: )

pingfan

a reference sketch of a portrait by ping fan.
digital photoshop.

weapon X BWS ver2.0

fanart, reference study of barry windsor smith's
weapon X. still experimenting with watercolors.
nowhere near as good as his original version.
but had to get off my butt and
do something about one of my fave mutie.
tribute to my late cousin who started it all.

scenes

studies with primary and secondary colors.

lights and color pigments.

wanted to pick myself up again.
2 painting studies i did in 1 night.
referenced from "practical guide to painting"
by vicenc ballestar/jordi vigue.

water

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.

Twilight chases the sun

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.

v3

kamen rider one of my favourite heroes of the 80's!

on the malaysian channel it was dubbed in malay
"ksatria baja hitam!"

大魔王与悟饭

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.

i wish to learn.
: )

bunny helmet- watch TV anywhere.

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
