digital painting

As a kid, I was very absorbed in playing arcade games, especially Street Fighter. Never thought the SF franchise has been continuing to grow and becoming more and more interesting in game playing and design.

hoping to use SF characters to develop some interesting shorts just for experimental purposes.

Painting in photoshop

I came across some great digital paintings done by a chinese artist Zhang Lu who currently is a concept artist at Massive Black Shanghai. (http://conceptart.org/forums/showthread.php?t=124532)

I really like his way of painting, the softness and the vivid glows in his paintings makes me want to paint the whole day. So as a fun exercise , I picked up a cintiq pen once again, and prepped myself to painting mode. I used  one of his pictures as reference and did my own rendition of the portrait.

Adding another digital painting, now slowly I'm headed towards colors~

Trip sketch June

Back to walk about sketch, hoping to continue with this exercise of walking around Singapore and finding interesting situations or compositions that may help future project developments.

12 June 2011, around Takashimaya

Tried the new marker pens to add in some color flavor, they seem to bleed through the pages. I still need to get a hang of them.

Had a short trip to Thailand

tried to get some sketches going on the trip.....

MUDBox Sculpturing take on Bruce Lee

Originally created a simple head model in Maya and smoothed it out. Then exported the model to MUDBox to begin the sculpting.

 As the sculpting progressed, and the polygon counts increased to allow detailed sculpting and stretching to get to the caricature feel of my model.

First 3D modeling take~

First ever Maya sculptured head of myself

Built the foundation with nurbs and later converted to polys.
