Monkey Goes West

If you’ve been following me, you’ll know that I’ve done a Monkey King picture a while ago. But now I want to try something new, experimenting some new stylization approaches, a new modernized design and I quite like the result. So I hope you enjoy it. For more frequent updates of my art works, especially sketches, follow me on facebook ->>> www.facebook.com/hahuyhoang.ar…

Babayaga’s house

Babayaga’s chicken legged house. This was a wonderful experiment with brushes and colors. Like some of you may realize, I’ve been trying to vary my rendering style a little bit to give it a more painterly feel compare to the clean and simple cell shading like before.

Mermaid?

I went a bit too crazy with the brush in this one. But good experiment is still good anyway. I’ve seen some amazing creative mermaids, so I had to do something out of the norm for this.

Griffin

Another sketch_dailies submission. This time it’s the Griffin. I’ve never done a griffin before. This was fun, and was a good experiment for my rendering style. I’m changing my style bit by bit.

The real Sherlock

I’ve been catching up with the online challenge Sketch_dailies on facebook and twitter where they give you a daily topic to draw, and I’m enjoying it so much. This one is of course, for the topic Sherlock Holmes. I’ve always been a fan of Sherlock Holmes ever since I was a kid, so naturally I want to give my own spin on the character.

The Wolf Animation

These are some fun animation I did with my original character/avatar/persona… whatever you call it – The Wolf. One of them was based on Avatar: The Last Airbender.

Animated traditionally with Toonboom Harmony, edited in Adobe After Effects.

Holding Hands

Final for Intro to Anatomy – 2 nude poses, one front and one back in the same drawing. I used 2 reference photos from http://figuresfordrawing.tumblr.com/ (NSFW) and put them together, and that’s a happy accident that they seem to be holding hands.

This was done on 11×14 paper with graphite pencils, and the teacher kept it for reference. It was kinda big for my scanner so the image quality is not very good here.

Review: Doctor Who (phần 2)

Sau khi đọc đi đọc lại review Doctor Who mà mình viết trước đây mấy lần (đọc ở đây https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10151046631239111&set=a.10150629747494111.407877.533129110&type=3&theater) mình mới phát hiện ra là review đó thiếu sót quá nhiều thứ. Vậy nên trước khi đọc tiếp, bạn hãy đọc lại review cũ theo link trên để biết sơ qua về show này.Review này mình viết chủ yếu là phân tích vào những lý do tại sao show này lại hay, và chủ yếu là từ những nhận định của mình nhảy ra khỏi đầu khá random nên cấu trúc bài viết có thể không được thể thống cho lắm, mong các bạn thông cảm:

– Doctor Who là 1 show có khả năng thỏa mãn tất cả mọi người với tất cả các sở thích khác nhau về điện ảnh. Bởi vì mỗi tập phim của Doctor Who gần như là 1 thể loại điện ảnh hoàn toàn khác hẳn, và đôi khi sẽ khiến cho bạn cảm thấy như show này trở thành 1 show hoàn toàn mới chứ không nhất quán theo 1 công thức cố định nào. Nó có thể là phim kinh dị, phim hài, phim tâm lý, phim tình cảm, phim thiếu nhi, phim phiêu lưu, phim hành động, phim viễn tưởng, phim lịch sử, phim thần thoại, phim sử thi, phim trinh thám, phim tội phạm, phim theo kiểu retro, phim noir… Tất cả, vâng, TẤT CẢ các thể loại điện ảnh trên đời này, bạn hoàn toàn có thể tìm thấy trong Doctor Who. Có thể nó sẽ rơi vào từng tập phim, có thể nó sẽ là một sự kết hợp cực kỳ khéo léo và tinh tế giữa các thể loại khác nhau,… Và dù bạn có là fan của thể loại phim nào đi nữa, hoặc là thể loại truyện nào đi nữa, bạn cũng sẽ được thỏa mãn với Doctor Who.

50 years in Space and Time

I’ve been drawing a collection of caricatures of all 12 Doctors from Doctor Who, including Peter Capaldi, who will be replacing Matt Smith this Christmas. This was done for the occasion of the 50th anniversary of Doctor Who, the longest running sci-fi TV Show of all time. I got my ticket and am planning to go to the 3-D screening in theatre for the 50th anniversary episode this Saturday – Nov 23rd, exactly 50 years after the very first episode aired on BBC with William Hartnell.

I started watching Doctor Who the new series last year – 2012, and became obsessed by it because of the wonderful, beautiful, creative, and emotional stories that the show brings. To me watching DW is like watching every single genre of films ever, from comedy to sci-fi, from romance to horror, from fantasy to detective, from film noir to art house… everything. Every episode feels like a super good feature film, and they all crossover in incredible bigger story arcs that will blow your mind every time. It’s not about The Doctor himself, it’s not about all the gimmick of CGI, it’s not even about how hot The Doctor or the companions are. It’s all about good stories, and inventive ideas. Now I have seen many TV series, but Doctor Who is hands down the best of all.

Happy Birthday, Doctor Who.

Inktober

All of my #inktober entries in one image. It was a fun and challenging experience for me since ink is really not a tool that I’m confident of using. But through this challenge, I did a lot of experiments, both in using brush pen, markers, new tools, and in opening up the fields of content that I don’t usually do.
