Here's a piece of personal work done on and off. I meant it to be a dragon-beast being battled and slayed somewhere out at sea. As always, exploring more possibilities for dynamics. All comments are welcome!]]> Thu, 25 Sep 2008 09:44:33 +0000 http://krypt.cgsociety.org/gallery/681591

I did this work while listening to the soundtrack of The Dark Knight. Hans Zimmer's music is really addictive. As the music played, i tried to grip the darkness of it and my mind played along to portray that kind of mood in this. Really had fun and i name this "Agent of Chaos", one of the piece from the OST. All comments and critiques are welcome!

Used photoshp and Artrage (can't find it under Software Used)]]> Sat, 23 Aug 2008 02:10:53 +0000 http://krypt.cgsociety.org/gallery/673438

Here are 2 quickies done at sijun forums. Extremely enjoyable speedpainting sessions. Around 1 hour each in PS and Artrage. Pure fun. Really.]]> Wed, 10 Sep 2008 07:28:56 +0000 http://krypt.cgsociety.org/gallery/667390

Something in between work largely done in Painter. Some problems here and there but generally i quite like the simple composition. All critiques and comments are definitely welcome!

I know this might sound kinda outdated but yea i've just watched Edward Scissorhands. I liked it.
I had a speed paint for this hanging around my com for sometime before i watched it. Only remembered after watching and so here it is after some touchups (=

Working on stuffs now but still i did this with whatever little free time i had. Definitely inspired by Mononoke Hime. I guess at times all of us need strong characters like her to see things through.

All comments are welcome (=

Alright edited the error on the placement of the sword! Thanks for pointing it out.]]> Wed, 23 Jul 2008 11:46:22 +0000 http://krypt.cgsociety.org/gallery/648584

Hi finally managed to complete this after multiple times of repainting and re-designing the town. This is something inspired by my stay here in Japan. When I first watched Tekkonkinkreet, i thought the background art was beautiful. As i wandered and obeserved, i realised it didn't exist only as an art in the film.

The town does exist in Japan. Or rather towns looking as beautiful as the background art can be seen. In awe, i did a concept i had in mind with most of the designs from what i had seen or what i thought i had seen. Imaginarily fishing while standing on a billboard. What is 'imaginary"? The fishes or the town? Seem's like what i used to think is 'imaginary' is tangible enough now.

All comments are welcome (=]]> Tue, 01 Jul 2008 14:56:08 +0000 http://krypt.cgsociety.org/gallery/640419

This started out as a speedpaint on my NDS with colours. Standing on the bridge of Shibuya at sunset, my mind took things into play. Beyond the golden clouds, divinity was redefined. Almost instinctively, i did a quick paint of the half reality half imagination conjured up at that point of time.
Thereafter i took it into photoshop and created this. It was an exciting process and i thoroughly enjoyed painting this.

Hope you like it (=]]> Sun, 08 Jun 2008 08:56:53 +0000 http://krypt.cgsociety.org/gallery/630626

Had been doing too much sci-fi stuff recently and guessed i needed something for a a change. Pretty inspired by the posters and advertisments of 10000BC and Golden Compass. Was hoping to bring out something epic.. meddled with the sense of scale.. All critiques are welcome!]]> Mon, 12 May 2008 12:17:36 +0000 http://krypt.cgsociety.org/gallery/628191

Went to Enoshima for the weekend.. totally blown away by it's cultural epicness.. The way the sun shone was so brilliant i thought it looked more like a painting.

Alright, I did a base speedpaint for this when i was there on my NDS.. brought it back home and rendered in up in photoshop. In the process i made minor changes for the sake of the composition.]]> Mon, 05 May 2008 08:50:55 +0000 http://krypt.cgsociety.org/gallery/622467

Yet another sci-fi idea i had. Maybe in future the cities will all be isolated like little islands surrounded by the seas... mankind by then had already successfully tapped into the earth's internall core as the mian source of energy.]]> Fri, 18 Apr 2008 12:49:41 +0000 http://krypt.cgsociety.org/gallery/618233

Here's a piece of personal concept art i did after getting some inspiration.. was going for the gritty dark gothic devil may cry look.. would leave it at this level of looseness.. pretty much commissions to work on!]]> Tue, 08 Apr 2008 03:52:52 +0000 http://krypt.cgsociety.org/gallery/616532

My first glimpse of japan. Will be staying in japan for a long time.. this is a speedpaint done just to capture my first impression of the place and the sakura! Approx 2 hours.

Alright i have started a speedpaint journal to do 1 speedpaint per day as a self reflection:

Yes, the title sounds too familiar to many. This is one work that i have always visioned but only able to achieve it technically recently. I love epics and has always been in awe after feeling the sense of scale in works like akira, day after tomorrow, cloverfield etc.

The concept isn't the most original, its about a city being invaded and destroyed by a higher being of more advanced technology. Definitely enjoyed working on this. All comments and critiques are very welcome. More intense works are on the way (=]]> Sun, 23 Mar 2008 07:05:28 +0000 http://krypt.cgsociety.org/gallery/605609

This started out as a speedpaint as well. Wanted to do some busy and chaotic looking scene after looking at piles of incredibly busy works from warhammer.]]> Sat, 08 Mar 2008 05:43:57 +0000 http://krypt.cgsociety.org/gallery/608929

Just some speedpaints done for practice.]]> Sat, 15 Mar 2008 19:13:20 +0000 http://krypt.cgsociety.org/gallery/603444

This is a repost of what i have done for the pepper project except with some touchups and details to background etc. Aiming for the poster-look in this.]]> Mon, 03 Mar 2008 16:14:15 +0000 http://krypt.cgsociety.org/gallery/602526

This started out as a speedpaint which i then went on to complete! Great fun to do such a landscape. Going for the serene, mysterious and isolated feel in this. ]]> Sat, 01 Mar 2008 02:59:50 +0000 http://krypt.cgsociety.org/gallery/596692

This is my first piece of mecha art after some influences here and there. The main problem with this is that my design does not have any logic since im not a mecha person. I just went along with shapes and geometry to 'feel' the mechas. Definitely something fun to play with. This will probably spur me on to do logical mechanical designs in future (=]]> Sun, 17 Feb 2008 16:34:37 +0000 http://krypt.cgsociety.org/gallery/588435

This is a concept piece based on a chinese myth. Every Lunar New Year, This monster 'Nian' (literally means 'Year') will go to the villages to wreak havoc during the time of the new year. That is why the chinese celebrate the new year with lots of firecrackers and stuff, hoping to drive Nian away.

This is sort of a pre-scene to the above, something like Nian has just awakened from his deep sleep in the mountaintops where its still snowing yet hints of sunlight are showing.

Was deciding whether to post this as i wasn't too satisfied with it. Didn't really spend much time on it.. was just hangoing around in my com. Pls feel free to comment!]]> Sat, 26 Jan 2008 04:53:37 +0000 http://krypt.cgsociety.org/gallery/585872

There was a long blackout in the city and no one had any idea what caused it. By the time the city of darkness regained its source of power, people took time in adjusting their eyes to the bright lights. Initially some thought it was the brightness that cause flare images of objects around their buildings. On a closer look, it seemed that the city is officially under siege from an unknown species. Silent and efficient. No shots, no explosions.

This is a concept that i did, was hoping to bring out some drama in the piece. All comments are welcome!]]> Sat, 19 Jan 2008 08:55:42 +0000 http://krypt.cgsociety.org/gallery/583839

The forbidden fruit has always been the attraction of all life forms. Many are lured towards its direction, often tempted to keep it for themselves. It is often known as the root of all problems, causing jealousy, hate and war between one another. But more notoriously, it's known as the reason behind the mortality of mankind.

This piece is something different that i've wanted to try and the story is all fictitious (=]]> Mon, 14 Jan 2008 05:56:38 +0000 http://krypt.cgsociety.org/gallery/580425

"Why so serious?'

I wasn't much of a Batman fan until i watched Batman Begins. I personally find the darker themed version of the dark knight much more enticing. Watched the new trailer to the sequel and there's the favorite Joker! Immediately, i knew i had to do something on him..

Since i didn't know much about him other than his twisted smile, this is my rendition of him after catching a glimpse of the latest version.. i think he became joker by falling into some green chemical right? Well, still I'm sorry if it deviates much from the character the original artist meant. Hope you like it and feel free to share wit me your thoughts or perceptions of him (=]]> Sun, 06 Jan 2008 16:07:45 +0000 http://krypt.cgsociety.org/gallery/578018

Something more different from my usual stuff. I've always been inspired by the cultural richness of Japan. Geishas, Samurais and lots more.
I tried to bring out her inner thoughts and struggles by planning some mess to be contrasted with the law and order in the room. Her blank expression was also meant to bring out the effect i had wanted. Painted mainly in painter with some touch ups in Photoshop. ]]> Sun, 30 Dec 2007 14:06:25 +0000 http://krypt.cgsociety.org/gallery/576356

A taiwanese singer. Trying out some colours and brushes. 1.5 hours from scratch on painter.. ref used.]]> Mon, 24 Dec 2007 14:07:25 +0000 http://krypt.cgsociety.org/gallery/573890

Yes! It's the time of the year again for some shopping to be done for the festive season! Here our big bro literally goes 'window' shopping. What's better than directly picking from the windows? Was inspired to work on something with a twist and i got this idea of shopping from the recent holiday mood. Not the most cheerful and holiday colour palettes used. (=

Alright, I really had fun with this piece. Painted in Photoshop from scratch in 2 days with no reference. Influences of graphics here and there. Hope you like it (=]]> Mon, 17 Dec 2007 08:46:33 +0000 http://krypt.cgsociety.org/gallery/572931

Trying a sci-fi scene.. alot to learn regarding composition and lightings to create a cinematic scene. enjoyed the speed in this.. and will definitely be doing more. All feedbacks are welcome! Painted in Photoshop.]]> Fri, 14 Dec 2007 05:16:27 +0000 http://krypt.cgsociety.org/gallery/572227

I'm finally done with this. Painful 2 days process but really gained a lot from this piece. It all started out as a doodle of a floating warrior and then the canvas spread outwards to eventually conceptualize into this final work! Lots of problems with the initial compositions, colour and mood. Nonetheless im quite happy with how this turned out. The more bumps you face, the more you learn i guess. Hope to hear your opinions on it and thanks for viewing.]]> Wed, 12 Dec 2007 12:48:51 +0000 http://krypt.cgsociety.org/gallery/570364

Ok I'm not a gun person and i did this as something like a learning experience. I've been working with battle scenes recently to try and capture the dynamism of action. I chose to work on battle because i think that it's tough to capture a fight scene well and so it will be real good practice!

Anyway, This piece shows an assault by the monsters or vice versa in the back alley of the streets. Spent 2 days. Thanks for viewing!]]> Fri, 07 Dec 2007 16:52:02 +0000 http://krypt.cgsociety.org/gallery/570097

Probably some of you have seen sometime like this this earlier in my portfolio. It was a speed painting but yes i rendered it up with details. Altogether i think i spent around 1.5 days on this.

Well, i still think i shouldn't over detail it since i kinda like the roughness and chaos of this piece to go with the chaos around the character. All comments are welcome!]]> Fri, 07 Dec 2007 05:02:22 +0000 http://krypt.cgsociety.org/gallery/568123

The villains are waging a war! With their demonic behavior they are all out to crush the protectors. This was painted in Photoshop entirely from scratch. Spent around 6 hours.. Thanks for viewing!]]> Sun, 02 Dec 2007 13:43:05 +0000 http://krypt.cgsociety.org/gallery/567498

First time trying out this kind of setting. Something very cliche and inspired by resident evil. She hunts not for demons but for cyborgs.]]> Fri, 30 Nov 2007 12:26:10 +0000
