The new gallery!

admin — Wed, 14 Oct 2009 17:20:18 +0000

The new gallery is up and running. Currently only have the famous Red Jungle Fowl series. In this new gallery, you will be able to view the paintings without loading multiple pages, which saves a lot of time. Also, in the future, you can sort paintings so that (for example) you can only view Acrylic paintings, or paintings that is currently available for purchase. Please leave a comment or two of what you think of this.

Also, I would like to know whether to create a separate mini shopping cart for my products like Jungle Jokes and Damai independently on this site.

New Server, Gallery Is Down For Major Rework.

admin — Wed, 07 Oct 2009 07:16:12 +0000

The site moved to a new server (Cluster’s of them). What that means is the site will be ultra fast and uptime will be 100%. For the Gallery section, a major rework is undergoing. A massive amount paintings images are collected, (from the 80’s until now) together with somewhat limited information, including but not limited to Medium, Size, Year and Collector. Also the new Gallery will show which paintings are still available for sale or rent. Also, I was thinking of including a mini shopping cart on this site. Please leave any comments, suggestions below.

[SBS] Baby Elephant Page 56-57 Step 1

admin — Tue, 04 Nov 2008 11:13:34 +0000

Click to enlarge

Baby Elephant(title unconfirmed) is a new folklore book I’m currently making. Its a story about a baby elephant’s adventure to travel troughout the Malaysian forest, finding a sanctuary for animals. This is a step-by-step record on how I paint the illustration. This is for the page 56 and 57, where the baby elephant and fellow monkey meet with a group of bears, and together they perform a ‘dikir barat’ to celebrate flower season. Notice how some of them are injured after a great honey hunt.

So here’s step 1, this a sketching of how the layout of the page will be. This is where the whole book’s worth of planning is. This is made with pen on my free time. After some alteration, I choose this layout, scene, and camera angle. This is step 1, not a preparation or planning. This is just as important as the other steps and should be treated as such.

Just revamped the look to give ‘fresher’ and ‘brighter’ feel to it. Although this new look doesn’t goes too well with short posts. The current header image is only temporary while I’m looking for a better one. If you have any comments or suggestions please do so in the comment section or email me directly.
