Fluffy, Purple & Odd.

I'm BACK to blogging! :D Whee I'm so happy.... :))

It's been a grueling few weeks and this week especially has been the climax of all those M.I.A days in the blogsphere. Aah wells, here I am now. Heehee. Honestly since the term started to get heavy (since my last post) I had barely worked on any piece of art! Just some random doodles to get the funk out of my system on days when things just don't seem to make sense anymore. Well I've got a whole lot of stuff planned for the break so hopefully I'll be able to post them up soon... :)

Oh, I had a Wisdom Tooth extraction 3 days ago! @_@ It was on the upper side, and I was so scared to get it pulled out at first. I mean I can't even remember the last time I had a tooth extraction! I was so tensed that I might have annoyed the dentist cause I couldn't keep still.

-___-

Well glad that's over with. Still I might have another extraction in line..... la-la don't know when!

Moving on. Hmm. I guess I'll post again soon. Feel kinda rusty. Oh which reminds me I've missed tons of updates from you lovely bloggers out there! Gah. Will be catching up soon. So in the meantime hope you folks are having a great time!

Miss y'all!

p/s: It's November!! Back when we were little carefree angels, my sibs and I would be sooo excited to get the Christmas Tree out for decorating. Ahhh miss those days : )

Tales of Fate

This here is my very first animation project back in diploma. It was a group work and basically my first time animating for a short. The project was to produce an animation trailer based on the conceptual art from our previous semester. We decided on the story of one of our group mates and the rest is history. My parts were mostly the layout design, background, ink and color, and small parts of the animation.

[this is a continuation from the last post above]

Here are some old and not so old works. I have a little time to spare so I'll be posting more stuff soon! Stay tuned :)

These heart prints are done in the same project as 'Follow The White Rabbit' and 'Siren'

Aahh it's that four letter word. Sometimes deemed to be overrated. But nevertheless such a wonder it is... Like beauty we can never contain; regardless of the many words and phrases we try to make out of it---it is all that, and more. . .

Here's a lil' treat for you guys :)

This was another Typography assignment. We were suppose to pick five words from a list and create it as kinetic typo. Oh, the song is called 'Shh' by Donora. Enjoy!

I love heart shapes. Don't you?

Fairy in a Tutu.

I thought she deserved to have a post of her own :) Remember, Faerie Ballerina? She served as my blog background for a while until I decided she was a distraction! Well she's been pouting since I took her out of the limelight. So here's a post dedicated for sweet ol' Fae'Belle (aww look she's smiling again!) =]

Dear friends,

I'm going to be a bit busy over the next couple of weeks. So bear the short posts and some old works in the meantime (if I don't manage to upload any new ones!). Thanks for dropping by and leaving such lovely words of encouragement! I've already got a weeks load of work to catch up on (after falling sick for a week), and I've to focus on my projects for now. But I'll be checking in now and then to keep up to date with you lovely bunch of inspiration out there! :)

Follow The White Rabbit.

It's already the middle of the week. Time flies. My digital post-its seem to be adding in length. It's pre-production time. These are the times I wish I were more decisive and less of a perfectionist. I wish I could just go with the flow and let myself go; not afraid to follow the white rabbit and plunge into that black hole of uncertainty, no?

Psychedelic Logic.

Hello, peeps. I know I've been away for a while now. Classes have begun and already we need to lock down on a story by the end of this week! I've been lost in my readings most of the time but after this week I think that's going to change a little... Btw, Paulo Coelho is magnifique :) I'm currently on The Pilgrimage. So far I've read three of his books--hoping still to fill my library with his entire collection!

Aaahh, well back to earth. I'm really looking forward to this term! We're to create a short 3D film as a group of four. *All the best to that!* >_<

Anyways, hope you all have a pleasant week! Here's a little treat: Meet Circus Girl (I know, very unimaginative -_-). She was one of my character development sketches for the Incongruity Project. Originally just a line art. One day she became my photoshop painting experiment and voila!

Incongruity

It's been very laidback the past few days. Mostly I've been lazing around; waking up earlier than my usual after-the-sem waking hours and doing my Qi Gong; losing myself in my latest read, Outliers; and playing housekeeper :D

Well here's another past semester work which was for an experimental animation project. I was going for a fashion illustration style using the digital cut-out method. I simply love textures! Aren't they just wonderful? :)

Project Title:

It's basically about a character who tries to fit into a fashion-materialistic-mad world to get noticed but in irony when he stops trying he suddenly stands out from the crowd (although perhaps in a peculiar unconventional turn of event!)

A lot of my inspiration came from two of my favorite fashion illustrators, Pierre-Louis Mascia and Jason Brooks.

Below I've posted some stills from the project; some development sketches and some of the final characters. Oh, this first guy down here is the main charcter: Meet Aven :)

He's rather bland and simple. Friendly but naive more like it. "I still don't get it." --Aven

I've actually posted these two stills at my DA page. This is the final look for some of the extra characters.

Below are a few screenshots from the short. I haven't thought of posting up the final clip though... And frankly the animation wasn't that good. I do plan on re-working on it when I have the time (sadly, which is not anytime soon), and I might even have to redo some scenes from scratch as I lost the original files! Enjoy these still clips anyway :D

OK, so maybe being yourself doesn't require you to strip down bare and naked...at least not literally. But on the rare occasion... :D

Well guess that's all for now! That's that for this project. Those weeks and months of labor were stressful times but at the end of it I can't say that I didn't enjoy it :) If not for the support and help from my beloved peeps (you know who you are :)) I wouldn't have made it through!

Sunday, Sea & Smiles

I'm home : )

Miss the smell of the salty sea =]

Going off grocery shopping in a while! These are some characters from an old assignment: Pop-Out People. Enjoy!
