Bathroom at Night

6" x 8" oil on canvas panel.
 
Planning to move on to larger paintings. 6x8s are just a little bit small for good details. Also, the canvas grain on these panels are a bit heavy. Encouraging though, getting the hang of this.
 
Here's a detail:

Animated Sketch


A small test getting a drawing animated. I made one main drawing, and on the following page redrew some elements so I could scan both into Photoshop and cobble together a looping animation. I staggered the elements out over more frames for a little more variation than a simple 2 frame flip.

Drawing out 3 frames would have been better. For next time!

Busy busy

It's been a busy time! Here are some short story illustrations I finished recently for futura.poskod.my. More to come soon!





I also have a 30"x40" oil painting commission (first painting to be hung ever, phew!) drying in my living room. Feels like a graduation thesis from the year learning about oil painting.

Bioshock 2 Bas Relief Design

Something from the archives (2008). Here's one of the bas relief designs I did for Bioshock 2. In-game it appears with the phrase "Fallen, fallen is Babylon" across it, with a shrine of photographs at its base (which someone else did a great job on).
