*Chi*

The last time I drew Chi was so ugly and scary.. lol, Gotta draw it again. I redrew it again, with reference of course..

Somehow 'Chi's' name reminds me of Chobits who also have the same name Chi.. ehh..


Chi is lost.. Sob.. Sob..

Time taken: ehh... less than an hour..?...?
Medium: HB and 2B.
Paper: Lecture pad.
Reference: Images from Google.

Chi belong’s to Konami Kanata.

RanDom..

Just one random sketch..

Lookin' sorta awkward pose there..

Since the computer auto restart by itself few times already.. Also lack of space which I mention many times.. It's very laggy most of the time and crashes several time too.. Bro has no intention to reformat the com anytime soon... (-__-;) (Wonder if there are viruses or something else.. have to ask bro..) I'm worried that what if I was painting halfway through then suddenly restart without save.. I cannot imagine that...

Cheoro sketch



Not really satisfied with the previous drawing so I redrew one anime/manga style instead.. finish less than 20 min I assume. Much faster and easier.

:: Cheoro :: Lee Philip ::

Man.. this is the second time the computer actually auto restart by itself right in front of my eyes.. (O.o) Have to retype again..

Anyway, in 'Tae Wang Sa Shin Gi' drama, there is one Guardian which I'm sure female audiences really like/love (that includes me), the appearing of Cheoro (Cheong Ryong), the azure dragon (青龙) one of the four guardians.

Yup.. He's so mysterious and gorgeous in many ways. Cheoro always loves to stay in the forest by himself. Doesn’t speak much, bad at drinking wine. Always stay beside or near Sujini. (sweet.)

Here is a portrait of him that I drew traditionally.. Learnt a lesson that is NEVER EVER USED THIN PAPER or printing paper when drawing portrait!!! Too lazy to dig out my drawing paper from the box lah.. so this is what happened in the end.. paper ceased and almost torn when I applied too much force on it..


Doesn't even look like him, ehh.. Looks kinda ugly too.. TOT Still not good at drawing portraits.. Don't know how to draw hair and amour. Lots of mistakes (especially his eyes!) and I've to leave his eyes, nose, lip and some others parts untouched because the paper can no longer survived the torture of erasing or redo after several time.. Considering to draw another image of him.. This time with drawing paper..

Time taken: 4 hours at least..
Medium: HB, 2B, 4B and 6B.
Paper: printing paper..
Reference: Images from Google.
Music: Approval (许诺).


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

Last but not least, some screenshot of Cheoro. Actor: Lee Philip.


This is Cheoro. Lee Philip. 帅帅地.


Damdeok, General Ko and Cheoro. So rare to see Cheoro smile.. 呀! 难得一见的笑容哦.

I sort of playing around with the blending filters..

Yeah... finish watching Tae Wang Sa Shin Gi (aka: The Legend or 太王四神記).

It’s was really good drama. (Especially the battle/war parts. Feels like playing Age Of Empire again.. ) Yaahhh~! Bae Yong Joon is still so cool and handsome as ever. (I didn’t know Bae Yong Joon was injured while filming this drama.. injuring his finger, neck and shoulder.. Ouch..)

So looking forward to see who Damdeok is gonna end up with.. (Hope it was Sujini.)
Haizzz.. But, I was SO DISAPPOINTED with the ending.. (好失望噢.) Ended quite abruptly.
What happened to Sujini and the rest of the characters after that??!! (So puzzled.)

Chi~!

Omg, (can’t help it.. using this word for opening..) I’m so addicted to this anime~! It’s called: Chi’s Sweet Home. Just saw this few days ago. Each episode is around 3 minutes long.. (So short leh..) Cats/kittens lovers definitely must see~! Meow~! Chi already captures my heart…(also makes me wanna collect all Chi’s stickers..) I wanna have one kitten too~!

(Resource from wiki)
A gray and white kitten with black stripes wanders away from her mother and siblings one day while enjoying a walk outside with her family. Lost in her surroundings, the kitten struggles to find her family and instead is found by a young boy, Youhei, and his mother. They take the kitten home, but pets are not allowed in their housing complex, they try to find a new home for the kitten. This proves to be difficult, and the family eventually decides to keep the kitten, naming her "Chi".

Here are some screenshots I took from CR..
Introducing:

This is Chi~! I loved her voice very much. I even find her voice quite familiar. Sounds like Himawari in Crayon Shin-chan~! Seiyuu: Satomi Korogi. Also the voice of Himawari alright~! (I was correct~!!! No wonder so familiar~!)


Awww…. Poor neko.. Chi is lost.. (I wanna hug Chi..)


Chi among the stuff toys. Camouflage~! lol


Chi’s near death experience… (After bathing… lol)


I love Chi’s back.

Chiii~! Meow.. Such an adorable Neko..


My very UGLY/SCARY Chi…超丑的. (Lying on my stomach… Trying to remember how Chi looks like without reference..anyhow sketch..) I CAN NEVER DRAW KITTEN/CAT~!! That’s why I only draw the back of the cat..

Chi belong’s to Konami Kanata.

^~Onmyouji~^

Finally, the last entry for today..

Onmyouji desu. 阴阳师. (陰陽師) I really love the movie very much!! Watch it few year ago and I still want to see it again~! I hope to see it again!! I prefer the first movie, it’s much better than the second one though..

I love the characters: Abe no Seimei (by: Mansai Nomura) and Minamoto no Hiromasa. (by: Ito Hideaki)

I’ve always been obsess with ancient priest/priestess, dark, supernatural, mysterious, myth, legends etcs thingy.. Don’t understand why.. it will always attracts me..

Just finish this just now.. Only took few hours.. A simple coloring over the sketch..



Just a simple sketch.


Simple coloring over it.. Now then I realize.. it looks horrible.. The bamboos looks ugly too.. + My ugly calligraphy. I use a simple program: ougishi4lb30 to write it.


Playing with the colors again..

* 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
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~!
