What I think of some of the classes in Illustration so far : /

Hot for Teacher

Pinup print for AN2009, Yoko from Gurren Laugan, but she'll be clothed when sold, cuz AN and the good people at the print store will frown upon me for making and selling nakid stuff to prepubescent teens.

See this is tasteful Ian Macdonald lol

Face was inspired by Megan Fox + Audrey Hepburn,... plus some other pop pinup girls?...

Commission piece

Long overdue commission piece, don't ask about the content... please... don't judge me?....

Photoshop CS

Character (c) client

Art (c) JinJian Xu

Stand In The Way

A character from my personal comic project, just tried to put him into an environment. I really wanted to try doing some landscape painting here, and just adding the dude in. Once again, using the red/blue/purple colours. One thing I could've done better here was to put something close to the character to show some scale, but I guess the dead monster that he's standing on doesn't really help eh? Anyway, this was done back in this March, so I'm getting close to uploading the recent stuff.

Created with Photoshop CS from scratch.

Fear No Death

Raiden from Metal Gear Solid, remade as the cyborg ninja in Guns of the Patriot.

Since I really love the whole 3/4 back shot, I decided to incorporate that into this piece's composition. Basically I just tried for a simple colour scheme, and really emphasize on the character's sense of mystique and power, plus I really love his glowing mechanical eyes from the game, so I really popped that out in this piece.

Done in Photoshop CS from scratch.

Rocker Chicks

Done as a commission for a client. Basically I was just given 2 characters, and the theme was rock n roll. So I applied 2 of my most fav guitars, the Ibanez Jem and the Gibson Explorer. Got some refs for the figures from a fashion mag, and I just played around with the colour pallets... by now hopefuly you can tell that my fav kinda colours are red, blue, and purple lol

Done on Photoshop CS from scratch.

Poison Against Poison

Evangelion 02 vs. the Mass Production Models from End of Evangelion. I loved painting this piece because these characters have the ability to show human anatomy, while still maintaining the robotic feel to them. Done in Photoshop CS from scratch. I got really lazy for the background though : C

Calm Waters

: O Sup everyone, finally got a blog spot hah hah, well anyways here's my first post, and I'll start with my old stuff to new!

This one was done way back in March of 2007, done on Photoshop CS from scratch. I was really inspired by The Odyssey at the time, and I wanted to paint my own version of a Siren. I was very inspired by Michael Whelan's works, and so I wanted to pay a little homage to his style.

I had a lot of trouble finding the proper refs for the cloth, so I mostly improvised by getting stuff from home, piled them up and whatnot, and there it is.
