Trailers for my upcoming Web Picture book "Diary Eschaton"

Between Feb - May 2013

As I'm close to completing my year-long Web picturebook, I made quick trailers/teasers to post on facebook and more to motivate myself to complete this project.

This project was conceived after I discovered my wife's pregnancy. I decided to give it all I've got to complete a project as I predict I will not have time to casually draw stuff after my kid arrived.

Unfortunately, my kids decided to come out of this world before I can complete my project. Hence this project is delayed up to 6 months.

 

Currently I'm at the final stages of completion.  Around 70%. I hope to release this web picturebook by November 2013

This art piece is create as a greeting "card" for my friends in Facebook and my neighbours. Although not much effort was put into the design of the Maiden, it's still my first attempted to draw a classical chinese maiden with ancient "wuxia" Attire. I've "modernized" it to give her a more femine and "sexier" appeal.

Due to Work commitments and time constraints I was not able ink it and touchup the picture the way I wanted. But it's still looks okay.

I was told that if maidens where dressed like during ancient times in China, they would be considered as whores.... I guess that's why I'm not into drawing classic chinese "wuxia" archetype characters.

The background was googled from the internet. Copyright goes to it's respective owner(s).

Untitled Lonely Character

Tools
Traditional doodling/sketching

As she stop and rested, she ponders on the long and lonely stretch of road may eventually lead to another deadend

I was just doodling and trying to break out my artist's block when I doodled her. An ordinary post-apocalytic girl archetype. I haven't give much thought on her characterization at first but decided to use she as a practice for my skills in later artworks.

I aim to make her a simple yet appealing character that drawn attention from the people who sees her. I also aim to make she more relatable to Singaporeans.

She will be a testbed for my own experiments in comic drawing, to honed on my fundamentally and go back to basic.

Stay tune for more artworks on her...

RUN FOR LIFE!

After my wife saw my new mast header, she requested me to do a similar pic of her with the Intuos, how can I reject? Since my wife as crazy in running as I'm crazy in drawing, I decided to do a "RUN OF LIFE" lineart for her!

My second artwork using the Intuos 4, the funny thing is I bought the tablet more for coloring but end up doing sketches, something that is quite difficult to do in the Graphire.

Hope to get the hang of the Intuos soon.

Katoots Kat.E

About
A proposed character called Kat.E of a now defunct Toy Collectors Forum "Katoots".

Year

2008

I was once deeply involved in a Toy Collectors Forum called "Katoots", Designed tonnes of characters and items for the forum to flourish. But sadly, a things come to an end.

Now I have some resentments for the Katoots founders, for some reasons I felt the management "played everyone out" and shut the forum out some to some mismanagement. Thinking back the whole episode is so immature. Anyway that's a rant for another time.

As much as I try to forget Katoots, I cannot bare to forget the creations I did. It's after all my hard work. If noone appreciates it fine, at least I do appreciate my own stuff instead of going into self-destruct mode and close the blog.

This "Kat.E" character is suppose to be some moderator robot for Katoots.

Kat.E is NOT copyright of Katoots. The character belongs to me.

About
Fan Art of Allison from cutepet.org

eXpressions
Cutepet is one of the earliest Adult Hentai("Pervert" in Japanese) Website in the internet founded in 1999. It was one of my bookmarks even though it was a porn site. I had respect for any cartoon that uses it's own style and originality.

"Allison" was one of their Hentai characters and I find her innocent yet playful looks unique. I did a more decent version of Allison as a "gift art" for the website and had my artwork featured on their site for a short while.

Last check I'm surprise they are still around!! A real feat for a 11 year old site where many others have already closed down. For those curious about cutepet.org, it's a cartoon/anime porn site. Enter at your own risk.

"Allison" character is copyright of Studio Cute of cutepet.org.

The girl in BreadTalk outfit serving all the nice "buns"...hehe

I forgot when this was done, 2002 I think before I met my wife. Perhaps I was having a fetish for uniformed girls that time, cos I have no idea why I drew a BreadTalk girl. But I remembered that some thoughts of setting up a website full of Stereotypical girls in Singapore. Of course the website didn't make it.

The uniform is the old school BreadTalk uniform. I understand they've already changed their uniform to a different design.
