Bark & Byte Game Design - Byte

I still like the very first game character that I designed. His name is Byte, and he is an action hero in the game, Bark and Byte, that we designed in school.

I'll post more about this game in the following postings.

Purple Dress

Hasn't been drawing for a long while. Finally got some time today to sit down ad draw. Although the model is
Nozomi Sasaki, I didn't really try to resemble her. Just use her photo for posing and lighting reference.

Also check out my drawing progress on FaceBook >>

夢解 - 船和藍色大海

在與朋友的聊天之中偶而聽說了「孵夢」這樣的心理運動。就是早上起來之後把夢記錄下來、分析，用來更加了解自己的方法。心血來潮之下用了一些以前在心理系所學到的東西試著分析了友人 M 的夢：

M 氏之夢 11/26

在教室裡，有一個老師/組員在旁邊，上紙雕課。要折一條船，成功的折了一個大船，很高興。另外有一隻大魚，可能是別的組員折的，和船配一組，也很高興。需要找海浪，發現別組有用藍色皺紋紙做的海浪。M 想要和別組合買，別組拿出一個很大包的 twin pack， 1.39 元很划算。今天的課結束之後把東西收起來下禮拜繼續。用東西擋著，立得很整齊很高興，剛剛好。

到另一個教室，日文教室，有一排學生。老師是女生，一直講，很奇怪沒有字幕聽不懂。問旁邊的人說講老師現在是在講日文嗎？旁邊的人說對，M 很生氣，覺得被騙了，怎麼可以講日文。M 覺得大家都不會吧，結果旁邊的人馬上用日文回答老師的問題，M 驚訝萬分。

算了，先離開吧，開一個拉門到自己的房間。發現好亂。床在牆旁邊，地板上放很多東西很亂。想要整理整理，就開始整理，東西倒出來開始折衣服，可是很後悔，應該找老公一起做的。有人走來走去，因為要去廁所。沒有人幫自己很後悔。

以下是我的解釋：

M 是一個不拘小節，生活隨興的人。平常喜歡蒐集各式各樣有用或沒有用的小物品，例如廣告傳單、樹葉、宣傳手冊之類的。蒐集之後總是隨意的放在家裡。M 的老公是個有點潔癖的人，喜歡把東西歸類、放整齊。倆人因為收拾家裡已有過無數次的大小爭執。

M 喜歡做料理，卻不喜歡按照食譜來做，所以雖然可以做出美味的料理，卻也常常失敗。即使是拿手菜也不是每一次都一樣好吃。在夢中的紙折的魚可以看作是料理，因為折一條魚就像料理一樣，需要用對的材料按照正確的程序才能成功。

M 的老公常常和她說明家裡維持整齊的重要性，但她從來沒有聽進去，就像日文課的時候聽不懂老師說的話一樣。但是其實心中一直都有一部份其實是知道的，只是不想接受。

所以從 M 的夢中其實可以看出：M 其實也希望把生活很有調理的整理好。折紙、折衣服，都是需要按照一定的程序和方法才能完成的工作。其實在潛意識中，M 似乎其實嚮往著一種簡單、有條理的生活。

M 似乎覺得我的解釋很有道理，說不定這樣子對夢的一番理解真的對了解自己有所幫助。下一次試試看解自己的夢吧。

Girl With Horns

Drawing a cosplay girl with horn decorators. Although I am not sure what game or anime character she is playing, her look and the mood in that picture did inspire me.

Drawing her hair is the most tricky yet interesting part. I can spend another 2 hours just draw and tweak details on the hair. But it was late at night and I decided to call it a day.

I have never draw anyone wearing glasses before. This is new to me too. Surprisingly, although glasses covers most of her eye, it actually enhances the depth of her look.

Night Imp Ranger

Reference from a game character figure. That is a very well done figure. I kind of drew it in a different style.

Let Yourself Feel from Vimeo

let yourself feel. from Esteban Diácono on Vimeo.

Please enjoy this beautiful digital art piece by Esteban Diácono. I have been working in visual effects for years. For me, a dynamics simulator always means smoke, fire, dust... I've never expected that we can create this kind of beautiful pictures. Very inspiring!

Girl on cliff

Another photoshop practice. Just trying to get myself use to my tablet. It is still rough in many areas, but I am just trying to get a basic lighting impression here.

Graffiti from Margot Henderson

I found this Graffiti on Facebook by Margot Henderson. I like the way she handles the furs and water reflections. Graffiti has a neat feature that you can re-play the drawing process. This is very good feature for people like me who want to learn more about illustration drawing.

Girl on a chair

I hasn't have time to draw for a very long time. Just recently I finally re-open my sketch book and went to the figure drawing class in the company. Although my fingers are a little rusty, but I still enjoy drawing. Here is a evening project with PS + tablet for experiment.

Old Sketch - Alice

I found these old sketches in my harddrive. Very interesting idea. I don't know what I am thinking when I drew this...
