across the pacific

my school life begins again in a whole new world! (cue Aladdin soundtrack)
so here's a bunch of sketches for a class assignment - we're supposed to design a playing card.. IN ILLUSTRATOR. not exactly my forte, but i'm going to take a stab at it.

SQUEEEE

for a friend (he's a Sakura fanboy)
happy birthday d! :D

au naturel

quick warmup.

fun filled biscuit treats

for a really really good buddy of mine :D

happy birthday!

OIC portrait day july'11

masterpiece in progress, by the great Bay.

collection of photos i took.

more people than i thought i would know appeared, and it was still fun despite the fact that i havent gone in ages. :D

and and there were Shiba Inus! *__*

where no islands should go

i got my free copy of Expose9 in the mail. :D

if you turn to P198, you might see something familiar.

it feels so surreal to see something you've done printed in a book alongside other very crazy awesome art. i'm going to try even harder for the next submission! thank you, Ballistic!

beetcake

some very nice loot i got from C.XI.
art trades, free drinks, and cool artists. :D

sluggy

bunch of images done for a concept pitch to a client. it's not a design-related project, the pictures were just requested to illustrate a concept on business innovation.

also, yes, this is the outcome of the afro jumping scribble from the previous post.

itchy elbows

i saw him on the train a couple months ago, and i had to scribble him out. very cool dude, despite being a bit chubby. tote, vest, shirt, oxfords, with a rosary (that i saw at F21!)

i haven't been painting, like painting painting for so long that the results of starting again after such a long hiatus is just godawful D8

everything's as if

we never said goodbye.

so i chose to work on the 4th thumbnail from here (pose so totally ripped from Bulbhead)
a poster for an event, because it has this condition that all artists are required to submit one to qualify for registration. fantastic.

child of the sun

moar thumbs. i think no one can understand these but me haha

looks like a solo

a freelance gig i did back in the end of 2010 for a local game studio, Secret Base. some game assets and CG stuff - the illustration here was used as the background image for the menu screen for Tobe's Hookshot Escape, which you can play on Kongregate here.

faxing berlin

buncha thumbnails for a poster thingamajig.
not really going anywhere.. opinions would be good :B

stroopwafel

these were A4 prints sold at a recent local event.
the response was surprisingly better than i thought hurhur
btw if you haven't caught STAR DRIVER, you should. amazing animation with an original story by the good people of Studio Bones *A*

it's always flying children

prints done for a local event.
a tribute to Ghibli and Mucha? i always wanted to try Art Noveau.

playlist: Rock Band tracks. weird i know

plateaus of practice

work stuff. backgrounds that, for several reasons, won't make it in to the final stage. well it was good practice.. but i don't think i'll be drawing any hardware shops for a while haha
