Xmas eCard for Lumine Studio

It supposed to be in swf format, but blogspot don't support it, and everything I've tried failed, I just post a screencap of it. Forgive me. Will put the original .swf format once I find it's way :)

One of my simple Flash animation work during my time in Lumine Studio, it was a Greeting eCard for 2010 Xmas to our clients.

The concept was simple, I want to bring the joy and warmth of Xmas (even though I'm not a Christian, but I understand the concept, so.. yeah) with a touch of cute and fun animation.

A little help from fellow workmates with the bell animation and the fallen snow coding. :D

The Emperor and His Empress

The Emperor was a product of my frustration while waiting the bus to go home one day. I just wanted to draw a fierce looking male, but it went on and on and on. And thus... somehow, The Emperor was born.

His Empress born when I was bored during work, and need some distraction. Both of them abusing my pen it almost dried out! :|



Anyway..
So, I've been practicing manual sketching, and experimenting with some style.. and somehow, I think I've finally found one that I could proudly call my own. Though it won't stop me to continue practicing and developing and taste another style.
^^

Edit and put them together in Photoshop CS3.
At first I wanted to color them or to put them in interesting layout. However, I think the simplest one is (if it's not always) the best.


But, really.. nothing beats manual drawing for me.
The emotion, man! The emotion! XDD

Summer Heat

Yeah, the title and the artwork have no connection whatsoever, so.. never mind.
It's just a painting practice anyway :P.


So I heard it's already hot in north?
Summer already? :)
Happy Summer Days!

*ah, well.. we have summer all the time here I'm so bored with the heat -__-' XDD

All-time Favorite Classic

Jane Austen : Pride and Prejudice

When Bukune asked me to design a cover for this all-time favorite classic, I was thrilled! Really. One of the cause is while I'm a big fan of it's 2008 movie (one which Keira played), I hadn't read the book yet. It's a bit hard to find it here, mind you.. So, yeah.. I'm excited. XD

I made three alternative for it, as you can see here in bottom. Above is the chosen design with slight change.

_____

Loisa May Alcott : Little Women

Another one for Bukune. This time is the famous Little Women by Loisa May Alcott.
My own fav is the last one in the right, however, they picked the one in the middle.. Not my best design, hmm :/
