Wah! Sudah lama tak kemaskini blog..Sebenarnya ada cerita sana-sini.. Tapi begitulah bila dah ada facebook..MALAS.</p>
<p>Entri ABCDraw kali ini menampilkan watak-watak Komik Saga saya, dari Babak 2: Si Budak Bertuah.. BFF Siew Mei &amp; Suraya. Ini juga boleh dikatakan sempena kemenangan saya tempohari sebagai Pelukis Komik Terbaik Anugerah PeKOMIK 2011.</p>
<p>Ha..tulah, takde cerita apa pun pasal Anugerah PeKOMIK sebelum ni kat blog, tiba-tiba dah menang eh..Maaf..</p>
<p>Sebenarnya, Babak 2 saya dicalonkan dalam dua kategori: Pelukis Komik Terbaik &amp; Penulis Terbaik (bersama saudara Fairul Nizam Ablah).. Keseluruhan Komik Saga ada tersenarai sebagai finalis calon kategori Komik Baru Terbaik &amp; Komik Terbaik.</p>
<p>Maknanya dua pencalonan untuk satu buku, dan dua lagi pencalonan untuk Babak Si Budak Bertuah sahaja. Untuk dicalonkan aje pun saya dah syukur (bukan saya self-nominate ya!). Tapi menipulah kalau saya katakan saya tak kecewa THE WHOLE TEAM tak menang dalam kategori Komik Baru Terbaik &amp; Komik Terbaik&#8230;sebab saya sangat bangga dengan work team Saga.</p>
<p>Jadi, saya sebagai tukang karut asal Saga dan tukang kumpul ajak kawan-kawan lain join di sini nak ucapkan jutaan terima kasih kat Zuraizee Zulkifli, AdiFitri Ahmad, Nor Salim Dawam, Fairul Nizam Ablah, Khairul Ammar Jamal, Mushadie Mustaffa..dan tak lupa juga Kamal Masrun, sebagai assistant lukisan layout Babak 2 untuk beberapa mukasurat.</p>
<p>Saya tak tau kalau boleh buat lagi projek atau komik macam Komik Saga ni. Bukan senang..entah-entah mungkin ini satu-satunya novel grafik yang saya dapat hasilkan dengan kawan-kawan yang ramai macam ni.</p>
<p>Oh tapi dah lari topik sangat dah ni. Entri ABCDraw kali ini untuk meraikan Wanita. Khusus untuk wanita-wanita dalam hidup saya. Mak saya, kakak saya, isteri saya, anak saya..tak lupa juga In-Laws saya. Kalian buat hidup saya lebih warna-warni.</p>

<p>We are (suprisingly!) prominently featured today in The Star&#8217;s weekly comics review column <strong>Worlds of Wonder</strong>. Written by Kaleon Rahan, here are some snippets of it:</p>
<p>&#8220;While I’m sure the car touches the nation in different ways, most of  us will not have the opportunity to share or voice our two cents worth  about it &#8230; unlike the four “proud owners” featured in this neatly  woven together storyline (with four tales).</p>
<p>Whether you are a car-addict, a patriot or just someone who needs a car to get from point A to B, the <em>Satu Kereta. Empat Cerita. Tentang Kita,</em> tagline would most likely provide most of us with a sense of déjà vu.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;..Overall, <em>Saga</em> is an excellent piece of work that justifies its price tag.&#8221;</p>
<p>You can read the full review <a href="http://thestar.com.my/lifestyle/story.asp?file=/2010/10/22/lifebookshelf/7258555&amp;sec=lifebookshelf" target="_blank">HERE</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Whoa. I haven&#8217;t been able to update for the past month or so..I&#8217;ve been busy with work at the office, I haven&#8217;t gotten around to continue my ABCDraw series..and well, creatively, I&#8217;ve been sorta dead. But some things are bubbling up in my head..I hope I can get around to the new ideas soon..but before that..let me put this up before it gets any more BASI.</p>
<p>Some of my friends and online colleagues has been kind enough to give their little reviews and feedback on the book..and here is a compilation of it (mostly from <a href="http://pergh.com/forum/index.php/topic,14294.0.html" target="_blank">this thread</a> on pergh.com). Alhamdulillah, it&#8217;s been positive so far..but I still need to get the word out to the masses. Ramai lagi orang yang tak tau kewujudan komik Saga ni.</p>
<p>So here goes. With pics from people who got the book, and shots from some MPH Stores.</p>

<p><strong>&#8220;</strong>Bagi saya komik yang paling lengkap, kemas dan terbaik persembahannya antara 3 komik pertama Comix21.<br />
- penceritaan kemas&#8230;pacing susunan&#8230;dialog&#8230;perwatakan dan idea yang kemas tersusun.<br />
- idea original dan berjiwa Malaysia.<br />
- lukisan kemas dan simple..teknik warna dan style tersendiri..<br />
..ending agak unexpected&#8230;teruja juga nak tau akan Saga merah ini..membuat anda terpikir dan nak lagi akan watak Saga ini..</p>

<p><strong>&#8220;</strong>Saga adalah terbaek, kekuatan story telling, team think tank yg mantap dan teamwork.<strong>&#8220;</strong></p></blockquote>

<blockquote><p><strong>&#8220;</strong>..Saga lak, complete siot..tatau nak komen apa. Sangat suka. Dah pusing 2 kali baca.<strong>&#8220;</strong></p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p><strong>Aimurban:</strong></p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p><strong>&#8220;</strong>Macam yg ramai dah sebut sebelum ni, SAGA memang miliki jalan cerita yg  superb! Mula2 baca, takde menda yg impresif sangat pun.. tapi bila tiba  kat story kedua, bila uncle tu cakap, &#8220;Dulu, masa saya muda, saya pernah  nampak kereta ni. Kat sekolah tempat saya ambik gambar!&#8221; Tanpa cite  banyak, aku terus selak balik pages stori first.. Damn! Niceee.. Lepas  tu, aku start baca dengan penuh enjoy! Tahniah utk team ni.. gile ramai!<strong>&#8220;</strong></p></blockquote>
<p><img class="alignnone" src="http://www.tarakucha.com/fotos/2010saga_mr05.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="234" /></p>
<blockquote><p><strong><a href="http://shenufan.blogspot.com/2010/03/comix-21-dengan-tiga-komik-saga-senjata.html" target="_blank">Waverider</a>:</strong></p>
<p><strong>&#8220;</strong>Pada sesiapa yang blur.. komik nie adalah satu cerita dengan pecahan 4 cerita (macam naskhah filem CINTA&gt;&gt; atau LOVE korea&#8230; di mana penghujungnya merged balik pertemuan semua karakter dalam semua cerita.. got the idea?? okay.. good..</p>
<p>Dan komik nie mengangkat kenangan semua karakter tue pada model kereta nasional pertama&#8230; dengan kesan nostalgik dan dramatik.. kellasss!!</p>
<p>Menarik.. penuh warna.. part 1 yang thirtynine dari BH (39) angkat tue.. sangat konvensional lokesan dia.. macam Bari di Berita Minggu/ Harian zaman 80-an.. 39 tak mengaku pulak dia bari.. ya laa.. dah tentu laa Bari tu da agak otai mcm Zoy.. 39 muda lagi..</p>
<p>Part 2 atau cerita kedua yg dipulunkan oleh mamat Tarakucha sangat menarik dan &#8220;sesuatu warnanya..&#8221; sangat US&#8230; kerana mamat nie memang minat Calvin and Hobbes.. Siew Mei mengingatkan kito kepada Pinky dari komik Adijin&#8230; seksis.. fragile..</p>
<p>part ke 3 sangat sarkastik.. lawak&#8230; dipulunkan oleh Bortahrg mengisahkan empat ekor perompak dengan cubaan melarikan diri yang sangat suspenss.. dramtik dan lawak!!</p>
<p>Part 4 menghidangkan cerita mamat dari cerita no.1 berlumba kereta litar menggunakan Proton Saga milik cekgu dia dari cerita no.1 tadi yang skang dah jadi Dato&#8217;. Kendian shot kesemua watak dari cerita terdahulu gathered tengok TV dan di ruang penonton tengok perlumbaan tue&#8230; momennttt&#8230; no wonderla komik nie menang MDEC Pitch tahun 2006 untuk komik..</p>
<p>Kesemua idea dan brainchild oleh Tarakucha.. dengan bantuan penulis mamat Fairul Nizam kalau guwe tak silap..<strong>&#8220;</strong></p></blockquote>
<p><img src="http://www.tarakucha.com/fotos/2010saga_mr04.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="226" /></p>
<p>Well, That&#8217;s all for now, folks..Still trying to get the attention of mainstream medias..hmm..how ah?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignnone" src="http://www.tarakucha.com/fotos/2010sagasighting_02.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="300" /><em>Saga  (with Senjata Elemen &amp; Burger from COMiX21) spotted at MPH One Utama.</em></p>
<address> </address>
<address></address>
<p>I haven&#8217;t been updating any SAGA news in awhile..so I thought I might as well start back with the few feedbacks and reviews that the book/comic/graphic novel has been receiving.. Reviews are mostly in Malay, so here goes..</p>
<p>This one here is from an old-timer from the local DIY comics scene..Mr. Ubder Taker. Maybe not a very familiar mainstream name, but he&#8217;s been around..his first endeavour into comics was his self-published magazine: UMBRA. Onwards with the review (quoted from <a href="http://pergh.com/forum/index.php/topic,14294.160.html" target="_blank">pergh.com&#8217;s COMiX21 forum thread</a>):</p>
<blockquote>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><span style="color: #000000;">Malam ni susah benar aku nak tido&#8230;. might as well review Saga, walaupun  dah sebulan aku habis baca&#8230;. jadi aku review from memory&#8230;</span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><span style="color: #000000;">bila  aku pertama kali dengar proposal nak bikin saga ni, entah berapa tahun  lalu, aku dok pikir dok pikir samada budak yang ppropose ni betoi ker  atau bengong&#8230;.  maklum laaa&#8230; pertamanya bukan nak bikin sorang, tapi  satu grup, dan artis komik Malaysia selalunya suka kerja senirik2 dan  glemer sorang2, jadi kalo ramai sangat artis bikin satu citer tak ker  jahanam citer bila memasing bawa kepala sendiri&#8230;</span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><span style="color: #000000;">hahaha&#8230;  pastu aku dengar nak masuk adegan merompak bank&#8230; udah&#8230;. kebetulan  citer rompak bank ni dah jadi idea beberapa filem popular masa tu, jadi  aku pon pikir, takder idea lain ker?</span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><span style="color: #000000;">Tapi dua benda yang buat  aku tertarik kepada cadangan citer ni&#8230; pertamanya kehadiran sebijik  proton saga dalam semua segment citer yg berbeza&#8230;.  keduanya ada  Amoiiii&#8230;..  dan Tarakucha memang terer lukih amoi cute&#8230; jadi aku  pikir, mungkin ada harapan laaa kot&#8230; aku pon dah lupa apa sebenarnya  maklumbalas aku masa tuuu&#8230; macam ler aku terer sangat&#8230;  kwaaakwaakwaaa&#8230;</span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><span style="color: #000000;">Bila akhirnya proposal ni dapat Grant MDEC aku  masih lagi skeptik, sebab aku dengar ramai struggle nak complete project  on time&#8230;  dengar jerr laa, sebab masa tu aku dah putus harapan nak  involved dalam dunia bikin komik ni&#8230;.  lalu bila kuar citer Alaf21 mao  publish citer ni, baru aku percaya yang ceritanya dah siap&#8230;.</span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><span style="color: #000000;">Well  guys&#8230; its a fairly long journey&#8230;. you made it while I&#8217;m still  alive&#8230; thanks&#8230;  enough citer latar..</span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><span style="color: #000000;"><span id="more-161"></span> Adakah terlalu banyak  tukang masak menjahanamkan citer??  Well&#8230; actually tidak, sebaliknya  ada konsistensi dalam penceritaan ini, dan setiap segment berbeza  membawa perspektif berbeza kepada cerita&#8230;. semuanya berkaitan dengan  sejarah sebuah kereta&#8230;.</span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><span style="color: #000000;">Segment pertama mula agak slow, satu  perjalanan nostalgia yang bersahaja dan reflecting zaman 80an&#8230; aku  tidak ada di tanah air bila Proton Saga mula muncul, tapi dari cerita  ini aku dapat feeling tentang emosi berbagai yang di timbulkan dengan  kehadirannya&#8230; dari orang2 yang hanya boleh melihat, remaja yang punya  impian dan juga pemilik yang berbangga&#8230;.</span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><span style="color: #000000;">Segment kedua  menerokai lovehate relationship antara kita dengan kereta yang  sepatutnya menjadi kebanggaan tempatan&#8230;.  di sini munculnya si Amoi  cute&#8230;.  sementara segment ketiga pula ada sikit bikin kecoh dan gempar  dengan karekter2 yang membawa kontra&#8230;  Dalam setiap segment aku dapat  rasa suasana ke Malaysiaan dalam setiap karekter&#8230;. kalau tukar nama  dan bubuh nama Jepun setiap karekter pon, aku masih boleh lagi kenal  orang kita&#8230;. Sementara segment terakhir, kitaran cerita ini  dilengkapkan kembali&#8230;.  harapan, kekecewaan, kebangangan, kekeliruan,  kecurigaan/skeptism, dan kebanggaan&#8230; ada dalam citer ini&#8230;</span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><span style="color: #000000;">Well  guys&#8230;it is a fairly good story, with feelings&#8230;. satu cerita yang  dibina dengan kasih sayang dan harapan, dan satu permulaan yang baik  untuk novel grafik tempatan&#8230;.  ianya tidak membodohkan pembaca dan  sesuai untuk semua peringkat usia yang boleh membaca dan ianya juga  adalah satu perjalanan nostalgia yang tidak menjengkelkan&#8230;.   kolaborasi berbagai karyawan komik yang melakukannya di masa lapang  mereka adalah satu pencapaian membanggakan kerana hasil karya mereka ada  kesinambungan dalam satu jalan cerita yang cohesive dan kental&#8230;..  nampaknya vocabulary aku amat terhad untuk menggambarkan apa yang aku  nak sampaikan dalam komen ini&#8230;.  rasanya itulah efek selepas membaca  Saga&#8230;. aku masih tercari2 ayat dan perkataan yang sesuai untuk memberi  komen&#8230;</span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><span style="color: #000000;">Good storytelling, leisure pacing, complimentary  artworks..<br />
I feel satisfied&#8230;. yeah!</span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><span style="color: #000000;">Terimakasih  saudara2,  kerana berkongsi karya ini&#8230;..<br />
honto ni&#8230; domo arigatogozaimasu&#8230;!</span></p>
</blockquote>
<blockquote>

<p>After a little bit of quiet time following <a target="_blank" href="http://www.tarakucha.com/blog/index.php/archives/151">the launching</a>, I&#8217;ve finally managed to find our book on the shelves..this was in the <a target="_blank" href="http://www.mphonline.com/">MPH Store</a> at the lower-ground level of The Summit USJ.</p>
<p>Alhamdulillah.. All three titles (Saga, Burger, Senjata Elemen) by <a target="_blank" href="http://www.facebook.com/group.php?v=wall&#038;gid=344801429488">COMiX21</a> are there.. So yes..it&#8217;s going to start being more visible in the market now, InsyaAllah. If you guys don&#8217;t mind, do snap a shot like this if you come across a sighting of the books. It would really help spread the word that it&#8217;s out now. Thanks guys!</p>
<p>Oh! And after linking to the MPH site..i tried to do a search..and what do you know? You can order online there now too! Look <a target="_blank" href="http://www.mphonline.com/books/nsearch.aspx?do=search&#038;Cri=2&#038;Val=Akmal%20Aziz&#038;Sess=Sat%20May%2001%202010%2003:42:13%20GMT+0800%20%28Malay%20Peninsula%20Standard%20Time%29">HERE</a>! No thumbnail of the cover yet but hey! It&#8217;s there!</p>
<p>And finally, you can get it directly through the publisher too. Right <a target="_blank" href="http://www.alaf21.com.my/sinopsis/fragmen.asp?id=577">HERE</a>.</p>

The reason for the late update, I guess..is because I&#8217;ve been recovering from the event and deadlines at the office weren&#8217;t helping. Here are some snapshots of the event, courtesy of my wife and also whoever it was <a target="_blank" href="http://www.obexstudio.com/">Mr. Zamzami</a> passed his camera to.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.tarakucha.com/fotos/2010launch01.jpg" /><br />
The stage is set for the unveiling..</p>
<p><img src="http://www.tarakucha.com/fotos/2010launch02.jpg" /><br />
The buntings are &#8220;gempaq giler&#8221;..</p>
<p><img src="http://www.tarakucha.com/fotos/2010launch03.jpg" /><br />
This was the only shot I managed to take with my Saga bunting. Abang Ujang hanya mampu gelak melihat aksi tak cute ini.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.tarakucha.com/fotos/2010launch04.jpg" /><br />
After a small speech by Brother Ujang, the thingamajig was unveiled..he and Karangkraf&#8217;s boss lady Puan Firdaus put down their John Hancocks. After that, we did too.</p>

Group shot.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.tarakucha.com/fotos/2010launch06.jpg" /><br />
Abang Ujang memang sempoi.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.tarakucha.com/fotos/2010launch07.jpg" /><br />
Receiving his complimentary copies of all three COMiX21 titles. Tapi Saga kat depan sekali wihu~~! <img src='http://www.tarakucha.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

<p><img src="http://www.tarakucha.com/fotos/2010launch09.jpg" /><br />
Third from left, <a target="_blank" href="http://blog.ajinda.net">Mr. Ajwad Ajinda</a>. Thanks for the support dude!</p>

<p>After the launch, there was also a slot for our panel of <a target="_blank" href="http://www.facebook.com/group.php?v=wall&#038;gid=344801429488">COMiX21</a> talents to promote our books at the <a target="_blank" href="http://www.pekomik.com/">PEKOMIKON</a> room.

Phew..Yesterday was really tiring, but also very gratifying. It was the first time I got to lay eyes on the published copies of Saga. Needless to say, I am very happy and pleased. Even though there were still some minor errors (sorry <a target="_blank" href="http://www.luzrafikr.blogspot.com/">39</a>!) or slight colour issues (my chapter seems a lil darker, I guess it&#8217;s because I worked with RGB), the quality is still top-notched. Apai&#8217;s choice to make the masthead logo embossed with the metallic effect came out suh-weet. And it&#8217;s selling at an even sweeter promo price: All three <a target="_blank" href="http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=4928548&#038;op=1&#038;view=all&#038;subj=612527790&#038;id=708407834#!/group.php?gid=344801429488">COMiX21</a> titles for only <strong>RM25</strong>!</p>
<p>Quite a few of our friends came by, and I gotta say, thanks for the support guys. These are some shots of the crime scene courtesy of Mr. Maskulin Burger; <a target="_blank" href="http://www.obexstudio.com/">Zamzami</a>.
