スカイ·クロラ

well it's been a long time since i updated!
was in the States for 9 weeks to intern at the MIT Gambit Lab, basically doing my part in making some cool stuff which will be up real soon!
just got back from a vacation in Hokkaido as well, breathtaking countryside scenery. and the ramen! *A*

i finally managed to get through The Sky Crawlers as well, forgive me Mamoru Oshii fans. i can't exactly appreciate slow-paced animations, haha. here's the opening sequence for The Sky Crawlers though. absolutely loved the music and backgrounds, maybe because i'm such a sucker for skyscapes.
also, Kenji Kawai is amazing.

kitty

this is the awesome cat that lives in the next block. i can die from its adorable fluffiness every time i meet it.

the queen and her carp.

this started as an inside joke.. i don't know if i'll ever finish this without grinning stupidly every time i work on it.

a friend just informed me that looks like a piece of toast floating above her head! toast crowns ftw yall.



in other news, i'm going to be in Boston for 2 months! :D

pixar and forks

a post without any artwork!
finally got a chance to go down to the Pixar: 20 Years of Animation exhibition at the local Science Centre.
pretty amazing stuff, it's one thing seeing all these work in a published book, and another thing to actually see them on the scraps of paper or canvases they were originally created on.
and the Toy Story zoetrope! it's like magic! but actually science. haha.




ramen fork, designed by Takahashi Masami for Sugakiya, a Ramen-ya in Nagoya, Japan, for their 60th anniversary.

is this like the coolest thing ever or what?! i want one! .. despite the fact i use chopsticks to eat noodles.. and i don't really drink the soup.. but whatever.

バット

trying starting out with pure color instead of grayscale like i'm used to.
inspired and influenced by the ever-awesome work of loish.

nice people suck.

apparently so.
just some weird crap. have i mentioned how stuck i get when i'm doing landscapes?
maybe i should do more.

目を呪わ

he's actually fictional, so i don't know if crossing over to the realistic-ish side was a good idea. i think i made him look like a fag little girl. owell. .____.

he's the most tragic protagonist/antagonist i've seen. >:

they're back!

if you remember this and this that i did a while back.. well i got around to making s'more.




enjoy!

penne with basil pesto

that must be the most realistic looking pair of glasses i've ever painted [and i want them in real life too!]

aghast

holyshtz it's a boy! (and a cute one at that)

but i probably scrambidismorgified his face. the horror. D:

it was a slow day, maybe because of the rain. from top, guy who involuntarily posed because he wanted to sketch everyone else who was facing in his direction, Pomeranian with really huge eyes and her owner, and a rare Dalmatian sighting.

boston here we go

another face. stole from my cousin's blog, so i guess this goes out to him. thanks for the free tea the other time. :D

therapy please.

portrait for kicks, done between turns during online monopoly hahaha. had to do this over once because the power to my notebook got cut before i saved. /rant
would anyone know of good brush settings for unruly curls like hers?

naming a dolphin Flipper is like naming your kid Limb.

i'm kind of glad i got to keep this, because i really like it. couple of showdogs that sat for their portraits but wouldnt stop fidgeting. haha. GOLDEN RETRIEVER!

yes, i really really like dogs. and i wish i had one. nice big and furry.
a Night Fury like Toothless would be nice too.

unearthing.. what?

when i was doing this i had to keep reminding myself NOT to make it look like Sakura a la Street Fighter. must have been the school uniform.
most of the time was spent on figuring out a square layout. haha.

the sun will shine like never before

for the two best october girls i know. thank you for being awesome.
mushiness will not be repeated here haha.
oh and bonus! a psuedo cover i made for kicks. 8D

portal

and that was the last thing anyone ever heard Bob say before he abruptly vanished at the entrance of his bathroom.


yay more speedpaintz with Randize and crew.
theme was portal. couldave been more epic but owell other priorities are a-calling >:

2359 hung

XIII postcards and SFIV stickers for an event.
inspired by the wonderful punching bag silhouette.
Noctis's costume is severely disappointing :[

ninjas vs cowboys

a sneak preview.
her face was a happy accident.. i have never been so proud of happy accidents before!
now let's hope i can muster my willpower and determination and the rest of the piece will turn out the way i want.. rargh
