Inks & Coffee

Just came across your blog and pictures from Adriana's youtube channel, and I just want to say that I love them all! They look really good and I can relate to some of them. Keep up with the good work and don't let life get you down. I've been down very badly previously too, so you're never alone. Plus, you're way more talented than I am too! =)

Ohhh, why am I receiving this kind message?

Thank you so much! I’ll try to make more art this weekend.

PS. Gosh I love Adriana’s covers too.

One of my life’s dream is to have our own house. Never had a house of our own, so all my life we’re renting a house. When I get to have my own room, I’ll make sure to create murals.

I couldn’t resist. I love this angel so much. I tried a different angle to bring out Castiel’s badass-ness.

Wonderful cover illustrated by my awesome friend, Pat Mapili! Check out her blog! :)

Hey, I just wanted to say... my new year's resolution was to start drawing again (weeeeell, more generally to be more creative) and when I see your drawings I'm torn between jealousy and pure admiration :-) I really like what you do!

Tue, 12 Feb 2013 10:05:00 -0500

I have the same New Year’s Resolution! Thank you, you flatter me too much! Please don’t be jealous! I’m sure you can come up something uniquely on your own!

Thank you dear, I’m glad you like what I do :D

Ang Advenchur ni Kiko by Tresstine Gene is a short comic about a boy who encountered a fantasy in the dump site. This was published in our school’s official art folio called Horizons. All done with inks, coffee, blue watercolor and a bit of Photoshop adjustment.

_{_{If you’re wondering about the mysterious fairy at the end, it’s called the Plot-Hole. lol just kidding! That cute fella isn’t my character. That little fairy has its own comic! We were required to have a cameo of my fellow artist’s character in their comic that appeared in Horizons.}}

Illustration previews post. I’ve been doing a lot of digital illustrations lately for my portfolio web (which I’m still reluctant to post).

First row previews are my contribution for this year’s Horizon, our school’s official art folio. Second one are bunch of concept arts for my animation. It’s nearly a year ago since I made it. I also had hard time choosing bright colors, I usually stick myself to vintage-y or muted color scheme XD. Last row are previews of my first graphic novel. It’s all done traditionally, painted with, of course, coffee and blue watercolor.

Ah I can’t wait to release ‘em all. I’ll have to wait until I am fully satisfied with my porfolio website. :)

She only have one wish.

Three of us, together.

Someday, it will happen.

Someday, you don’t have leave again.

Someday, the hardworking Queen of my heart will smile again

We will be together again,

just like the old times.

Self Portrait in Impressionism

Anatomy finals

One point perspective finals

10 hours of hand slavery. I died for this one.

For me, unfinished artwork shots are always precious. There’s something special in the white spaces in these works that’s waiting to be completed by the artist’s hands.

Sketches of the main characters of my upcoming graphic novel. My style is still a bit manga-ish but I tried to insert a touch of semi-realism on the rendering XD. I can’t wait to finish this project.

Will be posting more concept art/previews in a few days.

obscured-insanity:

janksy:

an artist’s self esteem is a very complicated thing

you have to think that you’re the shit just enough to keep on drawing
and then you have to hate yourself enough to constantly want to improve

it’s hard to maintain that balance man life is hard

#wow everything about this just hits the nail on its head
