Fruits of our labour…

I made this graphic(s) for cartoondollemporium over a period of a few weeks earlier this year, and this week it is live thanks to the hard work of the programmers! I am so damn happy, cos it was a lot of work if you can’t tell LOL!

Original art was done in flash, and the animater store owners of each store is done by other talented artists :) You gotta sign up (it’s free!) to view this, and the stores closer up ^^

In the mall, you can buy stuff for your avatar, I contributed to some of it too! :3 Gotta work on the boys stuff sometime (oops)! I am most proud of the bakery items, they make me hungry when I look through them ^^; Okay time for lunch… more later!

Original characters

I was often asked “Who are you drawing?” whenever I draw a person (Mostly girls), most of them are nameless characters except for a few… I quickly sketched this doodle out, and coloured roughly on photoshop. ^^

BBlue is probably one of the first characters I ever created (and actually remembered) for an online chatting site. She’s probably eternally 19 years old, gentle and smart, very girly but a bit stubborn.

Paw is boisterous and silly, loud and sometimes a bit annoying. She’s the most tomboyish of the lot. Her hair was sometimes reddish rather than dark blue :) I think I draw her the most.

Red is a character I almost scratched, but I do like her mature and curvy design. She has a mysterious occupation (a spy maybe?) And is quite athletic despite her feminine look.

Ahmin is probably the most exposed and long running original character I have created so far. In fact I cannot even remember which year I created her o_o; but it is a long time ago ^^;
The funny thing was she was initially supposed to be a male character but I asked for her to be a tomboy instead since girls are cuter and have more fun with fashion (and they accepted the idea). You may still see her reporting on anime/manga/comics related news about once a week on the Chinese Daily paper Lianhe Zaobao in Singapore.

Of course there’s also the character, May, whom I created as the cover girl of my first book, from Puppy with Love. I hope to some day revive her if I settle down on a good storyline :)

Hmmmm I put a poll on the side of the blog for this entry, not sure if it’s working, sooooo if it’s working for you…. which girl you like most? *puppy dog eyes* LOL

Old comic art revisited

So I been quite busy with work, but I had been meaning to put some older work up tho (Like REALLY old stuff). Pardon the quality of my old art ^^; ), and I also wanted to test out some flash related coding ^^; I hope it works without breaking anyone’s internet :P

This little story was from one of the Manga Doomei publications (kinda like a group collaboration) and the story happened to be one of my personal favourite (other than that my artwork is really not up to standard LOL) I should be putting this file into gallery later on :)

Question: ^^; Should I put comics on a flash template?
Anyone cannot see anything under this sentence?

Spring is love

Wow 2 posts today LOL

Spring = critters in parks XD
See more on tumblr entry ^^

Quick sketch of a memory

One of my husband’s favorite past time is to reorganize and optimize our living/working space(s). That was what we did yesterday on a grey and rainy afternoon (after bringing some stuff to recycle and donate). So this was my sewing corner, the “before” state — forgot to take a photo before moving things around LOL so did a quick doodle.

Curious to see the current look? It is on tumblr :)

Happy Mother's Day!

So what was I soooooo busy with this week? A mother’s day related flash doll card game for cartoondollemporium, I take no credit for the coding (done by the programmers in the team :)). Coming up with ideas, drawing, making change after change was very time consuming ^^; Haven’t had this little sleep for a long time XP! Really wanted to draw something else for puppy52.com but now I’m kinda burn out for ideas, so don’t mind this screen capture from the game ;)

However I would like to share a fuzzy childhood memory I had when I was probably less than 5 years old, I think we were told to draw a mother’s day card, and for some reason I did not know how to write “Mama” (in mandarin) properly, I ended up writing “horse horse”(In the chinese character, the “Ma” character in Mother (Mama), has an extra part which means “woman”) instead ^^;;;;;; remember it cracked my mom up :P

And my mom was a hottie in her younger days :P LOL

On a slightly non related note, one of the flash game — Runway Challenge, where I was involved in with a lot of the graphics was also out a little while back. This game kept me really busy for a long time as well, but the time crunch I did not feel as much as the mother’s day game ^^;

I created most of the graphics — Models, clothing, backgrounds, some buttons, and there was an animator involved with things like the model walking down the runway (poor guy had to animate all the clothing being animated :O), and all the coding is done by a flash programmer.

Brief information about the game: you can choose to model, judge or just watch the game. I guess due to that there’s only 2 spots for models, that selection almost always full ^^;
Being a model allows you to dress up with 2 rooms of clothing selection in a time limit, walk down the runway, and being a Judge, you see the models dress up, walk the runway and you get to give points, Watch will allow you to watch the game without having to take part in the dressing up or judging :) We’re probably going to add more features to the game in future, so I’ll probably blog about it when that happens :D

Curious? The direct link to the game is here, but remember, you need to sign up for a profile (free) to view/play with it! Also there’s music and sound effects, so you may wish to turn down the volume if you try to play late at night ^^;

Ranka quick sketch

Watched Macross Frontier with hubs and decided okay gonna sketch Ranka Lee, I don’t super like her but I thought her hair style is kinda unique in a funny way… anyone think they look like floppy ears?

Anyhows here is the super (duper) quick sketch, done in 10-15 minutes ^^;
Not sure if I am gonna colour her tho, but if I am to do that, definitely not this week, too busy :P

On a totally random note, Meowmeow got the corporate cuddling punishment for being naughty :P (tumblred)

Pin up Mirai

I’m awfully busy this couple weeks (have a deadline before mother’s day (ack!)), so thought to upload some older art ^^; Well this “other version” — created in February, is somewhat a slightly different version of the other one I had uploaded a while back (where her expression is more confused?)

Click here or on the image below to get to the super huge version ;)

If you want to see her without the bikini (yes you didn’t read me wrong) check out dannychoo.com ;P Okay, back to work ;_;

Lady Emerald – gift painting

As some of you may know, I am pretty into of dolls, namely a kind called blythes, some people may not like them or find them creepy, which I can understand (since the first time I came across them it wasn’t a “love at first sight”) thing either :P And by the way puppy52doll.com is unfortunately a little neglected these days as I am really able to sew very much :( I miss sewing and messing with my dolls (wah!)

Anyways I had been so busy that this piece of water olour was the only thing I got to finish up as I needed to meet a dateline to send it out (oops) it is a portrait — in my drawing style, of a world travelling blythe doll ^^

I think it turned out okay?

Anyways this weekend had been rather busy, we had a garage sale at our old place
More details tumblred XD
