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.

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.

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.

SONTINH-1 Upgraded

Still SONTINH-1, the anti-Kaiju Jaeger from Vietnam (inspired by Pacific Rim), but this time with some slight updates on the outside (some more yellow plates), and this time the background is Sai Gon with Bitexco Financial tower from afar.

SONTINH-1 (Pacific Rim inspired)

| Splendid River

 

Please meet SONTINH-1 – the Vietnamese Jaeger in the Kaiju War on the Red River with Long Bien bridge across. SONTINH-1 was made by the Vietnamese People’s Army with the technical help from Russia and Japan, is a 3rd Generation Jaeger, and has helped the Pacific area Jaeger teams like CRIMSON TYPHOON from China and COYOTE TANGO from Japan fight Kaijus. Unfortunately, SONTINH-1 was taken down in the last year of the war, right before the event in Pacific Rim, by one of the category 4 Kaijus – which was a lot terrifying than previous ones.

(Instead of going to their website and automatic generating a Jaeger from already existed ones from the movie, I prefer to draw like this. The picture was drawn inspired by giant robots Jaegers from the movie Pacific Rim).

Avengers Wars

| Splendid River

Well, lame title, I know. It’s for another challenge from the Comic book club at my school – Academy of Art University. This time is to put Super heroes into a movie poster. I used The Avengers to put into the original Star Wars movie poster.

Beast

| Splendid River

Drawing for Project: rooftop Fan art Friday, but I missed the deadline by around 20 minutes, I hope they’ll still post it. This might be the first time I’ve ever done a Beast.

Spider-man Redesign

| Splendid River
This was intended for a Spidey redesign contest from Project: Rooftop, but I missed the deadline badly since I was busy like crazy back then. Until now I have time and inspiration to finish this.

The idea is to give Peter a more realistic costume than the original one from the comics. I think this is the only way that a teenager can come up as his disguise when fighting for justice at midnight. I mean, how the hell a geek like Peter Parker can think of a tight suit? Seriously? And how can he climb walls with his fingers and feet covered by shoes and gloves? And a Jason-ish mask, in my opinion makes more sense.

All right, sorry for a long delay, I’ve been kept up by a lot of document work for the trip to the US. I’ll be there this January, any one of you expecting to see me? I’ll be in San Francisco for a course at the Academy of Art University.
