Diaries of a DiveMaster V

Hurray and cheers for "Friday's". (a bar in Port Galib with working wireless)

Last week I was left in the dark with no internet because the
wireless in the hotels around the bay didn't work...

Anyway I now I have internet again and with it of course
comes the liberty to post an other few photo's of paradise.

Since I liked the last pictures I made of the place around
the staff house I went out again to make some more, here are a few:




This one I made at one of the pools of the hotels:


And for the wildlife:

A photo of the coral and some fish:


And for those of you who like them, some clownfish:


And my personal favorite:

Diaries of a DiveMaster IV

Monday has reared its head once more. While for most people
a day of agony, for me its my day off.

Which means the magical internet is again once more within
hands reach. With this comes the package deal of being able
to post some more photo's again, so here goes:

Fist of all an other perspective photo from Galib:


Next a boat which has stranded over a month ago:


As for the wildlife:


This fish is related to the Lionfish family. Pterois radiata.


I forgot the name of this fish, but it has nice colours.

A Sweetlips fish in a large school of Mackerel.


The Dugongo or Seacow, very funny animal which feeds on sea grass.

No sketches today. I'm trying to get the 100.000 hours for Diving. ;)

Diaries of a DiveMaster III

Ok, so it's the time of the week again than I have internet.
Hurray!

This week I was able to make these two:


The Divers Paradise, logo made from diving equipment.


A Red Guard calling for Fan Sjen. A often used term by the Chinese revolutionaries,
meaning to turn.

As for the wild life, today we have:

the Blue-spotted Stingray

and the Moray:


Also I found this one, might be in place with the comics:

No sketching today, but more photo's

Ok, it's my day off again and I can access the internet once more.
Hurray.

I'm sorry I didn't had any time to do more sketching, but I
do better as a DiveMaster anyway. Besides that this has been
quite a strange week with, and I'm serious, two people dead.

But of course not even death will keep me from doing my best
to still bring you some nice stuff.

So only some photo's this time.


This one is taken from my window at the staff house.


This one is taken at Marsa Umm Gerifat, our housereef.


The end of the jetty, from which I daily enter the water.

And further some wildlife. Photos where made at the housereef.


Giant Grupper


Lionfish

So I hope you like the photo's. As for next week I'll try to
put up some sketches.

Now with powercord.

Ok, so this time I brought the power cord with me.

Time to put up some things than I assume, since I
don't want to lack behind to much. Or worse case
you would all forget about me.

Anyway I updated the contact page so all can see that
I have a limited internet connection. Still if any of
you need me that would be the best way to contact me
since all the posts get pushed back quite fast and it
gets harder for me to read up on the comments.

As for doing some work, I found that making photo's
of my work in my blackbook is the best way to get it
on the net. I usually do some drawing in the evening,
since during the day I'm ether diving or doing customer
relations (customer relation means just idle chat with everyone).

Now most of my work has been themed by ancient China,
which I think comes due to a book I'm reading. It's
about the Chinese revolution, but for some reason
most of my work uses the Dynasties as a theme. Maybe
because the revolution was a direct cause from those.

Anyway here is some of the work I made so far:


First one is just some stuff in general to get going again.


Some Chinese Dynastic general or so.


Temple of Heavenly order. (non existed, before any of you start searching)


Female assassin, I'm really happy with how the face turned out. Might try to post
a small closeup..


Weapon master training in a courtyard. Note the hairstyle, which was to make
the forehead seem larger. My great grand father had the same hairstyle my father
once told. :)


As for the photo's I'll just start off with this one I made yesterday while
coming back from Hurgada (2 hours up north) to extend my visa. I guess its
good for landscape practice as it shows the different values of the mountains.



More stuff will follow the coming weeks but I still have to resize most of my photos.
