holy crap!!
is this my first posting at 2009? already April? I am just toooooooooooooo lazy to do those upload thing......>< deeply self-reflection ING.....

this is an illustration I did months ago. Is an illustration for urgent matter. My sister's friend has published a magazine name"Askew", introduce indie band and rock music from Japan. It is not easy to run a magazine project with limit market at this time. But I feel really cool for those young kid who just graduate from school have great passion to pursuit their dream! I am glad that I can be a part of it.

This illustration is for the special topic of hide who is one of my favor guitar player in the world. 2008 was the 10th anniversary of his death. I have done a lot of fan art in different subject but I never have any for hide coz I know I am not able to catch his characteristic perfect with my poor skill....Kind of embarrassed! I really wish I can do better job. = =

new stuff 1

2008-09-08T12:03:00.000-07:00

Those illustrations are for a CD book base on a Chinese poem by Wayne Lin. the subject is about Earth, Tree, Water and Animal. I try to translate some part of his poem so you can get the idea ^^

二　野獸　[動物的話]

你們來看我,看我倘佯山水間,很悠閒
但是你們緊緊張張`匆匆忙忙,
努力`奮鬥,拼命賺錢
然後有一天,你們功成名就了,成為熙熙攘攘的遊客
在山野`落日`晨曦之中
像我每天所作的一樣-----倘佯山水間,自在悠閒

Monster

You all see me living in the landscapes with leisure

You all live a tense and hurry lifestyle

You all go all out to make money

Then one day, you all get your fame and become bustling visitors

In the mountains, the sunset and the dawn

Like what I do everyday --- living in the landscapes with comfort and leisure

new stuff 2

2008-09-08T12:00:00.000-07:00

一　川流不息　[水說的話]
我從天上來,炎陽晒`寒冬冷在時間的長河裡我切割土地`鑿穿山壁,我貫穿一切
太陽把我蒸發了,我又回到天上
天上`人間,來來`回回
一切歸於寧靜,一切終歸自然

Never End

I come to the land from above

The sun evaporates me and I return to the sky

The sky and the human land

Back and forth

Everything comes back to peace

Everything comes back to natural

2008-09-08T11:55:00.000-07:00

三　土生土長　[樹說的話]
我出身卑微,在暗黑的土裡生長只有一個願望,那就是,破土而出,接近陽光
我渴望長得高`看得遠,還要學會百年的沉默根深柢固的本性約束我永遠安份`靜默的,廝守著這一片唯一的天`這一塊唯一的地

Grow

I humbly grow from the soil

Wish to be close to the sun

I wish to grow tall and see far ahead

I learn a thousand years of silence

I am bound by deep-root nature

Forever hold my peace

And stay with this only sky and land

2008-09-08T10:37:00.000-07:00

四　大地　[土地的話]

太陽照耀著我,多麼光輝
月光環繞著我,多麼嫵媚
狂風暴雨肆無忌憚,呼嘯出它的威風
而人類踐踏我,宣示著萬物之靈的偉大
我任人肆虐`由人踐踏,活出一世的平坦
我滋養萬物.活出一生的酸甜苦辣

Earth

The sun shines on me with glow

The moon surrounds me with charm

The unscrupulous storm roars with its power

The human trample on me, declaring their greatness

I allow rampant abuses by the human

nourish millions of lives, living a life of bitterness and sweetness

came back alive on blog!!

Q~Alice Nine

2007-07-24T22:10:00.000-07:00

Alice nine is one of my sister's favor Japanese rock band. I try to draw a Q version for them. Maybe put on T-shirt later. Haven't drawn this kind of fan art since high school, is fun^^! But their hair style usually change often, I am not sure what they look like for now......HAHA

T-shirt design

2007-07-24T00:49:00.000-07:00

wow...time is running fast. is been one month??!!= =I am working on my new website(coming soon...). After that I can able to update new work easier.
This two image is for some T-shirt design for fun^^ Is anyone interested to buy it?....haha

some new work

2007-06-25T23:50:00.000-07:00

some new concept painting for fantasy version of ancient China.
I did them in four days for a game company's art test......I hope they will like it.
sigh....first job is always difficult to get. Even though I really love to work in animation studio, there aren't much chance for me so far. I also love playing video game and love to create a fantasy world for it(like world of warcraft^^). I believe that if I can get experience from game industry, it may also help my animation career in future.....hope hope

always about the mood!!

2007-05-29T19:40:00.000-07:00

in my case....painting new stuff always about the mood! when I am not in the mood, the painting will take forever....Last night I was in a pretty good mood. start to try something unfamiliar with....west town :) I am not sure how can I improve it.....any comments?

Elf.....maybe

2007-05-24T12:30:00.000-07:00

this character is really come out by accident. I did a quick sketch during I paint "the Hunter"
I try to use more color to create dramatic light effect.

sturdeay sketchcrawl

2007-05-22T16:38:00.000-07:00

this is my first sketchcrawl and I have a great time(tired too....haha)here are some sketch I did on Saturday. I think my hand is getting cold....need some warm up.....^^

romance style....first try

2007-05-10T23:56:00.000-07:00

[Photoshop]
this kind of portrait style is very popular in Japan and Taiwan. used to be on the cover of romance novel. for some reason I have to draw this picture for a friend. maybe because the model is a pretty girl, only spend me one night to finis it. hope she will like it!

by the way.....this is NOT me!!

hunter

2007-05-10T23:09:00.000-07:00

[Painter]
another illustration based on warcraft character. I used to have a very cute style, I try to bring up some darker feeling through this painting, and to practice my CG painting skill....I think I will have a series of work base on WOW.^^ I didn't play hunter so I design the outfit by myself. I was thinking about night elves when I start drawing. But she looks more like blood elves at the end.....!! About the background.....I think I have been staying in outland (Hellfire Peninsula) for too long....haha
any comment is welcomed. thanks^^

my first world of warcraft illustration.

2007-05-10T21:45:00.000-07:00

[Painter]
I have been playing world of warcraft for a while, but this is my very first illustration baset on this game.....haha

This illustration is for an online novel on the world of warcraft official website in Taiwan.

stupid book

2007-05-10T18:01:00.000-07:00

[Painter]
well....I did those illustrations for a children's book competition in Taiwan (suppose to). 15 double pages. unfortunately my story partner doesn't like the result so she refuse to attend the competition with me. Also she doesn't allow me to attend the competition only under my name. Actually she only come up with a simple story idea. only one paragraph. I am the one who did all the character design, give them personalty and put them all together as a book. During the process, every time I email her she pretty much agree with all my ideas. That's why I am pretty upset that she refuse me in the very last min....and she doesn't even look my work.....crazy!

anyway, I already finish all the painting. At least I can still use them in my portfolio. I learned a lot through the process, and got used to working on Painter.

finally.....

2007-05-10T17:43:00.000-07:00

finally get my art blog open^^
I hope this art blog can motivate me to painting and draw more><
