Supergirl drawing.
ARtblock then edited with Photoshop.
Draft.
Intend to put her new rebooted costume on her. Will shorten hair as that is how she looks now in the comics.

Yeah, I'm going to paint her and I'm very eager to paint pretty girls. Hee hee. But first, I have to finish my class exercise of Classic Chinese Maiden.

For my exercise, I used the popular Beijing actress Yang Mi's face who shot to fame in 2011 with the HK/China drama called "Gong" /Palace set in the Qing dynasty. She's only 25 and already so famous. I think her face was also used on one of those China made online fantasy games set in medieval times promotional poster. In Gong, she plays a modern day girl who fickle somehow travelled back in time by accident to ancient China and lived in the royal court. Through all the hardship and evil political schemes she endured, she learned to cherish what is valuable in life. She also overcame many obstacles and dangerous situations during her time in the "past" by using her scientific knowledge of the future/modern world.



This is one of her photos.

The one I used is another and superimposed on a different yellow empress/princess qipao.

Haha, thanks Shinkawa. I checked out your website to pick up some new otaku knowledge. I'm more of a Western comics guy. But I grew up reading Hong Kong Jademan comics/DragonBallZ and Japanese manga as well.

Yeah, Akuma is one of my favourite works. To do the illustration, I listened to all the Akuma theme music I could get from his classic SFZ2 theme to SF4. But the one I listened the most to get into Akuma's spirit was his roof-top intro from Capcom VS SNK2 and Shin Akuma's theme from CVS2.

I plan to try again with Chun Li with different technique and different eyes. ^^

I edited the face a bit more.
Previously, the eyes seemed a little bit further apart. Standard is "one eye" apart from each other.
Modified hair.
The previous one seemed like she had a bump on the head...that was because I was following the look of the Kotobukiya Supergirl statue.
Fixed eyes...pupils are bigger now.
Added more shadows and greyscale tones plus highlights to the lips.




Kara close up.


I better get back to my painting homework and leave Supergirl alone.

New 52-Supergirl digital draft. Will update S emblem later.

I think she looks better with the new medium length hair with bangs. ^^

Hi Inachi,

I am impatient to color her too. But, I think she'll have to wait a bit to get colorized. My client wants her in black and white, and I have an upcoming possible job with a big client. Hopefully I land the job. ^^

Here's something new I did, experimenting with digital watercolor brushes.
Brush with texture was made by learning Dani Draws tutorial online. Then applied to different water color splatter brushes by Danny Tang. The splatters can be easily made by scanning in watercolor strokes on artblock paper and defining them as brushes through PS.

Thanks, man.

Joker commission draft.
Will modify the coat to be burnt and tattered at the back edges.

Left hand could be holding severed Batman head.
Right arm holding short switchblade or short knife.
Or maybe a chainsaw to be unconvetional and more sinister.

Eyes will be read.

Thanks, man. Since you're a graphic design/arts and design college student too....you can take a go at coloring my pieces if you like.

There is this book by ImagineFX, a special edition magazine that teaches human anatomy as well as animal anatomy. Very interesting.

There are some parts of the human anatomy that they don't cover in detail, but they covered very thorougly on feet, hands, arms, legs etc.
When I was a kid, I loved robots and transformers. I drew lots and lots of Transformers until a girl in class said that I could only draw robots, then I diversified into drawing humans. And since I loved superheroes and comic characters, that's how I ended up drawing them a lot.

It was sketched using pencils on artblock, scanned and then modified with photoshop using Wacom Bamboo.

Haha, if you're talking about your own stuff as in college stuff, I know the feeling.....lots of exercise and assignments to do from college.
For me, the style of my college is to do everything in one week. It's very rushed.

----------------------------------------------------------------

I've been reading some books, while some professional artists say that you can maximize the performance of your PS by reducing the history state, some recommend that you have 20 states. The ones who say you can have little history states to undo is because "if you make that many mistakes and need to undo that many, you're not making good decisions as an artist to begin with......" oh well, that's what some say.

Anyhow, this only affects those with older machines like mine.
New PCs have monstrous amount of RAM and with Win7, the sky is the limit, just pop in more RAM.

I'm waiting for the launch of new processors from Intel this year to capitalize on new tech and faster speeds, before I buy a new PC.

I find this review by a reader on Amazon.com best describe what I want to say about some digital artist or graphic design books and magazines.
They don't really teach you anything, it says it does, but it really doesn't, most of what you get is just pages & pages of very beautiful prints of their work.



You really need to sift out the not so helpful ones, and take only the helpful ones. I for one would not want to buy beautiful photobooks suitable for the coffee table, if I'm looking to learn step by step. ^^

95% complete.

lolz. I have had this table for a long time. It was broken, but I just nailed it back.

-------------------------------------------------------------

This was done a long time ago. I wanted a sculptor to custom sculpt a Nina Williams for me. So I thought of drawing turn-around views of her.
I started by copying the Namco Nina Williams artwork, but then I stopped and never continued as the price of a custom statue was too expensive for me.

A4 sized. Watercolor and ink.

I find it ironic that General Thunderbolt Ross eventually became what he hated and hunted most of his life....a hulk himself. ^^ But a bad-@$$ hulk nonetheless...combining his military experience and strategic combatant mind with the incredible strengths and invulnerability of a hulk...what a combo.

It's out! I designed the labels for the Opika Organic Virgin Coconut Oil bottles according to the client's specifications. The coconut oil is now on the shelves and available for purchase at Opika Restaurant/Retail Shop at 1 Utama Shopping Mall.

The coconuts were painted with Photoshop CS5.5
