Art Update



Here is what i am up to lately.  Just a  teaser. This one's for a collaboration with a fellow vexel artist friend.
I 'll let you know when we are done with it. I am really excited with this project, because it's my first collaboration ever. I hope we can pull this off.  

Been struggling on making vector art lately. I just felt gloomy and lazy all of a sudden these past few weeks.
But i am glad it's all over. It's just sometimes life is nerve breaking, when you feel like your not making progress or seeing any difference with what your are doing.

Summer season is another thing, i just can't stand the heat. It's hard to do something with this awful weather.
it's ridiculous, i even feel my laptop is on fire.

Work In Progress

Playing with vector elements:




Lineart:

Coloring:

Here's what i 'am up to recently. I started making vector elements these past few days and decided to try them out. I 'am liking it so far, I been wanting to make this for a long time and I 'am happy i finally did it. 
I really got influenced by the works of Sebastien Cuypers
   and Jared K Nickerson. I only made six elements to play with for now and will make more. I hope these small steps will help me create an iconic and playful designs like them in the future. I 'm dreaming of having my own t-shirt label. Thats why I 'am trying to create my own designs. It's hard to be original these days. But i want my design to be an evolution of my inspirations and how i see them in a different perspective. But for now, i need to prioritize my web design skills because it's also one of my dream jobs. Took a one year diploma course and started going to school  again, september last year. Finally, on my last four months before graduating. Funny thing is that i haven't made a decent website and it's really frustrating. The coding part distracts me from designing a website. It's a pain, but i have to face the fear of coding or else i 'll be stuck in a quicksand forever. I 'll just do it, so i could make myself a nice portfolio site. and revamp the appearance of my blog.

Self Portrait


A vector portrait of myself.
Finally a decent one. I had several attempts before but failed.
Funny but i find it hard to vector myself than other people.

Poster Art


I made this poster design yesterday as an entry submission for a contest at shadowness website.
This was inspired by a tutorial i read on psd tuts. These are one of the styles
I have been wanted to make and develop for a long time. I 'm glad i read that tutorial, and learned
some new tricks. Funny though, this wasn't the output i was hoping for. I still have issues executing my concepts and ended up wasting too much time. I hope my negative thoughts won't distract me next time.

Speed Vector Practice. I did this within thirty minutes and colored it for 10 minutes. 
I had fun doing this, and will make it a practice from now on. :)
