A day in… snow cat
Today on my way out to get mail I saw a couple kids playing in the snow, like 1 foot deep kinda snow ^^; After I started walking back home I couldn’t resist the temptation anymore….. and the result is….
Nyaaaa!
BBlue with Pie ^O^
It’s snowing and snowing and snowing ^^; So this morning I stayed in bed and doodled with Sai and my bamboo tablet ^^; background and text done in photoshop – just because it’s faster to do it in photoshop lol!
Hope you like? I want to colour this but I actually need to get ready to go out (brrrrrrr) ^^;
photo comic strip ^^
This morning, I was chatting with an old friend, Rex from furryfish (they specialise in flash animation, graphic and web design) back in Singapore. And he brought up a dog meets hydrant idea when he saw one of my recent photos lol!
I must admit it is not the most unique idea, I mean… what else can happen when a dog meets hydrant?
But do click here or on the image below to see the full version with a special message ;P!
Fan art of Light commission and blood donation attempt
It’s been a LONG day but I thought okay I should do an update with actually an artwork before I hit the sack ^^; So Z kindly commissioned me to do a Light Yagami Fan art in Nendoriod/SD form ^^ (for a non commercial personal use). Thanks again Z for your kind support!
It was fun doing this piece and I am very glad you’re okay with me showcasing it (partially, cos Z gets the full view lol) :)
Usually with commission work, cost varies with amount of details, size and what it is use for etc :3 I don’t always show case every single piece of commission I do, partly due to privacy of the clients and also I tend to showcase what I’m more likely prefer to draw. I hope it does not look like I only draw anime style, I draw other style/stuff too but I preferred to be commissioned on more anime-ish style I guess! :) With my work related stuff usually I will double check with clients (Example Danny and CDE) before I post stuff here.
Why was today such a long day? I went to donate blood with the hubs, it is kinda my 2nd attempt to donate blood, first time I went with a friend (who has since relocated to USA) and my blood iron was barely enough, so I couldn’t donate. This time I actually got to the getting my blood drawn stage but I started feeling weird, so the nurses stopped the process ^^; Well hopefully better luck next time :P Hubs managed to donate successfully but he’s now so tired he went to bed early. (good boy) :P
Evening in Vancouver
Hope you peeps don’t mind photo dumps (as Mimi likes to call it) lol! I know someone mentioned that it’s slow loading, I apologise for that :P Hopefully will be able to fix it in future ^^;
There are just times when I feel that my sketches are kinda blah due to drawing when I feel tired, so I rather not post those. This time I’ll share some photos of my hubs’ company party which we attended last nite :) As the party went on, it started snowing O_O!
A day in Richmond 2
Before I start on my actual post, I want to thank Meimi132 for showing us her Tare-DC teeshirt and plugging my website on hers and on dannychoo.com :D Thanks so so much, glad you like the tee-shirt ^O^! Also thanks Daemonseed for posting pix of his hoodie as a news item too ^^!
Hmmm I haven’t been drawing stuff decent to share this week (ack!) So hope you don’t mind a 2nd installment of “A day in Richmond” before I hit the sack today ^^;
A day in Richmond
It had been a busy weekend! o_o;/
Finally have a little time to resize some photos and do little captions for the new segment in this blog :)
Most of this set of photos was taken last week, during the one day when I go help at my friend’s shop in the mall.
It happened to turn out to be a fine day (which I’m not complaining at all). Usually in Winter it’s very cold, cloudy and rainy and a lot less daylight, from what I remember of previous few years I lived here. But last week on that day it was even a little warm, when the sun was out for a few hours, which was why I am able to share pictures like his, since I do not have to hold on to my umbrella, bag and fiddle with the camera all at once.
Art on Cards :)
Yesterday was at da shop again, did some hand drawn cards as I carelessly did not order enough cards to send out! (doh!) But the people who’re getting the original version, I hope they like it cos I think they turned out better than I expected :D
I managed to take a picture before I seal and pack the hand drawn cards so here’s a lookie! :3 I used my trusty pilot drawing pen (size 0.3) and copic markers to draw and colour them since I don’t have access to my computer/printer at the shop ^^;/ Background for this little collage below is added in photoshop at home tho ^^;/
Top left, Uchi xmas version ^^/, cupcake (For a birthday card)
Bottom left, white xmas bear in xmas socks and SD santa girl ^^
I may recolour Uchi in computer later on (took a picture of the ink art before I coloured with markers) ^^
And oh yesterday before I left for the shop, was informed that zazzle had featured a card template I recently made under Today’s best of December 4th!
Mirai sukumizu commission
I’m a big fan of dannychoo.com‘s 2 adorable mascots and I am trilled to be able to work with Danny to create some custom outfits for Mirai and Haruka :D. I guess the main challenge is to as seamlessly create the outfits in a style which match as closely and naturally to Azami Yuko sensei’s style.
I used a combination of Sai and a little bit of photoshop to create the outfits. And oh Dolphin san makes a special appearance by special request…
So which do you like better? White? Or Blue? Where’s the white sukumizu(the swimsuit) you say? You’ll be able to find Mirai in the white version on dannychoo.com ;D (link inserted)
