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.

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

ize

German and Dutch colleagues farewell portraits.
oh, the power of halftones. /sarcasm

diverted

two beautiful abstract videos i've been playing at work, in the background.

distracted

the house from Pixar's Up is REAL.

the boss dropped these two postcards on my desk, a campaign to stop overfishing the blue tuna. i thought the ad concept was riveting. the postcards have way more blood though.. @__@

noise on the train

so i was on the train today and i noticed the carriages were plastered with selected works submitted to the Noise Singapore 2011 Festival Showcase. there were some very cool stuff to see, but it was kinda hard to navigate my way up and down the train through the grumpy morning crowd, so i decided against it.






you can view more shots of the works here
i had also submitted some of my work for the showcase, but as i couldnt see any sign of them from where i was gawking, figured that none of them made the cut.
big surprise on Facebook, when i was linked to the album and spotted this:


wow. this is just.. wow. i mean, seriously, wow.
this is the first time i've seen my work displayed in such a public location, and i felt so overwhelmed when i saw it. i am endeavoring to try to get a look in real life on the train before it gets taken down.
this is one of those times when you just feel so.. overcome.
this is when you realize that you want to create even more, to fill the world and inspire it, and just leave an impression on as many people as you can, even if it's just for a moment on a busy train.

work update

currently working on a short project for a company developing a business/serious game. this is kinda vaguely related. just a comic panel draft i did for my boss's presentation..

my hat is awesome

something fun i doodled at work.
kinda late to usher in the Lunar New Year, but better than never!
Adventure Time is good for those periods where you need to just kinda space out and kill some brain cells. healthy for the soul.

following the red line

because i was in such a good mood today, i decided to get in on some color practice. still need to do more for sure. what a way to kickstart the new year.
