When William joined the army, he hates the phrase ‘fire at will’.

Random title name. Anyway, looking back at my old gallery, i decided to make a list of my favorites. Some do have it's own meanings while other have their own meanings contributed by audiences, which mostly is because of my boredom. I draw anywhere anytime if I'm bored or nothing to do. Just like a cigarette, except it doesn't affect your health. Heck, I even draw using my right index finger on my right thumb if I don't have any papers and pen/pencil.

So hold your position and here is my Top 5:

5)

"Fear me, hate me for being the one who eliminates and hate light in my presence.
You cannot see me nor seek me as I am the darkness itself.
I do not seek wisdom nor justice but I do seek hatred and fear.
I will watch you in silent, motionless as my brothers and sister tear you apart through me.
I am their power and so as them.
I am what you fear, what you hate.
I am Prince of Darkness"




That is the caption i thought about it. Basically he is the medium, which is darkness itself. And being the middleman of other elements such as fear and despair. He basically is the space itself and he is the smaller but darker in strong light.

I think of it as my Top 5 because he was on my mind for days and when I finally wanted to draw him out, it took a lot of my time. But since it has a dirty background, this dropped to no.5.



4)



Ah..... the good old Naruto fan-art.This is by far my favorite fan-art and also my first group art.

That is the part where I finally decided on my style of art and since I have to finish 1 character at a time, this also took a lot of time.It was worth it. At first I finished Sasuke (the one in the middle if you don't know yet.) first, but I was lazy to finish everybody else so I made a solo art for Sasuke with a Sharingan (eye technique thingy for those who don't know about it.) in the background. You can view it HERE.


3)



I love those Marvel's The Incredible Hulk's angry close up expressions and I practiced it on papers. But I don't wanna draw The Hulk, I wanna draw something dark. Did I mention MMORPG? I love MMORPG. I love those Dungeons and Dragons theme. So, I combined those 2 making a bad *ss Warrior but it isn't dark enough. Apparently, turning off the lights and turning on a strong lights from above with a horn did actually work. Not to mention that crow on his shoulder too.

That is probably the first ever to create a nice background which it took me about half an hour of covering a layer on layers again and again, figuring out the mood.


2)



First impression of everybody else: " Is that Nero's arm? Why does he has 2?".

Man, i hate to say this but I have this concept of arm thingy when I was small when I was playing Chaos Legion. Google it, its nice. I wouldn't call it 'copying' but more of a 'inspiring'.

If you don't mind, the blue section is actually compressed visible energy which pulled onto his skin or else it will fade away like gas. Overall concept was kinda cliche but thats not the point.




The point is I try face swapping. His face is actually a celebrity. I know you guys won't believe me but I (*putting on Hipster's glasses*) listened to KPoP before Gangnam Style was popular. I even heard and didn't even bother to download the song because I knew that everybody will start sharing, turning on the music and dance till I get bored. Same goes to LMFAO.

Anyway, back to the point. He is T.O.P (yup, that's his name.) from the band Big Bang. Nothing to do with Sheldon Cooper or Stephen Hawking.




And the winner goes to.........

1)



Maybe you guys seen him or maybe heard of him in the TV series "Game Of Thrones". He is the actor Peter Dinklage. Great acting skills, great character presenting, and at a decent age. He is, no offense, a less fortunate height than average person. I personally liked him and his character making him the brain of his family. He plays the character of Tyrion Lannister a royal family member and a great leader full of snakes in his pockets.




This is my first time to attempt a complete portrait of a person. Its a little bit hard with the face but I love that freaking show too much. Man, I'm still waiting for season 3. I even have it on speed painting video. Do check it out here Youtube.




If you reach this sections then I thank you and bid you all farewell. If any of you wants a higher definitions as a wallpaper then you can head to myDeviantArt and download it. Don't worry its free.

Mood: Dizzy, Wish: Zombie Apocalyse

By that time, I already bought a tablet. I remembered I did not sleep at night and keep on practicing all night long. And having a pain in the back. Oh boy, let me tell you, it is really torturing but i felt that moment enjoyable (I'm not being a creep, am I?). Please take a look at the next of my art. I know it sucks and I am learning. Harsh comments are recommended actually but no flamming. :)

I still remember the good old Ben 10 airing on Cartoon Network. It was fun and i know I'm too old for it but nobody can stop me. Though I'm not very fond of the new grown up Ben. And HeatBlast is my favorite alien of all, aside of FourArms.


The flames are not that good because I was only sticking to the one and only default brush but the cracks looks kinda nice. It even shocked my brother who was also into drawing.

As for this, i had put so much effort on it yet the coloring are a bit off the outline. I learned how to make tattoos by creating a blend layer. The leaves on the trees were effortless. While I was experimenting on the brushes, I came across the scattering brushes. And it made life easier.

I live Chinese and Japanese traditional brush painting so much. And so, (i don't know where i got the confidence) and painted a beginner brush painting. It was bad, and the rib anatomy was off. But since it was my first time, my friends (audiences, or should I say, lab rats. Don't get offended, they are my close friends.) were so surprised that I could make this.

Though the words are generated by a website. I cant write in Mandarin though I am a Chinese. But I can speak it.

Anyone who played DoTA will know this guy. He is a badass carry, Terrorblade the Soul Keeper. I did not took a long time to finish this because of the outlines. At that time, I was learning to play DoTA, then for a short period of time, i quit. I changed t LoL (League of Legends) and been playing since then.













This is the part I struggle on my control of the tablet. Even know, I'm still not used to it. It is smoother than my usual pencil sketching but i had my great time on painting it. Its no a big deal.

Fresh new start and review on my past


Ah... Its a new start of a blogger's life. It must be weird for me to start a blog now (blog has been really trending back in my school days, yet i never use it before.). So for starters, i actually dedicate this blog for my dA. In case, you don't know, dA stands for DeviantArt, where all my junkies are there.

Lets review what I submitted there.



This is the first ever submitted on dA.
He is Killer Bee. You mostly likely known him from Naruto.
When i started this, I am just an amateur on Photoshop and I didn't have a tablet at all. SO this was all using pen tool.




And this is Kurosaki Ichigo. You can see from his hair that the coloring was not so well so as the blending. But, I had come across smudge tool and it works like a charm. That's when I started using smudge tool for every blending.



*Rolls eyes* Oh my gosh! I never thought that I would upload this to dA. This is so embarassing. I could hang myself right now. This is a sorceress for a competition (what was I thinking back then? How could I win with this), which I did not won. *sigh. Anyway I messed up the blending because I had no idea how the smudge brush got so hard until I figured out how to customize a brush.(thank god!)


Ops! Mistake spotted on the shadows. Lol that is a mistake but it is done by the filter. I had no idea what I did. At least I sketched and scanned it into the computer but still i have no money for the tablet. In case you guys are wondering, he is PhysiX, a b-boy dancer from River Crew and he is making an elbow stand(if I'm not mistaken).


Yes These do bring back old times memories(and embarrassment) where I struggled to learn Photoshop. I still do remember a friend of mine who used to use Photoshop(well. at least he has experience and a $100 tablet, but still sucks) and I kept asking him for tips and advice. All he told me was: "You gotta click click here and there to find out what it does." Obviously he doesn't want me to be successful in this field.

That made me furious and from that day I swear I'll beat him. 2 years later, I did it. I'm better than him.
