Old buffalo man - revised

revised and colored version.
I changed the shape of the head and also the proportion of the face features so that the design of the face is more interesting.


I am working on another clay sculpture of this buffalo man ~
will do another photo real clay paint over this week.

Environment (experimental)

This is an experimental (happy accident) project.
The technique was from our department chair Scott Robertson.
He asked us to use a custom brush (any kind with interesting shapes) and messed around. Then zoom in and use your imagination to find interesting shapes and composition.
I made it too complicated so this was the only one that I think it's workable.


then I was trying to learn Sparth style ~ but I think I still need to improve my environment painting skills .__.


I haven't taken any environment classes yet >< ~ (except the perspective drawing one that I posted before).... so I will take some classes in concept design academy this summer and hope that I can improve my environment rendering skill TOT

Fashion illustration - 80s illustration style


80s illustration style is about very wide shoulder but small hips which creates the triangle shapes.
Our instructor found a model whose body also looks triangle (big belly but thin legs) XD
too bad he didn't do many interesting poses ~ most of his poses were the same...
so I picked 2 better ones I did....

In class digital painting

This is yesterday's in class painting
my mac was out of space so my photoshop keeps crashing~ that's why I didn't get my painting done >< I only got the face done *sob*

Character rendering

This assignment is a character rendering in realistic style.
So we need to pay attention on materials indications and everything should look real.
This is a contemporary costume design for future era and she is a princess.
The costume is inspired by ancient Chinese costumes.

I just uploaded this revised one so I re-post this again.
I had soften some edges and added textures in the background.
Added some shadow and highlights to show forms more.

Final version


early development

I don't really like my first sketch, so I changed the pose and her hair style.
