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. Follow me on facebook to keep up with more casual works that I do and post everyday –> www.facebook.com/hahuyhoang.art

Jedi Ninja Spock Na’vi

A little print I was selling at A.P.E (Alternate Press Expo) in San Francisco a few weeks ago. And of course, for those who have been following me, it’s the next installment in my series of Mash-up art. This time it’s Spock in a Ninja outfit, holding a Jedi lightsaber, having a Na’vi braid and of course, he’s on Pandora. Enjoy.

Brave

Someone suggested me to draw a Brave fan art the other day. And I did it. I rarely draw any Pixar/Disney’s fan art since they have perfect designs for the characters already, any attempt at recreating those marvels into my own style is not worth it. But then again, drawing is fun.

Animation: Justice League

 

Facebook: www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=1…

After 3 months of the summer animating from time to time gradually, I finally finished this short animation test for the characters from DC Comics’ Justice League for personal practice. I set for myself a time limit of approximately 5 seconds to show all the powers of each character, including: Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, The Flash, Green Lantern (Hal Jordan), Hawk Girl, and Martian Manhunter.

The images of the characters are a little bit different from the character designs because I simplified them a little bit for the sake of animating them easier. This time I got for myself a lot of useful and interesting experience from animating these, more than the last time with The Avengers (watch here www.youtube.com/watch?v=SnTNer… )

The song in this is the Justice League Animated Series Theme Song.

These are done with Photoshop CS and Adobe After Effects. All characters belong to DC Comics, and this animation was done only for educational purpose, no commercial use.

 

Tomb Raider

I actually never play any game, but I’ve been trying to open my drawing topics outside my comfort zone a little bit. And in the occasion of the new Lara Croft reboot with a pretty neat design, I threw out some spins on it with the combination with her traditional braided pony tail.

REVIEW: Pacific Rim (2013)

Pacific Rim (2013) – 10/10

Bởi vì bài hôm trước (https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10151680986374111&set=a.10150629747494111.407877.533129110&type=1&theater) bị quá nhiều người khi share đi các nơi comment là “review fan boy quá, không đáng tin” (???), nên phải viết bài này để phân tích kỹ những cái hay cái dở của phim để đỡ đầu cho những cái hú hét của mình ở bài trước.

Hepburn

I was drawing this out of memory, so please excuse the not similarity on the face. But yeah, I admire Audrey Hepburn’s beauty, even though I haven’t seen any of her movie, but I will seek them out and see them really soon.
