Merry Christmas 2013 and Happy New Year 2014

Good evening everyone :)

We are almost on the end year that's mean Christmas and New Year plus holiday that doesn't exist in my office.. 

Well at least this Christmas i have something to post :D. 

Recently i have a line chat friend, we chatted a regularly topic then that person often disappeared, for several days, a week and the longest time was about 2 weeks XD 

That person told me that he is busy in order to finish his master degree's thesis. Before He told me that, I've been thinking about Christmas + picture to support him as a friend and i want to renew my portfolio too. I made a rough sketch last week, scanned it at office and coloring this picture last night >___< that was super rush and hetic time. I've spent about 3-4 hours to color this sketch.This time I've learned something : technique of shading and coloring hair. 

the rough sketch 

the final one  * accidentally i changed the eyes.... the gaze should be direct to the viewer..*

And the last words 

Merry Christmas 2013 and Happy New Year 2014

Ja, Vikie deshita (^_^)/
see you next year

Ruǎn An another unfinished Art

Good evening!! Its been a while since my latest post xp 

Today I will post something, my another unfinished art. I was little bit frustrated while trying to create the details. I intend to make a detailed rose embroidery on her cheongsam. I failed so many times, and suddenly stopped to continue this character. 

Her name should be Ruǎn which means soft in chinese. She is chránič team mate, owned great physical attack,  and not owned any element. Her accuracy and speed is on the top level among the others, has a strong will, less talk do more is her motto. At first he disliked chránič, slowly but sure she become one of his important person :D

Can you give me any advice to improve her looks? maybe the outfit / style / hair color or else??

That's all for today :D

July post :) (unfinished drawing)

Good evening, hisashiburi da ne! it's been a while since my last post 

this time i post my recent (unfinished) drawing. i drew this manually on a paper, scanned it and coloring it thru photoshop but without my graphic tablet. i use mouse only :D 

okay let me share my hard time coloring it :p 

the main weapon of using this method is polygonal lasso~ plus clipping mask technique 

as i know many expert animator or illustrator using mouse rather than graphic tablet, and their works still awesome. and that makes me want to try this method. but i think this method only for anime or cartoon style, i don't think we can coloring realism with this method. well i've tried it but failed XD 

while coloring this picture i stick my eyes into my lappy's LCD and keep glaring on it LOL.

my old difficulties are shadow, choosing tone and light direction disorder >____< 

i will finish the rest of the details including shadows soon~ and make a new sketch again. 

to be honest, i have another personal project = a pixel art, but still undone....... i'm dying of its skin tone and gradient tone :"< 

this is the picture 

that's all i have,

see you next time :)

Game portal and original vector character

happy sunday everyone :) 

today i'll post something (again) lol

its about a layout. i'm not good on it but i tried because i have to as a requirement even it was completely rejected, because my design is ugly (lol) 

a layout of a mobile game portal, consist of 3 main menu: home, profile and games. 

the second one is a vector that represents me (of course this is very me, because i made this based on my personality lol) at first i didn't have any plan to make vector character, but my friend asked me to make our gang member's character and print it on a t-shirt for KL trip. i had made 8 of characters (5 or 6 characters have done) as my friend instructed. but in the middle of the process she changed her mind and made all of the characters by herself. so i won't publish the rest character except mine since they were completely not needed anymore (or i can say those are failed characters lol)

that's all,

chránič my original character

good evening everyone :) 

this time i will post something little different, i drew an original character :)) 

i use sai paint tool because it really user friendly, i should try to use photoshop too to sharpen my skill on it.

i drew this spontaneously after i watched a speed drawing tutorial in youtube, and i i've got an idea "why i don't try to draw similar thing with my own style?" and this is the result.

i need to smooth the gradient, line etc, because it still rough anywhere 

 " He is an Archer, a silly noble man, bad temper, bad mouth, afraid of woman, kind hearted, self conscious, with strong will :3 he own fire element " his name is chránič ( chraanich ) taken from Czech language that means " the protector" 

what do you think? is my skill improved?? 

LOL

comment or rate please XD
