Monocle Diorama

More cartoony stuff. I was torn between two concepts when I started this doodle -- some kid riding on a dinosaur and an ornery man with a monocle -- in the end I just lumped the two together. The guy somehow ended up looking like an older Inspector Gadget...

Little Frogger

More doodles! I promised Celesse that I'd draw my version of her character Frog, and a dose of cuteness is exactly what I needed right now! Chances are that I'll do a full-fledged illustration of this adorable little fellow when I'm less busy, but this will do for now.

Came out a bit darker than what I had in mind, but I like all the various hues of red. AND HE'S SO CUTE.

You Were There

I haven't really posted any new art for a while now. I'm mostly preoccupied with freelance work these days, but I decided to take off a couple of hours and do some personal doodles today.

My friend Hai and I agreed to do a rendition of the two main characters from ICO almost one year ago. He finished his picture on the same day, and I kept procrastinating. I always wanted to do this huge, magnificent illustration -- my attempt to do this wonderful game justice. Realizing it would probably never happen that way, I made a compromise with myself: I'll do a quick drawing of Ico and Yorda now, with the option to do a full painting later!


I experimented a bit with the sketchy lines, a more cartoony style (similar to the one I used in my The Secret Garden picture), and Photoshop's painting tools. It was very relaxing not having to worry about clean inks and polishing the colors. I should do more rough pictures like this!
