Speed Sketch of the Day. This morning I decided to fire up my Artrage 2.2, played with the colors and ended up with this sketch of a big headed apple green head. *shrugs*

Another fantastique discovery of the day! This is Nancy’s Morning, an animated movie from a bunch of very talented chinese art students. Man, the movements are very realistic and the characters are easy to be attached to. I bet these kids are going to be huge in the animation industry someday. Check out one of the artists’ deviantart gallery, http://nancy0039.deviantart.com :)

Sigh. I wish I could be as good as her someday. Pfft. I think I’ve got a very very long way to go, thanks for being lazy, Pao. Mfft.

Doodled my fellow artist friend Gabe on…uh…YM’s Doodle IMvironment where the colors are frustratingly limited. Mmmh. I need more practice.

And this one is from another artist friend, Maurice.

Cool, eh?

He drew my portrait using ink and then colored the line work on Photoshop. At first I thought it’s a traced vector art, but if you look closely you’ll see the textures that hints of traditional media. Yeah, he’s really really THAT good!

It’s my Digital Painting Using A Mouse Challenge day today! (Ok, my pen tablet is not working so I now use my mouse to paint. Boo.)

This is the whole work in progress:

She’s not done yet, I’ve to put some more details on the BG and whatnots. AND put a monster on top.

Update:

(still unfinished. At this point, I really don’t know what I’m doing *_*)

Friends’ current collective reaction upon showing this WIP:

“I don’t get it.”

Huhuhu…uber fail! T_T

Random thingie of the day!

It’s official: this nut job’s addicted to this video…kept playing this over and over whenever I had a chance! I really couldn’t understand what’s in this video that makes me laugh every time I watch this. Perhaps they look like those funny looking Ewoks + Stormtroopers marching to “Imperial March” (epic epic choice of song BTW)? Or that I just had too many MSGs from instant noodles? D’oh!

Anyway, enough of this pointless rave. Thought I’d share my Work in Progress:

It’s a still unfinished digital painting for my friend, Raisa. Remember the color test I did last time? I’ve decided not to use it and just use the colors from the actual photo reference of my friend. Mhmm. I don’t know when to finish this though, maybe later after my Marketing mid-term exam. Mmm. Which reminds me…I’ve got to go now and hit ze books! Ciaaooo!

Have a happy Saturday!

You better microwave your pop corn and bring out a box of tissue paper because today/tonight we’re going to marvel at this fantastique anime, 5 CM Per Second. Have fun! :)

Inspiration of the day. Thanks to Larissa, I found this mixed media delight!

Sorry guys again for the lack of updates and such, I’m having trouble with my Thesis Of Death. I’ll be covering luminance conditions (lighting theory in art) and how it evokes mood, space and meaning in a painting. Something like that. If you have some ideas or helpful links regarding this (or you know a heck about this), please please….HELP MEHHH! *ok that’s pathetic, sorry* *ahem* …please don’t hesitate to share.

Ok then enough for brain soupiness, time for sleep. Thanks for dropping by BTW! I’ll update as soon as I iron out this thesis problem..

Happy Day to you! :)
