Dismantle

I dreamed up this story when I was imagining seriously what I would do if I developed a super power. And I don't just mean a healing factor or shooting laser blasts from my hands. I mean a SERIOUSLY KICK ASS super power. It would be an awesome attempt to make the world a better place...

Youth Olympic Games Programme illustrations (Opening & Closing Ceremonies)


Was an amazing (and stressful!) project to work on. Understandably, there was a lot of red tape involved that prevented me from including this in my blog earlier. But hopefully that has passed with time. Worked so damn hard on these illustrations heh!


Much appreciation goes to everyone who helped out in facilitating my requirements for this project, especially Ivan Heng who directed the opening and closing ceremonies, who understood my vision and allowed me almost free reign and creativity. :D

The Marq Christmas Card Illustration


A new thing I'm trying out - watercolour look using photoshop. This is an illustration of the client's property and the nearby malls for their Christmas card.

OIC versus Animax - Fullmetal Alchemist


About time I updated new stuff :) The kind folks at OIC and Animax came together to kick up a project involving OIC illustrators doing interpretations of certain animes in the form of illustrations and i was one of the participating artists. I got assigned Fullmetal Alchemist (wonderful choice!) and here's my entry.

White Frames Submissions x 2






OIC had a casual mini art show at MAAD (Red Dot Museum) over the weekend and i contributed 4 b/w pencilled drawings to the show. Here are 2 of them in color.

First one is titled "Ghost Story" - I wanted to draw something with soldiers and skulls. I decided it seemed like a good idea for a military ghost story premise considering the stories I was told while doing my own National Service heh.
Will update with the rest of the illustrations later on!

Second one is "Dance in the Dark" - Nothing to the concept really. I was just really pumped from my last figure drawing session and wanted to do an imagined figure drawing piece showing an elegant dancer captured in various poses.I sketched a rough of the layout and added the blindfold as an afterthought. I had an idea that it would be beautiful to portray a dancer so confident with her skill and so familiar with her body that she could dance blind. That, and I have a penchant for using movie and song related titles :p

Figure Drawing @ Apsara Asia




More Figure Drawing sketches. Had a field day as I had my drawing mode on pretty early with no warm up needed :) I have added tones this time (via photoshop) to be more in line with the style I am currently adopting. I really love drawing hands! It's not that I am particularly good at them, but I love the challenge! Still need to loosen up more though - I'm trying to merge my past habit of tightly controlled lines with raw messier lines (like my previous post). "Controlled Chaos" :p

The Gasman


Random character sketch. I love drawing gas-mask headgear :) Also trying out these texture brushes I downloaded.

The Magician rebels





Continuing a piece from my previous post and revamping the style to a sketchier and hopefully more appropriate version.

EDIT: Added a colored version. Was an easy palette to handle luckily!

PT 0902 Tee Shirt Design


A class tee-shirt design for a friend of mine who's studying physiotherapy. No prizes for guessing the inspiration behind the concept heh.

Storm Simbul


A work in progress and also a gift for a friend - portrait of his Guild Wars character. You cannot imagine how difficult it is to make such a pose believable and anatomically-correct! :p Will update more on this post as it progresses.
