Assassin

I suppose I've been either playing too much Assassin's Creed or am just so thoroughly in love with the game and it's concepts (especially part 2). So i guess here's my fan art for it.

There's a small twist on the medium used here. Base sketch done on Sony Ericsson's Xperia X10 phone and colors on Photoshop CS4 as usual.

Upload again.. I shall!

The Lone Rock

Whew! This was one heck of a piece to do.. and why the sigh of relief heading this post? Well, that's because there was a TIGHT deadline for this one. But I managed to finish it in time and i'm quite pleased with the turn out.

Done from scratch on CS4 using an Intuos 3.

Until I'm back.

P.S. I've also started tweeting. So click on the ''twitter'' button to follow.

Fire Benders

Wow! So after a LONG time, there's an upload after the last one with only a day's break in-between.
Anyway, this piece began with no direction whatsoever. I just kept painting over shapes and stuff I already put on the canvas and it gradually evolved into this.
This was due to a certain talk with Roshan this morning about ''exploration'' and the assassination of ''The Comfort Zone'' that we tend to get used to once we find something we know we can draw. We tend to get scared of exploration and refrain from venturing out into areas we're not familiar with and that leads to a certain ''mundane repetition'' in our work. Thanks bro. The eye-opening helped.

As usual, done with CS4 and my trusty Intuos 3. Also, I might upload a walkthrough of the process for this one sometime later so you can see where it started from.

Good Night All!

The Bunny in the Moon

The feeling never went away.. It's as fresh as the first time it happened.. You think I'd be used to it by now.. But I remember everything about her.. Her smell.. Her smile.. The way she blinked her eyes.. The way her hair fell. Sometimes it's almost like she never left.. just sometimes.
You know that bunny people talk of? The one they say you can see when you look at the moon?
Well, Selena always loved bunnies.. those cute fluffy little things..
I guess she'll always be my bunny.. My snow bunny.

Done on CS4 using an Intuos 3.

So until I get time to upload the next one, here's me signing out.

When you wish upon a star

Yes, Yes, I'm back. You didn't think I'd let an entire month go by without atleast ONE upload didja?

But more on this piece later as time isn't something I have generous quantities of at the moment.

Until update.

Point Blank

Alright! Time for the narcissist in me to rear his head again! This was a quickie done at work, using CS4 & an Intuos 3, of me and a gun. I'm more of a sword/knife person though so I thought "why not just this once?"

NOTE: If you look carefully, the handle on the spectacles isn't a "rough" bit, it's because one of my spectacle handles is fine while the other broke due to one alcohol-based night and resulted in "handyman repair" mode the next time alcohol was around, by me manually sitting down for half an hour an attaching a sturdy wire to my glasses with a LOT of winding and winding and winding.

I Am Genius!

Yes, I know I've been inactive for quite a while and I suppose most of that credit goes to the fact that I've been tied down with work.

OBSERVATION: "Clients" are strange beings (most of them atleast).

NOTE: Alcohol is awesome! Ladies, the way to a guy's heart is through their stomach (or lower regions in most cases I suppose) but with me, sing me a Whiskey Lullaby and I'll do thy bidding.

Until the next post.

Mariachi

Ok..here's me starting off the 1st of March.

Now, the reason for the title is because the only song playing through the creation of this piece was the Desperado soundtrack, El Mariachi by the Gypsy Kings. Hmm.. now, I'm gonna keep this post short for the profound reason that I really don't know what else to say.

Hope ya'll had a good february!

Love & Nails,
Myke.
