Cover: Revelation

Here are couple of recent covers I did for IDW's Transformers line. These the first 2 of the 4 connecting covers.

Update: gallery comments

I haven't have time to log into my gallery for awhile. I decided to do some maintenance, but when I log in, I found over a thousand spam messages in the comment section. I must have enough viagra ads to last me for life time. Needless to say, It took me awhile to clean all that up.
Considering the fact that most people don't actually leave any comment, I thought that feature will probably hardly missed, I decided to turn off the comment altogether.
I thank those who has made any comment on my artworks in the gallery.

Experiment

One nice thing about Nintendo DS is its portability. I put it in my pocket and will be able to paint anywhere. It's light weight, and good battery life too. Although it takes a little getting used to small screen to paint on, I think I'm slowly getting a hang of it. I tried something really quick but I didn't finish it, so the painting is looking rather cruel at the moment.

The next picture is just an experiment coloring from one of the panel of Transformers: Devastation #5.

Batmobile

My last entry I said I was going to try to post something everyday. The purpose was to push myself to create contents for my blog, as well as pushing myself to do some sketches for self improvement. Unfortunately, it's been several days, I didn't even keep it up for 2 days straight! ha!

I may not keep up with my a-post-a-day, but I'll definitely need to stop being so lazy on blog entries.

Anyways, this is one of my illustration I recently finished for DK Publishing in UK. I believe it's one of those hard cover technical guide. My previous experience with DK was when they asked me to illustrated 2 pieces of mechanical cut-away views of Optimus Prime and Megatron and 2 pieces of their transformation. They were used in Transformers Ultimate Guide. Batman has always been one of my favorite Superhero, of course I wouldn't say no when they approached me for couple of Batmobile illustrations.

Scribble: Girl Face

Quick sketch of a girl in the middle of the night.
I am trying to update my blog as much as possible, and working toward the goal of a post a day, but having a baby kind of make my schedule hard to predict.

Myra's Snow Day

This Saturday, a friend of my wife's asked us to go to something called "Snow Day" in a park, something I never knew about it. What it is, is some organization goes around different parks, set up booths for kid activities, games, crafts, concert and most importantly, they brough some real snow and dumped in the park for kids to play in, even made couple of snow sled trails. Very fun stuff for kids.
Our friends' kids are all over 2 years of age, they rolled around on snow and made snow man. Myra could only stare at all the other kids running around, but she really enjoyed it, she was kicking her feet and waving her arms excitedly.
It was really a fun day for us to be out there in the Sun and enjoyed the afternoon.
Myra was wearing her new poncho, she looks like little red riding hood. :D

Sketch: Myra 3-monthes-old

I've got a little bit of break at this time, so I took the time to do a little sketch of my daughter which I've put off for awhile. My wife wanted it to hang on our wall. She is constantly complaining about how her friends' kids all have a portraits of themselves done by me, but I haven't drew one for our daughter. Now I have a little bit of break time, I'll try to make that baby album that she's been nagging me about as well.
