Wow wee, my 1st time drawing a proper girl. All this while, I felt drawing a male character was tough. And when it comes to female, I feel like suiciding. Proportion, pose, charm, everything is killing me.

Details later. Going Genting tomorrow with my CB Housemates. Won't be completing it till Thursday.

I just remembered how terrified some of my colleagues were during our trip to Perak. And the thing that they were terrified of? L~E~E~C~H. They were feeling geli here and there, and when I told them some leeches would crawl into your underwear, they were horrified. LOL.

I dont' know. Perhaps I'm too used to them or I'm just a disgusting guy in some way. I find them adorable... in some way I mean. LOL. And the best way to handle them? Just not to panic, roll them on your skin and then throw it away, simple as that. They are just looking for food, that's all, nothing against humans.

Anyway, behold the true terror of leeches, The LEECH KING. Done in photoshop, 2.5 hours. Don't bother the miniature humans around it, I drew it out of fun. It should have been a speed paint. Wasted my time fixing shits. Angle, perspective, colour, form, all those common things, bah =_=.

Another speed paint and experimentation. Just got the idea in my office today. Suddenly have the urge to paint the elegant Flying Snow (Maggie Cheung, yay!!) from Hero (the one that Jet Li acted).

Hmmm..... Nothing much to describe. Like I said, I wanted to develope the concept art style, that's why it's kinda rough. But I'm quite happy how it turned out. Able to hang on the "flow" during certain stage.

2 hours, Adobe PS3.

Woot. Nearly missing for a week. Went to my company trip last weekend. Super fun. Super crazy. Super experience. My 1st time playing paintball and rafting. Whats best is, my 1st time to get allergy symptom which last for 1 day!! Yay!! =_=

Perhaps I'm gonna share my trip experience next time, afterI get the photos from my colleague to show off.

For now, artwork!!! Speed paint, spend around an hour, excluding time which I used to help my friends with their tech probs ^_^. Done in photoshop, I'm liking photoshop more and more, perhaps for its control and post-pro features. Anyway, I did it with reference, Terminator 4: Salvation poster to be exact. I wanted to experiment with the concept-art-technique kind of feel.

Well, I plan to do EVA01 (speed paint again) tomorrow, since it's Friday night and I can spend whole late night without worrying working. Yay!!!

Gawd, am I being cheerful....

Ok. Old habit strikes. Got tired and lazy doing this piece for past 2 weeks. It's time to move on to a new project as well as trying some new stuff.

I started out not bad, got worse in the mid, and lost my motivation towards the end XP. Bah, at least I learned some stuff during the process. Should keep on practicing in order not to forget the things I've learned.

And I still can't grasp the flow yet... *sigh~~*

Done in Photoshop, not sure the time, but taken 2 weeks by spending few hours every night. Still a long way to go.... It's time for me to practice speed paint.

Nothing much, just progress check. Feel free to leave comments. Feel slightly dissapointed as it didn't turn out as I expected.

I still have a LOooooNG~~~~~~~~~~~ long way to go.......... T_T

Here I am, taking me 3 nights to get the lineart done. Like what I mentioned in my last post, it's a collab work between me and my friend Agito (you can view his uber-gay artwork here). The initial design was done by him base on a new design of Saber from Fate/Stay Night, which the developers call it "Saber Lily Version".

Well, I wanted to collab with Agito for quite a long time, since both of us are quite fond of drawing and painting. So, recently he suggested me to take his new piece of work to do my own tweaks. At first I thought of doing minor tweaks and modification, but got carried away and did A LOT of changes, sorry bout that ><.

He can really draw figures, characters and stuffs like that with super details. Though sometimes his detailing are too much and caused imbalance in his drawings, and now I'm there to "balance" it out :D. I did some changes on the armor part. For the upper body, I kept most of the design intact except making Saber more "expose" XD. For the skirt, well I changed a lot because of the extreme details and to make the flow better. Some minor tweaks on the armor boots, hands, and eyes, and posture, and I added more depth on the perspective as well. Finally, I changed Agito's badass sword to a more elegant and slimer sword to suit Saber's personality.

Well, for minor details and inscription on the ornaments, I'm going to add it only during painting process. And yes, I'm gonna paint it after this. Hopefully I don't screw up like I usually do =_=.

Sorry for posting late. I was away the whole day yesterday, due to some business and gathering with my old friends. Anyway, here's the coloured version of my Kappatron. I can't really say it's the final outcome, as I haven't touch up some details and the background. And I won't be completing it soon as well, just because I haven't done exploring vray for my intern which starts tomorrow =_=.

Well, like I said, it's a birthday present to my mentor/friend/housemate Alan, hahaha. You can view his gay works here http://genewiz.deviantart.com/. He's a mecha freak, so I thought of designing a mecha which suits him. As for the "kappa", well I don't really wanna explain why, LOL.

Drawing done by hand, wacom tablet, and corel painter 9. It took me quite some time, I'm still hell of a noob in painting, and I'm not out for a time attack, so yeah, this is the quality/standard I can produce now.

Okey then, again happy birthday to Alan (though it's still early to say it), hope my present suits you well.

I'm tired of doing Vray these few days. Just manage to draw few concept arts. Anyway, I'll post one of my recent concept art. Its a birthday gift to my friend. Though I'll be getting the colour done by either tomorrow or the day after that.

For the explanation, it's a mecha design base on the mythical creature from Jpan, Kappa (河童). For details, I'll elaborate after I get the colours done, LOL.

Anyway, these days I get migraine easily by wearing my glasses for whole fucking day. Just because of my freaking table, I'm sitting quite a distance from my monitor and I can't see properly without my glasses on, crap. And I seriously need a scanner.

Sorry for any delay of work, these few days it's either I'm busy on some chores or I'm doing my work on the paper. Unfortunately I don't have any scanner, so you won't be seeing any of my work in digital format soon.

In order not to disappoint someone who always check my blog for updates, here's another site which has a collection of my photos. Although I can't claim every piece is great, some does worth looking at.

Be adviced that it's a full flash website, it may take some time to load the page. And you may need to refresh once or twice to be able to get in. I'm so fucked up as my hard disk break down last time. I lost almost all my best photos along the hard disk. This is the only place that still keeps my work. Anyway, I'll be posting some of my top photos here. Enjoy.

Alright, since I have posted most of my previous work, I'll be slowing down abit now. Most of my post now will be on the progress of my latest work. Even though I'm slowing down my pace, I'm on a high-spirited-uber-skill-boosting-mode, which means I'll produce 'some' artworks even I 'm on a deathbed.

Unfortunately, I will not be completing this piece soon. I have some other skills (interior design) I need to pick up to prepare for my internship. Anyhow, there'll be more artwork to see (yay!!), though most of it will be in experimental stage.

Damn, how I wish I could complete this soon T^T. Recently, I have the strong urge in doing mechas and machines. It could train my detail modeling a lot, which I really suck at, orz.

The flyer/poster of our university's aikido club. Nothing special. I did the drawing using calligraphy style (my skill sucks XD) and further edited it in photoshop (POWA tool). Besides a self-defence, to me aikido is also an art. When I wanted to reflect "art" and "Japan", I tried approaching calligraphy technique to do the design.

Anyway, the calligraphy style I applied is inspired by a game from PS2, "Okami" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Okami) which relies heavily on cell-shading technique.

Btw, if anyone is interested in joining aikido, you can contact the numbers listed there, since there aren't much dojo to train, my uni is fortunate enough to have a dojo.
