Really? Good. Because I didn't design it.

This is assuming you're talking about the portfolio site. Looking at it now, it's really not all that rave anyway.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

i love you!

Poem:
There have been good times,
There have been hard times,
We've fought and we've struggled,
We've kissed and we've cuddled,
And even at the end of the journey we know as life,
Through the times we thought we couldn't make it through,
I know that you will always be beside me.
Thank you for everything,
I will always love you.

<3 you.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Yeah my style is similar to the Kingdom Hearts art style here, I noticed, but they're actually two of my original characters, Roiz and Krue. They've been in most of my other pictures too.

In a world without you...

Shitty self-portrait. Painter IX.5, ~60mins. I hate it, but it made me feel better. Life hasn't been very happy to me.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Chapter titles for the second to last chapter in my manga. Low res. camera shots because I don't like my scanner.

ROIZ ver.
"thank you for always being by my side. i'll definitely come home to you, so until that day, farewell. i'll never forget you."



KRUE ver.
"you taught me how to love. because you were always by my side, protecting me, i know that you'll definitely come home to me. thank you."

I got bored coming home from work. Will redraw + CG for www.deepindivine.com (NAKU official website!)

FELIPE NO

I have a few more pencil sketches to scan, but I'll scan, CG, and post them after I finish...

designdraft 3: design en bleu

I'm so proud of it. It's my first Wordpress theme from the ground up. That's my sandbox so theres nothing interesting to read (only some pictures in my gallery sandbox), but you can still play around with the layout and see how far that gets you.

Estimated Launch: Early June.

I still need to start getting content ready but yeah. Tell me what you think of it.

deep in divine 5%

Media: Pencil (0.5mm)
Program: Adobe Photoshop CS3 Extended
Dimensions: 1920x2500; 600 pixels/inch

I fixed up the cog and the chain, since their messiness was bothering me. Also I finished the frame! So now I just have to draw the picture inside. I'm looking to start coloring today, and maybe finish sometime early next week. We'll see how inspired I can stay to reach that goal.

As for technical detail, I was going to try to add a lot of it with color, but I see what you mean, and I'm going to try to work on it. This picture has to end up as perfect as I can make it.

deep in divine 10%

Media: Pencil (0.5mm)
Program: Adobe Photoshop CS3 Extended
Dimensions: 1920x2500; 600 pixels/inch

From the last progress image, I finished the lineart and made a lot of adjustments from my original pencil sketch's lineart. Firstly, I fixed Roiz's left arm to a more natural position, took a hell of a lot of tries to get it right. I also fixed his neck and chest area to be more anatomically correct. Also fixed some issues with Krue's hair and foreshortened arm. Furthermore, coloring has begun. Dai helped me with some of this stuff, so a big thank you for seeing and fixing what I couldn't see or fix.

Well I didn't work on it for several days in succession. Normally I don't use any tool to automatically fill colors; I just use brush tool. Is that bad?

deep in divine 40%

Media: Pencil (0.5mm)
Program: Adobe Photoshop CS3 Extended
Dimensions: 1920x2500; 600 pixels/inch

Progression #20. Did some coloring and lighting, but my knowledge of light is seriously lacking. I tried coloring some of the skin but it looked so fake I just got rid of it and went back to the solid color.

edit//More lighting. I'm aware that the light on her face is wrong now, I'm going to fix it so that it seems as though light is coming from the viewer; whatever she's pointing at in the hole. If I were to act as though the sun were the only light source, I think the picture would be too dark, and I was going for a lively atmosphere.

Here's some color practice that I posted in the Daily Art Thread. Used my friend's picture and did her beauty no justice. Oh well. I'll probably do more of these sometime soon, probably after I finish deep in divine.



Also, the next sketch that I'll be completely digitizing:



I think I'll call this one "lost in nostalgia" since its similar to "deep in divine." The name keeps growing on me. But digi-inking and cging this one won't be fun at all.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Progression #22 (Full resolution)
Lots of lineart modifications. Lots of coloring Krue, who is done except for her pants at this point. I'm questioning my method of coloring hair, but I think it's pretty ok for the most part. Today was about 12 hours of work total.

Tomorrow I'll probably add the lighting on the sphereblade and start adding the base colors for the shotgun and cogs. After I do Roiz it'll be smooth sailing. I hope to have it done by Monday.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

deep in divine 75-80%

Media: Pencil (0.5mm)
Program: Adobe Photoshop CS3 Extended
Dimensions: 1920x2500; 600 pixels/inch

Progression #23 (Full Resolution)

Lots and lots of progress. More base colors on the frame, fully lighted shotgun barrel, everything on Roiz save his hair, and lineart fixes. I'm aiming to finish tomorrow night. I'm thinking there's only about 10-15 hours of work left to be done. If I sit down and concentrate, I can finish it by the end of the weekend.

FELIPE NO

I'm slow, it's big. I also will probably have to do the lines again at the end because I have to upscale it by 3-5 times to actually print it. Plus I've never put this much depth into a colored piece before so I'm kind of learning as I go along.

All just excuses, the real answer is I just suck.

deep in divine 100%

Media: Pencil (0.5mm)
Program: Adobe Photoshop CS3 Extended
Dimensions: 1920x2500; 600 pixels/inch (12" x 17"; 300 pixels/inch printed)

Progression #30 (Full Resolution)

Well, it is complete. 100%. Done. My second 100% completed CG work. Not much to say. It could have been a bit cleaner and now I know that I have to draw at the size I intend to print at, so I'll keep that in mind for my next poster. I'm very pleased with the outcome and I hope people enjoy it.



I made 13 prints of the picture at 12in. x 17in. to give to family members who have helped fund me going to college, my workplace and boss, and for two of my friends. I plan on numbering them 00-12 before I give them out, if not only to feed my ego into thinking they have some sort of value.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

New works now up @ my blog, right here:

Enjoy and comment in the thread or the entry, your pick!

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Heres an update. Hopefully someone somewhere will notice.

I don't dabble too much with illustration anymore, mainly because of time restraints, but I'm going to try to change that. But I do design things on a daily basis.

Hotlinking mainly because I'm really lazy and don't like posting things twice.
