Run in the Morning Sun

Hello!

10 Frames looped animation test I did yesterday during my stay in a studio in Shoreditch, to explore tools I never used before. I took an old Character Concept and animated it..

I am quiet impressed on how much 2.5D tools have progressed.


Right click on Play button and select "Turn Loop ON"


Enjoy!

A Life of Grim

Long time no see..

Have been busy doing various projects, ranging from animation to illustration.

Here is one unused concept for a short's title design..

Enjoy dying still.

Alienoglyph Family Portrait

Hello-hello..

A last minute painting for Gnomon Monthly Challenge August 2012: Alien Family Portrait.

Quote:

Royal family and their pet, in royal noble poses depicting the name of the family in alienoglyph. 
Taken in a photo studio with holographic background.

But thinking of it now, it is rather cooler if the hologram can be materialized anywhere using the camera technology they have, not only limited in the studio.

Portable holographic landscape.. Hm.. Interesting.


Anyway, the making of..

Gonna continue watching tutorials now.


Enjoy dying still..

Faith

Salutations!

This was drawn as an entry for Gnomon Monthly Challenge July 2012: Sky Fortress.

My concept was:

Militias from myriad of kingdoms joined in a war against a mysterious enemy who has mastered Alchemy and formed what seems to be an insurmountable foe: A fluctuating sky fortress, that combines the power of fire, earth, metal, stone and wood elements utilized as power source, defense, and weaponry.

The making of..

Stay still to enjoy dying..

Under The Blue Blue Sky

Currently retouching my graduation three minutes animation, and just done this month's Gnomon Image Challenge.

This one is actually for March 2012 Image Challenge, the theme was "Dreamscape".

My concept was:

Two miners inside a deep cave discover an ancient but advance civilization that, for some reason, recreates and lives under an artificial blue sky projected into the stalactites.

Elixir of the Full Moon

An entry made for the IndoCG Challenge #15 : Redesign Childhood Character, currently polling in Voting ICG Challenge #15.

Backstory:

Gargamel is frustrated by his failures. Unable to achieve his goal, he made an elixir which transforms the Smurfs into blood thirsty tree-like beings on full moon, planning on consuming the Smurf society from the inside; but it began to grow out of control by spreading brutality. Johan and Peewit are appointed by the King to solve the affair strategically, with vain results.. 

“Johan et Pirlouit” and “Les Schtroumpfs” originally created by Peyo.

Final version without the title, and black/white one..











Little bit detailed 'Making of ' ..

Dying still enjoyable..

Stormy Weather

Hello, this one was originally an entry for dA Cute Monster Contest. The concept is actually a Kandang Ayam (Cock/Hen Cage); and here is the description from the dA page:

A rattan cage-like monster that protects a bird nest from the storm, going deep into the forest finding a way through tree branches with its tentacles. 9 colours used, with kind of sketchy style to differentiate with other entries.

Below are the final, concept and black/white version. Another illustration should be coming soon, meanwhile enjoy dying..
