Black Madonna

I wanted to try out something different but i'm not sure if i like it. It's kind of like a digital collage. The hardest part is the linework because i have naturally shaky hands :S

I've been doing figure drawing studies lately, it's difficult and intimidating, i feel like the book is judging me. Maybe that's why I seek comfort in drawing unproportional weird bodies, kind of like this one. it's fun and liberating. :D That doesn't mean i give up on figure drawing, though. Love and hate thing.

I'll probably be giving this to my mom. any comments? crits? are the colors all over the place?

IF: Savour

At the rate he's chewing, they will surely lose.. Is it wrong though, to savour every bite? :D

For those unfamiliar with what they're doing, apple eating contest is one of the common party games in my country. You hang up apples and you're not supposed to touch 'em while eating. First team to finish, wins! :D

I need to learn how to unify my images..and colors, and anatomy.. oh..so much more to study.

kun and chan

finished! this will be for our wedding site which we're currently doing :) hopefully it'll be done soon!

kun and chan

 this is my fave work so far :D

I also saved wips to show my very straight forward process. in step 3, i used screen mode to give me an easier way to pick colors for the highlights.

did you get my message?

i got some neat paper textures and i couldn't help myself. something simple/shallow :D jason mraz's "did you get my message" kept playing on my head the entire time i was doing this.

IF: Spent

when the oceans are spent, the whales and fishes won't have anywhere else to swim. that's all the home they have.

IF: beneath

the moon stays still as the world moves beneath her

---

this is so unfinished.. :O i have no idea what to do with the dress. suggestions anyone? in the beginning i was planning for this to be more graphic and textured but i guess i still can't escape this style.  i don't enjoy these colors anymore but i hope i can get myself to polish it, so um.. critics/suggestions please? :)

IF: Old Fashioned

 "Mommy is so old fashioned.  Why does she make me wear the same dress like her?  I don't even like polka dots.."

Finished it early! Yay! Done with photoshop and intuos.

B for Bee and Balloon and Big hair?

Dug this one out from my WIP folder, I almost forgot about this one.  Just something fun to draw and I still had cutesy hangover from watching Babies! It was really cute, I love Bayar!

Done in Photoshop with Intuos.

IF: Proverb (and Dessert!)

"To be truly happy and contented, you must let go of what it means to be happy or content."
(Confucius)

 Okay, I'm late for IF again, this is supposedly for dessert.  Good thing Google knows a lot of proverbs! This is basically the summary of my one month's worth of diet -- turning my back on the yummy stuff.  But at least I'm losing weight and eating healthy, so it's not that bad. (right?)  Happiness is not in a big bowl of banana split :D

"Must fit in wedding gown"  - my proverb :D


Oooh and i have a new intuos 4! woohoo! I named him klimt after Klimt. :D

three little ninjas

One day three little ninjas made of felt cloth came up to me and told me that if i were to create a website, they'd be guarding it and taking care of it with every fiber and zipper they had (they swore). I asked them, why the hell they'd do that? And this mustached ninja started telling a long story, something about their destiny blah blah.. So what the heck, I agreed, because they were cute and I needed a website. And now I'm still up because they're forcing me to start brainstorming and designing my site already. Darn persistent ninjas..
