More Sketches from Tampin & Melaka

Artist on the street...




Tada! This is the Finished Sketch.



It took me 20 mins to complete this..the same time it took an enthused kid to get completely bored..lol


Kids are the trickiest to draw because they're almost never still.
These are Shirley's little cousin brother & sister.

Paintings @ home

Two of my paintings are currently residing in a beautiful house located in Damansara Lagenda. :)
I normally loathe departing with my paintings (seeing how I feel I’ve put a part of me into it!). But in this case, I’m very pleased that my fatty Mona Lisa has found a good home!



It was also touching to see the baby daughter of my client reaching out affectionately for the Mickey Mouse painting I did for her baby room. Lol..

Nightlings

I’ve always wanted to do a digital comic with special effects, but it took Ixtive Media Sdn Bhd to light the fire and get the whole project started. Here’s how it happened…

Jonathan, the big kahuna of Ixtive Media saw the stuff I did for Scary Ever After and asked me if I would draw a 9page monthly comic for their online magazine. I said “yes” enthusiastically! I would write and illustrate the comic and Jonathan’s design team would animate my drawings via Flash. Combined with a cool background music entitled “Tricks” sung by Liang, the finished product is awesome! It is also the first digital comic of it’s kind in Malaysia!

The Launch of ScaryEverAfter on Halloween!




In late February 2007, my brother had an idea.

“Why not publish your comics online?” said James and proceeded to elaborate on his grand scheme. We talked about the types of comics we wanted to do. He suggested we do manga. “What about scary stories?” I said. I’ve always wanted to tell dark stories and draw them like the classic horror comics I grew up with, like ’Unexpected’, ’House of Secrets’ and ‘Tales from the Crypt”.

We agreed. I would write/draw the comics and design the website; James would handle the online publishing and IT side of things.

A deadline was set for the middle of the year that we would launch the site. I went away and started drawing. Somewhere along the way we were both caught up in our daytime busy schedules that we lost sight of our focus. It had seemed that the launch day would never come.

Fast forward to Halloween’s Eve. Who would have thought? We finished it in time for a Halloween Launch. And as I stare out my window into the cool October night I can’t help but think if we were being ‘guided’.

To all true comic fans out there tonight…have a happy trick or treat!

Weekend at Tampin!

This is my favorite spot to hang out whenever I’m at Tampin!
hehe…there’s something very tranquil & magical about this place!



Alone with my sketchbook atop the wooden balcony…I can sketch away for hours! ;)


The finished drawing!


While drawing, I noticed something swimming in the river…I quickly grabbed my camera & took this pic!

It’s not a crocodile…just a very huge lizard… cool!!!

Me doing a quick sketch of Jacob...

Cool or not? ^_^
