St.Lucifer's Academy













St.Lucifer's Academy Cover/ Information page/ Title page/ Back cover
Ink + watercolor + photoshop


This is the very last project of this semester+_+

St.Lucifer's Academy is a story i made up several months ago.
The characters were already designed last summer during my reading pop culture class.
i'm still trying to bring things more solid. 
I'm hoping that this really goes somewhere...

Since i'm not a good writer... i'm not sure if i should make it into a book,
I'm not sure about graphic novel either... maybe i'll do that idk
i was thinking maybe i can do webtoon kind of thing but ~_~ i suck at digital painting so..
for now nothing's certain;
I'm not really much of a narrative art(?) person.......

But yeah these are just for my school projects :)
if i had to do a real book cover... 
then i would not start working on it the night before. lol

Earth Day Teddy Bear Poster...



Teddy needs love! (earth day poster illustration)
10"x20", gouache on illustration board


This is an illustration for earth day poster.
At first my prof didn't approve of my teddy bear idea 
but i managed to persuade him ;).
He said during the critique that i totally sold the idea to him lol
and he liked my work at the and and gave me an A  
I really enjoyed working on this too.

The concept is simple : Embrace nature like we embrace teddy bears!
I really tried hard to think of something unconventional for an earth day poster 
but still maintain some traditional nature elements.
So i painted this giant teddy bear made of plant. lol

this is my first gouache piece in like 2 years or so but i realized again how awesome medium it is...
This became one of my favorites ;D

Galaxy Express 999 Vignette Illustrations...


Galaxy Express 999 Vignette Illustrations +_+!


 

Tetsuro & his mommy +_+

Count Mecha ~_~
(I actually really like this one +_+)


Ink & Gouache Resistance technique on watercolour paper
i'm not sure what sizes they are...

Anyway, I did 3 vignettes, 2 of them are shown above, and the other one isn't.
It's because i hate it lol
This was the very first time for me to do vignettes, so there were many things 
that i had to keep in mind unlike a full page illustration...

And just like before, editing this on computer was pain in my ass....
Being this my first time doing a vignette, i kind of screwed up on the whole layout :x
I had to pre plan things more before i start painting the actually vignettes;
because later on one of them (which i didn't post) did not fit, so i had to scale it down 
and it looks absolutely horrible....
but i am glad i screwed up 
because i struggled so much with this that i actually learned something new...
