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.

Ling - Casual (penciled)

The final penciled version

Pencil & shade over the blue

Rough outline sketch in blue

The penciled version of Ling in casual wear. Seems like I have been inking lesser and lesser nowadays... perhaps it is because I prefer the subtle feel of the pencil strokes more than the ink's. As usual she is having her signature weapon - the razor blade, even in casual wear! :D

The color version will be coming up next!

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. :)

Ling - Portrait: IPS 02
Friday, February 20, 2009

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. :(

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.
