lady portrait

Another practise from one of Stephen Schirle's artwork studying his color choices, strokes and so on because theres just something about his artworks that appeals to me, the highly saturated color of the skin, the emotive expression of the figure, the strokes and blend of saturated colors is just oozing out delight! I just had to do a study!

Been trying to improve my flaw which is, i always tend to rush through my artwork be it a sketch or painting without paying attention to correct form, expression, mood, and shape.

I wouldnt say that i spend such a long time on THIS piece but i did try to look at the picture as a whole most of the time rather than focusing on one particular area. Focused more on the face getting it right...... Still doesnt look right... Just a tiny bit off here and there~ but a good attempt i say~

I Gots Nothing Better To Do

Well, these past few days flew by quite fast and i find myself at a position where i need to utilize and maximize any opportunities that come in my way. As for work its been quite fun, drawing stuff, concept art. Cant complain there, great colleagues, great company, good management.. been gaining new knowledge and i hope to gain more as i go along within this company.

Just a blog highlight The Real John Woo , thought id share. Apparently this guru is one of the many notable lecturers at CDA (Concept Design Academy) and has kickass concept design works.

Have a nice day! :)

W.I.P 'Fighter'

A sketch that i did at work while waiting for my Art Director to pass me back a review of my work progress. Yeap i waited long enough to get this piece to this point. haha. Well anyways will post the 'finished' version soon :) Still not quite satisfied with his head, his face, and the form..

My first proper Z Brush attempt

This is my first ever Z brush sketch that i took the furthest ever!! I would usually run out of patience since im still kinda new with Z Brush and still learning about the software.

Modeled the rough base mesh in maya and sculpted everything else in Z Brush. Spent most of the time getting the form and shapes correct..Form is key. Referenced from a tutorial by Wayne Robson check his website, dashdotslash.net

Im a sketch artist and a modeler

So the past few days ive begun my work at Monstrou Studio. My official post is an animator and 3D modeler but somehow im assisting the art department to do concept art for our pre production. So far im doing orthographic views or what the animation world would call 'Model Packets' for the characters of my company's animated series. Only modeled a few props here and there.

Recently stumbled upon this video online and it was just too packed with awesomeness and inspiration that it kept my concept art dreams alive and burning again eventhough its hard to make it as a concept artist here in Msia.. Check it out Six More Vodka . Great artists like Andrew Jones, Coro, jason Chan, Black frog and many more are featured in this video its just too awesome!! i must say!

Heres a mediocre sketch of a random muscular dude.. Will come up with more.. I have to!

Is that a train or a house?

Painted this during my free time at work. Referenced from an artwork that i got from James Gourney's blog~ exercise and study.. Is that a train or a house?...hmm..

Modeling Exercise

Few modeling exercise to keep me on track especially since ill be working as a modeler soon!
