Creative IG's new website has finally launched!

2011-03-02T00:35:00.001+13:00

Creative IG is a group I've just founded recently that consists of a small team of freelancing artists, with a focus on providing a platform for individual artist to work on collaborated projects that is often too big to be taken by a solo freelancer. It has been over one year since I first had this idea and words can't describe how excited I am seeing it finally come true. That beding said, we are still a new group and how things work out are still unknown to us at this stage. But with dedication and hard work, I'm sure each one of us will improve and better ourselves, and as a whole making IG known by more people day by day for the coming years.

PSG Burlesque/fanbook promotion

2011-01-18T01:26:00.001+13:00

Another PSG piece, inspired by the burlesque style... I was actually thinking to make it a bit more old world and bit more rococo influenced, but it still turned out too anime looking...

anyway, I can still use it as the promo illustration for the fanbook that I'm doing along with some other even more awesome artists atm, it will probably be the last PSG piece till I finish all of it, the rest of the fanarts will be exclusivly included in the book: Chromatic-ism

extravaganza 2010 - FLIGHT

2010-11-07T04:39:00.000+13:00

This is my contest entry for extravaganza 2010.

It sets in a world of steampunk utopia, where mankind has taken the technology to a level that is so advanced, they are even able to elevate the whole city. So apart from flying vehicles such as hot air balloons and airships, this kind of steam powered flying suite is an essential tool for travelling from places to places. Its design is complex yet elegant. It's equiped with two powerful steam powered turbine engines that sit on the tip of the wings. A pressure meter is equiped on the left arm to allow the pilot to constantly moniter the pressure level and fuel status, while three pressure vavles sit on the other arm giving the pilot delicate control over the thrust on both engines and the rotation of the wings for turning. The wings are locked into place on a shoulder piece that rests on the pilot's shoulder. To minimise the stress on the pilot;s shoulder, the should piece is supported by two hydualic levers that is connected on the other end to a metal ring around the waist, the metal ring is again connected to the suit through 10 mini hydualic levers so that the weight of the whole shoulder piece and the engines can be dispersed to the whole body leaving the pilot with little stress on the shoulders. So it makes the suit comfortable to wear under any situations.

Some new drawings

2010-10-31T01:32:00.000+13:00

I finally got some time to sit down and draw something, still need to warm up after being away from the tablet for almost two monthes. Here are two quick ones.

Hellboy Sculpture UPDATE

2010-10-23T22:37:00.003+13:00

Cool, the first day of Armageddon just passed, after several late night rushes on the sculpture, i've been totally drained out...But luckily I still managed to put everything together before armageddon. Here's a few photos that I took since last update. Will post photos from armageddon when its all over.

Bust

Bust all sides

Legs

Other parts

Finally everything can be put together now, but theres still some minor details that need to be done like the left hand, pouches, and the pistel. When it's all done, I will mold it and make 10 casted resin kits. Those kits will be available for purchasing, the details can be found in the flyer below. Cool, that's it for now. Thanks for viewing.

Hellboy Sculpture WIP

2010-10-04T01:20:00.002+13:00

Okay...it's been a while since last post. I've been working on this piece of garage kit recently. It's still not finished as you can see alot of details are still missing. The next step will be cutting it into seperate parts, and detailing each part individually. One is because it'd be easier to handle it and work into the details, and two is because it's a necessary step for mould casting. But anyways, now it seems inevitable that my HB will be cut into pieces, and theres a chance I might never get them back together in one piece. So here's the illustration and WIP photo, and lets just hope everything goes well for the next few weeks. Fingers acrossed! =m=

Monster Head Sculpture

2010-08-21T03:07:00.002+12:00

My first try on sculpting. Used super sculpey and baked hard in oven. I don;t know why, strangely enough, sculpting seems to be more natrual to work with compared to drawing. I think I will try making some more while I haven't lost interests in this. XD

DO2010 Photo Dump

2010-08-08T17:40:00.009+12:00

Photos taken at DO this year. I'm alway too lazy for this sort of stuff, but I dont want these photos to get lost and forgotten buried deep in my harddrive either. So here they are.

Lie chan working hard on her commision at the event.

Ppl gather around our table, again lie chan working hard serving customers. Must thank her for that, so I could wander around taking photos during that day.

Finally me and lie chan caught in the camera, due to some reason her face must be censored, lol =v=

Ray, must thank him for helping out on that day too.

Some nice cosplayers, really like that BRS, though the size is not actually what I remembered from the original work (if you know what I mean =v=)

Love that DRRR helmet, though thats not a real helmet and she cannot see through so she had to take it off after ppl taking photos.

Spain (from APH) and lie chan caught in action .

Doctor Franken Stein from souleater!! In my opinion, He's the best coser on that day!

Behold! Trap sighted! Jerry looked lovely in that lolita dress btw =v=

Comiket ppl interviewing a touhou coser, I also got interviewed, it's so hard talking to them while one of the older guy kept speaking japanese to me @.@

Lovely daughters of those DD lovers

Finally and most importantly, figures!

Finally, must thank those people who bought our posters or showed their support on that day, thanks to them all the posters are pretty much sold out.
