When I was still living in that small town named Tanjung Malim (Malaysia), there was a railway station near my house. I used to, erm.. sort of trespass the station, the play and run around the railway and wagons. If lucky, I might find off-shift locomotive resting there. It was fun having a kampung (country) childhood.

Hello Honey~

I have been looking at some works by Ashley Wood lately and got inspired by his impactful finishing and brush strokes. This is a try out in SAI with a single layer workout. As usual texturing was done in Photoshop. Bell bottoms, Vespa, bright Indian boy in yellowish theme, retro enough yea.

This is an entry of mine for the Fantasy Earth Zero Contest. I have chosen sorcerer category, ended up with this design. She is a Wizard of Words, posses the power of manipulating words obviously. Books and feather quill pen will be her equipment. I am quite happy with the color scheme. The character could have been better but i have got another report to rush. Well, good luck to myself.

Last weekend was a off leash one, 2 close friends celebrated their B’day. And we spent nights watching worldcup. Hah, here i am left with the contest deadline and report which i probably might flunk.

It has been a total void for the whole month May. I am such a crappy procrastinator. What can i say~ something beautiful happened for the past few weeks. Whatever the upcoming will be, it has been a wonderful month.

Hookay~ here i am back with this piece. It’s a scene from a picture book named ‘Selina, the Mouse, and the Giant Cat’ by Susi Bohdal, a simple story that talks about courage. I spent quite some hours on the little houses. I think the colors haven’t been chosen wisely that they draw the attention away from the main subjects, Selina and the Giant Cat. Not quite happy for that matter.

Here is the video work flow (I did some adjustment after picking opinions from people around) :

Those who read always portray attractive temperament of calmness, wisdom and knowledgeability. I do read occasionally but totally not a person of words. For those who reads, happy reading.

I have used blue as the base hue for the skin, a weird scheme perhaps.

Btw, i would like to introduce the group Matryoshka to you all, they made great tunes.

The 1st assignment of the art club, well… the theme was “Samurai”, yea pretty typical, i know.

I was trying to minimize dependency on outlines, it was fun starting of without lines and carving out forms bit by bit. If you watched the workflow video, you might be wondering “why did you start off with his naked body instead of the armor?”. Well, cause i changed my mind halfway.

A collaboration with friends,

Draft : Nori (yea, thts  her. She can draw incredible anatomy without any construction lines, scary)
Inking : Arc Chen (multi-talented, he is basically a walking encyclopedia)
coloring : me

I seldom design character with complex outfit. This really burn my patience, ended up pretty rough.

Get the full reso outline here if you wish to give it a try.

Lucky to have a my work “Action Anime” to be selected as daily deviation weeks back. It has been a great exposure to my DA gallery. Here is a little present i did for the Gift-giver. Hope she will like it. That was a lucky week with DD together with my cover story on PixelArt Magazine.

BGM of the video by Capsule, a Japanese electronic duo. Although labeled ‘electronic’, the group infused elements of various genre including French pop, bossa nova, lounge house and pop-synth into their composition. You will be surprised broswing through their songs.
