Personal Artworks

Made a few personal artworks, trying out new brushes. 

Tried, a different variant of the artwork.

It seems 'Mermay' is a thing. So painted one myself.  Painting 'underwater skin tones' are different challenge unto itself.

MILITARY MASTERS (iOS/Android)

MILITARY MASTERS    (iOS/Android)   

Worked as a senior concept artist on the title and I Loved every minute of it. Finally after 2+ years working at DeNA, I was able to work on a project that I had a great degree of control and freedom over.  A distinct departure from doing characters, I got to design Tanks, Battleships and Fighter Jets!  

I loved working on this project, as I got to give a huge say in the design aspect of the game. I got to choose which military vehicles to design, which era and.... got to name  every single unit !  :)

Mageasaurous

'Mageasaurous'

Mission ubsurd ( nerd protocol) : go to museum, draw gazillion year old fossil, bring said fossil to life, activate DnD powers by throwing a 12-sided dice.... mission complete. I give you 'Mageasaurous' , a Lvl 25 Archmage, chaotic neutral.

While others draw cutesy characters that would not be out of place in 'my little pony'. I activate nerd powers.

Magnus the Unicorn Hunter

Coloured an older character drawing with very 'watery brushes', One of the first I did that was this detailed. But was happy with the results. I still feel I need to do ( for myself) one without the line-art.

 But there you have it folks: 'Magnus the Unicorn Hunter'...after he had killed all the unicorns, he would go onto have a successful career as Yul Burner impersonator in vegas.

Flying Monkee

I am trying to change my 'painting' style, trying to move away from my regular 'comicbook' style of colouring, so far happy with the results. Trying to move away draftsman mentality.

Inspiration Gnome

I keep getting a lot of requests from friends for more cartoonish style of characters, so I tried my hand at it.

This is an ' Inspiration Gnome ' , if you feel lazy or uninspired, he hits on the head with his staff and Presto !  You feel inspired to draw or send in that application.

BREAKERS

A while back I applied as the artist for an independent comic book :  Breakers

Breakers: An Original Graphic Novel

This was the first art that I did for the Breaker's comic book, this more or less got me the job.

It was my take on the Mer-people. I have since become the main artist  replacing the original artist who did the concepts. I have even done a six page prologue comic and illustrations for a short story for the series.

This is was the first time I used my current technique ( I have refined it since), drawing with colour pencils-inking it with a tech pen and colouring it with Photoshop and painter.

Jimi Hendrix

 Jimi Hendrix

I wanted to do one of those 60's/70's portraits and settled on Jimi.

Since I was going to paint digitally, I tried to keep it as loose as possible to force myself to rely more on painting, but I liked that I got his character.

Jimi Hendrix, pencil-CS4 and painter, mostly painter. One of the first digital images that I was sorta happy with, my monitor made it light, while it looked super-saturated in print and other screens. This was the moment I decided to finally buy a large screen  instead of working on my small laptop screen. I painted him with minimal hues, but was suggested that this being Hendrix, I go full saturated psychedelic  until my eyes bled. Tried several versions.

Still working on fine tuning this. Here are the better three version, I kept tinkering with the 60's/70's wild colour schemes. I have a dozen or more versions....someday I'll get it right.

Oh, btw no filters used.
