Hi,I am Vusiuz and i am back with my once a year journal
You can read my previous journal here :
The Art Journey of Vusiuz - Part 1  *When i was 5 years old,my mind was captured by a shape of a scissor and its bright green color...
so i traced it and color it,about 12 scissors with 12 colors, yeah, i used 12 colors snowman marker back then , my style consist of abstract geometrical from objects around me...
*5-8, I rarely draw, but i read so many mangas, especially doraemon and other Fujiko.F.Fujio mangas,
my style heavily influenced by them...and this time i usually drew many magical tools and kid's doodles, like a triangle headed stickman, round giant whale,flying box with chicken feet,man eater kaiju etc...they were so surreal but it was very fun...i wish i can go back into that time, when my imagination was still very wild!
*8-10, I made some friends with the same hobby, still heavily influenced by Fujiko F.Fujio + lego...
yes, i play lego and created many thing using that, i made a book that contains many magical tools doodle, it is similar to catalog, but with a children do

*January 2014, Skybreaker Project Started
After creating 2D to 3D, decided to make a 3d short animation...the one that i planned in Australia...
So i tried to experiment with the main character...

omgwtf so small...and i created him back..into the one above
i tried chibi, but it is so lame after i tested it for fighting animation, it can't be epic battle...it become an adorable battle,chibi limbs are too short...as a result, i change his proportion into a battle-fit proportion, test some effect etc...tweak the proportion more,add some concept to made it more unique,then i revised it become this


*February 2014, Broke Because i didn't had a job
I cannot go back to Australia because of budget problem and my mom don't want to add more debt to pay my education there. As a result, i lost my job and my plan changed. Then, i started to search for money from freelances.
Beside that, i also did a children book project with my girlfiend,thanks to it,the money from that was enough to keep me live for a month

Not only freelances, i also did some experimental-improvement for my Skybreaker Project.


*March 2014, The Depression Month
I have a debt to my girlfriend to keep living, and then suddenly she became rarely replied my chat,often ignore me, she also said she didn't have a time to walk together with me again because she is too busy with her job
Because of that,i become very lonely and depressed, then i decided to pour all of these depressions to art, i watched Jamin Shoulet texturing workshop on Youtube (you must watch it, it will increase your ability tremendously)



In the middle of March, my girlfriend still didn't have a good communication with me, she was like avoiding me...she didn't want to meet me,sge said she was very busy, but in her social media account, she look like having fun and also can walk with another guy..yeah...cant go out with me but can go hangout with another..aah skip it..
that make me more and moree depressed, and i saw a job vacancy from a game studio on Facebook, some of my friend work in there. I also in my way on experimenting lowpoly texturing, so i think if i work, i will get many benefits like have a monthly salary, improve my game production skills on there, and also cure my loneliness



I was accepted in there (after almost rejected),and will start to work on April...with a big hope!
Also i got a big relationship problem, My GF said that her parents don't want me to be her BF...because of racial and culture difference...and any other factor,maybe like jobs or money...aah skip that..

*April 2014, A Suicidal Month
I work in that korean game company, at first i have a very big hope there, in my second day i was tested to make something and tried some new softwares...



Yeah it hurts very much, after a loong loong friendship and relationship, she end it just like that and keep ignoring me...like a stranger...
thankfully, friends in my new office are friendly...they help me to contain my suicidal plans...Except..these bosses...they are bastard, i was very hard to communicate with them because they can't speak english or indonesian fluently, they are like forcing me to understand korean...and also the salary is not as much as they said in the vacancy, so i smell some scam in here...after 2 weeks...i got fired because something i didn't understand...1 of the supervisor keep angry at me using korean language...and also explaining 3d thing using sign language...if i didn't understand, he will be mad...wtf dude...i dont even understand the office pipeline and now they mad at me using some sign language...they also said "You must be cheating on your reel!!"

However, they still paid me, i got some new texturing techniques and also friends (plus cure my depression a little)
Sorry in this month i rarely do some work, only this one documented:


*May 2014, Recovery Attempt
After i got fired, heartbroken , and also feel fail at anything , nobody cares, and i feel worthless,
But luckily my friend give a project to help her on her final, that is enough to give me a hope to life again, i feel needed ,
I feel that she is a precious friend to me because she save my life, indirectly


Beside that project, i also got many other projects like rigging and animate, that give me more reason to live, and also give me money to keep alive.

Other than freelancing,in this month, i also make some experimental projects, motivated by these previous bastard bosses that said i am cheating on my reel, i try to make some chibi characters, with new texturing method i got from there and my previous skills combined..





*June 2014, My life get better,but still trying to move on
I got some money to life from freelances, my friend recommend me to her friends, my other junior also give me some projects.I enjoy it very much, beside they distract me from gloomy heartbroken mood, they also give me money and a reason to life + portfolios..ohohohohoho




*July 2014, Moving on
After about 2 months, i lost contact with my ex, she treat me like a stranger and my friend also trolling me by send me some pic with another men..so i decided to move on and deleting anything about her..(not all tho..ahahahaha)
In this month i became busy with some freelances, so i dont have time to create 3D. In addition, i played some games too...I also hanging out with a junior, she helped me so much in on the process ahahahahah...



*August 2014, Got a new job
In this month i got some freetime in the beginning, then i got accepted as a staff on my university
Other than my once a year journal, i also have an once a year WIP...(heavy procrastination)


After i watched transformer 4,i was inspired to continued my robot wip


*September 2014, Stable Life

After is have a job, my life is getting better, no more extra expenses for other people etc.
Because i posted my works last month on facebook,

a client ask me to make a chibi 3d mascot for a cheese product and
in my office i made some character design for a local band rebranding (pitching)


and for the experiment, because i am not animating for from June,so i start to animate again...
to prevent sense dullness


*October 2014, Back to Animation
Some internship students at my office do animation very well, even they are just know animation for a months.
As a result, i am challenged to do better than these kids i supervise. And by a chance, there was a submission entry for an animation festival opened that time. These intern students are given task to join it as a representative of our office.
I also joined, but not as a representative

My idea of animation is from sinetron, or soap opera in my country, and it is stereotipically bad and lame. I have and ide to combine that lameness with my animation style to create a new style.



The reason i made this is just because i am inspired by stickman animations on this site
I want to make a combo using my characters,but because or the lazyness and business...
That combo animation is halted.

*November 2014, More Consistent to my style

Thus "Jitendrium Clockwork" was born!
"Jitendrium Clockwork" or shortly "Jitenclock" is an improved concept of the Skybreaker,but with clearer, and connected storyline.
At first i decided to make it into a short weekly animation, but it seems not possible because of my routinity. So i decided to make it into webcomic.

*December 2014, Business and Holiday
Because many works to do, in this month i rarely make some artworks.
I only made these:

It is a character that i decided to be a cannon fodder,replacing the flame golem, and also an fanart of rwby again using a new style...
Then surprisingly LINE held a webtoon contest, by any chance i was also have a plan to make a webcomic, so i create this for the entry.


I lost any good ideas...so i went to do vacation to my village, Kuala Kapuas
It was a great holiday, nature everywhere, but provided with a great internet connection too ahahaha...
I ended my 2014 with a bunch of ideas

*January 2015, A new Start


Also, In this journey,some artist inspire and helped me directly or indirectly, their artworks or attitude influenced me when i searching for my art style and meaning of my life  
they are:

Some of them may don't know me ,but i just want to say thank you very much to them..they inspire me...
And my journey still continues....




And for anyone reading this,
feel free to contact me, i have a hope that we can inspire each other
