May! I got my job... damn.. (finally...)

Lotsa sketches in May. Somehow, i only showed those which pushed me to another level.

Early May :


Middle May :


End of May :





I like the idiot Cop which only spent me little time. And Octopus was done yesterday nite. Pretty cool feeling about it. It is about composition, perspective & space utilized in a drawing.

this is the first image i done to apply these knowledge. I know it looks amateur. I won't estimate myself. Give me more time..

I got my job. I was drew crappy things everyday. I am really sux in environmental ...haha..
Again, give me more time. I am growing up in every failures.

Learn something?!

The first picture is a Demon wif three-headed wolves & striking weapons which holds by its forceful arms. Dat's the warrior having a two-headed cobras as partner in his fighting.

Afterall, i had did my best to paint it at my best potential at dat moment. It tooks me roughly 1 week to amend the character design, posing, anatomy. Overall painting is taking only 30% of my 1 week. Gosh... it is still looks awfully bad when i submit to Conceptart & Cgtalk. Too many mistaken such as Demon Symmetry, anatomy, Flat image & unrecognized movement.
Ok, let it bypass. I am doing more study in whatever that interest me (once again).

The following two images was made for the local Game Company. I am glad the employer like it so very much. I can say both are my current best coloring at a day. I hope i can make the job as a freelance commission. Stay poor, Stay hungry is always the most natural motivation to do something more efficient. The best way to test your determination on something truly. Nice quote from Steve Jobs.

Now i have to deal with "Still doing it" even when you are contented.

More reading on Fashion now. Good for character design & so much inspirations to store.
John Galliano makes me believe Marko Djurdjervic design is not illogical anymore. Actually, i neva thought bout Marko design is not logical to put a car number plate in front chest. It was one thing had been mentioned by Massive Black's Artist. Too many logical sense & rules for a character ideation can loosing quite a lot of fun.

Truly, both of em inspired me in the same way. I like the extreme & cutting edge concept in their design!

I will trying for something like this. I am actually not very like formal-looking character design..haha..

1st Quarter of year 2007

In the Nov of 2006, i had finally started a sketchbook in www.conceptart.org. i was asked around how to paint properly with more techniques. And i found myself was worked under an improper wacom setting in adobe photoshop. Supposed to be the Wacom Driver couldn't detect correctly to get the wacom pen working perfectly. No Wonder it took me ages to smooth & blend something much nicer. After February 2007, under a super tips from a conceptart forumer. It was a new beginning to experience with Wacom Tablet all over again with but much faster producing works.

Last Quarter of 2006

I was trying to understand what is Value painting, reflective light or atmosphere lighting. Still the struggling stages to understand how to paint faster & efficiency. In fact, i still don't understand how to paint in B&W and before applying the exactly color that i want to have. Psst...

CGTALK CHALLENGE : The Journey begins (2006)

Hell+'0', this is the most serious painting for year 2006. It was for the Cgtalk-The journey begins challenge. Badly i couldn't managed to post the Final Image on time. It was a terrible storm day. A very loud thunder stroke my modem. Arrrgh~!... And it was the 2nd times horrible storm rain at Malacca after 20 years. How 'Lucky' i am.

This painting took me 1 weeks something. Hee.. Yeah, i know i am dat slow. I tried the best i could delivered. I forced myself to finish this due to i felt so bad i couldn't complete a previous Cgtalk challenge. So, never start up something you couldn't afford to lose. Maybe this is personal's behaviour. Not everyone will feel so bad bout being "irressponsibility".

Random doodling in the Earlier quarter of 2006. I know it's crap. It was a crappy year to me.

Random doodling in year 2006.
I tried to find the fastest way to render color. Blending & smooothing technique was my biggest concern. Frankly, I don't know what i was trying to do paint efficiency in the almost 2 years i got my wacom. I just keep painting everyday & every hours to explore something new. I've got no mood to look for proper job until i found the essense in painting digitally. It was a thoroughly depression in every paintings i had done in year 2006. I don't want to rely on Mood to paint. I need to achieve a robotic & natural sense to paint correctly & efficiency. It is hard to control a mind to be that strong & discipline. Wooo.. A hard year indeed. I couldn't forgot i cried in front of my dad which i failed to paint better. (Hee...It was a bloody nightmare. The worst & remorse dream i ever have. Gosh..this pressure could kill my soul anytime!)
