The Christmas Spirit

‘What if… What if I told you I had a pair of reindeer antlers? What if I told you I’m the one who brings joy to families and passion into carols? What if I told you that I’m the one who first spread the words about Father Christmas? … would you believe in me?’ 
-The Christmas Spirit.

P/S: MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!

Garden scene WIP

Here's an update on the garden scene from 'The Dragon and his Princess' group project!

I've model and textured the bamboo trees, textured the willow tree leaves, did the placing of the models around the garden and did most of the checking and organizing of the maya and texture files for the Garden. All the troubleshooting regarding the garden files are my responsibility.

Kitty Logo WIP


Some idea thumbs I’ve did for my best friend’s college business project’s logo design.She wants to create a business that features a kitty café, where owners can bring their cats in to meet other cat owners and savour a cup of tea. So she asked me to design a logo for her business. Her criteria was: cute, japanese, simple.

First Meet

As the crying baby princess was lowered towards the baby dragon that has just emerged from the top of his egg, her cries subsided, replaced by the look of curiosity and wonder. The baby dragon shyly look up at the princess and blew warm air at her face through his snout and soon the princess was smiling and reaching out her little hands towards her new friend. 

Artist note: Another concept painting for 'The dragon and his princess' by Firefly Production.

Kite in the Meadow



'Hey little dragon' The princess stared up at the kite above them. 'One day when you're big enough to fly, bring me with you okay?' 


The little dragon trotting behind her gave a little cheerful bark and jumped forward, chasing the shadow of the kite.

Artist note: A concept painting for the current project I'm doing with FireFly Productions 'The Dragon and his princess'.

Tears feat. Rokurokubi

Concept: This artwork features a Rokurokubi (a Japanese folklore youkai who is a normal woman by day but gains the ability to lengthen their necks at night) who was heart broken when the human man she fell deeply in love with went insane after seeing what she really is. To save him she took away his memories of her and the love they have been nurturing and disappears into the forest, never to appear in the human world again.

 W.I.P for a simple 3d modeling video I'm working on currently. For the final short video click here
Concept:
Many many years in the future when the earth is covered by the sea after the 2nd great ice age, humans learnt to survive under water by building cities in the form of jellyfishes which can absorb sunlight as its source of energy when it resurface only once every year due to the terrible UV rays before going deep into the ocean again. Food were hunted from the sea with special underwater vehicle which are dispatched daily. Due to how dangerous sunlight is now without the ozone layer, humans got accustomed to darkness and only need very little source of light to get by their daily lives. Its a sad tale, even with such high tech technology. Human can no longer roam free on land under the sunshine or breath fresh air.
