Rarity test

2011-11-18T00:06:00.001-08:00

Bought new tablet monitor thing, and what better way to test it out by drawing the best pony around, Rarity!

Now if I could only bring myself to do a serious one...

Celestia's passing.

Done in Paint Tool SAI and PS
Really liking the outcome for Paint tool SAI.

Also, lazy clouds are lazy.

Comic by jackjacko-eponymous:
Sunrise of a New Age

It's a really well done comic, even if you aren't into ponies(unlikely), at least check it out for the art.

2011-11-02T07:44:00.000-07:00

I'm quite happy with how this one turned out, especially since it didnt take me very long to finish it.

Also, PONIES YES!

Of course, had to listen to Art of the Dress while doodling.

You won't get it unless you watch the awesome Luna Eclipsed episode.

Plus- I like how they gave her jelly hair.
Plus plus- Coincidentally the same name of one of my favourite songs

Plusplusplus: I copypasta'd the background image, so sue me.

I have no idea what I'm doing, but at least I finished it before the long awaited Luna episode. (barely)

WIP

2011-10-02T03:52:00.000-07:00

Unable to finish during book-out weekend.
More like unable to find the motivation to finish it, so what else is new?
Probably won't finish it.

Note: "Detail" or lack thereof, just means close-up, probably should've used that word instead but I'm booking in in about half an hours time and I'm a little too lazy to edit it.

Rainbow Dash - A free spirit

2011-09-24T17:07:00.000-07:00

Enlisted in the army, no time to draw.
MLP season 2 has started, and needless to say, it's pretty darn awesome.
Did a quick doodle, booking back in today *sad face*.

Everytime I do crunches I see the beautiful sky, Tekong is actually very beautiful, they should scrap it as a military base, and turn it into an island resort.
The island is sea as far as the eye can see and it just goes on forever. You could almost see the spherical sky encompass you, it's like you're on a deserted island and all the troubles of the world are left behind.

then I remember I'm doing crunches.

Equestrian Solar Eclipse

2011-08-11T14:46:00.000-07:00

Started out innocently enough as a background practice, ended up pony themed.
Haww yeah.

A tad too much space between the clouds and the mountains though, but I'd say it was a good attempt.

Edit: After looking at it again, the right side trees are incorrectly highlighted, and on the whole everything looks like it's taken with an infrared camera or something.
I'll do better next time round.

OMG, ANOTHER ONE?

Squall is a brony

2011-06-30T08:57:00.000-07:00

Squall is totally a brony, well, if MLP existed in the final fantasy universe.
I mean, in the first two episodes where Twilight Sparkle was a loner and
had to understand the magic of friendship, don't you just IMMEDIATELY think of Squall?
Maybe I've been playing too much Dissidia.

Anywho, pls excuse the roughness/sketchyness of this picture, got it done real quick because I wanted to go back to watching more MLP OHOHOHOHOHOHO! BROHOOF!

P.S please do not think any less of me... (ya like anyone actually visits this blog)

Edit: After watching 7 episodes into 4am in the morning, I must say the show has a very artistic style going for it.
The ponies are just the same template only given different hair/tail/eyes (much like anime) but the backgrounds and animations are very fluent and very nice.

If I could draw backgrounds as nice as that, I'd be a happy man.

How to draw, the CM way!

2011-06-23T14:36:00.000-07:00

Anyway, this is just how I draw and the steps I take.
This is by no means the only way, nor the most effective,
after all, all my art experience comes from... well... experience,
pure trial and error, and figuring out different tricks
that seem to work is part of the fun of drawing.

Anyway, if any of you readers like it, I may do more specific ones in the future.

Really just a quick drawing...

Recently finished playing Pokemon Black, and it was really fun, it felt like old school pokemon (I skipped playing ruby/saph or diamond/pearl)
and it's nice to see that they stuck with the same, familiar, battle system throughout
(COUGH unlike final fantasy COUGH).

Also, pick the girl, I don't care what anybody says, the girl makes the game a whole lot brighter.
Basically it replaces the dark blue theme (boy) with pink (girl) which makes it a lot less gloomy.

Also ALSO, Zekrom (black pokemon) looks like a robot, Reshiram (white pokemon) is waaaaaaaaay better.
Zekrom < Reshiram

Malzahar

2011-04-13T10:27:00.000-07:00

Been playing LoL (League of Legends) basically, it's DotA.

DLed a custom skin by Bajoba, which in my opinion is the best custom skin for Malzahar.
And considering how the OFFICIAL skins are just cheap recolours, his skin shines even more!

Anyway:
-> link is here <-
[Bajoba] Malzahar necromancer skin
-> link is here <-

Long story short, I drew this because the custom skin didnt come with a custom loadscreen/in-game portrait.
HOWEVER, I realised that I do not have the software to turn ordinary jpeg/PSD/PNG/ files into the game .DDS files,
so I basically lost all motivation to finish the background. (also I've tried downloading softwares to convert, but I just couldnt find one that worked)

Initial sketch:

2011-01-19T07:35:00.000-08:00

Learnt how to animate (well, a little) thanks, Danial

First test:

"Page 5" animated (full speed 15fps): note that this is only but a small small smaaaaallll part of what I intended to fully animate (note that this consists of 12 frames, thus it actually lasts less than 1sec ROFL)

"Page 5" animated (2fps)

Animating sure is tedious, now I know why 360 views are always done with sky backgrounds, so they only have to use ONE and not draw a different background for each frame
It is suicide to do otherwise, so next time you see an indoors 360 view, be sure to replay it a bajillion times to fully appreciate it!

This is just the general flaws that anime style artists like to follow
In truth, there is a whole wide specturm spanning from anime to realistic.
The good thing is, most anime artists are moving towards the other end.
But at the same time, the realistic style artists are moving towards anime too.

Oh! Also! Don't forget to choose a really really unrealistic hair colour for your anime character, like.. BLUE!

Page 1 delayed! (forever?)

2010-10-23T21:49:00.001-07:00

Started this comic with Jit again because previously, doing the PNT comic I learnt a ton of stuff, constantly looking at references this and that.

Well I haven't even finished page 1 and I've already learnt something!

Colouring was slapped on last minute to see how it would look.
And if possible I would like to use this style to go forth with the comic...

I did work on page 1 though:

It will be scrapped and redone, everything!

Final Reference sheet

2010-10-22T09:51:00.000-07:00

Elsie's Reference sheet
Completed

4:23 am
After multiple attempts to re-create Elsie's face failed, I'm coming to the conclusion that I'll have to change her face altogether.

Didn't have that problem with Tomas (see below).

3:58 am (2 days later)
Well I tried my very best to keep the face consistent.
There aren't as many variables I can play around with, for instance Tomas's bushy eyebrows and cleft chin.
Women... the defining variables are a lot more subtle, and I really have no patience for that sort of crap...

A water-bottle I designed behind the back of my superiors during the internship.
Was eventually given away to a colleague of mine. (Jonathan)

I made another one which I felt was better, because there was a naked lady on it.
Gave that one away too (to Doreen), and sadly I didnt take any pictures of that one.

ARTDUMP AUG 2010

2010-09-04T06:19:00.000-07:00

Boy oh boy has it been awhile since I did an ARTDUMP.

Well, I actually did a lot of drawing during the internship, in between calls, but since I also wrote customer information on the same paper, and I'm too lazy to edit it out, I can't post it.
Banking secrecy and all that good stuff...

That's about 20-30 pages of art dump I can't post lol.

Oh boy... I think I've gotten worse at drawing... I really do...
*Last part was done for a report where illustrations was compulsory.

Commish

2010-08-30T22:23:00.000-07:00

After getting requests upon requests to draw this and to draw that, I've decided to open up some sort of commissions service. I mean people come to me, willing to pay me even before I say anything.

That was before I saw how much other artists were charging and how much better they were than myself.

I am not worthy to charge money for commissions.

But people STILL come to me for requests (not that I mind, honestly I'm quite happy to do it for them).

Bottom line, I'll accept requests, $10 - $25 depending on what you want me to do.
I'll do anything from Caricatures to Full length comics, you can throw me a really obscure and unusual task too if you think I'm up to it, like scuptures and maybe mosiac, I dont know...
Basically, I'll charge you based on how long the request takes me to complete.

If you decide to opt for the commission, it won't be posted on the blog, rights to the picture will be exclusively yours. Unless permission is granted by you for me to post it, you'll be the only one with a copy.

Email me at www.hipposux@hotmail.com , and we'll work out the pricing and your request.

Another love request!

Lessons (COMICS)

2010-07-18T06:54:00.000-07:00

Every new piece I do, I seem to learn something new. (I still have a long way to go)
I learn about my habits,
and I learn many different methods and expectations,
I also learn that I really suck at drawing comics....

Before I forget, I want to put this on the blog to remind myself.
A small comic, WIP

In my last comic, the Church one, Jit commented that my lines were messy and all over the place. To which I agreed...

He also said that the images looked "flat", to which I told him to go stick his head in a fat man's sweaty ass-crack.
Well no, my exact words were "mmm yeah... maybe..." but he got my implied meaning...

I am also taking my time with this one, it has been 3 weeks and I havent even finished the 2nd panel. Making sure the lines are a little neater and thinner, as well as improving on the colouring.

I hate colouring...

I realised, in my last comic, my focus and emphasis was all off. I rushed through the lines(8hrs is considered rushing in CM time) and focused too much on the colouring.

What I should strive to replicate, would be something close to this:

Yeah... the face palm picture is the picture I strive to recreate...

TL:DR
Lesson 1: Don't give yourself too much time to do something, you'll over texture a lot of unnesscary stuff, also, you'll get less motivated to complete something.

Lesson 2: Effective lighting can still be achieved with 1-2 different level colours. Keep the colours simple, direct, and to the point.

Lesson 3: Get a pen for fucks sake! If you suck at using the tablet to do the outlines, do it with a pen! If you mess up, circle it with a pencil so you dont forget to edit it when u transfer it to PS.

Lesson 4: When listening to Lesson 3, remember to keep the paper in some folder or something. If you leave them on your desk like the lazy slob you are, the moisture from the Airconditioning will make it moist and most likely smudge your ink.

Lesson 5: With regards to Lesson 4, buy a folder like thing.

Lesson 6: This is turning into a "to-do list".

NOTE* These lessons are only to be applied when doing comics, you numb nut!

I'm talking to myself, not anyone else...

This internship is driving me insane....
More unfinished stuff:

Scraps

2010-07-15T06:51:00.000-07:00

Scraps... because I forgot, or didn't want to post the following stuff last time.
So, enjoy, just remember there is a reason I didn't post these stuff before...(because it's total fucking garbage)

Done in IS art class (2hrs each). Loved that class, thought of failing it so I could repeat.

Probably the most pointless comic I've done yet... it probably won't have a continuation comic...

BCOMM2

2010-02-01T06:00:00.000-08:00

BCOMM2: E-Portfolio

Strengths:

Finance related:
-Enrolled in Banking and Finance course, working towards my diploma
-An addiction for investing
-Read 2 books on investing(on leisure time)
-Active Value Investing

-Technical Analysis Explained

Art related:
-Creative
-Enjoys being unorthodox and apart from the norm
-Have experience in multiple forms of art (Self taught)
-Traditional Pencil and Paper

-Photoshop

-Wire Sculptures

-Caracatures

-Portraits

-Box Art

-Just to name a few...

Weaknesses:
-I can't draw Feathers or Swords
-Straying too far from the "norm"
-Although I suppose it contributes somewhat to me being creative, it does
occasionally leave me quite clueless as to why the masses are attracted
to the things that they are attracted to.

-Eg. Sports cars, New handphones, etc

What I'm doing to rectify the problem:
-Currently, I'm enrolled in "Introduction to Social Psychology" IS Module in
Ngee Ann.

Note: This post is required by my BCOMM2 module, I generally refrain from self-whoring.
Perhaps I could get some pointers from Jit.

BOXART

2010-01-26T01:43:00.001-08:00

===============================================================
Boxart for the Spider game
===============================================================

===============================================================
Unconciously inspidered by Maexxna's bossfight.

I didn't even notice the similarity until I was halfway through
the design.

This is for a CFAS project to create a financial based board game.
Orginal idea of the name of our game was "Megazord Spiderweb".
I changed it to "List on the Web".
===============================================================
===============================================================
EDIT: Chong Ying and the rest of my group apparently felt that
it was too creepy.

Whaaaaaat... how is that creepy?
I thought it was hilarious acctually...

EDITEDITEDIT: Doesn't really matter now.
Honestly, considering how well received the
board game design(see below) was,
I was expecting this one to blow my team away.

BOY WAS I WRONG!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAhahaahaa.a....a.a.....

Meh...
Note to self:
-Ask for preferences BEFORE acctually doing the work.
-Send draft/sketch for approval before proceeding.
(common sense really when I think about it now.)
-Be less individualistic.
(Why try and be creative, conforming is for the true non-conformist.)

============================================================================
Spider Finance Board Game for project CFAS.
The name hasnt been decided yet.
Basically Chong Ying just instructs me what to draw... and I'll draw it...
Lol it wasn't easy I must say... it's 3.04am in the morning and I just finshed it...
============================================================================
Stage 1: Basic Idea (Done by me)
============================================================================

============================================================================
Stage 2: Concept (Done by Chong Ying)
============================================================================

============================================================================
Final Stage: (Done by me, Duh)
============================================================================

I don't think I can sign on it, since it is a group project, but I still forced myself into the picture. Benefits of being the artist!

============================================================================
ART DUMP! is not ready yet... Truthfully, I havent been doing much drawing
this January. So it is going to be quite short... (so far only 2-3 pieces of work)

Incoming.......ART DUMP DEC 2009!!!!!!!

(A background for a poster I never finished)

BONUS COMICS! (Apologies if handwriting is messy)

Just by coming to this site and viewing my stuff is enough to make my day (even if I know it or not). My intention for this blog is more for my own record of my stuff, I honestly didnt expect people to think that my drawings were "facinating" or even appealing to look at...

I just want to extend my thanks for letting me know that you acctually view this blog.(whether you tell me in person, or post on the tag box) In that sense, it's a form of motivation to maintain this blog. You can say that it's a form of showing support, and I'm truly flattered.

And if you not only view my art, but also read and put up with my nonsensical babblings, I would personally give you ONE cookie. Yes, ONE cookie!

A little doodle, ended up choosing this as my desktop background.
==================================================================
Portrait of myself, in all my Wow-nerd rage glory!
==================================================================

==================================================================
Everybody has an "inner nerd", except my inner nerd, is practically
oozing out my eye sockets, nostrils, earholes, and pimples....

Btw, I dont really have a "For the horde :)" shirt...

...but I kinda wish I did... :P

P.S. Paladins are overpowered as all hell...

A doodle related to the metal wire figurine I posted earlier.
I suppose you could call it the "concept art" for the wire figurine,
although it was done about 1 month after the completion of the wire figurine.

It's time for another ART DUMP!!!
(done in school, during breaks inbetween classes, thus mostly no references)
No photoshop
Done mostly with: Mechanical pencil, Eraser on the end of my mechanical pencil,
Tissue paper, and Paper, to draw on.

=================================================================================
Title: L is for Lordaeron.
=================================================================================

=================================================================================
Title: Luchadors (Mexican masked wrestler)
=================================================================================

=================================================================================
Doodle: Imps
=================================================================================

=================================================================================
Doodle: Child Eating Pale Man from Pan's Labyrinth (Remeber all these were done without any reference)
=================================================================================

=================================================================================
Title: The girl and the giant (I cheated and used a reference for the eagle)
=================================================================================

=================================================================================
Chong Ying said that the girl looked like Jessica.

By the way did you know that raptors were acctually birds not reptiles?
The closest known relative to the Tyrannosaurus Rex is the common everyday
chicken...
And there has been skeletal fossils to prove that raptors acctually had feathers.

Ty Lee (From Avatar the Last Airbender series)
==============================================================================
Just fixed my computer(where I do most of my photoshop stuff)
and thought I'd do a piece.

Obviously not one of my better pieces, but I thought the site needed more
colour.

Needless to say.... it isn't completed... :(
==============================================================================

==============================================================================
I have gained a whole new respect for porn artists.
(those who draw porn)
(not those asshats who do some from of directing or acting and call themselves "artists")

I used to think porn artists got off easy because they are drawing
something which is already naturally pleasing to the eye.

After trying my hand at it for myself, I realise that it is not the case.

To draw porn really requires a lot of knowledge on the female
anatomy and ability to draw from unique perspectives to cater to
those "innovative" porn poses which can show off the bust, genitals and face all
in one picture.

And that's not even taking into account drawing those spastic facial emotions.

/respect.

Metal sculpture: sorceress

========================================================
Tried something slightly abstract for a change.

Done in school (banking school)

Tools: Pencil, pencil-end-eraser, pen, and tissue paper.

Time: ...within 1 day, on and off during breaks between classes.

No photoshop this time, quite pleased with the result.

========================================================
Oh, and this is acctually in the Artdump(August09) but
I felt it sort of deserved a post all on its own.
(considering the quality of my previous posts.....)
========================================================

========================================================
As for the meaning of this picture...
well it doesnt really have one...
I basically just lumped random objects into the picture
and added extra limbs...

Orginally intended it to be in colour.
Though, now it's doomed to an eternity of bland greyscale mediocrity.
=====================================================================

Do tell me if you can reconise the person in the picture.
If you do, I guess I dont suck as much as I think I do.
If you don't... I guess I fail :(
(either that or it's a fail on your part for not knowing the person to begin with)

========================================================
creationism

cant help but feel God never used gloves when making us...
========================================================

========================================================
Areas of unforgivable errors:
--------------------------------------------------------
-Nose bridge too protruding.
-In fact, entire nose is too much outward
-Non-existant chin should be rectified
-Resulting in steeper jawbone, also another problem
-Teeth on creation are too big, and too white, needs to be more stained and yellow
-

(leave whatever critics you want to bombard me with in the comment box to the left, and if it makes sense to me.. i'll act on them, HELP ME IMPROOOVEEEEE!!!!)
