Announcement

  • Growing up in a cosmopolitan Singapore, influences are diverse and cultures converge. B grew up watching Sunday morning cartoons, Anime and spends most of his time reading Manga or spreading the centerfolds of pin up magazines. This random juxtaposition of influences and visual feast is reflective in B's contemporary art.

  • Making of CLEAR Campaign

    Wednesday, May 23, 2012 5:15PM / Members only

    Hi Guys, I got some request on my process of creating a character. I tot of doing a simple show and tell.

    First off, after getting a brief, I would usually create a series of loose sketches. It's for me to get the feel and look of the campaign as well as to look into the kind of clothings being donned on the character. Pose is also another key factor as well as some gadgets depending on the setting.

    Facial Expression / Head Studies

    Adding some gadgets
    Costumes approved. Pose studies
    Final Confirmation from clients.

    OK. Now for the coloring. Basically it's done in 6 steps. From a sketch to a refined sketch. Flat colors. Add shadow. Detailing and more fine tuning. It's the same process as THIS.
    Progress
    P>S: the main thing is always understand the reflectivity of flesh as compared to other materials. Basic 3D lightning fundamentals does apply to digital painting as well : ) peace, B

    Some monster designs as well. I don't have the 3D shots but you guys can click HERE for the game itself. They are based on various characteristic and animals such as bats, dogs, etc. Oh yes, there's also in game illusts done by me as well.
