character heads

2009-07-14T21:29:00.004+08:00

no reference were used but i've been inspired by what i saw here.

character designs

2009-07-14T21:24:00.004+08:00

Final Project at LAS

2008-08-18T17:08:00.004+08:00

my final project at LAS was to model and texture a truck
with given references, within a span of 2 weeks.
(about 9 days as friday noon was the deadline.)
spent about a week and a half on modelling and UV.
i think i took only 1 and a half days to paint and weather the truck textures..
(wished i had more time : )
i chose the truck that i liked most amongst the many 1930s truck we had.
i was the only jumpster to choose this truck
so wasn't too stressed up by what the other guys were doing.
however this was one hell of a big truck with lots of details to it.
i think it was the colors that drew my attention to this truck.

anyway i decided to texture this truck as a homage
to one of my favourite artists
ashley wood based on his popbot designs.
alot of the textures were also based on the designs of tom muller
another one of my favourite graphic designer.

some close ups

texture maps.
1)

2)

so i didn't land the gig at LAS after 6 months of intensive training.
but i would like to thank LAS and EDB for making all this happen.
i had no prior 3D modelling experience but only passion and hunger
and now i can say that i know maya.
(which i thought was the name of some
hot european supermodel, 6 months ago : )

thanks to the following...
xavier,tad,aamir,nurul,reuben,gulaya,bertrand,justin,james,linda,amy
the trainers: marc and punn from LA.
the instructors: calvin, wayne, james mahoney and esther.
and everyone else whom i met at LAS.
you guys are all stars!
to the 6 that made it. it was a pleasure knowing you guys!
i had fun and was honoured to be in your presence.
sorry about my cold jokes.
to the 6 that didn't, myself included.
well sometimes sith happens.

gonna miss the thursday breakfasts, free movies,
beers after monthlies and life drawing classes!

keep trucking yo!

starbucks' here i come!

water

2008-08-18T17:06:00.003+08:00

had the great chance to meet john mahoney
and esther shin from Cal Arts during my stay in LAS.
i felt that it was very good working culture
for the company to organise such enrichment events.
and i signed up for 2. life drawing and drawing from film.

here are some of the painings i did.

life male model infused with reference from justin sweet

this is my first painting with water color. life male model

paintings done after work.
stared at greyscale maya model for too long.
needed to see some colors.
no reference.(tts y look a bit funky.)
random samurai fella and gas mask dude.

centaur fella (no reference.)
the tarzan dude had a male model reference.
his last pose for the day i remember.

life drawing of female model with reference
mecha elements by kow yokoyama infused to it.
1st 2 was more of a life drawing study.
the third was the mecha infused figure.

male figure drawing nude
but with visuals projected on his body via overhead projector.
1.

2.

water color is a very interesting media for me tho it's my first attempt at it.
should have done so a long time ago.
it's unpredictable and hard to control
(just like your wife/girlfriend/husband/boyfriend : )
but it never ceases to surprise you with their beauty and spontaneity.
(which is why you love em' in the 1st place ; )
still have lots to learn about this media so will practice and experiment more.

"why so serious..."

2008-08-18T17:04:00.003+08:00

water color experiment.
done before watching the Dark Knight.

Archer

2008-08-18T14:15:00.003+08:00

bird of prey

2008-03-24T00:09:00.003+08:00

greet death III

2008-03-02T23:21:00.001+08:00

so here's the final image.

it all started from a sketch on the train.
(sketching on the train in singapore is much easier than on the bus.)

some WIP shots...trying to use brown as the underlay for the painting.
not sure if it works well.

and here we go.
okie will stop doing all these fanart for now.
but i think i like this character way too much.
going back to modelling and UVs.
wish me luck!

Twilight chases the sun

2008-01-09T00:23:00.002+08:00

havent been posting much or painting for tt matter.
anyway, i whipped out one of my first paintings
i did on photoshop with my dear dear tablet...
i have no idea how bad the original one was.
well it's featured right here actually.

here's the work in progress...
you could see all the reference i picked up when
i was painting initially.
after i got a rough idea of what i wanted
i just let things flow on it's own...
even wanted to put some angkor wat photo n paint over it or something...
decided to put a buddy fella next to him and realise
it wld just complicate things...
oh well...keep things simple.

Twilight chases the sun is a fantastic album by a band called Furniture.
good luck finding it.

greet death II

2007-11-13T21:50:00.001+08:00

had to do a variant version.
it was so fun playing with the hues.
and was playing with the backgrounds.
corals maybe?
which one do you prefer?

started from a sketch on the train as usual

some work in progress
i start by painting in grayscale first.

looking at the 2 variants trying to compare which i liked more...

decided to whip out an old sketch
and started painting.
rather happy with the process.
it was fun.
had some time anyways.

greet death

2007-10-29T23:41:00.001+08:00

started from a sketch on the train

process

have always been intrigued by george lucas' phantom menace.
designed by ian maccaig and further pushed forward by a.m.bride's version
in visionaries... a bit of my own rendition.
hope it didn't look too bad.
started from a doodle on the train.
greet death is a song by explosions in the sky.
: )

vega collab

2007-10-29T23:27:00.002+08:00

still freelancing like a vagabond.
but one of the benefits is to meet different people,
different very talented artists like ken, bruce and keehong.
all from one of the greatest art schools across the causeway
one academy. not that this is some entry to advertise how good they are,
i'm very honoured to have come across them and meet them face to face,
exchange ideas, dreams and criticisms.
in fact my first art director i worked with, sok kuan was also from one academy.
: )
here is a humble paint_over and collaboration work
with one of the very talented artist i work with at an ad agency.
he's no other than keehong.
sorry if i made your art work look bad bro!
here's porcupine boy like wat muki calls it....

keehong's vega

process

we only come out at night

2007-10-02T17:39:00.001+08:00

a random character.
some zombie hunter
which somehow happens to look a lil like riddick.
started doodling and then just couldnt stop and had to
finish it if not it wld be left dangling in my folder
haunting me forever.
oh well. headin back to practice my anatomy.
no more random stuff like these.
: )
work in progress here.

working from black n white to color to get the values.
but the anatomy looks fucked so back to basics for me.

2007-09-15T05:23:00.002+08:00

大魔王与悟饭

2007-09-12T16:23:00.001+08:00

a big fan of dragonball z so here's a fan art.
i remember as a kid i would anticipate
with excitement every issue of the comic especially
when the z warriors were fighting cell and when magin bu
first came out we had such a good laugh
only to realise how powerful tt lard bucket was.

hope you know who the bird symbolise.
this image was inspired by
1 of the paintings of the great jeff jones.

experimenting with colors.
for piccolo the highlights i used orange and the shadows blue.
as we all know piccolo is green.
hope i didn't fucked up this piece tho.
C.C welcome as usual.

goodbye america

2007-08-11T03:49:00.002+08:00

a more painted and obvious version.

"they killed him cos he sold out.
he sold out cos they killed him."

they killed america.

predator vs samurais, jar jar pins feat. jedi master muki black hunter remix

2007-07-27T15:24:00.001+08:00

i was doin a repaint of an old sketch
trying to salvage it from the dumps one night.
and thankfully had some guidance and butt kicking from a friend.
time and again i've been told to practice from the fundamentals
and time and again it dint get into my thick skull
cos i dint know where to start
so this is where i started thanks to him.
drawing shapes and form.

and as i was doing so my friend did a repaint of what i sent him for a crit.
so i would like to use this opportunity to introduce this friend of mine
who happen to be a movie kaki and mentor.
drum roll for the kaiman if you dont already know.
ukitakumuki.
and a great honour for me that he did a repaint on my version.
looks different. looks wicked. looks better!
(in a brief moment of 3 hours
when i was still figuring out how to light a cube!)
niceblackkkj.

n here's where you could see my old sketches of the predator idea.

vagabond

2007-06-17T23:47:00.001+08:00

did a repaint after getting some valuable comments.
thanks lots guys!

bought issue 1 to 25 of vagabond
and i have been enjoying every single page of it.
the art is amazing.
couldn't help being inspired and doing something about it...
so i did this before my trip to phuket
and now i'm back i've decided to finish it.
well just a random doodle. not too much detail
and learning to get the values right.

could you help me out here?

open season

2007-06-05T21:02:00.001+08:00

did a new version lately...
threw in some dummy jap text
which says
"where is my home?"
it's written wrongly so i hope someone can comment
and tell me how to write it correctly.

here's the black n white version.
(my own lil way of learning about values...i know so little.)

a story i had in mind about 3 samurais
who were abducted by the alien predator tribe
and trained under the predator warrior code.
having survived and extinguishing their abductors
they try to find solace from where they came.
equipped with alien technology and skills far more
advanced and superior to this modern world
they can't help but feel alienated and remotely out of place
event though they have returned to a refuge that was once called home.

hmmm started this on a sunday evening
after a great dinner with friends.
couldn't get to sleep so decided to do some personal work.
something which i have not had a great luxury to do for a very long time.
gota start working on my portfolio soon. sighz...

bunny helmet- watch TV anywhere.

2007-05-06T22:05:00.001+08:00

did a repaint so yeah...

a study of craig mullins concept girl.

here's my version of it called
"bunny helmet-watch tv anywhere."
here's how it works the helmet she is holding
is actually a portable T.V. helmet thingy.
this way she would not miss any of her favourite tv shows.
the tall hat acts as a stool when she takes it off
and puts on her bunny helmet.

a rather bad doodle on studying craig mullin's concept girl.
but here's how it all started...
bad doodles.

and some WIP screen shots.
you can see the reference i used from craig mullins.
but most imptly the final should not look too much from the original.

havent been posting much finished work.
got lots of sketches and ideas in my lil sketch book
so stay tuned!

luv,
p

that wants to promote floorball in singapore.
a male viking and a female viking.
the venue where this sport is played is called the valhall.

this was the initial sketch for the client to see.

looks like the wind could blow off her G-string...

here's where you can see it online.

2007-01-03T17:12:00.001+08:00

this was done for my cousin's wedding
a last page of a slide show during the dinner.
i like the title "becos i love you."
cos u can run away from any tricky situation
from your loved ones with this line.
"why did you forget my bdae?"
-becos i love you.
"why did you buy me tt ugly action figure as a gift?"
-becos i love you.
"why did you eat my cat?"
becos i love you.
i miss the times when i got tt line as a sms.

hmmm an early valentine's gift to everyone cos
i'm always not in time for the festivities.
life is full of love.
pins can draw lovey dovey cute stuff too other than the
usual warriors and samurais.
inspired by mitsuru adachi of "touch"

warrior in the rain.

2007-01-03T16:59:00.001+08:00

repaint repain

a repaint of my first post on blogger.
this was the first sketch i've done
and now i've decided to do a repaint!
experimented with colors and texture
cos i've never really done something with a green tone before.

the banquet knight repaint.

2007-01-03T16:49:00.001+08:00

repaint repain

haven't been posting much stuff lately,
been working on a viking project and
hopefully when it's completed i can post it up.
but here's a repaint i did recently.
you can see the black and white version HERE.

i miss you

2006-11-22T16:13:00.001+08:00

i figured that the loneliest guy
in the world would be an astronaut.
he has just visited planet "paddle-pop"
thus the color of his astronaut costume...
besides it looks almost like a slightly more cheerful
prison outfit u noe, black and white stripes...
like he's imprisoned in space.

here's the sketch by the way that started it all.

dedicated to all the people we miss...

pins vs pink

2006-11-20T21:27:00.001+08:00

urmmm hi, this is not really a tutorial but
jus a sharing of ideas and techniques.

first of i start with a sketch.

then i throw in a simple bkgrd color and start to "painting with photoshopping."
the sketch is on a separate bkgrd with multiply as the setting.
i've never used pink in my work before so i've decided to give it a try...

now i paint over the layer of the sketch to cover up my messy lines haha
i've been told by many great artists to keep my lines clean
but to their dismay and horror i jus find it difficult to do so.
i like tidiness but when it comes to drawing i'm very messy...
i mus change...

i told myself ... "hey the john abruzzi hair has got to go..."
so goodbye long hair to mr pink warrior guy bye bye and hair no more...
the power of photoshopping.
now i need to enhance the bkgrd with a tint of blue.

almost there but mr itchy fingers pins have decided to add some little highlights
and lines to define the outline??? urmmm a small difference but hope you can see
hehe...

and it's almost done and i've decided to stop because the more
i stare at it the more mistakes i see...
so good bye for now or i'll never stop painting this dude...
work can never be finished...

need to go home and watch prison break!!!
wait... it's monday!!!
'DOH!

predator colored 2

2006-11-06T15:38:00.001+08:00

did another paint over of the sketch,
not too excited bout this one tho, sadly.
maybe cos i did this on a monday.

predator colored

2006-11-03T18:28:00.001+08:00

i've decided to paint on the sketch i drew.
something i have not done for so long...

Predator

2006-10-25T01:08:00.001+08:00

recently i dunno what came to me
i jus felt like drawing predator but...
with a twist. i had this idea of how the predator space ship
would travel to japan kill a few clans of samurai fellas.
they picked 1 of the best and decides to train him
to become 1 of em before he commits suicide as his whole clan has died.
the jappo samurai best of the best sword of honour dude
learns all the technology and hunting skills of the predator and probably wipes out
the whole spaceship of predators later...
i dunno jus a idea cos i think the predator and samurai share some
similar warrior code...hmmm....

so grab your average predator gear and put on samurai
who loses his top knot but still maintains the
i cut of half of my scalp's hair but leaves the back real long dude.

here's the 3rd sketch
this time in full gear with helmet and all.
did this on the train and finished it while waiting for friends
at olio dome. coincidentally when i was doing this piece
on the night itself they showed predator 2 on TV!!!

and now for the final sketch i did on the train
on my way to visit my grandad in hospital.
this one shows more of his samurai heritage haircut...

scam for CSCC standee

2006-10-18T10:33:00.002+08:00

a scam i did for a photoshoot that is to be
made into a standee, for a local church body.
girl on the left is supposed to be eunice olsen.
have decided to spend more effort on this one
cos lately i want my scams to be more polished
and look more presentable for the client.

Knight from the banquet.

2006-10-03T20:26:00.001+08:00

havent been drawing for so long and i feel so rusty.
i caught the "Banquet" and i must say i love that show
the company was great.
the cinematography was great
the art direction and concept design was great
zhang zhiyi was great
ge you was great
the scorpion was fake.

anyhow thought of doing this after watching it so yeah...

Solid Snake 2

2006-09-21T15:36:00.001+08:00

this was one of the projects that i was tasked to do.
brief was simple to promote four films
"murderball", "the beat that my heart skipped", "snowcake"
and "don't come knocking". had to do all these
within the space of the cathay gallery.

i wanted to do something different and inspiring at the same time.
the challenge for me was to think of a common theme
amongst these 4 films.they are individual with diffn storytelling
of course but i wanted to find something common amongst them
so that the gallery did not look too busy or haphazard.
promoting 4 very interesting and inspiring films
but having something to bind them together.

let's get working.

this was ground zero.

next had to plonk in some corporate text
to tell people what this is about.

insert film stills of the 4 respective movies as the background.

this is the middle section. i know it doesnt make sense now
but jus bear in mind that this is the middle part inside the gallery.

now this is the glass panel on the surface itself.

by itself it reads

"stand up", "follow your passion",
"Be free" and "do something unselfish".

but if you see it collectively from the middle ground, it reads like this.

"can you STAND UP even after
your spirit and your spine has been crushed?"
for murderball this was from the movie website
which i did some research on.
i felt that this line was exceptionally touching and inspiring.

for beat that my heart skipped.

it read "if you had a chance
to FOLLOW YOUR PASSION, would you take it?"
this line was from the movie trailer itself.

for snow cake it was

"would you like to BE FREE?
set free from all your demons?"
this was probably inspired by what sigourney weaver said in the movie.

for dont come knocking it was
"have you ever wanted to DO SOMETHING UNSELFISH
for the first time in your life?"

and lastly when you combine everything
hopefully it would look like this.

i wanted to do the gallery pretty simple
and clean cut with emphasise on the text and message.
the traffic around that area is pretty busy and i hope something
simple and neat would capture people's attention.
we are constantly bombarded by visuals and text in this busy world.
it's a real challenge to show that "less is more."
sometimes i wonder why is it so hard for me to make things simple.

although this idea was not chosen and we'll never see this in reality
but i was glad i did it and put my heart and soul to it.
there are many factors i feel to make this work
which is often not within the designer's control and that is
time and budget and what the client really wants.
even though if it's really inspiring or cool
it might not serve the client's purpose or corporate need.
they might like it but sometimes there might not be
enough budget or it's simply not what they hope to achieve.
the idea might not sell.

"the one who pays the piper, is the one who sets the tune."
a quote i learnt recently.

sagmeister said that he hopes he can touch
people's hearts with graphic design.
i hope one day i too can touch
people's heart with graphic design.
it might not be easy, it might not sell
but we should never stop pushing ourselves.
i hope i never give up on this thought.
reality bites you in the arse.
your rent is due and you've got laundry to do.

can design really touch your heart?

these four films are really great. i hope i can get tickets for all of them! YAY!!!
if not i better design something that sells and have money to pay for em! YAY!!!

"sorry, kid. but the good guy
can't always save the world.
sometimes he just does what he can...
eats his broccoli..
and hope everything works out."

from "spider-man ray of light" by kaare andrews.
