Spring is here...

And I want to run to the opposite direction. I've been getting some godawful allergic reactions and got my first fever of the year earlier this week. Ehhhh......
But duh..time to try to catch up on everything now.
Here's a redo of one of my previous projects..for some reason everyone seems to gravitate to this particular design so I just gave up and painted straight on top of it. Yea.

Wut wut wut.....

Guh haven't had time to do any practice paintings..just pieces after pieces. Which is pretty cool since I get to switch gears every time my project workflow feels stale and ugh.
So here's a WIP exterior I've been working on..the interior version I had for this particular project bombed so I'm definitely putting it in my -fix it sooner or later- folder.
Meanwhile, have a cool and safe springbreak my peeps, and I'll see some of you guys when we drop by LA.

Speedpaint 2

Another painting I did in between bouts of insomnia, based on a weekly photo highlight at yahoonews..my back's been hurting for a while since I spend a lot of time just sitting down and working.
Someone definitely needs exercise now, ha ha.

La!

Here's another project I recently finished, which is basically adapting an artists' style to design characters for George Orwell's Animal Farm.
I lucked out and found a really fun artist to follow from, whose name is Lane Smith.
But yeah, lots more work to be done....

Speedpaint

I couldn't sleep. So I did this instead. Which is awesome since I haven't practiced painting in a while but also sucks since now I'm even more awake.
Also, pooh pooh on how the colors changed from the photoshop file to the blogspot upload. I've been seeing a lot of disrepancies between monitors, and I can't even imagine how acid the colors would look on another screen. Yaah!

Turtle girl.

Here's my waterfall spirit character design for this semester's vis-def class.
I know most kappas are guys, but I don't think they'd be able to multiply through binary fission, so there you go.

Woot.

This winter vacation, I had a really hard time stoking myself up to finish projects and get some practice done.
Can't say I managed to do a whole lot after all, but I got at least some paintings done on the last stretch of the break. Some of them are too guh-ugly to show to anyone, but here's some that make me cringe less than others.
La!

Happy New Year!

Hope everyone will have even better luck this year :D
Here's the final project for BFA..I finally got around to uploading it, and I'm definitely going to work on some of the background works over this winter break.
The story for this project is based on Kobo Abe's "The Magic Chalk" story, about a starving artist named Argon who came upon a magic chalk in his pocket that lets anything he draws with it come to life.
It's set in post-WWII San Francisco, so I made Argon a self-made hippie artist..which made him a lot more fun to draw, actually.
