2013

Happy New Year of Snake 2013! 

I wish this year brings you lots of happy moments :)

good bye 2012

It's been a while...I just wanted to draw year of dragon version mr. birdman. 2012 was such a dramatic year for me. I hope it was great year for you all!

I was working on these because it was kinda slow today... quiet before storm though...

yep. redesign of this one by my partner's request:

latest...

Last week I was back in the US. It was nice to be in Boston again although it was only couple days of stay and it was...snowing...so Boston... Now I'm back in Tokyo enjoying the luxury of being able to have fashion choice for a jacket. In New England during winter I would have no choice but dull, waterproof dawn jacket.

I started this painting last week before my flight to the US. I was hoping I have time to work on this during the stay, but I didn't. (I was disappointed that my effort for carrying tablet was worthless after all) I finished this up yesterday, but I'm still not sure. I feel some spots are still needing more work, perhaps the dark areas...every time I take a look I feel ashamed because it makes me feel still the "mother" and "her will  (the other side)" look better.

btw "our void", the last post's art is widely accepted in many forums and art SNS. I was surprised to see the people's reaction on that because I thought the piece was too quick and in rough state. I can't tell if it's because I got more exposure since the devianArt daily deviation incident or it's actually pretty good.

The title for this one is "in my solitude". She's shy. ...and before anyone says...yes, I do like the song and I borrowed the phrase from it.

hmm

It's been a while...I'm painting and doing other things. Being exposed to high quality art at studio everyday I feel I have long way in front of me...

Do you ever feel empty? You better don't because the creature above would come to you and sit next to you. You may pet its fur, but try not to poke its eyes...

living in Japan is crazy! I'm afraid that I'm gonna gain back heavy Japanese accent in my English, so I'm pushing myself to hang out with my English speaking friends who happen to be in the city. Above is the break time doodle of the day... I'll post more as I progress this more.

painting painting!

It's been busy crazy this year...I decided to quit my job (hard decision  of course, but I had to move forward...Harmonix is truly one of the greatest studio with tons of nice fun people. I miss them already...), move to Japan, and now I'm lucky enough to work as an assistant for my concept art mentor at his studio in Tokyo! I've been painting all day for work, like a dream...

above is today's practice. probably 2hrs with photo ref.
