Wallpaper pack: Tube

Wallpaper pack: Tubes by =Waterdroplet-s on deviantART

Wallpaper version of 3D CG I posted yesterday. Modified slightly with Photoshop CS3.

correction notice & 3D CG

I think I will completely change the script of p.4-5 of TLOF Ch.2.3 to make the story flow better.


Anyway, 3D CG I did last night:

Tubes by =Waterdroplet-s on deviantART

Sofwares Used:
Cinema 4D R11 studio

Time it took:
1-2 hours of modeling, 7 hours of rendering

DOF practice

A little practice with DOF for my next 3D CG using this tutorial. I'm going to incorporate it into illustration once again- but more 3D looking than last time. I think I will get working on manga after that.

Software used:
Cinema 4D R11 studio
Time it took:
a few min

Illustration: .S.A.K.ura.

.S.A.K.ura. by =Waterdroplet-s on deviantART

since the file became >100mb, can't work on it anymore. I made this since I wanted to do some hardcore painting for change though fully digital.

This was meant to be a normal street scene and as I was playing with bokeh concept, it became 桜(sakura- cherry in Japanese). So, I changed the fellah's shirt to make it look slightly Japanese-ish. Or intended to.


Softwares used:
Comic Studio Ex 4.0
Photoshop CS2/3
Corel Painter X

Time it took:
3 days

just a practice

Cinema 4D practice. ~1 hour.

Just duplicates of the same wheel thing on right, just changed it with melt, shatter, wind, etc.


Since it was just a practice, I didn't really adjust lighting and etc.

p.s.

Since I got the permission from the director of posting DVD cover, here it is:

A poster for "Turn, Smile, Shift, Repeat" (2008) is finally released!!



by Versus the World Production

It's a poster I helped out a couple of months ago as my first commission work. I was requested to do it in a style of Life Aquatic book cover- water color/coloring pencil kind of style.

YAAAAAH!


I'm currently working on 3D CG model for the next manga page and will begin my next commission work- CD cover for the UK band once I finish with it.

Thank you!

TLOF Ch. 3 p.5

The next page will be pretty big mihiraki so I took just a few hours to create this one. So, it might be a bit sloppy compared to others.

3D CG: Fallen

Fallen by =Waterdroplet-s on deviantART

inspired by typography

The curse... is it broken yet?

What's the main news this week in my area, it's Colonel Sanders Statue from KFC.

Colonel stages a comeback - The Japan Times


supposedly, the curse was lifted when he was found on this Tues.

Similar to the curse of Bambino of Red Sox, Boston baseball team, there is an urban legend that since someone dumped Colonel Sanders into a river in Namba, Japan 24 years ago, Hanshin Tigers, Kansai's baseball team, hasn't won Japanese version of World Series. Well... actually, for the past 40 years or something but that's not important.

Yeah... it was strange since I was riding a train on Wed on the way to work, and saw that sludge covered statue on the front page of sports newspapers and major newspapers. They say that if they converted the media's airtime featuring that statue with how much they spend on ads, it will be ~ 27 million yen, half a month worth of profit of KFCs in Japan.

Baseball fans are happy, KFCs are happy, one TV show that always searched for that statue for the past decade is happy, and yep, that's what's filling Japanese newspapers and TV for this week.


It must have been amusing to be standing on a few meters of sludge for 20 something years, since he's still smiling.

:p

I am still working on the next illustration. Dunno when it will be up, but it's starting to look better than before

Update

I'm currently working on an illustration and getting myself ready for the next possible commission,

CD jacket for a rock band in UK. :)

It's a group that's about to have a pro debut soon.

I think I will be working on the next manga page after I finish with these illustrations or while I do commission.

Since intuos3 came yesterday, I tried it out on my next manga page and finished 2 koma out of 6.

This is the souvenir that my friend brought from her relatives' place. Nearby, there's Obama City, Japan XD




Meet Obaman (dumpling/bun with red bean paste) from Obama wo katte ni ouen suru kai (Society that cheers Obama as one pleases)(dunno the translation for this)

It's filled with red bean paste and was yummy.

Anyway, a song I might get once it comes out on album:

時代 by 上松秀実(Jidai by Uematsu Hiromi)

not much's happening

Since I didn't noticed that there was another extra page to manga before mihiraki=have to redraw name.

So, only yesterday did I start drawing the next page.

I often study Photoshop/drawing techniques, and the latest book I'm studying is:

(from http://www.mdn.co.jp/content/view/6526/)

The one before was:

(from http://www.mdn.co.jp/content/view/5810/)


They are books I like since it gives tips in easy way.

Anyway, using the former book and tweaked a bit more, I got this:


I might use this technique in future for an illustration :p

Doodle... :p
