* Minty Breeze *

Yup~! That’s the title~! Minty Breeze.

I really love love this piece~! It’s one of the most beautiful piece I’ve ever done~! What’s more no reference~! Woo.. But the only thing is.. It’s done in 768 x 1024 pixels.. So small.. Sob.. Since the hard disk is almost running out of space.. must reduce the size.. ToT

Just finish this yesterday. I was listening to Jay’s 发如雪 while I paint this. Took about 5/6 hours perhaps..


Totally done digitally~!
1. The sketch was done in oc.
2. Tried to color in oc again..
3 As you can see.. I fail to do so with it. After sometime.. Switched over to ps.. lol
4 The ugly hair and eyes!!
5 Keep on painting…

Finally, end up with such lovely piece.. Well, to me that is.. I didn’t add in the petals.. Since I may ruin the whole piece.. This is the Original color.


Here’s a softer version after several round of blending options.

Change the colors again.. Hmm.. IT’S STILL LOOKS VERY LOVELY~! Lol.

The softer version.

This is slightly darker version.


Still playing around with the color options..


Thee softer version again.

Random crap II.

This is the second piece.


Random 2

Random crap..

This time is craps.. Only get to scribble few images.. all turn out not so good..

This is the only 1 out of 2 turn out ‘okay’ pieces.. I’m so happy to be able to doodle.. Even though it’s just random craps.. At least better than being art block.. (-__-|||)


Random 1

+ Unnamed +

Next one.. Unnamed…. No idea what to name it.. lol.. It was just a sketch.. I was sorta boring and wanted to paint.

Finish painting this in late May again..

The sketch.. love this sketch.


Coloring with OpenCanvas. Hmm.. color looks very dull eh… and.. bloody again.. What am I thinking of these days.. Just dark mood..


Well, just switch over to ps to add more intense colors.. Really love this piece. It looks so traditional~! Kinda looks like it’s painted with watercolor~! How did I do that?! Lol..


Lastly add more shadows in to atmosphere.. not sure if the shadow is correct at the background.. since I did not look at references. Can’t paint wing very well..

-:Tangerine Dreams:-

Nothing much to draw/scribble or painting these days.. Only manage to just few pieces..

Here is the first one. It was completed in late May.. I named it Tangerine Dreams.

The sketch..



The original color



After several blending options.. Which I really love to do… everytime..



Yeah the purple version.. XD sorta hideous.. slap head..



Finally close up.

What The...

Open my e-mail just now, and I saw one of Gaia Online messages saying my ACOUNT IS NOW BLOCKED~!!! I was kinda puzzle.. So, I take a look and see what’s is going on.. It’s says:

‘We have detected multiple failed login attempts have been made on your
account, in a total of 5 times,
therefore your account on Gaia Online has been blocked for 15 minutes.”

O.o
EHhhhhh~!!!!!! The message was sent on 24/5/08.. Strange leh.. I didn’t logged in Gaia for quite sometimes.. now receive this message..（虾米呀?!我正在想不会吧…我的作品这么烂有人要啊.. 不可能吧.. 希望不是这样..）

When did I ever failed to login in Gaia? Unless connection problems but lucky it didn’t happen.. I know Gaia will ban the account/ip if we sign in wrongly for the 2nd or 3rd time. But 5 times?! 难道我得了早老性痴呆症吗? 怎么我都不记得有这回事? 难道我忘了吗? 还是真得有这回事? 奇怪? 搞什么东东呀? What’s going on here?

Hence, I quickly went to login my Gaia and checked my account... nothing happens.. Whew..

sims sketch II

The original sketch image.

After editing/painting with soft brush in ps here what it looks like..

Reference image.. Clothing from: Mod the sims 2. Skin: Teru_k. Hair: SAU. Eyes: Anva. I’ve forgotten the rest of it...

sims sketch..

Reference from the sims images I took.. I didn’t notice her face at all.. After scanning the image, I realize her face, hair and body was off. XD

Lennon..

Sketch.. Reference pose from Gackt images..

Just uncomplete cg..

Yup..
This unfinish cg have been cast aside for weeks.. and its still not done.. Can’t find a appropriate music to listen, I can’t paint without music so I have to put this away..

1. The primarily sketch..
2. Color in ps but fail.. Dunno why it always turn out like this when I use ps..
3. So went for semi-realism painting instead. It’s suppose to be anime-ish..
4. Re-painted with OC.. Which is way better, but I have to reduce the original size a lot smaller.. (nooo~!! Cries*)

Sims..

ART BLOCK SUX TO THE CORE!!! Yes.. Have major art blockage.. That’s why didn’t upload any drawings.. -__- No mood man…

Anyway.. Just playing with the sims 2.. (Brought it 1 year or 2 years ago.. Deluxe version.) Not really playing.. (Use to though.. Mainly trying to kill all the sims.. hehehe joking..) Just taking snapshots.. Also can use for references too. Join many forums.. Like: Mod The Sims 2, Wicked Sims.. blah blah so on.. Just to download files.. (Download too many..)

Game crashes many times.. C drive only has 25.6 gb to begin with. (Already use up a lot..) The rest of 48.8 gb went to D drive.. The base game already took 4gb add on the files that I’ve downloaded to the folder took another 1 to 2 gb.. Now left 2+ gb in the C drive.. Zzzzz…

Have to build simple background for snapshots which I’m not good at..

Got tired of taking snapshots and switching between the game and pasting the images to ps.. Just too slow.. Then I found out this nice program from the sims 2 wiki.
Downloaded for screenshots Fraps which is a wonderful program.
Then begin to abusing the print key button like mad.. lol Tooks tons images.. Only to find few images I loved.. The rest almost craps..

I even saw many amazing sims images in flickr. Wow~! Their editing skills are just superb. (jawdrops.) These are only just few I saw.. There are plenty of them I haven’t seen yet..

Here

Here are just some of snapshots I took..

My fave.. Hair: XM Sims. Skin: Simscribbing. Clothes: Minanna. Wing and background plants: Mod the sims 2. Eyes: Enayla. The rest forgot..


Another.. I just crop off all the edges.. Too many images.. Hair: SAU and XM Sims. Skin: Simscribbing. Clothes: Kamikitten. Eyes: Enayla. Wing and background plants: Mod the sims 2. The rest forgot..


Lastly, made this just now.. lol pretty crappy.. But that’s the best I can do.. It’s the SAME character from the first image above.. just change his hair and makeup..
Hair: Sizz. Skin: Simscribbing. Eyes: Enayla. Clothes: Mod the sims 2. The rest forgot..


I CAN’T WAIT FOR THE SIM 3 TO COME OUT NEXT YEAR!!! WOOHOO~!

++ Tainted ++

That’s what I named for this piece… as u can see.. It’s kinda bloody.. heh.. That’s what I want it to be. Initially, I just wanna play around with oc with this piece.. However, I end up accidentally saving over the sketch!! (Have to rescan the sketch once more..)
Oh well, it’s already done 15% so.. I just went on coloring it..
It’s not really easy to paint on 1 layer especially I’m not really familiar with oc option..
But still it’s fun.. Though, I still added several layer in the end..
Colored in OC (85%) and PS (15%)..

Well this is the UGLY sketch.. Eeeuukkk.. yup, he have cat’s ear..


Here is the steps process..


Finish color in oc.. kinda soft for the color…didn’t add the cat ears.. look nicer like this..


Then I change back to ps and applied dodges/burn and others.. It’s cold and bloodiness..


Later on, added blending options to let the colors look more intense. . Just love the bloodiness.. (Perhaps I'll upload this in Deviantart.)


Well here is the so call flame version.. Non bloodiness that is.. But the flame doesn’t look convincing enough.. (I don’t know how to paint it in oc..)

Fanart.. Kuran Kaname.

Yes~! My first Vampire Knight fanart~! Now I’m the fans of Vampire Knight~! I’m so addicted to it already~! Kaname Sama~! Zero Sama~! Vampire~! Lol.

Kuran Kaname~!玖蘭枢. First attempt.. With reference.. Result: I fail to sketch it even with reference.. ToT


Second piece.. This time, without reference plus my style instead.. (Taste of blood. Heeehee..) (Though I’d really love to draw his eyes in Matsuri Hino’s style. I choose not to..)

The character belongs to Matsuri Hino. Art by: me.

Hmmm… now I realize, I hardly draw any female characters fanart.. (Except few like: Kagome, Rin from Inuyasha.. Sailormoon, Sailor Saturn, Misao from Rurouni Kenshin.. etc.. ) But, who should I draw?

Sketch..

Just a random sketch. Hairstyle reference from Eric Mun’s image..


After scanning and viewing the image, I realize his arms and hand is so small.. So, I crop the whole image.. (Cut off his other hand. lol) still can see his the other small arm and hand though..

Frog Prince

WhooHoo~! I’ve just finish a new drawing~! Here is it~!

Title: My Frog Prince. (lame title..)

Medium:
Mechanical pencil 0.5 HB
A4 paper
Uni-ball 0.38
Opencanvas (just for white hair line.)
PS

Here’s the line art..


The original colors.. In the beginning, I thought green colors will look great for the background.. But not really.. As for her dress I color it black. This way, it’s much easier to change her dress colors. (Actually, I can’t think of any color for her dress.. that’s why it’s in black..) Somehow, the bg doesn’t blend in with the drawing very much.. (I sux at drawing backgroud..)


I thought of changing the background while coloring halfway through.. (I don’t like the forest bg very much..) So, made another simple bg for it.. But looks like valentine theme instead…duh…


Abandon the pervious ‘valentine theme’ bg.. Still went back and choose the forest bg.. This is what is looks like after I went crazy with blending options..


Another few rounds of blurs, duplicating layers and changing blending mode, it looks like this.. Gonna submit this piece in deviantART.


I want to bring out more ‘night’ atmosphere.. The slightly ‘OVER’ bluish color version… got carried away with blending opt again.. lol


Change her dress colors. Hmm… perhaps the blue piece look better..


The 50% screenshot of the original size...

lousy header design..

This is my lousy design.. XD but I really love the color. Heh..


The header.. While making this new header, looking through my old files.. I realize.. I only have very few miserable and pathetic semi-realism paintings in my files.. Worst of all, mostly were guy images painting..

All upload in deviantART except the first one.. The links are link to my deviantART gallery of each deviation ...

Clavis sama again.

Lol.. It’s a random sketch of Clavis sama again.. I’m so obsess with it..
The character Clavis belongs to KOEI and Yura Kairi. Art by: me.



The sketch.. don’t bother to ink it.. I like the way it was..

Don’t really like the color.. Color in OpenCanvas and background painted in PS.. (Image too big.. plus, com d@mn slow already.. cannot handle big file in OpenCanvas.. will only kill the com… )


Not really satisfy with the light colors, so have to change most of the color in ps..

Again, went crazy with the blending options… somehow got carried away again..


I’ve made a header out of it for my ‘dream’ journal records.. Here is the screenshot of it.. XP
