Evolution

Piranesi is a quite extreme drawing technique. I went to my friend's place and she showed me her sister's piranesi assignment for uni. Oh my gosh, i was speechless and in fact i am still. It has so many lines and the only way to complete the drawing is just to.. well.. draw the lines.. So this extremeness has quite inspire me to draw something. I decided to do a very simple doodle.. just to experiment with the lines. My drawing above is farrr faarr away from piranesi, but i had fun haha. I have always been a fan of sketch-type drawing, so i think i will spend some time to explore the techniques. The drawing itself is about evolution, but this time it happens from graphite to mechanical pencil.

It's Jimmy the Bird

Jimmy the Bird

I was quite into Angry Birds few months ago and it inspires me to draw a bird. So here is my fan creation bird for Angry Birds :D. His name is Jimmy, a quite confident and smart little bird from Eastern tropical jungle. Say hello to Jimmy everybody :)

My Mom told me once

first kinetic text experiment! :) -

Quote from a movie Taken (2002), spoken by the little girl character, Allison Clarke, 

"My mom told me once that when you're afraid of something, what you want more than anything else is to make it go away. You want your life back to the way it was before you found out that there was something to be afraid of. You want to build a high wall and live your old life behind it. But nothing ever stays the same. That's not your old life at all. That's your new life with a wall around it. Your choice is not about going back to the way things were. Your choice is about hiding, or about going right to the heart of the thing that scares you."

Now & Then parte 2

Another perspective drawing exercise! :) The concept of this drawing is Now & Then. On the left side is a line of typical nowadays cafe, clothing store and supermarket. On the right side, is a line of the futuristic buildings. I got very excited when I drew them! and I was inspired by one of my favourite manga, Dragonball! My personal favourite is the Bug shaped building :). Hope you all enjoy the drawing too! :)

Now & Then

Using public transport for almost everyday for the last couple months make me realize on how people get so attached to their gadgets. Everybody is either listening to their iPod or playing games on their iPad. Questions were popped up inside my head, 'where are books nowadays? so now people are not talking anymore?..hmm?'. I wanted to draw something about it. I always draw some random characters and there is usually only one character on my canvas and everytime I add more characters, I feel like they are not related to each others. The composition gets worst after I draw the environment, because .... they totally Disconnected (-___-').
This time, I told myself, how if I drew the environment first, and then put the characters. Most of the time I ignore the perspective angle, so this time, i told myself, 'let's doo perspective!!'
After awhile, I finished my sketch. I started to add some characters in my drawings. I think the trick works. I feel that it is easier for me to draw the characters and imagine what they are doing, and this time they Belong to the environment :). Uh well. God created Earth and then humans, so i guess this idea is applicable for drawing too. I'm so happy that I learn these new tricks~~

Retreat

"Go!.. Hurry up! They are coming.."

Some foreign creatures come unexpectedly to Fungi Land! Due to their survival nature, without any hesitation, these little fellas ran away!

Mi Pequeño Barón

The inspiration came from random Googling activities. I was looking at Imdb website, and was still amazed by the awesomeness of Alice in Wonderland. So I looked up the cast list and I stopped at Helena Bonham-Carter. I really like her role as Red Queen and of course, Bellatrix Lestrange (duh!). So I read the biography and trivia, and then I found out that her grandfather was a prime minister and she's an heir of a blue-blooded family (argh sorry for the bad english -_-). So this discovery, Plus some element of 'Bullying the Innocent' inspired me to draw this :). Thanks to Google Translate and Wikipedia :D

Fly, Fly Me Not

Okay... So that day, I missed adobe after effect so much. Lately I was so attached with illustrator, and maya, and illustrator, and ooh photoshop! and then maya again.. (*shake my head! huff!!) And then I found these old photography footage that I did with friend awhile ago, and I felt like I wanted to do something about it. It doesn't have to e meaningful, but I just wanted to make something fun and experimental. So here I go! and folks, Enjoy the short clip:

in the middle of the making of this clip, i sort of have this idea: keep on trying and never surrender because you never know what is going to happen in your life. ;) Thanks for watching!

“We are the music makers, and we are the dreamers of dreams”

"We are the music makers, and we are the dreamers of dreams" ~ Willy Wonka

It's an eerie night...

Comics! who doesn't love comic!? i've been reading comic/manga since forever, but lately, it really gets me. I declare that i fall in love in inking.. Oh boy, I wonder why I never try to learn this method before. Anyway, this 2 little owls are actually my very first attempt. I see there are some errors but i'm gonna leave it like that, as a mark of my learning process :D

"Coo...Coo"

3 Zombies, a Cat and a Ghost

Zo, Greeno. Purp, Clyde and Gail, 5 young mystical creatures live in a very quiet graveyard. They hang out inside a crypt during daylight, and like any other mystical folks, they crawl out from their hive everyday after the sunset. Zo is the paranoid, anxious, and curious zombie. Greeno, is the one who keeps everything cool, act super cool, and very sensible. Meanwhile, Purp is the animatic one. He runs fast, he jumps, and speaks super fast. Clyde the black kitten always hang with Gail the ghost. Both of them are very mysterious. Gail sometimes act like a big folk and he is very calm. He is very close with Clyde. It seems there is a special bond between them.

Chapter 0: Discovery

Zo: "Psst!"
Greeno: "Whaddup Z?"
Purp: "Ooh! Ooh! Shiny greeny orb! Me excited!"
Zo: "SShhh! Be quiet guys! We don't know exactly what this orb is.."
Clyde: "meww.. it's not a big deal.. just leave it alone.."
Zo: "SSHHH! it iss a big deal!! we don't know what's gonna happen if we touched that orb!"
Gail: "Well nothing will happen to me, i'm untouchable hiahiahiahiaa..."
Zo: "SSHH!! SSHH!! SHH! I said SSHH all of you SHH!"
Greeno: (whispering) "Dude you're the only one who talks A lot.."
Zo: "ooww..for the love of god..Shutt upp Greeno! I don't need to hear you complaining!"
Greeno: "I ain't complaining man .. i'm just telling you the truth"
Purp: (mumbling) "can I touch? can I touch? soo shinyy makes mee want to have a lil touchyy"

Nobody is paying any attention to Purp. Zo is arguing with Greeno. Gail and Clyde are playing hide and seek and Purp, he is half meter close to the orb. His pupils become wider. He is trying to reach the orb with his body. The others are busy with their arguments and games. Purp, obsessed, and excited, is super close to the orb now.

Purp: *Touch ... "Yippiie! I touch it I touch it I touch it!"

(Everybody is staring at Purp..)

the mystery, begins....
