| Mecha Silhouettes |
| Wednesday, March 25, 2009 |
Rough silhouette sketches of the mechas in LEGNA:LING.
I will add in the details and improve on the design accordingly when I start working on each of them. The only one with details added is the M19-Phoenix as seen previously. The basic design for each of them are inspired by creatures/things etc around us. Make a guess which is which. :D
By the way, they are not to scale with each other. The Phoenix and the tank are scaled to real-world machines... but as for the others, I will have a human figure beside it to indicate it's scale when I work on them individually, later. More to come ya!Labels: concept art, JPF, LEGNA:Ling, M19, Mecha |

| M-19 Phoenix |
| Friday, March 20, 2009 |
An aged fighter of the RAF, going to be phased out soon.
A quick doodle & rendering which consist of only gray-scale with a bit of color... this is by no means the actual color of the fighter jet.
The M19 Phoenix was born from a mixture concept of a swan, a cobra and the F16 Falcon fighter jet. I believe it is easy to tell which part of the fighter belongs to which concept ya. : )

| Ling in casual wear |
| Thursday, March 12, 2009 |
The color version of Ling in casual wear. I originally designed her low-rise pants to be straight-cut, but somehow it is a bit tight now. :P
PS, There is engraving on every razor blade of hers.

  Boot's design
Sketches and color reference for Ling's casual wear.
I'm kinda into Junya Watanabe(a Japanese fashion designer) at the moment, so trying out some fashion designing too... but only visually. lol
I have always been interested in fashion designing but of course not to the extent of producing it in real life, as I am not a fashion designer. So ya... putting my ideas in digital format or on paper are the only things I can do for my level of fashion designing. :)
I have a thing for gradient when it comes to clothing, and because her Phantom Suit has a red gradient on the chest area, that is why I designed her casual wear to have red gradients too.
The low-rise straight pants showing off the bikini is a Japanese fashion trend, but I'm not sure if it is still in trend now.
The design of the boots is modified from Junya Watanabe's. Mine is the high heel version, with the boots' collar being able to flip up & clipped to become high-cut boots. I designed it this way so that it is versatile enough to match any dressing. :)

| Ling - Portrait (color version) 2 |
| Friday, February 27, 2009 |
Did 2 different versions of the background to set the correct feel & mood for Ling.
The added 'metal texture & cut marks' is to relate to her usage of razor blades as weapons.

| Ling - Portrait (color version) |
| Wednesday, February 25, 2009 |
Finally finished! The color version of Ling's portrait or bust, as some might prefer to call it.
Took quite a while designing the 7 symbols on the logo. They may appear not proportionally placed, because it has been rotated so that a specific symbol is now at the 12 o'clock position. Yes, its placement is related to Ling but I won't spoil it just yet. The symbol which is now in between the 1-2 o'clock position, is the symbol originally at the 12 o'clock position. I will rotate them and place a certain symbol at the 12 o'clock position when the character is related or belong to that symbol.
So... are you wondering what exactly are those symbols? Hehehe Stay tuned then... ermm... but they won't be revealed that soon, as I have quite a lot of other artworks to be done.
Anyway, just a bit of spoiler... LEGNA: Ling will only involved 2 of the 7 symbols.
There is also a 1280x1024 wallpaper version of this artwork in this link. Go grab it if you like it. :)

The update for the day. Omg... I'm too slow, really need to speed up!
Nope... It has nothing to do with not having a Wacom tablet. Perhaps I still haven't get the hang of it after the 6 years lag. :(Labels: concept art, JPF, LEGNA:Ling, Ling |

| Ling: cel-shaded |
| Sunday, February 01, 2009 |
An action pose of Ling throwing razor blades from the blades' magazines on her thighs. I'm practicing on tonal perception hence used cel-shading.
This piece is supposed to be a collaboration with my friend Sandara. I draw the lineart and she colors it but she is a very busy person, so hopefully she will get it done one day. I believe a lot of people will love to see her version of my character.
Gonna do a few more pieces of Ling before moving to other characters. I'm also gonna do a write up on her ability soon.Labels: JPF, LEGNA:Ling, Ling |

| The Maid |
| Tuesday, August 26, 2008 |
 click to enlarge for the details
Finally it is finished! Very satisfying after completing it. It was supposed to be just a practice and warming up piece for my digital painting skills... yet it took so long. zzz... I can't use the freelances I did in between as an excuse, can I? XD
The Maid is based on a photograph of a doll from Dream of Doll, it can be seen here [link].
I will be putting this piece up for sale in my deviantART. Those who are interested can go and take a look here [link]. Hehe.. kinda just for the fun of it, not thinking of earning big bucks with it though.
Next up is the project that I have been longing to do since a few months ago, it will be my standard portfolio. So off to the planning and brainstorming of it. Till then...
P.S
This was done using the mouse... can someone sponsor me a wacom tablet? sob... hehee

 minor details added
 final version
I was at the range the week before and was too tired to do anything after reaching home each day, so updates are slow again.
From this week, I will be doing detailing and final touches to all the present portions before moving on to finish the other undone portions. There are still a lot to do for this piece, the details alone are killers! Well... hope to finish this piece soon, so that I can finally start on my concept project. Can't wait yo!

An IPS(In Progress Shot) of my current work, it shows the progress from the past 2 days.
This is based on a picture of a beautiful Doll in a maid uniform which I found some days ago, so I thought of using it for my coloring practice. I will post the original picture with my Illustration once I have finish it.
This was done using the mouse... tedious. Any kind soul to donate me a drawing tablet? ;P
