Lotr redesign. It's last week theme for Art Jammer Sg group. We are suppose to redesign lotr character into either steampunk or mecha. Pretty open. I'm kind of busy recently so i did some sketches instead. I did an Orc and Frodo. The last character is a fanart of Aragon base on the design, done by one of the member. Woofer Rae. She did a space Aragon. I love the design so much that i drew a fanart of it. Enjoy. :)

Cricket Joe. A personal IP that i have been toying with for a while. I have just recently started a facebook page on him. It's a experimental effort. I will try to constantly update it with comics, done more in a rough storyboard format. Something more manageable. Hopefully i can keep this going and slowly firm up his world. The idea is to do a long on-going series. Feel free like the page and follow the comics. The comics will be catorgise into different photo ablum. At the moment I'm working on series 00, which is the pilot episode for his whole adventure. Let's see where i can bring him. Enjoy. :)

Value study.

2011-07-15T10:42:00.001-07:00

Painting from memory. I realise if you can simplify what u are looking at. With a basic value scale. (Either a five scale range or a ten scale range. ) Alocating a rough range of values to different part of the scene you are looking at. You can roughy capture the illusion of light. But then again. Best situation is just go there and do a plein air painting. Just some exercise I have been trying out to practise even when i don't have any paint or sketchbook with me. :P

2011-07-13T09:40:00.000-07:00

Oil painting practise. The idea for this is mainly to try to understand how basic shape and material works.

2011-07-11T08:15:00.000-07:00

Trying to limit myself to a small value range and see how far i can push. Exploring Tonal values.
