Hong Meilin Year of Dragon

Yes I know, its already september...kinda too late to announce year of dragon..lol, but at least its still 2012. But to be fair, I did sketch this up in January, I just didnt post the sketch up anywhere XP.

I think I found my style I want to keep when I work on my future piece.

I feel like this picture is dark..on a mac screen, but on a windows screen it looks fine, I guess that makes sense cuz my cintiq is connected to a pc and its kinda like a regular monitor..wish i could figure out a way to configure the color settings to be the same as a mac screen.

Over all I really like how this picture turned out, definitely took a while to cover all the area's but it looks nice. Now its time to work on them commish's.

Preview of next piece!

Mosaic piece of my next work. if you squint your eyes you can see the image..jk

Today I worked on this all day, getting all line art/base color/and half of first stage of shading done...Hopefully i can finish it up tomorrow.

Victorique de Blois Process

Rough Sketch on paper (Scan 300dpi)

Victorique de Blois

Baaah! Finally finished...after about 3days or so... Im never going to do backgrounds again!! (at least for a while) lol

So this piece/idea is actually kinda old ...I did a sketch of this in... January of 2011, so a little more than a year and a half. But I really liked how the sketch turned out so I wanted to test out my skills.

Still continuing with the new technique I used for the previous Miku piece. Kinda digging the style, just the downside to this techinque is that it TAKES FOR EVER!!!

Anyhow this is Victorique from the light novel/Anime series Gosick...the thing is, I made her look at least 5 years older than she actually looks like, i realized I made her hair more sharp than it should be, and her facial structure should of been more shorter to give the little child appearance. I still have lots to learn..haha

Environment Batch 2

 

My second batch for environment speed paint. 

Brain fart random requests from Fb Friends...

"A skunk telling a raccoon digging through a garbage can that he stinks."

A great friend of mines made an animation called "No Time 2 Lose" http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/375176

This is his Character Leopold, just an upgraded concept design.

Sad milk carton on a pile of crayons....cute

My friend riding a giant penguin into battle...since he's in japan and he's into kabuki like painting, just gave him that facial painting which adds a nice battle style. 

Part of the Environment Batch 2, request for underwater sunset...not sure how that looks like but this is how i envisioned it...

Updates...since i havent done any for a while...

Well well, its been too long... I havent updated anything since the avengers movie... haha

I feel like im one those people who cant maintain blogs...dont have anything to show or too lazy to update...

Anyhow, The images here are some of the things i've been up to for the past few months, pretty much all school things, except for the few at the end, which are summer vacation free time drawings.


So the first bunch of images of Avengers are from my Print making class, they gave us the freedom to make whatever we wanted so, being influenced by the amazing Avengers movie, I chose to some prints. I like how they turned out, except for some of the Captain America ones (funny thing is CA was the most popular during critique) which i did kind of in a hurry...I really like how the last Iron man one came out.

 

These are Needle felted figurines for my soft sculpture class, the two figure's are about 8inch tall and the cat is like 2inch. But they were alot of fun to make, even though it was super time consuming...it probably took me a whole day to make both of them. They are also holding pokeballs, which are side projects for me, pretty much something to sell at Sakuracon.

Summer quarter was actually really enjoyable and I got awesome grades too, so I'm quite satisfied.

 

Yup Time line on Facebook...they forced everyone to get one now...so I has one too..;__; 

After watching the FZD School of design youtube video's I've been wanting to make environment paintings. These are the first batch of speed paintings, they took about 30-40min each.

The FZD school youtube page is soo inspiring and super helpful, i learned so much through watching the videos they offer.

Hopefully with more practice, I'll be able to create amazing environment for things...like videogames! XD

This piece just came out of no where, just had the image of the hulk and yotsuba together...completely random but its kinda cute. haha. Speed painting took about 30min.

You can also find dambo in the background...still thinking if i should touch it up and make it into an actual finished product.

And this is my recent needle felted piece, its

NYANKO SENSEI!

 from Natsume Yuujin chou. it was fund making him.






So thats about it for updates I guess XD

Dont know when the next time i'll update this blog, but if your still following me, hopefully you can bare with the lack of updates~!
