crits would be awesome =>

She has a frog balloon

your argument is invalid









life drawings

I think aside from the occasional Bioshock progression, I've played no games since school started =<. I think i get depressed if I dont excercise my need to play them vidya gaems.


watercolours at life drawing






rushed film concept images for class pitch

Rise my pet

working on portfolio stuffs =>

not enough time and too much games

cars

I sketch cars in the parking lot during breaks at work sometimes. These are done on cardboard that I use to write down the stuff I need to bring up lol. I threw away some of these with the lists I write down by accident too haha


random 1hour chrome study

Impel Down

ok no more one piece, so tired of painting faces.

Boa Hancock

Boa Hancock, Royal Shicibukai, ate the "emotion" devils fruit. Supposed to the most beautiful pirate in the world of one piece haha.

trying another different style with this one.

Ivankof

LOL

Kingdom Queen Emporio Ivankof, ate the Hormone devils fruit. Has the power to manipulate the different hormones in everyone. Prime example is freely changing anyones gender. And somehow her powers allow her to deflect any attack, but who cares when you can change someones gender on the fly ahhah.

Blackbeard

Blackbeard, ate the darkness elemental devils fruit

uh, not motivated on this one at all, trying another style, didn't work out that well, and I don't like the colours ;_; but this is whats good about doing something once a day, you dont work on it forever trying to fix it, just doing the best you can and moving on =>

gonna do a female next, I need a break from manly pirates. crits would help =>

Magellan

Magellan chief warden of impel down, ate the poisonman devils fruit.
Probably my favourite one piece "arc" bosses, hes the main antagonist in the current arc but it's written so that you really understand his motivation for protecting his prison, I root for him secretly =>

Crocodile

another one Piece portrait, these are getting really generic really fast, but I kinda wanna do a series of these. Learned to paint some gold and feathers in this one. learning a lot from these quickies >)

Sir Crocodile, sand fruit user. One piece has SOOOO many bad ass characters wow. He has a fking gold hook. It's actually bigger in the manga but I couldn't fit it so I had to make it smaller =>

Jimbei

A practice piece today that I actually finished rendering, instead of moving on, can't seem to finish pieces these days =<

Jimbei the knight of the sea, one of my fav new characters from One Piece, although he is just a one dimensional support character.

maybe daily?

Thinking about doing dailys

today at work they were talking about some UFC so I did a sketch after work => ugh, working really sucks but its a neccessity. I'm trying to not blame work and saying I don't have enough time to practice, so I'm aiming to do productive stuff even after work. No procrastinating haha.

1.5 hours prob, I WANT TO RENDER MOOOOORE, but I need to sleep now -.-

E3 2009 = awesome

no reference fail

anyways E3 this year is sooo win, so many awesome games coming out. FF13 just looks better and better, another year left FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

metroid trailer was mindblowing when watching the nintendo conference live. The FF14 announcement was Meh. Golden Sun DS, Heavy Rain, Uncharted 2, awesome awesome awesome, can't wait to play them. Assassin's Creed actually looks really sweet now, throwing daggers at unsuspecting enemies? EPIC

=x

boy I'm nervous about my G drivers test =x

painting

yay finally done. Around 2 weeks work.

The concept for this painting changed a lot from the initial stages. This is for that good vs. evil thing on dA. I wanted to show how choice and perception affects everything. Me and Wesley and some guys were just chatting a while back about the environment and stuff like that and wes mentioned that even though we're aware of what we are doing and are aware of all the changes that need to be done, we don't do it. And how we always say the experts would figure it out, but the thing is, that the experts and scientists or whatever HAVE already figured out how to solve the problem and has been telling us what to do for so long. Stop burning fossil fuels, too much forest clearcutting, eat healthier, everything like that. We choose to keep doing the things we do and if we don't change ourselves, then there won't be a miracle solution to our problems until we get pushed to the very edge of the cliff. if you eat fast food and shyt on a regular basis and yet you're middle aged and complain about health problems, no fking shyt.

Perception, is our point of view, how we view the things around us. In this painting I wanted to show the dual aspects of perception. do you perceive the monsters to be the "bad" guys hunting the innocent woman in the forest or is the woman the "bad" person taking their fruit and the monsters are just guarding their dominion against outsiders. I think sometimes we give judgment too preemptively. I know i do it a lot, something to try and change =)

anyways that was a lot of rambling, Crits really wanted thanks =)

April Update

FINISHED SCHOOL ASSIGNMENTS...YES

the last 3 weeks has just been INSANE, crazy busy, but its now over, I really bsed all my final assignments =<, not a good thing, rushing things makes you not learn as much as you could. I find that it's only in times where you actually have no spare time that you have the most creativity and urge to paint/draw/do things for yourself. Figures, and probably this drive that I have now for creating pretty things will probably leave me by the end of the week leaving me to do nothing for the summer haha, lets hope not =)

usual doodles




DS colors

This one was pretty fun, everyday before I go to sleep, I spend up to 30 minutes painting a part of my room on Colors for 4 days. I turned off all opacity control to practice colour seeing and basically choosing all the colours i put on the canvas. Then I put them together, pretty cool, there's only 4 parts to the collage and you can tell where they end cause my perception of colour of my walls change every day haha. A little bit of editing in photoshop to connect them as best I can, the panaramic perspective is a little wierd to illustrate.

another day's 30min closeup study of my water cup

Layout 3hour speedpaint

I noticed I have uploaded a layout painting with each of my posts, so I'll continue that haha. This is a long pan for storyboard so the composition when seeing this whole thing is just aweful. Not even going to go through all the bad parts about it.

WIP

A wip i'm working on, started the sketch like a month ago, never got time to work on it, I'm still at a sketch tweeking stage where I'm moving stuff around and changing stuff for the composition, I'm gonna take my time with this one, hopefully I can use all the things I've learned these past months and use it.

Critiques are always welcome, say mean stuff, don't hold back =) if you really want, you can post anonymously (I think I turned anon posting on).

March Update

Uploading a bunch of random sketches and doodles. I really want to do some pokemon fanart =/, but boy it's so busy these days it's insane.

first up DS Colors doodles, facebook doodles, any sort of random unfinished doodles.
