Tsubomi

I have been having several gastric pain attack these days.. Geez..


It's been awhile since I blog.. Major art block still hangs around me.. Yup.. I have not touch my pencil and paper for quite long.. ermmm... like 3-4 weeks I assume.. (-_-;) (Wow.. that's long..)

Our com has been pretty crazy and slow these days.. sigh..


This is the only painting I've done in March.. and it was completed 2 weeks ago.. don't have mood to post... drag until now...



Title: Tsubomi

Not very good at naming it..


Well, here is it.. Didn't post the original color.. heehee..

When is the last time I logged into Gaiaonline.. hmmm... last year 2008.. in June... yup..

I didn't login in for 9 whole months!! Neglected gaiaonline for so long...
Well, just today, logging into my Gaiaonline account and I want to view my gallery..

I JUST found out all the drawings that I used to submit in the ART ARENA is gone!!! (all 21 entries are gone..) It's seems that Gaia have change everything.. There is a new Arena too.. I totally unfamiliar with it... I didn't even notice that...


I'm kinda confuse for now..
So, I went over to the 'Forum' and search for more information..
I found an article (posted on Aug 2008) saying that something about migrating all the old arena entries into the new system.. and we were ask not resubmit our old work, they say the old arenas will still exist, but for viewing only etc..

I don’t know what to do.. Does that mean: my entries still exist in gaiaonline?? (Then where is it? I can’t find it…)
So.. meaning: I have to wait until the Gaia Online stuffs finish moving all the entries in the old arena into the new arena? Only then I'm able to view my works? (but it's already 6 months then! I didn’t see my entries yet.. Haiz.. Must be patient..)


*Currently all the links that I've provide in my old website and my DeviantArt website linking to my gaia gallery is broken.. You will no longer be able to view all the drawings I posted there.. For Now that is..*
(Me either..) I cannot view the old arena too.. (it's blank..)

I guess we have to wait and see..

This is the new gallery site in Gaia.. Well, it's totally empty.. Currently it stated: No work has been submitted by artist. Zzzzzzz.....
new gallery site.

Mikado Dolls Doodle.

I still haven't get over with the tablet pen issue.. The pen can still be used.. but I just feel weird when using it.. The pen’s pressure is not stable.. I notice that, I have to press REAL hard so that the scatters can spread out but it doesn’t look good anymore... If this goes on the tablet is gone for good..


Oh well, enough of my meaningless complains..


I was surfing youtube today, on the front-page I saw an interesting video teaching us how to draw Mikado dolls.. (I think..)

After watching, I wanted to try out on digital program instead.

Well here’s the first try on OC.. Uncomfortable with the unstable pen pressure..


Pardon the ugliness of the image.. my drawing skill is not very good.. No matter how I look at this, it’s totally opposite from that video.. The image in the video looks way cuter~!


Second try on PS.. this time, I use path tool to create the line-art and colored it.. Looks more nicer.. except the female doll’s body is a little off.. Nevertheless, this looks much better that the previous piece.. XD

Sob..

I'm really in a bad mood..

Yesterday.. I broke mum's washing machine while doing laundry.. it still can wash but can no longer dry clothes anymore.. Lucky mum is not angry.. and beside the washing machine is very old already.. XP

Today.. The com went crazy again.. Restart by itself 5-6 times.. and then....

Now...

I just realize…

My tablet pen is BROKEN!!! Nooooooo~!!!!!!!!! Well, not totally broken but the pen's pressure is not functioning properly.. Especially when it comes to scattering part.. No matter how I change the ps brush options.. it's still not working..

Take a look at the image..


The black colored one was drawn with mouse.. now that's call scatter.. and look at the red colored one.. drawn with the pen.. Totally not working anymore..


跟了我5-6年的宝贝坏了。。。
心痛死了。想哭可是哭不出来。


Lets see what is the 3rd object thats's going to broken..

Round 4. Final upload..

刚好看到以前我曾经画过的倩女幽魂图..
心血来潮, 便随手拿起铅笔又开始乱涂鸦. 东加一点, 西加一点.. 虽然是只是重画但是应该比以前的好多吧.


Random doodling.. Redraw this out of blue. Completed this piece one day ago.. Check out the older version (traditional piece) in my old website: A Simple Yume Geocities closed...



The sketch.. I don't really remember what clothing they wear so I just add some other elements in it.


I don't bother to do line-art on this piece.. Sometimes my sketches looks better than line-art.. This piece was color digitally in ps. It’s much easier. At least, don’t need to worry about mistakes or choosing wrong colors. Hmmm... After eleven years later.. Not much improvement either leh...

The characters belongs to Tsui Hark. Art by: me.

Another preview..

Another tiny preview.. I just remember I haven't upload all the previous preview images.. to DA.. Geezz.. (com too lag.. have to delay uploading all images to DA..)

fancy circles

I like the fancy circles in Fishbowl website.

I wanna have my own fancy circles custom brushes.. and I actually made some of it.. There I have it..
Currently, I've 70+ patterns.. I still wanna make some more~!!! ^-^ Although it's not as good as: Fishbowl ones.


These are just some of it.. (early stage patterns..) Yeah.. it's kinda ugly.. I didn't upload the other patterns.. (heheehe..) I want to keep those for other drawings.. XD

My Bunny..

Inspired by Casshern Sins anime. I don't remember which episode.. but I saw 2 cute girls playing by the beach/seaside.. They are so cute and adorable.. Hence, this image came into my mind.


Initially, I was just planning out color scheme on the sketch before I draw the line-art with OC.. I didn't expect this piece will turn out so nice. In the end, I gave up on doing the line-art..


I crop off all unnecessary areas.. (though original looks nice too.) I really love the colors..


So cute..

practice.. painting..

Round 2.

Very random painting.. I purposely cropped off most of his hair... (covering mistake.. heheh..)

BIND

Long time no blog.. Neglected it.. When was the last time I blog ehhh.. forget..

Inspired by a random Japanese drawing I saw.. dunno on which website it's from.. I wish I know who the artist was.. sigh..

Completed this drawing last month.. but I cast aside in hard-disk.. =P

Never tried just line-art and flat coloring style before.. Well here is it..



Yah... Not really use to flat coloring. In the end.. I paint it.. XD Original color!


I find the color too bright.. So, I desaturated her dress, bg and hair.. Much better.. (it a bit creepy though ..)
