MGS 4 old snake figurine, i manage to take photo of it without the stupid guy noticing lol. enjoy


old school comic lao fu zhi, but here u could say that its a revamp, the artist redesign it into something cartoon, conceptart illustration, totally different from what we use to use in those old time lao fu zhi comic. haha its really cool and refreshing to see someone uses a old icon and revamp it in another way.


EX-s Gundam

Aquarion




The inside of bumblebee head revealed. (transformers ) really cool doesn't it sort of a cyborg. haha.

Toys and Comics Con

Sharing some pictures I took today at the event...



Below are some really nice dolls displayed on the event, loved their dressings!

Taken some gundam photos too, maybe will upload them later... lol. Tell me if you want the photos, I will send them to you =)

Kirmu is posing a challenge to Henry...

The ultraman in the costume already knew what how we wanted to pose with him, the moment kirmu step forth, he went into that pose. XD Spontaneous... thumbs up for being a sport~
I thought this was quite a nice pic taken...

Comics and Toy convention at Sunntec!

Crossbone Gundam
EX-S and RX 78
erm... Some japanese version Wing Gundam i think

Guan Gong Gundam? XD
Overall i think it was not bad a convention, other then a stupid looking goat look-a-like idiot who didn't allow us to take photos of the MGS4 Old Snake figurine. Yaohui managed to snap a shot before he can stop us i think. There was a good mix of american japanese and taiwan stuff, transformers, gundam, mask riders, Marvel, DC etc etc.

MGS fanart : Preview of a bigger picture

Warning : Spoiler Content!



I spent a lot of hours on this, and man i would say im proud of it so far. This is Meryl, if you still can't tell. This is a cropped image of a piece im currently working on that's inspired by the best scene from mgs4 (Issac would agree), where she and raiden fights off haven troopers while Snake crawls through the "microwave" corridor.


The final image is inclusive of snake and raiden, but im still working on them. Once again comments please! Booking in tonight, YAWNZ. i'll be back on friday. Till then!

NEW BANNER LOLCAKES

Enjoy =]

took half an hour of my time.

Nirika Bogdana

OKay! here's my share of ideas for weikit's theme. haven't got started with the vehicle design, but i do feel the character is more important of course. This is Nirika Bogdana. Whether you're commandos, seals or whatever, they are to be feared. She is the leader of a special melee forces group under the codename "Crow Fists". They move in the size of a section, nothing more nothing less. to encounter one of them, you would be butchered. To meet all of them, would make you a very nice bloodbath. Oh and... They hate men.

I tried to take a little influence from yoji shinkawa's art, naturally after spending over 30 hours at mgs4 (finally complete!). i kinda like how it turned out though. She means quite alot to me, though i think im gonna spend more time coming up with a more detailed turnaround for her and her team. Expect more!


Oh ya and your comments too!

im here..:D




Thanks for CC invite me...haha

Sneak Peek...

This is a little preview of my Odin WIP... colors still very raw... flat also...
Critics are welcomed =) ( got my bullet vest on, Just Shoot )

i think i'm gonna take awhile to complete this... 2 more weeks and i'm off to Taiwan for Exercise Starlight... Hope its bearable and fun la... after that its some mad rush of a couple more exercises and commissioning ball chores before marching day by day closer to commissioning... so yea... will squeeze out time to do both this piece and project 8D...

Btw, this is not MY blog... it is OUR blog... everyone has got just as much access to this website, feel free to decorate it or add our fellow DMD mates if they are keen in being part of this little community... =) the more the merrier, i'm sure we all can learn from every individuals... Lets keep the posts coming and pencils working... Cheers~

No name for her yet

Still thinking of a name.

She's a flight commander for a bomber wing, plus she's a hotshot pilot herself. Still kind of thinking through the details, more to come.

Got most of the inspiration for the character from many areas, but the style of it is WW2 era British. The idea for a bomber pilot came from shows like Memphis Belle, Top Gun, and other old war movies. The character's appearance was also heavily influenced by the character Mei Ling in MGS4. (who's also a captain, but of a battleship)

Was supposed to draw a guy actually... guess i'll do that next time.

Banner Issues, and MGS 4

Alright, gonna need everyone to send me a 660x200 jpeg of any piece of work you did for your banner pic. Try not to put any words or border on the picture, its gonna make it look wierd. Try to send it to me asap.

Plus, anyone know where i can host flash files? The gif just isnt coming out that nice, whereas swf files are perfect, just that i cant find anywhere that can host it and make it work here... stupid web stuff. Got a site? Do tell.

I think we should change the overall look of the site also, but that one isn't really a big issue. Well, anyone who's done web work or has experience, please feel free to change stuff. Just don't think it's nice to use a basic template, especially since we are DESIGN students. cough cough.

Last but not least.

MGS4.

Awesome.

That's all.

Thanks. Bye. xD

Ellie, Lolita Armeh




.-. concept sketch for now =D helping mess the office up HOHOHO. yar yar machine and parasol weapon missing =< wait la hor.

This is my final mission

Whatever games you're playing right now, better complete them over the next 24 hrs. This is it. The time is now. I already got the collectors' edition guide book as a pre-celebration for the game of the year. To all who's getting the game, you need to get this guide book too. It not only features walkthroughs, but also includes a print on quality paper (limited to 40000 pieces as you can see from the number in the pic) and the details of the entire MGS saga and characters. CANT WAIT.

New Theme!! - Advance Wars Redux!

New theme!

THE THEME.
In the spirit of Advance Wars, conceptualize and design a character and a vehicle for him/her. Feel free to explore any and all kinds of design styles or influences. Also, try not to limit your imagination; your vehicle can be anything from a car, to a bicycle, or an animal mount, or even a freakin gigantous battleship! Also, be aware that this project is probably going to be an ongoing one, so chances are you might be designing more characters and vehicles in the future. So try to think in a bigger scale, visualize an army rather than just one soldier, then develop your designs accordingly.

WHAT TO DO.
Conceptualize and design a character of any gender, race and background, and then an accompanying vehicle or mount for this character. If possible, try to produce a nice piece of artwork showcasing your design.

WHY SHOULD I TAKE PART?
It's a good chance to start pushing yourself to really do some design work that can be a potential portfolio piece.

WHAT HAPPENS AFTER?
It keeps on going. Occasionally, new changes will be implemented, hopefully keeping the theme fresh. All the concept work and final pieces could even be compiled into one big conceptual project, and perhaps made into a concept book, which would be a nice accompaniment to any portfolio.

CAN I TAKE PART?
Its an open theme, anyone can take part. But to post here you need an invitation to this blog. Contact Wei Kit if you need so.

DEADLINE?
Hell no. But please try not to slack off. If you do, shame on you, especially if everyone else is working hard and producing quality work. But also try not to stress over this theme too much. If you ever find yourself having any sort of difficulty, fell free to post up your work and ask nicely for some comments and critique, and hopefully, you might get some good advice to help you out.

Remember, the main idea in all of this is to help those who are having difficulty doing work, and also to have fun along the way.

Hope to see your awesome designs soon!

News flash...

Hey guys... i think its about time we put up a proper banner or something... 8D doesn't really mean anything at the moment... hahaha... Feel free to put up any suggestions, sample pieces or even final product, we'll probably rotate our designs weekly or monthly so as to keep things more fresh...

And, we are planning some stuff to do to keep ourselves in the league... coming up with a theme and hopefully everyone can bring out something out of that theme in our own individual style. e.g.... the tentative idea for a theme is something about a mecha / vehicle / whatever that needs a driver or pilot and a commander / driver / pilot of that machine. Yea... until everything is finalised, hope everyone looks forward to participate in it.

Cheers

When we were young.










Random Sketches right out of my sketchbook, colored some of them out of boredom. just a splash montage of unrefined work.

lol you can clearly see that i went through a 'granado espada' phase there on the left. GE has awesome designs, too bad the gameplay sucks ass.

Lol... I'm Back~

Came across this photo while running through some unnamed DVDs.... lol... brings back memories doesn't it? This was one of the Sentosa pic we took when we went there with the seniors after the orientation for the freshmen.
