Sky Holder

Female Sky Holder (she’s a man in the mythology) – the original Vietnamese Goddess. There are a lot of Photoshop tools experiments in this one, and a lot of them are quite useful I must say.

Before there was even time, the universe was in chaos, sky and earth were mixed together, and no living thing could survive. That was when came the Sky Holder, she pushed the sky up with her hands, and stomped the earth down with her legs, thus, created the world as we know it, and allowed creatures of all kinds to grow and evolve underneath.

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.
