Hey there!
It’s been a while since I’ve last posted on this blog, and I’ve been delving into some major digital works. So check out the images below!
1. Maleficent
Maleficent has always been my favourite Disney villain, perhaps even my first favourite Disney character ever! Angelina Jolie portrayed her so well (in spite of some disappointing plot elements in the film). Made on Procreate and Photoshop CS5.
2. Baekhyun x Coffee
I’ve long been curious and interested in how coffee can be used a sort of medium for painting traditionally, especially with watercolour. The upper one is obviously a digital work, with a coffee-themed palette, incorporating coffee stains and a general brown scheme. The lower one is my first attempt at a traditional artwork made with water and coffee. It’s obviously amateurish but, hey, it’s not as bad as I thought it would be. Plus, the smell’s good!
3. 11 Days Have Passed
This one was made when I was practicing painting traditionally. There’s a certain element of permanence when you’re painting traditionally and with watercolour, because you can’t press ctrl + z to undo mistakes. I guess the combination of what went right and what went wrong was the reason why I like this one so much.
4. Tokyo Ghoul!
2-3 weeks back, I got suckered into reading Tokyo Ghoul and I love it so much! It’s got blood, guts, cannibalism, death, ambiguous morality and just a whole lot of darkness and I love it! These two were my first works for the fandom, and they were also my first works on my new graphic tablet. Upper one is Rize Kamishiro and the lower one is a genderbent version of Ken Kaneki, the main character. The Kanji in the second one means “Tragedy”, an allusion to Tokyo Ghoul’s most famous intro: “I’m not the protagonist of a novel or anything…I’m just a college student who likes to read…but if, for argument’s sake, you were to write a story with me in the leading role, it would certainly be…a tragedy.”
5. Once
Made this when I brought up my old Nightwish playlist and started jamming to symphonic power metal again. Model is based off Floor Jansen (who is now the new lead vocalist for Nightwish and I am pretty stoked for their next album. Imaginaerum was good and all, but this is Floor!!!)
