Ingradient Art

Bloodfeast is an annual Halloween party in Boston, MA. I'm looking forward to my first Bloodfeast this year. I still have to come up with a good costume though. These zombies were inspired by retro styles. It's kind of funny that I went with zombies since I had a serious phobia to them. I had nightmares for over a year after watching Dawn of the Dead. I couldn't even watch Shawn of the Dead since it reminded me of my irrational fear. I'm pleased with how this one turned out.

For the Alliance! I started playing World of Warcraft (WoW) shortly after the release of the Lich King expansion. My main toon was the druid, Pagong. I was a hardcore PVP healer. I've since stopped playing but still go back to visit from time to time.

I thought I'd give the anime style of drawing a try. This is Eren from Attack on Titan. It's one of my favorite anime to air recently. I haven't really gotten into this style since my high school years so I need some practice.

Purple and Red need a world of their own. Here's a map their hometown. I call it Half Town, named after the town I was raised in. For the first six years of my life, I lived in Tunga, Leyte PH with my Lola Lilia. Tunga translates into “half.”

I created this for a yoga event. From my understanding it involved a club, music videos, and yoga. I'm not sure if the event ever happened. I still like how this came out though, so I thought I'd share it.

Look at the purple guy in action! He's on a mission to get from point A, to point B. These are renderings of different parts of his walk cycle. It rotates through the walk cycle to make him appear as if he's walking. It's like 2D posing as 3D.

I feel you in my bones. You're knocking at my window. You're slow to letting me go. I know this feeling oh so, this feeling in my bones. The purple guy has bones! This setup has the option to use some inverse kinematics on the arms and legs.

Here's a little more detail on the clothing. I used 3 additional objects for the strings and did some vertex painting on the shirt.

He's got clothes! The only additional object here is his top. His pants are technically part of his body. It's just painted on. Can you tell that he's got a bit of influence from Auron?

For his hair, I went with the leaf with alpha channel method. Each section is a like a leaf on a tree with a transparent image attached to it.

Jeepers, creepers, where'd you get those peepers? I created it of course! I'm liking this purple look.

This one goes out to all the squirrels I've /loved before. This resto druid is Pagong of Champion's Legion. She's not currently active, but when she's actually hanging out in Azeroth she can be found hoarding achievement points or capping flags.

I've been wary about posting fanart into my blog. It's such a touchy subject for artists. However, as a self proclaimed otaku and mega gamer, how could I not create and be proud of them? Here's a painting I did of Superman.

Here's some progression on the purple guy's mesh form. He now has digits, ears, a nose, the mouth, and eye sockets.

Guess who this guy is destined to be? Hint, it's got purple hair. Here's the beginning of a cartoony body mesh. It's got a head, body, and limbs. It's simple and low poly.

This is the purple guy, revamped. I used a more simple style to make it easier to animate.

Riley had the cutest bum. He had a little piggy tail that coiled around. I miss him every day.

The purple guy needed a friend so I created this red lady. Neither of them has an actual name. It'd be cool if they could end up in some post apocalyptic steampunk game or animation. However, writing actual stories isn't my forte. I'm working on it though.

Here's another study on walk cycles. This one works out a lot better than the purple guy's walk cycle.

This is a walk cycle that I created for GameSalad. It's made up of separate .PNGs that animates of this purple guy walking.

The long dog was Riley's favorite toy. He used to suckle it like a baby's bottle. I love this illustration so much, we had it printed on a few mugs.

This is the beginning of a female body mesh. It's low poly, so it's perfect for video games. Someday I'll help create a video game. I have to brush up on my 3d skills.

This butterfly was created in Photoshop.

We're back to 3d content once again. This one is of Riley. It's the beginning of a mesh created in Blender. He's doing one of his bored faces. Sometimes he looks like an ogre when he's bored.

Riley was our Boston terrier. He was such a good boy and he got along with everyone he met. He loved going on long hikes through the woods and his long dog toy. He had the most expressive face I've ever seen in a dog. We miss him every day.

This one is pretty straightforward. It's a vector graphic of a hand, in the process of doing a snap. I forget why I created this to begin with.

A logo idea for a physical therapy group.

Here's an example of my photo restoration skills. This portrait is of my Lola (grandmother or generational sign of respect) Lilia. She raised me from when I was 1-7 years old in the Philippines. She was a tough love kind of lady. I used to constantly “run away” across the street, to her sister's house. Still, I was definitely a Lola's girl and I miss her dearly.

“E” is for Earth. This was originally supposed to be part of a word/logo. However, it was starting to get too complicated for that purpose. I liked how it came it out anyways so I kept it.

This was one of my first attempts at graphic design after a long break from creativity after college. It's not one my best works, but taking that first step was the first hurdle that I really needed to get over.

This is the last self portrait for a while. I promise. In this drawing, I'm showing off my dimples. They tend to show up better when I make a funny face.

Here's another self portrait drawn with a pencil. This shows my resting face. I wore a hoodie to frame my face.

This self portrait was done in pencil with a little bit of conte to finish it off. In this drawing, I'm showing off my pearly whites. It doesn't seem to really convince anyone though.

This is a portrait of a girl. It's me! I was working at Lindt Chocolate Factory at the time. There was a massive mirror behind me so it was perfect for drawing whenever the store was empty.
