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.

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)

 

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).

(ok, on to Vietnamese)

Nếu như từ trước tới nay các bạn từng thấy mình khen bất cứ phim nào bằng những từ ngữ thế nào đi nữa, thì hãy quên hết đi nhé, vì phim này hay hơn tất cả những phim mình đã từng xem. Nói hẳn ra, PHIM HAY NHẤT TRONG LỊCH SỬ LOÀI NGƯỜI. Tất cả mọi thứ, từng giây một trong phim này đều sướng tai, đã mắt, bá đạo, hoành tráng, vãi đạn, vãi đái,…. nói chung không có từ nào đủ mạnh để miêu tả độ SƯỚNG khi xem phim này. Không thể nào diễn tả hết nổi cảm xúc. Phim hay đến độ khiến cho tất cả các phim đã từng xem thành ra vớ vẩn vứt đi hết cả. Cảm giác cho 10/10 vẫn chưa đủ. Không muốn phân tích chi tiết nhiều, vì nếu bạn xem phim này không thấy sung sướng đến từng hơi thở thì chắc não bạn có vấn đề. Xem xong hết credit cả rạp hô “AGAIN!!!” sau khi đã vỗ tay rào rào mấy lần liền. Phim 3-D có hiệu ứng 3-D rõ rệt nhất, hiệu quả nhất trong lịch sử các loại 3-D, khiến cho Transformers, Avatar, Avengers thành đồ bỏ đi vứt sọt rác hết. Nói chung phim này PHẢI XEM MÀN HÌNH RỘNG, PHẢI XEM 3-D, ai có cơ hội thì PHẢI XEM IMAX!!!!!!

 

Avengers Wars

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.
