New Comic Book Xibit Debuts At Book Fair
By P. Marilyn

Bandar Seri Begawan - Xibit, the comic book featuring the fusion cartoon and manga style comics, made its debut yesterday at the Brunei Book Fair and will continue to be on sale until today at the International Convention Centre in Berakas.

The comic book is the outcome of various creative and talented local artists coming together to put their ideas and artwork together.

As one of the youngest contributing artists for Xibit, 14-year-old Miao and 15-year-old Yee Sin, students of International School Brunei (ISB), were proud to see their artwork being compiled and vowed to do better for the second issue of Xibit.

Miao, the artist, based her painting on the story created by Yee Sin, who gets her inspiration from Japanese based comic books.

"As the story unfolded, I pictured it in my head and drew it," said Miao.

The pair fused their talents, Miao with her skills and love for painting and Yee Sin with her creativity in composing stories.

Meanwhile, Mohd Denny Azriman bin Hj Madni also known as Ambuyart, one of the nine contributing artists/ cartoonists for Xibit, said that it took them two months to gather the artwork.

They each came up with their own ideas, storyline, colours and graphics, and used different mediums such as painting, watercolor and Photoshop. -- Courtesy of Borneo Bulletin
