2011-09-12T23:02:00.000-07:00

I've been doing some work for this really cool company called Booklamp. They are a pandora version for books and I think its a really cool concept. I've posted photos of the bookmarks I did for them and now I am finally posting the full illustration with the permission of my client.

He was also awesome enough to send me a few of them :D Thanks Aaron.

If you love reading check out their website at http://booklamp.org/ (I also did their header for them)

Procrastination Giraffe 2 - "So Lazy"

This one took a while to do.. because I got lazy.

61. Tak Nak

2011-07-12T22:27:00.000-07:00

"Don't want to do work"

Inspired by Colin's Giraffe. Doodled this at work and finished it at home.

Riding Pretty

2011-05-25T11:16:00.000-07:00

Commission for a friend who requested a pin up of her boyfriend's WoW character based on Gil Elvgren's "Riding Pretty". I had lots of fun working on this piece :3

59. I don't even

2011-04-28T15:17:00.001-07:00

I was messing with Jia Ling's iPad and she had this awesome drawing program on it and I drew some portrait.

Heres my portrait done by Emerson and Pierre

58. Its dusty in here

2011-03-07T17:47:00.000-08:00

So I made it into the 3x3 Illustration Directory

The Final

2010-12-19T21:42:00.000-08:00

Part of my Catcatcatcatcatcat series. This time is features Freyja, Stelios and Isabella's Bubo and Bella!

Goosegirl. I ran out of ideas for class and I needed to do something simple.

I did this one for class and the Artorder challenge. I like and hate it at the same time :[

The Little Mermaid. I am really happy with how this turned out! Also.. boobies!

And thats it from school. I am all done and being tossed into the working world. I'll miss all my instructors who have taught me so much and help my grow as an artist.

56. Trololol

2010-12-19T21:30:00.001-08:00

Some clothed figure stuff.

I dunno why I gave this clown one really really long sleeve -.-

55. Hnnnggg

2010-11-27T16:22:00.000-08:00

Something from Narrative Painting.

Some 20 minute drawings from Digital Clothed Figure. Its much more challenging to try to do these in color!

54. Clothed Figure

2010-11-10T22:18:00.000-08:00

Some 20 minute drawings from class.

53. Starfail

2010-10-29T22:39:00.000-07:00

Moonkin druids have a spell called Starfall that has a massive AoE radius and that doesn't go well with the first mob room in ICC

I have too many titles with "fail"

52. More Fail

2010-10-18T11:07:00.001-07:00

I tried out a new way of painting~ I painted most of it in Photoshop, printed it out on watercolor paper, matted it onto a canvas board and painted over it with acrylics.

51. More stuff

2010-10-17T20:25:00.000-07:00

Face close up

50. Playing Around

2010-10-13T00:06:00.000-07:00

For an assignment for class we had to take 8 drawings and "finish" them. I decided to take the chance and mess around with fashion illustration style for the majority of them. I love David Downtown's work! One of them is Pierre's NE priest... felt like doing a WoW thing.

49. Clothed figure stuff

2010-10-05T11:39:00.000-07:00

Some digital clothed figure stuff. Drawing in the cintiq is actually pretty fun. I wish we had longer poses but too bad the class is only 3 hours long :/

48. Sausages

2010-10-02T00:49:00.001-07:00

Doing some stuff for a friend's band called Once Upon A Time There Was A Sausage Named Bob

Sketch and rough ideas.

I never thought I would have to touch Illustratoruggh ever again but they needed it to be more graphic.

47. Stuff!

2010-09-24T17:25:00.000-07:00

One assignment

...and one plugIf you haven't heard about it on Facebook or my DA, my friends and I put together a portfolio style artbook that is filled with 128 pages of awesomeness. We will be selling it at APE and right now it is available for pre-order for our USD20.oo promotional price! (Original price is USD24.95)

46. Illustration 4

2010-08-09T17:07:00.001-07:00

Dusting off the blog with stuff from Ill 4:

Noisy People

Cat Maiden

Elisa Day (Where The Wild Roses Grow)

Midnight Lair

Jay and the Peacocks
Done with acrylics. Bad photo of the painting :( My camera sucks at taking pictures of paintings.

Overall Ill 4 was a pretty fun class. The down side of taking it during summer is that there isn't a whole lot of time to work on the assignments. The good part is that there are less people making critique sessions shorter and we get to watch movies.

45. Eh

2010-05-26T23:12:00.000-07:00

Book cover for "The Help"

Crappy creature design portraits:

Creature design final illustration.. god damn unicorns.

2010-05-19T23:51:00.001-07:00

I have too much of this decorative paper now =_=

43. Wurld of Wurcruft

2010-04-15T17:48:00.001-07:00

More stuff from acrylic figure painting class. I realized that I've never done any good fanart of my priest and I was out of ideas of what to do during class :[ So voila.. my priest in her sexy Robes of Heavenly Cleavage.

Then Pierre asked me to do a painting of his drood. This painting is actually a lot bigger but I like this crop a lot better.

Also my camera takes horrible photos ;_;

42. Animuls

2010-04-12T21:53:00.001-07:00

Narrative IllustrationThe bumbling magician.

Girl with no hands.

Acrylic on canvas

36. Pastel portraits

2009-11-08T20:24:00.000-08:00

4-5 hours:

1 Hour:

35. Little Red Riding Hood

2009-11-02T18:07:00.001-08:00

WIP

I totally bought a railway tree model for reference. I got tired of drawing boring trees and not being able to find the sort of reference I need.

34. How to Procrastinate

2009-10-21T22:32:00.000-07:00

These are D&D/Warhammer miniatures painted by Pierre, Emerson and me. Well Pierre did the majority of them. Emerson and me mainly did some for practice so we won't suck when our own figurines arrive.

33. Snow Queen

2009-10-18T19:16:00.000-07:00

Second assignment for Sci-Fi(and Fantasy) class. Its from Hans Christian Andersen's Snow Queen. In the assignment sheet it called for a more adult version and thank god for that. Wouldn't want to draw an older woman embracing aa small kid =_=

32. Colors that you know... booms

2009-10-14T19:44:00.001-07:00

Done for narrative painting class. I am happy how this turned out~

On a side note, I've never had to experience so many rage inducing people in a single class.

2009-09-14T14:48:00.001-07:00

Assignment for Narrative Illustration class (Omg I can't paint mirrors). Its not finished yet And crits would be useful :3
This piece was pretty interesting to work on because I actually used Maya (taught by wo de ai ren <3<3<3) to construct the room then painted over it. Perspective sure is alot easier with Maya =_=..

WIP for SciFi class. The class name is so misleading ~_~ its sci-fi AND fantasy. Anyhoo, uploaded for Yumi-cakes to see that I am not drawing tiger/saber butt for perverted purposes.

I need to make this not look so WoW like =_=

26. I haven't been THAT lazy

Referenced from Wazabees who takes great cat pictures.
I want a cat.

17. Art Dump

2009-03-27T20:46:00.000-07:00

I wanted to mess with painter more so I pulled out an oooold unfinished piece to play around with. Its my poor abandoned priest wishing she was in T6 when she was lvl 40-ish. Eventually she did get a few pieces :3... could use more details but meh.

Perspective homewerk. Theme is Greek myths.
These two were mainly done in painter. By that I mean I brought them into photoshop for touch ups >_>. I also got 6D art pen which is really great :D

15. Painter Hur Hur

2009-03-12T16:33:00.000-07:00

So today in class we learnt about Painter. It was actually pretty fun... compared to what I had to do back in TOA (arrgghh watercolor tool!!) Anyway, these are some practice portraits we had to do in class.

So our 3 pieces decided to have a conversation while we were messing around with the second portraits.

14. Minty

2009-03-09T23:49:00.000-07:00

2009-02-25T19:49:00.000-08:00

Mental note: Remember to check if files are saved as RGB or uploading images on the intrawebs will fail.

12. Kimonos

2009-02-17T15:24:00.000-08:00

From advanced perspective

11. Queen of Hearts

2008-12-15T15:20:00.000-08:00

Everytime I look at it theres always errors D:
Oh well. I am done.

10: aslfj'a;wlek[awoiethansmga;hlsfujgh

2008-12-06T23:09:00.000-08:00

Oh Mucha, I love your work so much but trying to emulate it really sucks.

Steven had a great idea of merging 2 optional Clothed Figure 2 assignments together so I did the Queen of Hearts based off a Mucha piece.
Amagad I felt like dying when I was drawing it then I had to piece it together in photoshop and illustrator.

Sleep time.

9. The Impossible

2008-12-04T16:35:00.000-08:00

So I've managed to achieve the impossible with this painting. I got a ~~photo~~ set of photos of Haru. Best part is theres no hair flying, face covering or blurry motion. AWESUM AMIRITE??Many thanks to the Haru <3
Wa cinta lu.

8. More colors

2008-11-29T12:07:00.000-08:00

I kinda liked the last painting class because we were told to exaggerate colors. I had fun and for once I painted a nipple right.

aaaandd I noticed her legs are out of proportion -_-

7. Pan and Psyche

2008-11-22T10:10:00.001-08:00

Another Illustration 2 assignment. The colors didn't exactly come out the way I wanted too but oh well -_-. Stupid water colors.

And I changed my blog's name. The header will stay the same though.

6: RAAAAAGGGEEEEE

2008-11-21T09:26:00.000-08:00

Emursun Raaaagggeeee

The story behind this is: When we first started Illustration 2, Emerson hated watercolors. Actually he still does.

And some sketches from a workshop.

5. Old peple and hillbillies

2008-11-12T12:08:00.000-08:00

2008-11-08T20:16:00.000-08:00

A quick digital painting of my main 3 WoW characters for my guild forum sig. Too bad I am not getting the xpac -_-.

3: Portrait assignment

2008-11-08T11:11:00.001-08:00

The colors came out a little cartoony :<

Then Pierre suggested photoshop to fix it.
And for kicks. This is a Pierre with no facial hair.

2: Oils

2008-11-08T10:56:00.000-08:00

Second week of Figure Painting class with that whole limited palette thing.

Omg more colors.

Master copy of Gil Elvgren.

1: First poast!

2008-11-08T10:37:00.000-08:00

I've finally joined the blogspot bandwagon and moved the artsy fartsy stuff from here to here. Plus I was getting tired of the whole photobucket deleting my nude figure drawings.

Heres a watercolor piece from Illustration 2 class for a "shopping bag" assignment thing. The colors look dull here :<
