Sketchbook pages...

Here we have images from a Taylor Swift song, Pride and Prejudice characters, and just getting the feel of the Korra characters. :) Perhaps I draw Korra a little too cutesy hehe... The last one is a concept for Joan of Arc but that silhouette needs some work.

Asian style illustrations

The last two days, I've been studying another style of illustration that I see in a lot of Asian/chinese historical games and on the covers of Chinese books. This is one of the results.

Head studies

Some studies of drawing Asian people... I should be getting more practice considering my family consists of them. :p Girl in the center was drawn without reference.

Oldie


Hah... this is a colored pencil drawing I did back in high school. I named it "Yellow-haired Geisha", but she is dressed nothing like a geisha.

New Portfolio pages




Just some recent portfolio pages I've made.

Red Engine Character Design Class Fall 2011

I totally forgot about these! Last fall I took character design at Red Engine Studios (in shady, shady LA) and these were some of the works I did. I learned a lot of digital painting techniques in that class!

Aquarius in-progress

Two in-progress images... first one was right after I slapped on the Color layer. Second one was after working on it for a while. Man, why are clouds always harder than they seem? ><

Quicksilver: Infinite Story

This is not super recent but I worked on the opening animation for this game a year ago and they seem to have updated the audio a bit so it's quite spiffy, in my opinion. :) The scenes I worked on specifically are:
- man on stage with machine speaking in front of crowd
- four main characters fighting in the middle of a crowd of monsters in the moonlight
- four main characters looking out from the windows of a silver train
- four main characters standing/posing on the back of the train in the sunset

Aquarius sketch


My obsession with Dean Cornwell is unmistakable... also I find this character looks like me. Yet I am Taurus! Part of a horoscope illustration project I'm working on.

Also this posting frequency is insane!!!! How long can I keep it up??

Entry for Darkness II Contest


This was my entry for the Darkness II Contest on Deviantart. I always want to enter those contests but I usually fail due to the usual suspects (time/procrastination/busy/etc...). But not this time...! The prompt was to use the storyboard provided and draw the 3 panels it describes. Read more here.

Elf and dragon

Illustration-type stuff. Recently, I've been painting in black and white and then throwing a Color layer over that to figure out my overall color scheme. Then I make another layer and fix up any other issues. This method really helps me figure out lighting before I start getting confused by color and I also feel a lot more organized in general. I picked up this method at Red Engine Studios~
