A Lion and A Boy

Basically, the message of my sketch is the complacent silence between individuals no matter how dangerous or vulnerable the other one is--even a predator and its supposedly prey, such the case in my illustration.  The boy does not need to end being the lion's meal nor the lion becomes the boy's safe den against other wild animals.  Just for that moment, the lion and the boy both need to coexist in the same turf, if they want to benefit both in warmth of the fire.

A Furry Tail

This illustration was inspired by the Studio Ghibli's, "Princess Mononoke" animated movie. An idea came to me yesterday, when I saw an image of a red fox. Foxes' have these impression of being mystical and enchanting. They are known to be sly and tricky.  But what if a fox such as huge as this one can be tamed and be loyal to someone-let's say a girl named, Harrieth, a girl from a nearby tribe. A story can begin even from a small idea such as this. I can't wait to see this colored someday. 

So, I spent my spare hours at the office working on this sketch. :D

Chimney

An enchanted girl, Chimney jumped around the vast forest with a magical staff. That's how far I know about her. I hope to do a detailed yet brief background story for Chimney later. 

I started roughing in the details here in the image on the left. Then, I cleaned up the line, on the right. I look forward in rendering this illustration in full color but, I am taking slow in figuring out the style. I am in the process of learning how to play with colors and values. 

I hope sooooon : D Thanks guys!

#10 Sketch-O-Day

Laundry and Mike's Bathing Time. I imagined washing my stuffed pillow--Mike Wazowski, struggling as I soak it in the pail. 


A Place Where Lilies Bloom

Hello everyone! I just thought about doing a sketch of a girl riding a boat. This sketch has a lot of meaning to me. Lately, I felt like that my life is like a ride on a boat. Most times, a boat ride can stay still without moving; sometimes, it can go pass a strong current where it would shake its passenger. But, I know whatever happens, a boat can take you somewhere--beautiful. Just, trust the current and go with the flow (given you know how to go back, of course) Like this girl, she was taken into a place where lilies bloom and beautiful unexpected things happen. 

Lilies, I love them.
