It’s overall historically innacurate, but I’ll try my best to follow some Majapahit era stuff happening, while within time constraints to finish this asap😭⏱️ but in the same time, turn it into something innovative (sobs my Southeast Asian blood felt a bit stray away from me+IRL limited primary source

@busy animation thesis film @sarahwarao.bsky.social · 4d

Initially I want to sneak in 4 divine beings of my old fanart design of Southeast Asian mythology Four Guardians from MMZ. But I was a bit hesitant while there are 4 divine beings under Dewa, but they reside in Earth, & two of them already appear in earlier animation😭

So I put the 4 colours only🏃🏻‍♀️

My proposal defense (for Master degree) got postponed due to city lockdown; Trumpet’s visitation to my country.

Here’s some progress so far, but unfortunately not yet show another teaser “trailer” animation until I’m sure I pass my proposal defense (which sadly it’ll be late due to said postpone)

A progress art screenshot on Procreate. The drawing is a hand holding a goblet, raised up, while camera angle is low angle. On the ceiling is some stylized wayang art mural of deity and other random decorative stuff to fill in.

Here in lies where some Act 2 parts of my animation thesis film has a lot of adjustments to censor some queer moments while still want to show it without local normies conservatives notice it (not sure if this articulate well or not😭).

Time for bed🛌

- One big takeaway, I think I understand why classmates from kindergarten till uni said to me I dont look 100% Malaysian🧍‍♀️but it dont bother me much👍

We still Malaysians regardless of looks! (also please no k-slur just bc our Indian origins, my dear mom & grandma's family side😭 it's not a pass😭)

@busy animation thesis film @sarahwarao.bsky.social · 13d

- she also confused too. Maybe great grandpa's family or his distant family comes from Eastern India.

Overall, this is actually okay! I'm a person who sometimes takes grain of salt, but this is decent. Wish get to indepth of the result, but this is the limitation from cheapest price version. -

- However, listening to grandma's life when she was young was full of hardships she went through, especially some Pakistan family side came to Malaya to "take back g.grandpa's inheritance" & see grandma & her siblings as "below"😔.

Curious of 6% compared to 22%! I showed this result to grandma, -

- to know families who descend from Indonesia, Philippine Lowlands, South Wallacea Islands & South Borneo. Maybe from dad's side🤔, alas grandparents from dad's side were long gone.

Indian Subcontinent is from mom's side, which great grandpa sailed from Pakistan & married with Kelantanese wife.-

Back in 2023, I got test my DNA for the first time (FamilytreeDNA). I chose cheapest one during sale (tho still expensive like RM300+, but cheaper compared to local ones that sadly cost RMthousands).

While I noted in my mind DNA test most likely Eurocentric, this felt a bit true.🤔

I'm curious-

In all honesty, I need Megaman Zero get "Final Fantasy 7 Retrilogy" treatment. Not only visual aspects, but also a great place to explore & expand characters, story, and plotholes (especially this😭). What we already know of 2000s MMZs they're good, yet there's a lot to explore!

@busy animation thesis film @sarahwarao.bsky.social · 26d

Also the reason why I said I jumpscared is because I'm not wellknown artist/social media user. So it is surprising 😭

@busy animation thesis film @sarahwarao.bsky.social · 26d

Link regarding the article I screenshoted (I deactivated my main Twitter): www.scoop.my/news/169544/...

It's still infuriating to this day of this man (and potentially thousands of bad people out there who do same thing as him but havent caught yet)

Fear and loathing over potential release of Nurul Huda’s rapist | Scoop

Netizens are up in arms over a former security guard’s potential release from prison this year after he was convicted for brutally raping 10-year-old Nurul Huda Abdul Ghani.

I think it's ok to quote people's tweets into a web article to amplify awareness or etc, but this is 2nd time I got jumpscared my own name appear without letting me know at least first/ask permission.😭

First time was about my religious trauma experience but I forgot where is that article.

Link 👇

A screenshot I took from the article with my quote ""Nurul Huda could be 30 years old today, studying at university or working on her career. Stay safe and be vigilant everyone", said user @sarahwarao".

A peep of still-drawing from my animation thesis film progress.🛌💤

@busy animation thesis film @sarahwarao.bsky.social · Sep 9

Update! This morning went to uni then finally to Kinokuniya bookstore. I asked at the counter, unfortunately they didn't provide the request service if the book is single issue type (the continuous comic issue thingy).

It looks like I won't be able to buy Megaman Zero Timelines American comics😔

@busy animation thesis film @sarahwarao.bsky.social · Aug 23

...
I'll just go straight to Kinokuniya to request the book.

//Also, that RM87 was insanely illogical. Did they typo the price or did I miss something? Their description; each 32 full-coloured pages. $5USD supposed to be RM22-ish. Not THAT high after conversion for 32 page Megaman Zero USA comic...
