Fish Maiden meets Octopus Girl

Ok!Been kinda overdue but here's a bunch of stuff.

Staying at home today due to nasty eye slug on my right eye yurghs. Need to go to clinic for follow up checkup!

COLD

Really, sometimes it's ridiculous how cold the office is >.<

I've been feeling rather under the weather lately so I haven't been posting much. There's a whole bunch of stuff waiting to be scanned from the sketchbook though, so that'll make up for that! Take care everyone!

I Am a Chip Bender

Move over Aang for I am a CHIP BENDER! Muahaha. You know, like.. bending..like from Nickelodeon show, Avatar: The Last Airbender? What do you mean you never watched Avatar? Go watch it now, you loser!

Anyway moments after I was whimpering for Pringles, my dear colleague Ezat whipped out a can of potato chips and proceeded to share it with everyone. It is truly a magical event that would shame the best of wizards or witches. My stomach and taste bud is eternally grateful.

And now..

...or salted peanuts. Or Salt & Vinegar Frito Lays potato chips. Or a Cadbury Picnic bar!! Yessssss...

Mermaid in Colour!

I received this lovely surprise in the email today! It's Mermaid & Walrus piece coloured so beautifully by Ryan Claytor whom I had the pleasure of meeting (albeit briefly!) at San Diego Comicon this year. Thanks muchly, Ryan - this totally makes my day :)

(Psst don't forget to check his comics at http://www.elephanteater.com, they're intriguingly addictive)

Mermaid

Our poor fish maiden is being taunted/bugged by a belligerent walrus! A whale should appear and eat him up!

Something from the Sketchbook

I wish I have a coat like the girl on the top pic, in my size! Think of the petites, coat-makers!

Sunset

Quickie done during lunchtime! Just to test out some colour schemes. Done in Photoshop, around 45 mins. It's still kinda dinky but I tried so shaddap! LOL.

I did this with a childhood place in mind: Tanjung Lobang, Miri. My family and I used to stay in the teachers' quarters within a school compound that was situated on top of a cliff overlooking the sea. There's a spot that my brothers and I used to go to in the evenings to play and watch the sunset - it was absolutely beautiful. There was a beach that you can go down to through a path on the side of the cliff, it was like a secret place that belonged only to us. Being there at that time ...those are some of the happiest moments in my life.

Fast forward ten plus years, the spot now has been taken over by a hotel, and the lovely beach below the cliff is covered in concrete embankment. Our lovely sunset spot is gone, blocked by towering hotel building.

You can't stand in the way of progress they say - but I do believe in that line from the movie Miss Potter: "Sometimes beauty is worth preserving."

WIP

Something that I should've thought up for Halloween but somehow the thought didn't occur to me back then...

Comfort Zone

I'm thinking that art-wise I should challenge myself more. LOTS AND LOTS MORE.

Also I wanna make a hundred post before this year ends. So between now and December, that's at least one drawing a day to make it to that goal! Let's go!

After Work Sketch II

Some Commissioned Art

The usual comic characters aaaand.. Cleopatra! That was quite interesting...

After Work Sketch

Having gorged on some utterly divine Tunisian sweets (layers of filo-like pastry encasing chopped pistachios and lightly touched with honey) I went on a sugar high and polished off a normally plodding mundane task in no time, and after that promptly crashed on sugar low, forcing me to take a 5 min nap, face down on my jacket. This sketch is done right after that.

ARGH

I was working on an artwork for 2 hours and suddenly the pc crashed just as I was about to save. Resetted pc and opened said file to find work way behind the progress I had made.

My feelings? HULK SMASHHHH!!!!

YARGH

I woke up Sunday morning and my eye is red and swollen and itchy. FUN!

Bleeeh

I'm bored. Heeeeee :P

PHONE LOVE

Phone dates are fun.. I think :)

Oh My

An update?? I must not be feeling like myself these days. Which is lazy 99.9% of any given time. The colours are all off in this and Mr Octopus could use more work I think. Ah well. An update's an update even if it's a half arsed one T__T

(I'll put up more proper work next time ..uuu.. Just need to finish off work and also get off my lazy bum!)

Hm

I drew this because Mel asked me to. Why, you ask? I don't know either. Why Mel why?

Octogirl again!

I used this image for my name card :) Won't it be cool to have that many arms?
