Merry Christmas and Happy new year~

This is an illustration to show the life of robot, he has the big body and full of old buildings elements of Hong Kong like some steel curtain and some light bulbs placement on whole body, his name is “Da Bao” who is a street food robot, and he likes working on the night so I designed some lighting signboards on his back of body. In the society of Hong Kong, street food is a famous and traditional foodstuffs, people would easy to buy it, street food like some animals organ and used the wood stick to string up the food and sell to people. All the food would locate in the box of robot’s hands. Some people and child would buy the food from “Da Bao” so many people like him. And because the day near the Mid Autumn festival, I put some lanterns for him to selling for children; I believe that they would more happy and cheerful.

Also this is the series of robot charactor design part, let me share other charactors and data for you, thank you.

This monster would appear in comic named"DevaShard", people may go there to see the story of it. http://www.fluidfriction.com/en/gallery/concept_art Therefore, let me to share some parts of this monster design for you~ thank you

Finally this new be shown in SingTao New's paper.

World in peace

The theme of the piece is around “WAR”. We know that are terrible and sentimental affair. So many people would lose their life, particularly soldier, they need fight down enemy. No escape and excuse, just fight with gun and brave. Unfortunately, some of soldier would die in war, their partner would bury them. Those view excited my imagination. In this piece, I drew the robot that represent the people who donate their life for country and the atmosphere of lighting tend to harmony and fit the mood “REST IN PEACE (RIP)”. Also the soldier stands near by the robot to remember past event….

And there are some close up and process about the drawing task~

1)Frist, i find some visual reference to excite my imagination. I took it from park. And deform the robot from the tree.

2)After sketching, i tuned the color mood base on the theme "RIP" It should be warmand harmony.

3)Finally, i drew it more detail and builded up some color option such as overlay, and color burn from texture. Also i add the soldier on last step.

Shining Castle

The idea of this piece is based on “Fortress”. It gave me the feeling on durable, and protected. So I deformed the suit of white armor for the character and created some metal-tend image to the armor design. And finally I tuned the red to showed the contrast between her to background, so that to separate the view between her and background.

The following is some steps about this drawing, thank you~

City Attack

This is the series of "WAR LINE" that expressed the large war between robot and soldier. For desicribe a dangerous condition, i used different color to represent the variation of battle. Also the mission of the soldier is protect the city and fight with the electric robot ,but they seems like fail to against with it~ In this piece, i would like to emphsis the color tune to seperate the foreground and background, and also the color meaning~ danger with varible battle.

And i used the simple 3D model as the perspective guide, and maped the photos to the surface~

3D Rolax motor design (modeling)

This is the 3D model by Maya, it is good try for approaching the feild to 3D.

the series pieces would show the texture, lighting and the pose of Motor.

Rolax Motor

This is my new piece named “Wake up! P-Angel”. The story is about the white hair girl, the owner of P-Angel, to find out her partner who lost at white universe. This is the main motor of P-Angel. Finally, she found it at one secret space of white universe. After that she used her pure-force to wake it up and leave out from there and back to her country for protection. For the operation of this CG, I used Photoshop to paint the color and adjusted white color tune to express the feeling of pure; the feeling of lighting seems like representing church. Also, there are not many colors changing within for balancing the composition of whole objects.

And also i drew some sketches to show the structure of this robot, enjoy it~

Comic World 23 cover design

This is the cover for Comic World 23 Hong Kong, i used pencil to draw the draft, and fill color by

photoshop. In Hong kong, most teenage like the Japanese style of charactor, and also the cute elements, the features of whole things should be simple~

Resurrection

This is one of illustrations of my story, it is talking about the robot war happened on ancient period. The robot is made bystone, metal, and pillar. For expressing the mood of resplendent, i made the light effect came from one side, and tuned the color more golden.

The light of Kowloon City

This is the night view of old Kowloon city around 60-70’s period but now we are difficult to find it again because of Government’s policy. Therefore, I try to find this element in historical ancient area and history center in Hong Kong. I took many photos and those excited me to draw about the view of Kowloon city. I created the night view to express the lighting extended from buildings, and also mixed with some shop signs and Leon lights. These elements are features of Hong Kong light view.For the couple, I want to express the life mix with their house, they feel relax to sit on the shop sign. For the drawing style, I used painter with pastel brush and try to use more color tune to express the colorful world.

WAR Frontline

My piece named “The War Line” The war between human and robot. I would like to show the “Bullet condition”, and the “Hot” feeling more, I build up some red dodge in some parts. Some soldiers keep run to dangerous area and fight with the robot. What is the result of this war? I think nobody would know.I used photoshop to paint the draft and finally to tune the colors. And the lighting effect is developed by dodge and lightens. And this is first time to approach on theme of WAR.

The following are the some process of this piece

Sketch about hair

That is the speed sketch to train some photoshop brush test, to show about the hair expression.

I used painter 9 to finished the color part~

Memorial lion

This is a story between god lion and girl. They know each other because of fortuity. They set up the friendship each other in the world. Finally, they are full in love, however, their love makes the god feel anger, because the god does not think the person and god cannot be in love, so god punlish the girl, change her into a flower. The god lion feel so sad and decide face-off to god.In this piece, i used the mono-tune to express the classical feeling and belance the lashing form of machine. Also this is the centre (symmetry) composition piece. It would make the focal point more clear.

Scorpio

This piece named "Scorpio". It would like to represent that although she only a girl, she have the powerful skills. I like this contrast of it. I used red tune to show the mood of bloody and life. Also for enhancing the metal feeling of piece, i composit so many metal element inside the piece. I find that painter is a good tool for me to enjoy the drawing process.

Sagittarius

This piece was drew by painter and adjusted by photoshop. I used the red tune to create the warm mood, and also used the contrast color to excite whole objects. Besides, i seperated the girl and the people on the background by using red to blue color. About the structure of piece i used 1/3 position for the girl.

Blossom

This is my new piece named “Blossom Aquarius”. I would like to express the lighting from the bottom to emphasis the mysterious feeling; also I choose the blue tune color to show the energy of Aquarius. For the action of the piece, I attempted to express the time of blossom. It means the machine represented flower and the woman represented life of water. Machine and woman communicate together.

Space Protector

This is my new piece named “Space Protector”. She is the character of my story, and her mission is that protect “The gate of the world” all people and monster would not be allowed to enter this place, except God. If someone who want to enter to this place, she would treat them as the enemy and eliminate them. You may treat her as the protect system on the space. The concept come from “Deformation” so the equipments and machine of her body seems like be separated. Therefore, it looks like a bit complex. Also the area is no “Gravitation”condition, so some asunder would float in the wind.Also this is a symmetric structure, and the scale of the whole piece above 1:3. Because it looks like wider.

The Princess of Soul

She is the emissary of Plutonian named “MIGALIS”. Her mission is that transfers the soul from the world and leads them to dead domain. People cannot see her body, but the animal can. It explains that why animal can detect the catastrophe early.

Emissary would not notify human about disaster because she thinks that human’s behavior let the world become more sinister. So she not opens her eyes to look the world. In this piece, I used photoshop to make some new brush head to draw this. The style is more different before. And also want to show the feeling of cool and pure.
