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

Female III
A thinker thought that a tinker was just a tot.

Those were the thinker's thought.
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.

Female II
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.

Female face

Female dress
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.

I was trying out to create some animated advertisement and one that I came out with is this short cruise promo. I was using Trapcode Particular for the dolphins’ water trails and splashes, and Trapcode Shine obviously for the final text glow. The rest of the images were either vectors or PNGs, created using Illustrator.

Japan Language Festival 2007 poster
Had bought Wacom recently and manage to test it out by doing a poster for a society. They want it in grayscale and red. Here’s the image. This design was rejected though. Below is the image itself.
