Oh my it have already been 2 months since I first installed Manga Studio Debut 4. A friend of mine gave me this program as a present because he believed that I would put it to good use. Well to say first, I greatly appreciated the gift and also his support in my works. Thanks Rhapsody!So what to say about this program? One thing to make clear, I've never worked with any version of Manga Studio

So this creative block have been in my system for long while. As much as it is dormant during work hours I do think that it leaves a trail of side effects. It always take time to adjust to a new environment and schedule. This winter have been crazy since the first snow. Every single week it had snowed once or twice. Only this week, I do not remember seeing any flurries. Thank goodness for

Tonight I thought about sketching or playing a bit more with Photoshop but in turn I needed to vector grass. Yup, that's right, grass. When I picked it out of the list I was thinking "how hard can that be?" In truth, it is harder than one will think. Especially getting the right feel. You don't want to have too much details like each blade of grass nor do you want to avoid making it too

Yesterday I did a sketch because I missed the pencil and paper. Today I decide to apply color because I'm procrastinating from my actual work. hahaha yes, sorry GU, the comic will be coming soon.

2010 was a really good year, actually reaching the 'great' status. It's hard to believe that 2010 is already over and officially referred as last year. There are a few bumps once in a while but nothing overly crazy happened. Most of my friends had a quite successful year too, both personally and professionally. It was really great seeing the growth others and I am definitely happy about my

I was really happy that NYCC was very successful this year. Aside from the people that I met, sales was also good with my products and commission requests. I would consider this to be the most successful when I compared with past conventions and shows. It's great to get the exposure but even better when it leads to long term gigs and friendships. The convention itself have ate up most of my

So there was a Garfield comic strip where he was talking about the fountain of youth. Instead he found the next best thing, COFFEE! To tell the truth, it definitely is. I was falling asleep at my desk today. To a point where I fell asleep and my tablet pen slide across the work area. It was a very interesting scribble that appared over my Photoshop file. So, "Hello, Mr. Coffee. Thank you

Today was probably the most adventurous day ever at my office.We hunted for goblins and giant spiders at the stairways and then ventured into the wild wild west and hung out with Bob the Trader. Later on, we had some voice acting fun going on with a lot of laughs. Finally, creating probably one of my own favorite pixel piece that I have done (left).Okay now back to prepare for the rush!

Illustrator is my good friend at work and the Keyboard is my BEST friend. Why, because of the short cut keys! Yeah, having shortcut keys is so much more effient especially in a fast pace work environment.

For April it has been fairly busy. I had 2 conventions back to back, meaning one on one day and the other one was the next day. Both were fairly good experiences however it does make one very tired. That it took about 2 days to recover back to functioning state and probably will take the rest of the week to get rid of the cold that came with the aftermath.As a briefing for the both cons I will

Here is a nice thing going on. Last year some artist from Area221 have decided to make a special present for one of our most highly respected professor. Unfortunately, I missed the sign-up but Tuesday night, the artist that started this project contacted me and asked me if I want to create the final piece. Of course I jumped at it and was glad that I did because the outcome came out great!

So as the title says, who is that actual 'hottie' in this picture? The pencil was first drafted for the 123Hush Sketchbook in 2008. I have always wanted to have this in vibrant colors and tonight I have finally took the time to color this. It feels nice to just color for fun, instead of thinking about how much it would be loved or suppose professional looking it has to be. This was a nice an

You know one of those few times that you actually want to flip through your reference books? Well this was one of it, but I couldn't find it. Well, I still don't know that book went.Anyway, I did make my goal of completing by Sunday night (10/11). I did a different approach than my previous piece called "Nu" First off, the brushes I used this time was custom and I played more into the

Phase 2 of my "Star" piece. There's still a lot of work to do. It took a while because it got really busy trying to avoid people that are spreading germs which I wound up getting sick again. I'm still in the recovery mode but hey at least now I am not 100% completely crashing after I get home, well it also does help that today was Saturday. lol

This is the new illustration that I'm working on. It is the match with the previous one that I did. Maybe eventually I'll do a another one to fit in my RGB theme that I did back in January. BTW, this is Star of Gu. =D

I did a different approach with Nu here. I tried it with a more realistic rendering than what I first attempted.

Okay, on the first "completed" upload, I forgot to turn the top layer back on when saving (oppsie). Therefore, it was missing the jam and the spoon. Also with a suggestion from my friend, Ciro, I bumped up the intensity of the light. Thanks Ciro =D

This is my latest illustration. Obviously the sketch is different from phase 2. I'm starting to like the phase 1 over phase 2, lolz. I dunno. I was sitting at a karaoke bar where my friend, Justin was practicing for the MGM singing contest. It started off as a sketch then I scanned it and doodled away. Even though it's in phase 2, I'm still trying to figure out which style I want to render

Original Sketch:Complete:So I finally have finished my first piece for "Alice.Alice.Alice." The future seems a bit fuzzy but I'm going to continue working on pieces for this project. This piece is done in photoshop, time is about 45+ hours. It started off as a color study but in the end I wound up finishing the whole thing.

This is the cleaned up version of the previous sketch. I basically switch the position of the two girls and added more embellishments on Nu's shield. As for the background and all, I am contemplating if I should deal with sakura or ginko. Right now it's leaning toward ginko because that is something that I rarely use. Plus it's so pretty when it falls =D

This is the new piece I'm working on. As you can see, it's rough, really rough. I haven't been as inspired as I wish to be. More so of, not as creative. But I think this is a good start. The deadline is Sept.11th, let see if I can finish this and create 1-2 more before then.

This is drawn for my aunt's boss. She's a really nice lady and this is to celebrate her birthday this year. Not bad for something that took 15 mins and with a set of cheap color pencils. A set of 12 even. This card was challenging for me because I was unfortunately sick with a respiratory infection. So even just the pencil felt really heavy to me. However, that's not going to stop me. It

Well here is the latest addition from my freelance gig. The subject is a little boy named Nate. He has a snuggle best friend which is his blue hippo. Nate loves constructions and recently had a 'Home Depot" theme birthday party. His idol is Bob the Builder and wishes to be like him when he grows up.So that is the little cute story behind this little cute boy.

I realized that I was getting a bit rusty. Nowadays I spend more time on InDesign than Photoshop. After meeting up with my group yesterday....well, I decided to take some time and draw. Also to take a break from the new freelance gig that I got. So I did a warm up color sketch. This sketch took about 5 mins so excuse the mistakes.

Here's one of the sketches that I did at Wizard World - PA. I took out my set of rapidograph pens and my trusty 0/10 brush and had a little smack down between the 2 inking methods. To cut it short, my brush still win. It's not because just the flow of the brush but the rapidographs are a bit scratchy. You can get a smoother line with the disposable ones. It takes a bit to get use to the flow

So has it really been a month since I have last posted?As everyone can see I really haven't been drawing nor continue being active on my deviant for the past months. I call it the complete creative block. Picking up a pencil and placing the tip on a white sheet of paper, it still remain blank. Even though the thing I am mainly creating now are for print advertisements, I still prefer drawing.

So I have been away for a while and fought long battles with Verizon DSL, I have finally won. The casualty count? No internet for 2 weeks and a deceased router. So the replacement came today. Anyway, I was spring cleaning my computer and I have found this.This is the first version of my website, pinkimoon.com.

Here's sketch #2. Still the same criteria. Tonight, I feel a lot looser than last night. I guess that my improvement. I'm am more satisfied with this one, however, because the shape of the face is one that I use more often than others, I am not. I definitely have to work more on just not structure but also the shadow. Sometimes I focus too much on accuracy in turn it back fires.

I'm having a new attempt on things while there's some (imaginary) down time from projects.So the criteria for the next couple of sketches are:1. Can only work in monochromatic tone (I choose greyscale today)2. Time Limit: 15 min3. ONLY the brush tool is allowed to be used and nothing else. Traditionally, I can use pencil or pens, the main point is absolute NO erasing.4. focus on facial anatomy5.

Well, my freelance is finally done. In this economy I happy that made enough to cover 1 month of bills. Anyway, I had a lot of fun doing this gig. True, that in the beginning, flipping through over 400 images of the little girl can get overwhelming, but in the end it's worth it.The challenge of this gig: Drawing the animals. The elephant was not hard but the dog was. It's a black Labrador,

Here's the portrait of the little critter. Isn't she cute?! Okay so this is done and now there's 3 more and it will be done. Hopefully I'll get to finish it before the weekends. It's so weird because sometimes I look at this and it feels like it's not really my work. Also a little slow with thought process today, I was a bit slow in work. Maybe the cupcake will help.

I got a freelance gig, doing 4 illustrations for a little girls birthday. 3 scenic and 1 portrait, all cartoon style. Through this I realized, I am definitely faster with pencil/ink than starting straight digitally. I am going to color digitally but I'm too old school to be starting straight from the comp.Here are the 2 of the scenic, I still need to work on the elephant.

The children's book author that I was suppose to collaborate with last year actually contacted me. However, I don't think that I would be able to work on it. Aside from what Dennis have told me, also working with GU, EK, and 2 other freelances. I wonder if I really am super human or not.But while with everything, I am working on a private piece. Even though it's just a preliminary sketch,

A few weeks ago a friend sent all of us a link regarding to Udon's tribute to the DarkStalker series which they are accepting submissions. As much as I was never much exposed to the world of DS, I definitely can say that I am a huge fan of Hsien-ko and her sister. That is the illustration that I did. Of course, I can't have it shown, yet. At least until the release of the book due later on

My roomie said that I should find a new hobby aside from drawing since all I do is sit in front of my comp with my Wacom. If I'm not sitting at the computer I have my sketchbook with me and my Cutie Puppy pencil box. So I went to see what I can do but in turn I did this:So much for finding a new hobby!(Oh this is the back from a 2009 calendar that I didn't like the pictures of, it's a

Last night before bed I found a couple of job postings of craiglists. Today I decided to test out my luck and I got one reply for a children's illustration book. It's really motivating when I got the email. I still have to do 2 "test" illustrations before the writer decides on the artist he is going ot use. Hopefully I will be able to get it.

Well, I got a reply from the person on FB and he sent me a link to his scripts.  Before I replied him, I looked at the script and thought about my scheduling.  The weird thing is, when I signed in FB and want to reply his mail, the link is no longer available and the web link that he previously sent me is a parked domain.  Thank goodness, that I didn't jump straight into it.

Convention season is over for our group. Now I finally have some time to work on my site a bit. There's no new artwork at all but I am going to slowly transition the sections.One the side note: Someone on FB is looking for comic artists to draw his webcomic pitch. I sent him my summer comic, maybe he'll like my style. It never hurts to find new ways to get exposer.

Before and after. This is a sketch and color study for my a.i.w. project. Even though it's only a study, I like the perspective and concept enough that I think I will fully render this illustration. It still needs A LOT of work but hopefully I can make it up to par.

One member from an online blog that I am a partially active member of, started a game on it. She posted a picture of a zombie girl and asked everyone to join in the fun. This is my contribution. Well...can't expect much for a quickie sketch. lolz

I talked to Tess and now it will be a beagle =DWe sort of swapped our projects. Earlier I mentioned that she will be my writer for my 3 volume comic. While I gave her the script she also gave me her's which I will also be doing the artwork for the her new comic submission for the anthology of GroundUp studio releasing 2009.

My friend asked me if I will ever draw Yuri art since we always bump into the Yuri Con organizers all the time. I responded, I do not want Yuri being the break in the industry for me.  I will test the water but not actively.The work that will get me recognized will be Honey Way. Tess and I will definitely make it happen. First step is Alice and Alluring Lines with Mr. Lofton.

Totally awesome!I went down to my friends' signing for their new release comic and also to give her the summary of my comic Honey Way. We're going to make this happen! T is going to be my writer and she also proposed another project for the time being. I'm going to be the artist for her comic short. A lot of drawing for me, I just hope my hand doesn't cramp.

It's actually hard to set up the mobile device for posting. Twitter is so much easier. I was hoping to set it up to make posting any artwork easier but then again. I still do not understand my phone that well. It's alright since I'll be getting a new one soon, hopefully then the emailing function would be better.
