League of Legends: Kayle

Another of my favorite characters in LoL, Kayle. The original line art for this was done with Morgana beside Kayle, but I preferred to color my more favorite one and this was the outcome.

League of Legends: Sona

A fan-art of one of my favorite characters in League of Legends. I like my lines but in hindsight my coloring could use more work.

Sumer Fun

Another of my older works from 2010, sadly due to school I was unable to upload this before.
This was supposed to be a Power Girl fanart/pinup using a photo reference from google. Personally I'm not happy with this work's background, might redo this sometime in the future

Old works

The picture above was done during my first year of college. This painting is done by painting over a picture of the Japanese bullet train, making it into a stylized cartoony work.

Revival

School has bogged me down for the past year so let be restart this blog by posting my most recent matte painting.

This is a concept art for my thesis; this is a matte painting of my vision of a post apocalyptic Philippines. The base photo is an old picture of Ayala Avenue in Makati City, and the rest is digitally rendered with a mix of digital painting and textures.

The Man of Steel

Superman! This was supposed to be an entry for Toycon Philippine's DC Fanart contest I wasn't able to submit it before the deadline though because of my Saturday class schedule. I'm thankful for the kind staff for letting me display it amongst the contestants though.

Creation process. I used Cristopher Reeve's 1970's superman pictures as reference for this one. However I made some drastic changes. In my opinion Chris' superman was more on the athletic body type rather than the comic's bulkier build. So thats where I let my creativity flow, I added more bulk to everything. Though Christopher Reeve's features are barely noticable in my painting I think people will still know my work as superman even if i removed the S on his chest.

Thanks for reading and I'll make sure to find a contest that I can reach the deadline with next time.

Big Red

Who said people who spent too much time watching movies and reading comic books were useless?

Iron man, done this right after watching Iron Man two. Bought a copy of IFX that day, and read a particular article on clouds which I found very useful for this piece.

I was experimenting on the drawing elements of Metal and Clouds. The clouds were done first in this piece, thanks to the guide from the magazine and my other reference books. Metal however was a different story, no matter how much I read and reread my reference materials I couldn't get it right the first few times. Even now I think I haven't fully grasped painting metal. I can say however, I've learned at least two of its aspects.

One is that metal's color varies depending on the environment. For example the reflection on the gold plating, aside from having a white sheen, the sky's color adds to it making it a tad bit blue/grey instead of pure white.

Two, the color of metal increases in saturation as it begins to get darker, and decreases in saturation as it becomes lighter.(Correct me if I'm wrong here.)

Well I'll keep this one short. Thanks for reading.
