sunset cityscape !_!



Another painting before going off to sleep .. didnt know what i was thinking  for this one , was suppose to do some mountain at first but decided to go with a cityscape of tall and sharp buildings with bridges that connect to one another

It all started with CYAN ....

It all started with a Cyan on the Canvas... and my mind just goes loose and mix in other colors and stuffs what ever i can think of at a short period of time..and i am supposed to be tweaking my maya render for assignment. I think i am falling in love with environment painting. Still dont know how to get my mountains to look hard and crisp or to look real at all.

Another School Assignment "Grimm's FairyTale" - The Simeli Mountain WIP

So here it is another digital artwork. This is for my school assignment which is to do an Outdoor and Indoor Environment work based on a chosen story from the Brother's Grimm Fairytale. I have chosen the Simeli Mountain story. Below are pictures of my process, still not done yet though.. need to study more about how lighting affects nature in the real world and how to paint mountains lol. Still not very satisfied with how the trees fit and mountain are placed on the environment.

20mins Random Color Painting

Decided to do a 1 point perspective composition straight with colors instead of black and white. Wasn't sure what I wanted but end up with a forest river scene.Playing around with green and blue colors then decided to add a subject into the scene using Red as complementary to the scene dominating cool colors. In the end, realized all the brush and unclean strokes as I put the canvas on 100% view lol .. but kinda enjoy the process and mood of it I guess..

Creature Design 'Excavador'

Another 7 week assignment ,this time round is Creature Design.Everything was done in
Photoshop. My concept is focusing towards an Ancient Creature that has 'Charger' like capabilities which they were used to charge down castle walls or doors during siege battles.I spent a lot of time on the silhouette stage generating and mixing the ones I like till I came out with the shapes that appeal and convey the feeling that I was looking for in my creature design.

Excavador Final Render

Excavador Turntable
For the environment illustration, started out in black and white so I don't have to worry about the values at the later stage when I go onto colors. I just wanted a scene where the creature has charged through the walls of the enemies with walls cracked, debris and some leftovers of the soldiers rushing to defend their kingdom and lastly fires and flames around the environment to portray the mood of the scene even more. Basically a tilted composition to make it more interesting and dynamic. Enjoy the process and workflow I tried for this assignment compared to my Mecha Design.

Mecha Design 'Slayer'

Slayer Final Render

Slayer Turntable

Mecha Design for school assignment done within 7 weeks using Photoshop and Maya. The Maya stage wasted a lot of my time as I was obsessed with the detailing of the whole model before bringing it to Photoshop and paint. Eventually very happy with the results and mood I managed to come up with and managed to learn the pros-cons of this workflow.

Here are some school work to start with


Discovery of the Ancient Artefact

Moments at the Lakeside

These are my first semester digital painting assignment. The very first time i ever paint so much in Photoshop but enjoyed the process of it of how you start it out from thumbnails > blocking out of shapes and values and lastly the colors to bring out the mood of the whole composition to tell a story. It was fun after all.

Lets start and enjoy !

Alright gonna start digital painting for a hobby and post my works here.
Hope it get appreciated @_@
