Glass, jelly, cream and (minus the) sprinkles.

Image
A continuation of this revamp . This other picture is also done in 2011. Before the cups picture to be precise. I'm using Blender this time because for the last 3D revamp I use Cinema4D. But still, I have no idea how to perfectly model the cream on top in Blender so I used Cinema4D to model them and the sprinkles. I exported said files as .3ds files but sadly the sprinkles don't turn out well when imported in Blender, so I had to ditch them. And for some reason I forgot to do the spoon. They're staring to look pretty awesome. I love how the glasses look here, despite being a bid jagged on the inside eventhough I've already used the sub-surf modifier. Also, I tried making the patterns on the straw but they turned out distorted. Moving on to the environment. Lots of yellow and curtains. Not forgetting the ceiling fans. ACK. TOO REFLECTIVE. Fixed. Loving the shadows on the last bit.

Pick your teacup

Image
This was drawn in early 2011 back when I was in Jakarta getting ready for my final year in Limkokwing (moments before I go to Malaysia). I was in a total green & purple mood again so I drew this. The green cup was supposed to contain green tea while the purple one was containing poison disguised as grape juice or wine. Well maybe it's safe to just say it's wine/grape juice. Back then I wasn't into 3D that much. We used 3DS Max, I wasn't a big fan of it but now I kinda miss playing with it. And now, since I've gotten in touch with Blender and Cinema4D I thought of redoing this pic in 3D. I used Cinema 4D R12 for this one. The original background was black but I wanted a brighter background so I choose light grey for the environment. I felt like something was missing so I added a door and some round windows. And dimmed the lights a little. Finally, I gave a little sunset touch.

Drawing Down Memory Lane

Image
As I was flipping through my pictures and downloads folder, and my harddisk (which is currently getting fixed) I came across some old characters and reminders that I had redrawing plans. Back when I was in 4th-6th grade, I was so fueled up with Digimon and Pokemon fandoms, and so were my friends, so if I'm not mistaken, there was a point in our grade school lives that between classes, we drew each other as either digidestineds or pokemon trainers, complete with our 'mons to match. I'm not sure if any of them still remembers this but I do, and boy were we lame back then. These are OCs based on an old grade school friend (and her Digimon supposedly, which went through redesigns), yes the designs were supposed to resemble Gatomon & Kari Kamiya from Digimon 02... but then suddenly Alice in Wonderland. Oh and I was also listening to Shinedown's "Her Name Is Alice" here (but then this OC's name isn't Alice tho). I'm such a copycat back then ...

Furisodeshon

Image
deviantART | Soup Had to do something for my birthday, and I never thought the theme would be Furisodeshon by Kyary Pamyu Pamyu . Myoo89 cameo'd as the creepy cat mascot. I don't know why either, I was probably envious of the party in the music video, the trippy animations & how she got to goof of & get drunk and stuff, I mean I always joked about myself getting drunk with Myoo89 but we never really did. Cuz we can't. Because reasons. Now, a furisode (some kind of kimono i think) is supposed to be red and white, and worn on someone's 20th birthday (and not 22nd) according to some article I read on the internet (which explains Kyary's video & her attire and theme, and the hatachi-hatachi-ing), but who cares, I can make it purple and black because I can. And because red's already taken here. Or maybe because Myoo likes purple and purple is also the color of Cangkir (yeah, I was planning to feature Cangkir in here too cuz of its menacing face...

Seeing Double. Times Two.

Image
Since it's been a long time since I draw "two sides" pictures here's another one. Was in a mood for some 30STM x MCR pics again. Also, I've been joking that the two half-skull-faced girls from 30STM's Up In The Air music video are like the new Fear and Regret (The Black Parade) and suddenly I had this idea. Honestly it would look better if the picture is rotated with either duo standing upright, but since I'm undecided of which band I love more, I just laid them down horizontally. They're technically lying on the ground anyway. I kinda like how their faces turn out. Their eyes & lips. View from both sides. Plain background looks good against them too.

Getting in touch with 3D again

Image
So because of my current job, I need to learn how to use the 3D software I downloaded but not used in college, Blender. I'm surprised that their latest version (2.66) is way easier to use compared to their previous 2.49 version. I started off by experimenting & making some really simple models like the Envy Cake, some cups, mugs, hourglasses, and eventually the white headphones with black stars that I wanted so much since 2010 cuz I was planning on modeling a replica in Blender back when I still didn't know how to use it :P I even made some comparisons just because I also happen to have Cinema 4D in my laptop. Oh how I love comparing alternative programs together. Tried making a .dae file so it can be edited in both Blender and Cinema4D because it's easier to make the bubble tea pearls with C4D's array modifier but I prefer making the straw in Blender because of the pointy end by moving one vertex while enabling falloff. One thing that suck...

Some concept art & doodles for a fanfiction I wrote

Image
I've written the fanfiction already but these are just doodles cuz I didn't have time for concept art yet due to the amount of work. Yes Owl City and Fall Out Boy are involved here, and the theme is clearly The Lorax so this should be considered fanart. More to come sooner or later.
