Here is another piece of artwork that I experimented via Illustrator to have some similar overlaying effect in Photoshop. Enjoy.

Sometimes, when inspiration comes, it must have came in bulks! I happened to take a short walk during the weekend to a unusual place – a shopping complex that least compelled to me, in fact – somewhere in Klang Valley. There was this boutique cum gallery open that sells antique items and paintings that are located in its own small gallery. It is nothing fancy but I walked in anyway to take a quick tour. There was a large painting hanged there, which to my surprise, despite all the fine art collections there, looked very much Katsuya Terada anime-ish style, depicting a dark gloomy female.

To make my excuse short, thanks to the painting, I gone back home to try out something of my own using Illustrator. And, the result, here it is. My first try on a eerily beautiful portrait piece.

Another illustration done by using solely via Adobe Illustrator, except on the image resizing to be put onto this website

When I started this artwork, I was inspired by a piece of a black-and-white prints found in Malacca, showing a fashionable manga-ish female with her own larger silhouette shadow at the background reversed. Despite the low resolution image printed on a roughly 40″ x 40″ canvas (It is not a good buy. It looks pirated. Please respect the original creator of the artwork.), it’s design do keep me astounded for a short moment.

With the visual still embedded in my mind, I brought it back to my own studio space, and voila, here it is. Enjoy.

Female I

And here are the details that I put in.

It has been a while since I last drew something anything. So, I thought of doing something with Illustrator after reading some articles in magazine. I used only mouse to draw this, which is not hard to do, since Illustrator lines and stroke can be adjusted anytime to perfection.

Here, it is; Girl on Scooter.

I did my best to fill in as much details as I can as I was targeting this to be printed in large scale. Most details, other than drawn from scratch, I used Illustrator patterns, blend and also stroke pattern.

Teddy Bag

The Girl herself

Coquetry • Head and Lines

This piece was inspired by another typographical design where typeface and lines merge into one beautiful artwork. From there, it came to my mind why not have a piece of image and lines merging instead? Thus, this one vector here. Used solely Adobe Illustrator.

If you look carefully, the face is, in fact, colour-fills within a combination of curved lines.

Enjoy.

Wall of Mojis • Escher-styled

Wall of Mojis

I was digging though my old harddrive and noticed some of my long forgotten artwork. Back when I was working in my third job, my company did some mascot characters for their website, one of them called Moji. The very first 2 characters are in pink and brown. I kinda like the character and was also amused by how M.C. Escher did a lot of his more recent optical illusion works. Combining the two of these, I created this Wall of Mojis.

Showed to my bosses but they did not seem to fancy it back then.

Anyway, enjoy!

A girl ventures into a path that is beyond her common understanding. Excited and anxious, she chooses to continue, and slowly traverses through the dark atmosphere. Soon, she realizes a beam. The light is engulfing her senses. Frighten, for the fear of the unknown source of this glow, yet she decides to believe in it. She will soon know she this light will neither harm nor hurt her.

Beauteous

The whole idea for this piece was to create a magazine-like cover. I used a hi-res photo and started to “paint” patterns on it with Photoshop brushes. I like how the floral patterns, when used in white on the photo, turn out looking like laces.
