Website Graphics - Painted

The paintings are finally done! Whew! And look how pretty they are. Awww.
The watercolour paintings are always quite nerve-racking and somewhat time consuming, but once they are finished, they look much more interesting than the digital media.

Foreground:

Buttons:

Website Sketch Update

The drawings for the background, foreground and the buttons are all done... Just need to finish painting them. Yes, paint. That's what I do now.

Website Sketch

Dan and I decided to share a website. This is a partial sketch for what I want the front page to look like. Hopefully I'll get it finished soon and get the website running too!
On another note, Daredevil was on TV just now. I had never watched it, and wow. I should've kept it that way.

Merry Christmas! It's the end of 2011

This year, we're having a white Christmas!
Dan and I made a few of these pop-up cards for our family. Done in watercolours and cardboard.
The three of them in their glory.

A very quick prototype

The cutout pieces are ready to be glued on

Merry Christmas, everybody! May nobody eat too much yellow snow.

Comic Book

I've been privileged to work on a comic book project with a team of talented artists.
It's been a long term project which has lasted almost a year (and still going!), but it's exciting to face the challenges of storytelling, and keeping the consistency throughout the series. I guess having to alter my style for the different demographic makes it even more challenging.
Here are a couple of samples of my work.
Dan's been helping me out with the colours and I've been finishing off the pages with the lettering. It's been a fun project and I'm glad I got to try it out.

Stripes

Dan was working on his new drawing for Illustration Friday.
The new word is "Stripes", so I decided to join in. This is just a quick drawing in ink on paper.

Halloween Monster Window

It's almost Halloween! I've finished a few more chapters of the comic book (which I've been working on since the beginning of 2011), so I decided it was time for me to have some fun too. It is totally not because Dan has been working on several Halloween illustrations.

Time for some sexy WIP:
Quick sketch
Pencil drawing
Finalised in pen
Scanned in Photoshop for some colourful times!
It's a little (?) different from what I usually do. But isn't that what Halloween is all about? - To go nuts? No? Why not?
Because this illustration was such a contrast from "the norm", it took a bit of convincing from my husband. He's a comic geek. It only makes sense that he likes this. Right? Yes? Yes.
