Craves Winter Clothes

Bit stumped on what to draw today..so i decided to draw some asian fashion- yeah! Excuse the dodgey fob faces...The 3rd girls clothes is from yesstyle.com...i love their clothes ><
..
In other news, malaysia is in 2.5 weeks :O

Group Scene

Decided to practise my observation skills today!
Was going good til i coloured it in and added detail (background is disgusting ;__;)...urgh its so yuck now >< Everyone's so black and emo in that corner haha...

Must learn to be more patient with the ink ^^"

Mr Fantastic

According to tiff i'm gonna pick up Mr Fantastic with my pro jap ds learnt skillls :D

Hahaha yes. wayyy too much jdramas and anime for me ^^"...

Magical Pony

Finally done! Colouring pink ponies is not an easy task ><"

Back in Business

Me, random things in my room & characters from shojo manga - full house kiss.

Trying to get back in the habit of drawing again. Still going through my art block..but at least I have slight motivation to draw again.

So...I've decided to open up for commissions again to get my creative juices flowing ^^

Please let me know if your interested. Prices are:
$10 for black & white.
$15 for colour.
Prices are negotiable though- depending on your request :)

My specialty is mainly cartoons and birthday cards- but I'm flexible with other styles too! Check out my deviantart if you want to see my other stuff.

Please note..if you would like a print..I can print it for you. However you must be 100% sure you want it! Cause i've been jibbed in the past and they aren't exactly cheap to print -__-

So yeah that's it! If you commission me you'll be giving me worthy experience and curing a design student's art block^^

Note: Dorson if your reading this your drawing is almost done! Just need to colour it ^^"

HSM3

Catchy :D

Horton Hears a Who

Yesterday i saw Horton Hears a Who.
Aborable and funny movie :) The character designs for the dr seuss series are always so vivid and imaginative. I fell in love with it :) Definite must see!

IQ Test

Free-IQTest.net - IQ Test

I am a genius 8-)

Nakatsu!

Had time before work to draw something.
Still having my imagination block. -_- can't think of cool concepts to draw...
Which is why i decide to let my inner fangirl loose and draw Nakatsu! He is so funny and dorky in hana kimi xD ah he's prob the only reason why i want to finish the drama ^^

Hrm now that i think about the pic kinda looks like ichigo and rukia...

10 days worth of thoughts

I agree with Edward.
Gosh my colouring is shocking...

ALL TALK, NO ACTION

How sad. I couldn't think of what to draw so I thought I might as well make a list of things and put some silly drawing of me next to it lol. My writing and drawing skills have gone downhill...blast you design!! >_<

Anyway haha, here it is. A list of Must do's for this summer. Not very interesting. Every year I make one, and every year I only accomplish one or two -,- Since this blog is put on my msn name, hopefully i'll feel more inclined to doing something about it!

Expect more action ^^

Hello old friend

Why hello hello.
Ok so holidays have started- well 4 weeks ago, and I must say my holidays have been unproductive! After vowing to do more illustration artworks when uni finishes, it seems I have neglected my word yet again. I haven't even had time or motivation to even bother drawing. Most of these days have been spent at the new shoppo (ah, pretty yet expensive), watching the weekenders (love) or just going out...

So so, I now demand to take action and start doing illustrations pronto! I am quite tempted to delete everything on this site, cause well...youtube clips are just ugly =,= But i guess i better keep it for referencing sake...

If you want to check out all my briefs just take a looksie here.

Anyway ciao! hopefully more illustrations to come ^^

Brief 4 - Motion type

Final!
This took WAY TOO LONG.
I think i spent most of the time waiting for the previews to loads...until i realised i could change the resolution to make it go faster {doh} >,> ...also the rendering was a pain to do. Took half an hour to render..than the file turned out to be 945mb O_O..that should be a 2 hour movie not a 30 sec vector clip ==" AND then my video convetor wouldn't accept it so i had to keep compressing it with the render options ;_;

AH rant.
But yes despite all failures, quite happy how this turned out. I guess.. could've been more adventurous with the camera angles? oh dear. Surprisingly, i didn't get sick of this song though :) Ah michael buble you can never fail me ^^

Eighteen.

Images by Montygog from deviantart
Lately i've been really interested in retro style cartoons. Theres just something about this style i find so intriguing. The humourous character features, simple shapes and warm colours kinda gives it a designer feel to them, without being so conceptually serious ^^? if that makes sense haha..

Teenage spiderman! I might use this in my animation somehow..
(Note: was eventually traced for final frame since spiderman is very hard to draw freehand ^^")

Seventeen.

Hehe thought this was amusing :)

Sixteen.

Gosh youtube is making my blog so ugly atm =.=
Well i've decided to do the spiderman theme sung by Michael Buble- he sure is eye candy ^3^ Another superhero piece i guess =D I probably look like i have a comic book fetish now ey- ah well, nothing wrong with that....right?



since my song has a jazz tempo to it- i was thinking of doing something similar to this. this is the opening for catch me if you can. wow what a great movie- i give it my ultimate thumbs up haha...but i like how the sillouettes & symphony orchestra help create a mysterious atmosphere to the opening. the typography also blends in wonderfully with the scenery.

here are a few more i found which have a similar aesthetics.


^ kiss kiss bang bang with robert downey jr ^^


^ casino royale with daniel craig! ^^


^ thank you for smoking- quite effective even though it just looks like the generic after effects tools


^ hallam foe - no idea what this movie is about but i thought the illustrative technique by david shrigley was pretty cool :)

Fifteen.

clever and simple :)
The "i" in the beginning is so smoooth and in sync! ahhhh i think i'll do a jazz type motion now ^^

Fourteen.

Found this one ages ago. I like how the animation, music and words are synced together..unlike those other boring floating text ones -,-



This song is kinda boring, but the patterns and colours are pretty kool ^^



Haha good choice of music for this one :)



Monotone graphic designer- nicely executed

Thirteen.

Ooo i'm a roll here XD
Found these guys on Behance.
Alex Trochut

I love how he incorporates typography and illustration together. Funny how he uses the placedholder text ^^I wonder if i can do this sort of style for typo poster2? hrmmm
Si Scott
The shapes and movement is absolutely stunning. You really feel a sense of grace and fluidity with this design. Would be useful for my koi abstract piece.

Twelve.

For those of you who are familiar with Mary Blair, here is another concept artist for Pixar/Disney.
Lou Romano

The atmosphere and perspective he creates is wonderfully dynamic and beautiful. Feels exactly like the movie stills. Hands down, working for disney is the best job in the world ^^

Other good ones is Nate Wragg and Don Shank. I may have mentioned them before in my previous posts. I have more pixar/dreamwork artists in my bookmark but can't seem to find them hrmmm...I sound like a blog stalker -,-"

ME + DESIGN STUDIO X___X

Brief 3 - Final

Final for brief 3!
Captain crust will eat u in 30 secs :O BEWARE

Brief 3 - Practise

Fiddling with aftereffects.
Originally story was gonna be about a gardener/superhero cause i wanted my superhero to be a pansy macho man ;) But then it didn't really flow that well....

Brief 3 - Sketches

Frame & character sketches & SUPERMAN!
Had to cut out first pic since my storyline was too long -,-
Hrm it's probably not that noticeable but i wanted to base my character design similar to johnny bravo. Tank guy whos a ditz/pansy. Hrm this brief should be interesting :)

Ten.

Cute animation about recycling :) I like how this person utilizes foreground and background- and the character movements are simple yet executed effectively ^^


This is probably one of my fav lyric after effects videos i've come across. The elements of colour, type and rhythm make this video very engaging to watch :)

Nine.

I was listening to muse and i remembered this video clip they did :)



Kind of a cross between its a small world, lego men & evil bear bricks haha. The transition between good > evil and past > present is a perfect contrast to muse's heavy driven rock style.
I really love the animation style of the video clip- and that guitar solo WOW :D

Eight.

PSYOP - multimedia
Whoa first time ever relevant research for a brief =O
This company has some really nice & diverse motion graphics - check it out! Make sure u see Coca cola 02 + motley bird + valantines day :D:D:D:D

Brief 2

Photomanipulation brief found on worth1000.com
I must say that website is quite inspirational for photo manipulation ^^
I chose to do pokemon!! Cause pokemon is awesome.

The episode where turtwig gets captured by pikachu ^^ gotta love youtube research.

My final submission.
I thought turtiwg would be easy to do..but it wasn't!! The stupid tree took agesss to find and blend properly..especially making the brown bit on the head look real....Hrm some bits are a tad overshadowed and prehaps more highlights could've bn added...but overall i'm quite happy with my ugly turtwig :)

The making of the turtwig.

next up-after effects brief!
i'm excited about this brief i have been waiting so lonnnnnnnnnnnng to do animation!!!!!
...

koren shadmi - comic artist

browsing for some inspiration for my illustration project...bit lost since i don't have a consistent style of drawing :/

Five.

I was browsing some design websites avoiding my BIA project when i came across this guy.

Brendan Monroe - Painter & Sculpture
His line work, colours and control is really breathtaking. What most people try to imitate in photoshop he does it with acryclic- even better :D I also love his wooden scupltures..their facial expressions are funny ^^

Brief 1

Er since this blog is suppose to be about me showing my work & not just about other cool talented artists, here's my first brief submission ^^ kinda late but o well~


TADA! Basically it's koi in a pond. I love the way they move. so graceful- however, if you see a million of them in a feeding frenzy they are quite gross :S...

yeh... this piece isn't exactly abstract, but fish concepts are far too awesome to leave out of a design brief ;) Originally got the idea from this picture and also my dad's purchase of 7 fish the other day hehe


Scratchpad

Feric.
This guy is so cool :D Love how he mixes the elements of living organisms and mechanical mechanisms together ^^

Illustrator/Graphic designer - Azul de Corso

I've been following this designer for years now. The way she uses pattern and shapes to form a distinct picture has always intrigued me :)

Glennz - Tshirt company
Tanking it out. Get it? Haha too funny.
