Hang Jebat

My semester is over!

I just can't believe I survived this sem! It was a total disaster for me. Partly because of my crazy schedule, maybe. Another thing is my lack of creative ideas. I'm still working on fixing that problem.

Anyways, this is one of my assignments for digital illustration. You have no idea what I'd been through working on this. I shed tears several times, and even regretted choosing this extremely hard topic - Hang Jebat. References were hard to find because you know, people hardly pay attention to history and appreciation of art and culture in Malaysia. Or maybe it's just me failing to get enough recourses.

I was on the verge of going insane, suicidal even. My dad came and comfort me, praying to the Lord for help. And, just like many times before, it worked. My God calmed me down and delivered me from the psychological tribulations. And that is why, this project is so significant to me for this sem. There is another similar case in another project, and it's coming soon in the next post!


Hang Jebat, the true hero. He fought for justice for his sworn brother Hang Tuah. People misjudged him of betraying the Sultan, but he is actually the truthful hero who dared to fight when others were blindly obeying the king.
