Continuing my Le Gardenie fan art last time , here's one other that I seemed to have forgotten a few years ago. Just redrawn it, as explained on my Revamps Blog : The style is sort of inspired by artworks of a certain clothing like (whose name I can't remember) I saw in a magazine, the same magazine that featured this comic series. I was fascinated with the style, mainly the wings & the dripping effect, & one day decided to try drawing it out. So I'm just using the entry for dumping out the different versions I come up with, cuz I just can't decide which one looks the best. Here are the JPEG versions on white & grey backgrounds respectively. Just trying to compare which one looks better on a shirt. Here are the PNG versions, the first one with the lineart stroked white & the second one without. Le Gardenie (c) Ben Wong & Gempakstarz

Been a while since I draw something for Le Gardenie, one of my fave comics back in my high school years. Since the first time I read them I feel like making fanart but I lacked the skills back then. Lol Orange gets a makeover from the girls... Lemon doing his hair, Apple working on his face with blush aaand poor poor Kiwi is stuck with polishing his shoes, since she's a tomboy & all & doesn't want anything to do with making hairs & faces look pretty. Orange as usual, is confused wondering what's going on. Here's the transparent PNG version: Drawing this was quite fun. Initially I planned to do a black & white drawing with very few hues, one bright hue for each character Le Gardenie (c) Ben Wong & Gempakstarz

More photos in my Twitpic account Just a collection of my snapshots. They're taken using my sister's iPod with LomoLomo at first, then my phones ( Nokia 3500, then Samsung Wave 533) & edited in photoshop. I've decided to merge the thumbnails like this from seeing my previous lecturer do the same with her photos for a certain showcase. It was frameless at first, but giving it a frame would be nice. Not sure why it's in the shape of a clipboard, but I like it. I made a phone frame as well (but I like the clipboard one better. It comes in 2 awesome colors, red-pink and blue-green.

My first ever poster design mock-up for an upcoming event. I won't be a judge or anything, but since I'm the one who designed this, it still looks a bit flawed in every side. But here's the thing, since the name of the tour is Iron Tablecloth itself, the poster has to contain elements of the names. For the iron part, texture is given to make the background look metal-ish. Later, the names of the bands are shaped into a tablecloth shape and underneath, rivets are given just to show the tablecloth's made out of iron. Notice the white words giving out the shiny metallic effect (which failed as well) Band list: Your Physical Violence Jamujuana The Mole and The Ostrich HackySack Geblek Tig-Ass Bitties & Dig Bicks Pink Parade FO9XI47 Metasnortosis Snow Frickin' Day Bloodwires Monotonic Winslett Disarm Enemy Ships III Bars Serifless Koize Textures (c) night-fate-stock & viv-stock

This idea unsurprisingly came during bedtime when I was trying hard to sleep. Forcing to sleep sorta made the brain even more active & insomniac. Don't know why I was thinking of operating systems that time but just thinking about it, it would be cool to sit on a Windows window while eating a silver Apple apple. And wearing some schmancy clothes like a classy Madame. The Tux doll (representing Linux) & that random alien (representing Alienware, still not sure about the color scheme) could probably be that I haven't tried Linux or Alienware yet. The transparent PNG version. Without the night sky it looks a bit empty. But hey, transparency is cool. Here's the third version. It looks quite unlikely to be presented but I thought of making a dripping effect (though I doubt it'll look good)

Myoo Rockin\' the Studio Started out as bits of crappy sketch animation made in Flash but continued everything using Toon Boom Studio with the help of Illustrator & Photoshop as usual. And a bit of iMovie & Premiere Pro for the sequencing. It's Myoo89 featured here btw, and she digs purple, black cats & the Union Jack, thus the guitar & the whole settings. For some reason I like how the purple dark tones & yellow highlights blend in so well in here (IMHO purple & yellow never compliment each other... until now). Kinda funny, Myoo in here looks sorta like a female version of the leadsinger of Snow Patrol in their "This Isn't Everything You Are" since he's also wearing a striped shirt & having curly hair. But not rockin' a U-Jack guitar! Heheh. The song used in here is Hey Monday's "Hurricane Streets". In the beginning I wanted to use "To The Sky" by Owl City cuz, let's face it, the concept of th...

Saw some doodles on the internet once & decided to make some of mine too. I was bored while doodling these on the sketchbook & haven't thought of any color schemes for each doodle yet until it was digitizing time. Here's the lineart. At first I thought I wanted to color them in a messy & uneven way, kinda like using markers. It feels okay using really light colors, but darker tones started to look less good while using the style. And finally, the fully-colored version. They kinda do look nicer this way though.
