To the new land

This is the 2 point perspective assignment that I did in the class Perspective I was having in Spring 2012 at the AAU, with the help of instructor Joko Budiono.

I posted a sketch version of this picture before, as it follows the journey of an unnamed monk who travels through a fantasy land inspired by the world of Samurai Jack and Avatar: The Last Airbender.

 

Animation Final

This is the final project for the class ANM 260 Traditional Animation 2 that I took this Fall at the Academy of Art University, San Francisco. Instructor: Michael Vickner

The project is to produce a short animation where a character interact with a ball. In this one I used my original character Woot.

I animated this with the Animation feature in Adobe Photoshop CS 5.5 and Adobe After Effects. The music was “The Last Breathe” (Hơi thở cuối) by Nu Voltage.

Woot: Wrath of the Bunnivor

It’s been a long time since I did something for my original characters. So here’s something for the characters I made up for a project that has never been scripted – The Woot. This is kind of a concept for a story where Bunnivor goes riot on the Time Forest, where Woot and Chitty have been protecting for quite a long time. This is also for the challenge from the AAU Comic Book Club, the topic is to do something other than Marvel and DC Comics characters.

SCOOBY-DOO!!! WHERE ARE YOU????

Finally, I’m done with this one. Drawing for the AAU Comic book club’s challenge: Draw a Saturday Morning Cartoon in your own style. I chose Scooby-Doo not because I was a big fan of it, I liked it, but I wasn’t a fan, but because it’s one of the most iconic Saturday Morning Cartoons ever made by Hanna-Babera. The classic version was hilarious even though animation was not that good.

By the way, if you guys do have a facebook, please take a look at my facebook page where I post many interesting things that I don’t post here. Here’s the link to my profile [link]

—————————
Sunday At The Park is a short-comic project I’ve been working on for the last 4 months. The writer Jesse Young (http://writejessewrite.wordpress.com/) wrote the script based on the poem “Casey At The Bat” by Ernest Thayer, and hired me for the job, when he thought my drawing style fits the story the best.

I decided to
use this script in my final assignment for the Perspective class by Joko Budiono that I took last semester at the AAU and it paid off well. But not until now I got the time to finish the colors and let the professional letterer Thomas Mauer (http://www.thomasmauer.com/) to blow his magic into it.

So here it is, the first short-comic that I’ve ever felt really satisfied with.

——————-

Sunday At The Park là 1 truyện tranh ngắn mình làm trong suốt 4 tháng qua. Tác giả kịch bản Jesse Young viết cái này dựa trên bài thơ “Casey At The Bat” bởi Ernest Thayer, và thuê mình vẽ, vì ông ý nghĩ là phong cách của mình phù hợp.
Mình quyết định sử dụng kịch bản này cho bài tập cuối kỳ môn Phối Cảnh của thầy Joko Budiono mà mình học kỳ trước ở trường AAU, và kết quả khá khả quan. Nhưng mà tận bây giờ mới có thời gian để tô màu và gửi cho người sắp chữ chuyên nghiệp Thomas Mauer làm việc của mình.
Đây, truyện ngắn đầu tiên mà mình cảm thấy thỏa mãn :P.

The Wacky Avengers

As promised, this is the Avengers fan art I just did, based on the movie. I wanted to go with a kind of wacky designs for the characters, and wanted to refresh my drawings style a little bit. I’m planning on selling some prints for this at the AAU Fall Comics Symposium this Thursday at the Comic Book Club booth. If you have time, please drop by and take a look :).

On the ledge

This was originally intended for the Draw It Again contest, but then I realized that fan art is not allowed. The design is inspired by Frank Miller’s The Dark Knight Returns.

Here’s the Batman piece that I did in 2008, 4 years ago.

Hope you’ll like it 🙂

Wondercat Widow and Batpool

Drawing for the AAU Comic Book Club challenge: Mash-up Marvel and DC characters. This one of mine is Wonder Cat Widow (Wonder Woman, Cat Woman and Black Widow) and Bat Pool (Batman and Deadpool) – They’re a couple of master thieves and assassins, the Freakanomic Duo.

Star Wars

I’ve been working on this for quite a while. Though I’m not a fan of Star Wars, the character designs are too interesting that I couldn’t help doing some experiment of my own. Most of these characters I chose from the original series, other than bearded Obi Wan and Qui-gon Jinn. The cartoon shows don’t have these, so I guess I’ll make my own interpretation on them.

Hope you guys like it.

The Doctor

I’ve been sucked into the amazing and mind-blowing universe of Doctor Who (2005 version) and now addicted to it. Just finished watching 6 seasons in only 1 week.

Matt isn’t my favorite Doctor, he has a lot of interesting expression and personality to capture into a caricature.

Hope you guys dig it.
