The wonderful design is handled by Jasmine from You&Me. You can drop by Parka’s Blog or Halcyon Realms for a preview on the book. The book is already on sales in my online store. It’s priced at 32, but i will be selling it at 29.90 during the STGCC event. The event will happens this week , 20 to 21 August at Suntec Singapore. I will be having a booth there. Booth Number G24.

Magenta. 1/20 Sci-Fi Resin Figure sculpted by Orange 3D. Design By Me, Raytoh. The project started off as something very casual. Orange 3D is looking for a possible character design for his mecha ( Trex Mech ) that he working on. Looking at the mecha, I’m kind of inspire and thus Magenta was created. For those that are interested in the resin kit, you can actually go to Orange 3D and buy it from his online store. Stocks are limited. Ken Moo from everything, anything better than nothing did a small interview with orange 3D ( Sonny Sy ). Do feel free to check it out.

Hi all. Finally manage to find time to share with everyone my process on working on the Compaq project that I have done quite some time ago.
Agency: PMG Asia
Associate Interactive Creative director: Juliana Goh
Client: Compaq
Link for the site: http://h20426.www2.hp.com/campaign/compaq/sg/en/index.asp
01. My basic involvement is to provide all the illustrated elements for the game area which includes one main map which was use for the opening page, three areas and some small elements here and there. I was given a rough idea what Juliana wants and I kick off the project by doing some sketches.

02. Once the line is confirmed and we are set in a clear direction I started to paint the illustration. I’m using mainly Photoshop for this and an intous 3 wacom tablet.
03. All the stuff is in layers. For a style like this, I basically path out the element first before I start painting. Since I wanted it to look 3D-ish, the edges of the elements need to be very sharp and clear, but the tonal transition inside the element can be smooth and airbrush like. Lighting wise, I’m thinking of sometime neutral. More towards natural sky light. In 3D term, I think it’s something like a dome lighting.

04. Final Look


05. Once my illustration is complete, Juliana and her design team took the psd file and animated it, giving it more life.

Hi All.
Following up with the posting done by Drew and Zid. Some drawings i did during the figure drawing session on 30 Jan 2010 in Substation. Went in late and abit unprepare so i ended up using my trusty mechanic pencil and a graphite pencil. As for the paper, i’m using a earthbound recycled sketchbook by Daler Rowney. Thanks Ag and Mike for putting this session togther.
