are the answers? Are there any concrete answers to this?

    Well seek no further my friends, for there is an old website that is soon to be (revived and) launched that talks about these concepts called Concept Mobius. This community and website is powered by the creative members, resource and knowledgeable staff of TechnoGuild). Be sure to check it out!

    For more details be sure to read up on Chemb0t's latest journal entry about the website's exciting prospects from the team!

    I had an interesting chat with Jason (aka :iconchemb0t: - humble genius and kind friend who also helped me built the TGAF website) about the concepts on how Sonic influenced the way we are today. I was attracted to his composure in the Sonic games, the style, design and presentation of the character and the values taught by the character. Because of those elements (fueled by compassion to re-create my own kind of character and story one day - which eventually became I've been able to become the pro-active, enthusiastic, innovating and globtrotting Elson 'Darkspeeds' Wong that I am today. :) I couldn't be more proud and happier to be who I am right now. ^^

    Thanks to my family and relatives, my special friends and all of those who have supported me over the years, I couldn't have done it without your benevolence and support! Here's to another generation of inspired fans of the Sonic series! *thumbs up*

    TechnoGuild and Concept Mobius!!


    TGAF Chapter 6: A Secret Location - SNEAK PEEK! Aaaand... Congratulations!

    Wonder what happened to our beloved unlucky fortune hunter after the rather unfortunate events that took place at Cape Locke with T.R.A.P. looking for the traitor Stream the Hawk? Well just ask Ruby! :D

    RUN RUBY! RUN!!!
    RUN RUBY! RUN!!!


    And also congratulations on unlocking the rest of the lost archives of Darkspeeds concept sketches of TGAF during his world tour! Thanks for all the visits! It's reached 7,000 hits and I can't thank you guys enough for your show of support! :hug: See you guys on the next tour of sketches! *thumbs up* ;)

    Congratulations on unlocking the lost archives of TGAF early concept sketches! See you on the next tour!! = )


    21st May 2008:

    Getting Shoed Up For This One...


    The new splash page!


    What do you guys think of the new logo? :)

    Any suggestions as to what this whole new concept is about? I'm actually curious to know what you think. :giggle:

    I hope to create something that is somewhat different from TGAF. Cartoon design is slightly different in terms of character design but the style of the comic is very different (i.e. the genre or nature of the series). I will let you know that they do share the same universe... Probably a spin-off? O.O

    One can only find out when the website is open in which the next 10 web comic strips are too completed by yours truly first. After reading those through web comic strips you should get a clearer picture on what GYROSHOES is all about. ;)

    Once again I'm working with the talented :iconchemb0t: on the website. It will be more simpler and easy to navigate (because essentially I want readers to focus on reading the comic ;)). I'm sure I will have a great time working with him again! Here's to bringing a successful result in the coming weeks! *thumbs up*


    Also, a full update on my Sydney trip and projects to come for the month of June will be available during the end of Sunday. See you then! *thumbs up*

    Unlocking the secrets of my past work!


    The Summer of Sonic

    It has been a very long journey for a top bloke who lives with his parents and also his bro in the same room together in a small town called Southend-On-Sea in the United Kingdom... But before I continue on with the goods regarding this special upcoming event called 'The Summer of Sonic', that is possibly the first legitimate and biggest Sonic conventions ever held in the United Kingdom, I shall explain a little bit about the man behind this incredible concept.

    This highly motivated man of prestige with his innovative approaches to market and promote activities beneficial to the Sonic online community is named Svend Joscelyne (also known as Dreadknux - founder of one of the coolest and well acclaimed Sonic the Hedgehog fan sites in the world called The Sonic Stadium). An interesting piece of history worthy of note is since it's official launch in 24th October 2000 the website has a million hits only four years down the track. This demonstrates his incredible potential and capability to run a website that is attractive and can bring significant influence to the world stage.

    Also involved in the SoS is his bro Roarey Joscelyne who can sometimes be seen as a counter part to Svend or a complete opposite in terms of personality and visions of the video gaming industry. In many cases he annoys the hell out of Svend in the most uncanny manner during their infamous and immensely entertaining SEGA Sonic radio show entitled 'The Sonic Hour' (every Sunday, 7:30PM GMT).

    However don't let Roarey's rather silly and troublesome nature fool you, in reality he is one of the more mature, intelligent and talented people amongst the Sonic online community (check out his dedicated Pixel Artwork resource, his own games radio show - The Tiger's Eye (every Friday, 8:30PM GMT) and vocal recordings for proof). His creativity and hint of innovation are also qualities that is share with his bro.

    Here is an photo that was taken during my World Tour in 2007. It was my visit to London for one of it's earlier Sonic meet-ups. Pictured below your left to right are Svend, myself and Roarey. :)

    The almighty J Bros. and Darkspeeds...! = )


    So now you have an idea of who the brothers are and how they have built their reputation amongst the Sonic online community you will start to get a better picture of why they are involved in a totally new and exciting prospect that is coming this summer in London, United Kingdom.

    Do you remember way back in 2006 I made journal updates about a special event called the Summer of Sonic 2006 that marked a celebration of Sonic the Hedgehog's 15th Birthday? Many people from around the world, communities and fan sites of the blue blur and even the talented artists of deviantART who had admired the hedgehog for so long had an opportunity to pay tribute to Sonic's 15th Anniversary by taking a proactive approach with the guidance of the SoS event.

    The Summer of Sonic 2006 official website


    And just to be clear what I meant by a proactive approach can include: taking photos with you and your favourite Sonic memorabilia (such as your very first Dr. Eggman plushie); drawing Sonic fan art; writing Sonic fan-fictions; recording remixed music tracks that is attributed to the already large and diverse Sonic the Hedgehog soundtrack and sharing it with other like-minded Sonic fans by uploading it to the SoS server.

    Being proactive also includes participating in competitions that won rare and noteworthy Sonic merchandise, reading special articles of Sonic's history and publications and also unique interviews conducted by dedicated fans (such as Adam 'T-Bird' Tuff of Newcastle) with key people in the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise (that could range from the music industry - Jun Senoue for instance - to the games makers themselves - Masahiro Kumono, Shun Nakamura and more...)

    SoS was loads of fun, full of interactivity and an experience to remember by. It was also the idea of connecting with a like-minded and mature audience that admired the fastest thing alive as if it was only yesterday. SoS was a very important event that can be learnt from and treasured for years to come. Heck it made me become closer to my friends in the Sonic community, including the ones mentioned earlier in my article. ;)

    This reminds me also that because of SoS I wouldn't have been in touch with a talented and passionate friend of the blue blur named Adam Tuff (well known as the 'Man With The Hat' who is knows his heavy metal music more than anyone else in the planet or T-Bird - you can see a photo of myself and Adam during my visit to the town of York where he studied in one of their prestige universities), and I wouldn't have known the J Bros. any more better without experiencing their amazing journeys through the Sonic fandom.

    Adam and I...! I wore his hat!!! Again...! That made my day...


    Of course it hasn't always been the best of times during the struggle to make a positive outcome out of a recent releases of the games from the Sonic franchise. There had been sweat, blood and tears trying to withstand the repercussions of SEGA/Sonic Team's mistakes but it is because of a few mature minded and proactive people in this vast world we live in that make the difference.


    And so it leads me to an exciting point about the new and upcoming event called The Summer of Sonic. Keep in mind that everything that was done during the year 2006 was purely online and the result of the concept was extremely successful. Now is the time that the SoS event was taken to the next stage.

    .........
    .........


    The event that is now officially confirmed of it's venue and dates will be real and it will be one of it's first in it's kind in Sonic fandom history. Like I mentioned earlier it will be a Sonic convention where real people will meet up and spend a quality day together celebrating the best things of our interests in the Sonic community. This year's SoS event will take place on a Saturday 9th August 2008 at the Covent Garden Dragon Hall Trust. Again as a reminder of the full details on this event it can be all found here (or by clicking on the image below you).

    the Sonic Stadium Message Board will explain in full of the details regarding this amazing event coming this August 2008 in London!
    the Sonic Stadium Message Board will explain in full of the details regarding this amazing event coming this August 2008 in London!


    And so I shall end my discussion about the event and leave you with a strong recommendation.

    If you have been a respectable fan of the Sonic the Hedgehog series (whether it be the game, music, toys, comics, artwork, story... etc), whatever your sexual orientation, age and your whereabouts, if you have the will, time and hard earned cash to travel make London city your next stop on the 9th August 2008, because I'll be there - whether you like it or not.
