Steam Punk is interesting and Army is the hit.
So, I've made my character design with the combination of these 2 themes.
More to be improved but I'm happy with it.

I'm supposed to do a caricature portrait of my friend.

So I've tried out a few brushes and some turn out quite interesting.

And below I present to you The Fantastic A-F (Azman - Fariza) !

2011-06-21T17:17:00.001+08:00

Have you ever think that caricature is not that cute but scary?
People are usually heavily distorted in caricature...
But, I can't deny that there are some pretty cool works such as below (from Google Search):

No matter how, this is still a very popular culture. So, here comes my first big head-caricature.

Reference: Ludacris - R&B Singer

If you are familiar with Chinese Romance Novel, you will find their covers with angelic girl portrait who may be the most beautiful or cutest one you can imagine.

You may Google some image samples by pasting this search key words "言情小说封面" and you will find all the prettiest Asian Girl portraits with most adorable eyes, smoothest skin and juiciest lips.

Hereby, I tried to adapt the style into my painting.
First off, your choice of subject matter is crucial. Pretty girl/guy, no doubt.

I really enjoy painting this. Felt graceful to work on a pretty subject.

This painting took me long time to finish off as the detail parts eventually taken a toll on me mentally.
It was finally completed after 5 weeks time while I work out a tiny bit each week cause I'm losing interests and feeling bored.

These are what I'm not familiar with and definitely need more practices.

First painting which doesn't has a complete reference picture, whereby a few different pictures are put together into a composition.

It's fun although we had been burning midnight oil for this and getting myself feel very sick after 2 weeks.

I draw a design for wall sticker with the theme given as Kid's Play Land.

Then i had my idea sketched out as below.

It is suppose to be surreal and fantasy.

Apparently it seems like bunch of kids had gone to heaven and yet they still have to go to school.

So, they moved back to the land and decided to go to the zoo.

However, client said they want it to be in rain forest with banana tree and coconut tree.

Oh, there are giraffe and panda in the rain forest by the way.

Theme: Night Life

Nowadays people dedicated most of their time in working.

Some of them are too tired untill they find no meaning in living.

In order to escape from the harsh reality,

they let themselves indulge in some unhealthy night activities.

Most of these activities look attractive and exciting.

However, once someone get stuck into them,

will finally see the side effects and dangers.

Although life is harsh and stressful,

we should not runaway from it and let those activities to numb our senses.

Face the reality and reassure our purpose in living.

For example, for the sake of your love one.

Story

A miserable working man has been working late.

He always go to a park, drink beers and got drunk before going back home.

Tonight he is led into a private garden by a mystery man.

He follow the mystery guy and jump in to a well. He dropped into a surreal world.

The place full of exciting night life events.

However, he felt haunted when he sees the gloomy side of this world.

He tries to runaway.

"Ghosts" keep chasing him.

His suitcase suddenly grows a pair of wings and brings him home.

The wings disperse into a piece of picture of his wife & daughter.
