Per Clint's request & Astroboy~





I finished this set of Magic cards while in Prague. To be honest, i am not happy with them. :( I wish i could incorporate my own style within the Magic universe more successfully. I will try harder in the next set.



In the other news: "Astroboy" was up to a not so flying start in the US. I watched it with my little sis, who turned 12 on the day it premiered in China. She LOVED it. I told her about the bad reviews and horrible box offices, and they didn't change a thing: She still LOVES it.
Which is all that really matters to me. :)

Inks~




Out shopping for Linseed oil, came back with a bunch of chinese brushes and inks. :D Figure it might be fun to just sketch for a day. The results are frustrating(again), but like everyone who works usually in Digital: Gotta love the textures!!

Paint paint paint.... or Stop?!

Sigh.... is it me, or do my oil paintings look best when they are just the very first draft...? i keep thinking the first photo is the best part of what i painted today:



what it looks like now:



and the wip from the day before yesterday, before the dark field was painted:



i am having a lot of fun, but i think maybe i paint too fast and didn't plan enough for it to all come together.... Patience, Patience, Patience~

Raise Zombiewan~ :D

Long time no see!! Well, i am back from the Dead~ Going to Hong Kong friday for the Astroboy Crew Premiere, Very excited!!! ^___^
Here's what i have on the easle, wip:



it's based on a dream i had, about two months ago. i don't think the image does the horrifying dream any justice... oh well. The next one would be better, no? if you are wondering, I realized i took a very bad picture after dark today and had to do some twigging in ps on top~ :(

Best,
