Time for Environment.


Here>>~~ My first environment for year 2008. It is always one of the subject i wish to approach.

Due to it involved a lot of accurancy in perspective issue, sense of depth, atmosphere, and form & lighting. I rarely do environment as painting fun.

This piece was done after i "incidently" viewed a conceptart sketches of the day, DSG 1334 : Environment : The Incredible Egg-Tech-Scape, A top the complex Cyber Domes. I don't completely understand what is "A top the complex cyber domes means". I just wanted myself to finish something without thinking too much before i had my lunch.

I finished almost 50% of the basic layout. Completed the whole piece with another 2 hours something. Totally around 3 to 4 hours, I guess. Whenever i try to force myself keep painting from an ugly looking piece. It will eventually flows in some magical sparks into it.

I believe the theory from Marko Djujervic. Don't give up too soon in your art. There are alot of information still haven't pulling out from my brain. It could be serious stress out if you are in a bad mood.

This one was finished under a relaxing & calm mood. It is fast & pretty fine for the final result.
Time to spent more time in environment.


Here are a few brushes test from m@ in conceptart. One of the coolest artist. Hope to learn from a person like him. It is my ambition to reach his standard. haha. Thanx for the greatest effort to m@ for sharing these awesome customize brushes.

p/s:You need to draw some background sometimes. To get a job faster in industry. Environment is the faster way.

Silencio


This piece was done before i went to sleep last night. Drew this outta my mind after viewed those photos of important peoples in my life from the past to present days.

Inspired by shadowplay from Joy Division.


It's time to start some mechanical design. Don't restrict myself ever again.
Try before i said I can't.
Paperblue is always my greatest inspired artist. What he did is my motivation when i am low.

This dude expressed the feeling after the last chat session with her. So here she goes again.
I need to move on.
It takes pain, tears, torn, guts, sorrow and a lot of my time to pick up the shattered pieces back to a look-able shape. The crack is there to remind me this damage. It would be as good as a motivation & a promises.

These few days was my very tough hours to hack in my life. Why every chinese new year of mine sure stucked with some impact which i couldn't erased easily.

Missing her. Sorry to make the purest person becomes twisted and deformed-minded.

Everything she own goes away. It hurts even more when you realized it was caused by you.

Look at her pic & own parents picture.
My deepest sorry to all of them.

I am never intended to hurt anyone in their heart & soul. I am bearing with the torturing & sacrify here to towards my goal.

Things would never be accepted until you eventually make it.

How far this will go on?!

Get this over with my solo force. (again, again, once again, another again...) like i usually did all the way down.

haha..Happy MICKEY year~!


I had spent around 3 days for this piece before Chinese New Year. It had been a while i didn't try to complete a full piece painting. I was painting the character and added the background later on.
I think this is my current best piece. It would be stay best for a while. Cause i am going crazy right now. PAINT! PAINT! PAINT!... GIMME PAIN PAIN PAIN.. DARN IT~. I gotta discipline my life style even more.

I still couldn't sleep with 5 hours per day. I am such a sleepy head. Issit normal? I am believing i am staring at my monitor to paint too many hours sometimes.
Tell me how EDISON!. I mean the Greatest Inventor scientist.. hee..

This one was actually done before Chinese New Year. I was tried to paint a dino directly from my memory. Then i planned to add a scene to it. Tonight, i spent around 2 hours to finish the whole painting, included lighting, sky, big dino skin, overall atmosphere. Anyway, it is a lousy piece. I just try to push myself to complete a poor-looking painting.


Hee.. My brothers all went back. I haven't painted for a week due to the Chinese New Year festival. Eating, playing, enjoying whatever like the same old year. So, i did this yesterday. I am trying to bring back my freaking creatures imagination. Drawing too many humans for so many months.


Done by yesterday too. An effort to produce a 3D-alike image. Don't guess what it is. It is a FREAK. I kinda like the outcome. It looks pretty cool to me.


So, what i had done today. This little girl i did in the afternoon. Never done something in high detail so quick and "interesting". I couldn't grab the look from the sketch. I am still no good enough as usual.

p/s: Now i remember why those master image looks so crispy & vivid. I read about using the Filter>sharpen the image. It will bring up some details of the downsize image. It really helps to make my painting more alive.




So, i reupload the image which i sharpen both of them. Compared it yourself. The previous one is blurry. Current piece looks more crispy clear. Thanx to my brain.

HAPPY MICKEY YEAR..YEAH!
I don't haf money to attend EXPLOSION IN THE SKY CONCERT!... aiksss....
