Character concepts

2011-04-17T09:01:00.000-07:00

One day my art director asked me to create a bunch of stylized characters based on those famous HK toys, and just for fun, because our 3D guys were busy at the moment, he asked me to paint a couple of them as if they're 3D..cool beans!!! Loved creating these guys...

2010-08-07T22:05:00.000-07:00

Haven't updated my blog for quite some time now, haven't been allowed to as a matter of fact, since most of the stuff I was working on haven't been launched yet.. But.. I'll be able to post them pretty soon. So come back to check for more updates within a couple of days..

Towering Inferno at Whampoa Drive

2009-01-27T10:13:00.000-08:00

Just came back from my Chinese New Year break, then as the taxi I was in approaching my apartment building, I saw a huge crowd gathering under my apartment building, and they're all looking at the opposite building. And when I looked at the direction they're all looking at, this is what I found. There were 2 fire trucks at the bottom of this building, and the fire was still blazing hot. I guess those firemen did a great job in containing the fire, coz when I reached my apartment and took these photos, the fire were already a fraction of how it was. Prayers to all the people who were affected.

August Man (Sept-Dec)

Something fun and simple

2008-08-14T00:16:00.000-07:00

Here's something a little different from what I usually do. Did a lot of collaging on this piece

Water Shrine

2008-08-14T00:13:00.001-07:00

Haven't done any environment concept paintings for quite a while now. It feels good to finally get to do this piece.

honeymooners

2008-07-29T09:12:00.000-07:00

I've become more and more interested in photography lately. Got myself a Nikon D60 right before my wedding. And experimented with the device during my honeymoon and haven't put the damn thing down ever since. Here are my amateurish attempt in photography.

Time Portal

Here's a tryout piece I did recently for a freelance gig.

Short Circuit

Another painting I finished recently about a boy who beat a group of gigantic technological marvel by using a squirt gun. Enjoy

The Daily Chase

2008-05-04T19:53:00.001-07:00

I entered this image to the cgsociety challenge.. didn't win anything of course, but it did get chosen to be published in Expose 6. It's about the age old cartoon tradition of cat chases mouse, or in this case mouse chases cat.

Wedding Series

2008-05-04T19:40:00.000-07:00

Wow, it's been a loooong time since I last updated my blog. Been really2 busy preparing for my wedding. And for my wedding, I decided to create a series of paintings chronicling the memorable events that happened throughout my 8 years relationship with my then girlfriend. So, here they are

Brain Bath

2007-09-12T07:15:00.000-07:00

The next few images are from the latest batch of the cards.

The Spoils - Wyrmfang Deathskull

2007-08-21T00:10:00.000-07:00

I can't really take any credit for this image beside the creature design. But the rest of the image was drawn by my buddy Chris de Joya. This guy is awesome. I think most people in the illustration world know him as "Snowfly"...

I guess this will be the last one for now. I have some new artist series paintings from the 3rd edition, but I won't be able to post those for maybe another month or maybe more depending on when the set will come out.

The Spoils - Writ of Reclamation

2007-08-21T00:06:00.000-07:00

Line art by me, although I think the cat was drawn by someone else. When we received the image back from the painter, the background was kinda flat and there was really no separation between the middle ground and the back ground, so I tweaked it. Gave it an atmospheric perspective and voila..(did I spell that right?)

The Spoils - Smear Campaign

2007-08-21T00:02:00.000-07:00

hahaha.. I think this image is really funny. I did the line art and I also tweaked the painting. The painting was originally quite dull although nicely painted, it just had some lighting issues.

The Spoils - Scorching Runicution

2007-08-21T00:00:00.000-07:00

What can happen to those people who sweat too much. Detail drawing by me, and painting by IFS(I'm quite sure of this one)

The Spoils - Schproingmajig

2007-08-20T23:45:00.000-07:00

Mmm.. schproingmajig. Try saying that very fast ten times. Line art by moi.

The Spoils - Quotidian Virtuoso

2007-08-20T23:41:00.000-07:00

I did the figure and designed the building. Originally I also designed the chest pieces, however the art director said that they looked too extreme. I originally made them took more organic, like they're made of skin with teeth and eyes and spikes and stuff. I thought it looked really cool. But we ended up with this one instead, which still look cool by the way. They were designed by Silvia.

The Spoils - Pugnacious Publicist

2007-08-20T23:37:00.000-07:00

I gotta say this is my favorite image out of the second edition. I did the line art. The painter did a very good job creating the mood for this image. Love it.

The Spoils - Panther Kaiser

2007-08-20T23:35:00.000-07:00

I believe I designed this character.. man i forgot. Well, anyway I did the detail drawing and Shawn Ye did the painting. Awesome.

The Spoils - Obsessive Compulsion

2007-08-20T23:33:00.000-07:00

Line art by me. haha.. love this image. Those goofy arcanists.. they're so... weird.

The Spoils - Martial Arts Master

2007-08-20T23:29:00.000-07:00

I did the characters, Silvia did the BG, and I believe for this one IFS did the painting.

The Spoils - Keen Strategem

2007-08-20T23:25:00.000-07:00

Line art by yours truly.

The Spoils - Hasty Sarcophyle

2007-08-20T23:20:00.000-07:00

Line art by me, characters by Silvia.

The Spoils - Guardforce Alpha Prime Elf

2007-08-20T19:46:00.000-07:00

I did the concept for this card, along with the characters. And I also did the line art. I dunno the original painter but when we first received the painting back it looked quite dull, then my friend Shawn Ye came to the rescue, he took the painting, tweaked it, and awesomized it. If you guys don't know who Shawn Ye is, check out his website shawnye.com. He loooves big cats.

The Spoils - Guardforce Morphmajig

2007-08-20T19:41:00.000-07:00

Line art by Henry Gunawan. Painter anonymous

The Spoils - Gang Leader

2007-08-20T19:37:00.000-07:00

I did the line art for this one. My friend Yun Ling helped with the far background.

The Spoils - Fool's Gold

2007-08-20T19:33:00.000-07:00

The line art for this image was done by Silvia and we outsource the painting. However, when we received the painting back, they turned up quite below our standard, so I ended up repainting the whole thing. I'm quite proud of the final result though.

The Spoils - Auction House

2007-08-20T19:30:00.000-07:00

Haha. This card created quite the controversy with the fans. I pretty much did all the line art for this one with some help from Silvia.

The Spoils - Anxious Oaf

2007-08-20T19:25:00.000-07:00

This is from the 2nd edition. I did the concept for the BG, and the line art for the big guy. The rest of the line art was done by my colleagues. We outsourced the paintings for the 2nd batch. So I wouldn't know who painted this. Sorry painters.

The Spoils - Ravenous Wolf

2007-08-20T19:21:00.000-07:00

As you'll probably realize later on that we like to do really intricate and detail stuff here at TGA. Here's another one from the 1st edition. I did the line art for this one, I dunno who did the painting. Naked guy's courtesy of Silvia Gunarso. Check out her blog at upierzy.wordpress.com. She has lots of really cool arts.

The Spoils - Quotidian Ejector

2007-08-20T19:19:00.000-07:00

Another one from the 1st edition. Steve Bentley did the line art, I did the painting.

The Spoils - Jackmove

2007-08-20T18:59:00.000-07:00

It's been a while since I last posted a new image. The past few months has been really straining for me physically and mentally. I've been wanting to share with the rest of the world what I've been doing for a living for the past year, I guess now's about the right time to do it. haha. A little intro about my work, I've been working in a Trading Card Company in Singapore called Tenacious Games Asia. I work as a concept illustrator/illustrator/line artist/painter. Not one card produced by our company is done by 1 guy besides the artist series. Usually, at least 2 people is working on a card. The first card I'd like to share with you is called "Jackmove". This was a first edition card. My friend Alvin made a basic 3D structure for the background then I did the line art. I believe another colleague of mine at the time Ken Foo did the 3 figures in the foreground. I also did the painting for this one.

Spoilers Combine

2007-06-30T13:16:00.000-07:00

Here are the cartoony version of the spoilers. These might also be the ones they're gonna use in the website.

Snapshots

2007-06-26T06:30:00.000-07:00

I found this old old polaroid camera at an antic store. The store owner told me it's a very unique camera. I didn't know what he meant by it. As it turns out, all the photos that come out of the camera come out looking like these.

Station

2007-06-21T20:09:00.000-07:00

Have been reather busy at the office lately. I did this concept a couple of weeks back, just realized I haven't uploaded it. Finished this one in a couple of hours. Haven't been practicing my quick concept sketches for months, feeling a little rusty already.

Abduction

2007-06-05T10:03:00.000-07:00

Alien Abduction + Sexy Milkmaid + Lingerie + Flying cow = Blockbuster Movie. Take that Michael Bay.

Cute Cutpurse

2007-06-05T10:00:00.001-07:00

Another artist series from the 2nd edition. This one made it into "image of the day" in ImagineFX website. In this piece, the most unusual suspect is actually the real perpetrator.

Horsemajig of the Apocalypse

2007-06-05T09:58:00.001-07:00

This was done for the second edition of the game.

Samuel Gristwalter

2007-06-05T09:56:00.000-07:00

Another one of the artist series done for the first batch of The Spoils TCG.

Baskbomb

2007-06-05T09:53:00.001-07:00

This is an illustration I did for The Spoils TCG. It's one of the artist series that I did for the first batch of the game. The behemoths being shot out of the cannons are called basks. They're these huge creatures filled with toxic waste that when you drop them too hard they will explode.

...

2007-06-05T09:51:00.001-07:00

This was an experiment piece where I finished everything in grey scale first and overlay the color afterwards. Works just fine.

The Journey

2007-06-05T09:48:00.001-07:00

This was a piece I did for a CGTalk Challenge. It's about an innocent little country mouse who decided to try his luck in the big city.

Character Concept 4

2007-06-05T09:46:00.001-07:00

Snowy Mountain Orc Creature Thingy Concept.

Character Concept 3

2007-06-05T09:44:00.001-07:00

Tried to do a more comic book approach for this design.

Character Concept 2

2007-06-05T09:43:00.000-07:00

Monster Design 2

Character Concept 1

2007-06-05T09:39:00.000-07:00

I realized that I've never really done any character design before this piece. I decided to make some monster designs. This was the 1st one.

3 Brothers

2007-06-05T09:37:00.001-07:00

A personal favorite. I really had a great time working on this piece.

Red

2007-06-05T09:35:00.000-07:00

This is the second of the series. That's me again in a wolf costume. :)

Alice

2007-06-05T09:31:00.001-07:00

Personal project. Done in oil + acrylic. The theme is fairy tale where all the female characters are famous actresses and the male characters are... me.

Asian Landscape

2007-06-05T09:29:00.001-07:00

I got inspired to do this piece after looking at a very beautiful photo of foggy mountains in china

Game Concept 5

2007-06-05T09:27:00.000-07:00

Fight Scene

Game Concept 4

City

2007-06-05T09:09:00.000-07:00

This was a concept for futuristic city that I did for my final semester at Art Center.

Anne Rice's Hell

2007-06-05T09:00:00.000-07:00

I love Anne Rice's novels. This piece was done around the time I was reading Memnoch the Devil. Awesome book. The book has some description of hell that I like, and so that's how this piece came to be. Done in photoshop.

Pagoda Hill

2007-06-05T08:54:00.000-07:00

I was trying to mimick the Samurai Jack style for this piece. Another piece done in acrylic.

Livingroom

2007-06-05T08:36:00.000-07:00

Another tribute piece to the same era. I totally love the flat, graphic, and distorted look of the background. Although, I believe this piece also got a little influence to the Cartoon Network style, especially all those Genndy Tartakovsky and Craig McCracken's cartoons.

Wild Wild West

2007-06-05T08:32:00.000-07:00

This is a tribute background piece to the great Chuck Jones era. Done in acrylic. Hope I do the art style justice.

Echo..o...o....o

2007-06-05T08:24:00.001-07:00

This was an acrylic piece I did for one of my school project. My teacher gave me a script and told me to pick some scenes to concept. This is a flashback scene of a boy getting lost in the middle of a Hawaiian jungle and found a cave opening which leads to subterranean magma chamber. Well.. it's an action flick.

Pretty faces + pretty designs

2007-06-05T07:19:00.000-07:00

Tried to do something new. Vector art is just too cool to not experiment with.

Shanghai Knights

2007-06-05T07:13:00.000-07:00

Another movie poster parody. Changed the background and the title.

The Matrix Rebalded

2007-06-05T07:09:00.001-07:00

When I was looking at the real poster, I can't help but think "That's a lot of foreheads!". So, I thought it would be a lot of fun to do a caricature of the whole poster. My.. my Hugo Weaving do have a large forehead

Mr. Williams

2007-06-05T07:02:00.000-07:00

There's really no comment for this piece except that I've always admired the comedian and have always wanted to make a caricature of him. Also, I'm open for comission for those who are interested. :)

Mr. Freeman

2007-06-05T06:58:00.000-07:00

This one was done right after he won the oscar(obviously). Found this photo in a magazine and right then and there I can see it in my mind what his face would look like as a caricature. Good thing I had my laptop at hand.

JLH

2007-06-05T06:49:00.000-07:00

After I finished school, I decided to sharpen my digital painting skill. I started doing lots of caricatures, concept illustrations, and environment pieces. If I remember correctly, this was one of the first caricatures I did in Photoshop.

Mr. Pitt

2007-06-05T06:42:00.000-07:00

One of my favorite caricatures. Finished in oil. I just love doing caricatures.

Le Tigre

2007-06-05T06:37:00.000-07:00

This was also one of my first series of caricatures that I did for my school project. Done in oil also. Totally loved the movie.

Mr. Ford

2007-06-05T06:23:00.001-07:00

This was one of the first caricatures I did. This was done in oil. This painting holds one of the sweetest memories in my school years, because during my grad show at Art Center, Syd Mead stopped at my portfolio showcase and started reminiscing about the time when he was working on Blade Runner. Sweet.
