It's Just, Prerfect!

Yesterday, 10 PM, at my friend's carport. I accidentally looked to the sky. On one of the most polluted sky, i saw the most-rounded yet brightest moon. I was spelled and pretified. It was so beautiful. I can't believe i can see such thing in here.

It's just like "even in the darkest time, we still can get goodness and grace. If we want it". Thank you Lord for anything.

Lovely, it was.

Push On!

Everyone should love Captain Hector Barbossa because he is nuts.

The Gaffer

Our Gaffer, Arsene Wenger. Final artwork.

Arsene Wenger from scratch to final artwork.

The Gaffer - sketch

This year will be a very hard season for Arsenal. For me, for all gooners all over the world, for the club, and for our gaffer, Mr. Arsene Wenger. Four points from five games on EPL, draw with Dortmund on Champions League. A very hard hard day for us.

But we are Arsenal. We are one of the biggest club in the world with a great history. We were champion. And we will reclaim that title. Bring silverware to our trophy room on the Emirates. We will. This season. And we will win, start from today. From Shrewsbury on the Carling Cup.

Victoria Concordia Crescit.

Kong is King

I love big silverback gorilla. I love big apes. I love "the Rise of the Planet of the Apes".

Wingless Dragon

He has four eyes for a better vision. Horns to protect the head and the neck. Big head and jaw to make him a very good predator. Gecko-like foot with membrane between the fingers for crawling, climbing and swimming. Ergonomic and light-shapeed body to give a good, fast and effective movement. Big short tail to big a good balance.

Oh yeah.. He is wingless. He don't like to fly. He prefer to swim. He is a shy dragon.

He is me (in a dragon prosthetic suit), haha..

A Yogi

Totally random doodle.
*FF to the end of October*

Tribute to Mr. Bolland

I got this beautiful image from my friend, Octa, two years ago. It's a (scanned) quick sketch by Briand Bolland. The artist beyond one of the greatest Batman saga, The Killing Joke. With the genius writer, Alan Moore (V for Vendetta, Watchmen, From Hell), Mr Bolland produced that marvelous tale ot the caped crusader and his greatest villain, The Joker.

Actually, i asked my friend to get the autograph and a little sketch from Mr Bolland at STGCC 09 at Singapore. But i wasn't lucky enough to get what i wanted. I only got this one. A scanned picture of the drawing. Damn!

And today, with that sketch, i made something different. I gave him color, dimension, depth, emotion and smile :)

#01 picture is the orginal sketch from mr. Bolland.
#02 picture is his original sketch with some additional shadow by me
#03 Basic color added
#04 the 3 hours speed painting is done. And i see the combination of Jack nicholson and Hugo weaving in him. Haha..

At the end, Smile :)

Anne

My delicious morning doodle :)

Slender

Another random doodle in this random Holiday.

Audrey

In this critical (boring i mean) situation, i just can draw preety girl, hahaha...

Olla..

Two things. I like Agyness. And i like Aurelie Neyret a.k.a. CLO's artwork. They are very very inspiring. Because of that, i made an artwork that related with them. I drew short black-haired
Agyness with CLO's gorgeous style.

Actually, i want to submit this picture as my first post at artflakes.com. Yes, they found me and ask me to join them. What a pleasent surprise, aye? but i got some advices from my back to aboard that mission (post this picture). They said "that's not YOU! Please sell your own style, don't follow others".

Agree! but i still love this picture. Simple, honest, and FYI, it's difficult to reproduce CLO's style. And when i can do it, i'll be very happy.

Here is the deal. It will never appear on artflakes.com, but have to be seen on my own blog.

Happy saturday, lads. Be blessed.

Litoria sp. nov.

I found it at my old project's folder. Litoria sp. nov. a.k.a. Pinocchio's nose frog, a newly found species from the deep forest of Papua. I made it (with my partner company) last year for giant oil and mining company but (this picture was) rejected because they want to expose the beauty of papua's various birds. So be it. I made 12 birds from papua and the frog is mine.

Honestly, this is my favourite illustration from this project. Very detail and.. specular. Fyi, i like to draw specular objects such as eyes, bottle, water and frog. It's very exciting and challenging, you know? haha..

Hope i can get a kind of project like this in 2011. One project at least. Just for fun. just to stretch my hand and brain :)

Good day lads, Gb.

Agyness Deyn

Pixie, slender, well-shaped structure. Perfect.

Perfect Stranger

King of Asgard

Wrinkles.. YAY!

A Series of Fortunate Events

Few months ago, i liked The Cranberries fan page on facebook and write a wall "Come to Jakarta again, please". Last week, i heard they will come to Jakarta and play at Java Rockin' Land. Wow, that was a nice series of random events. And today, i'll buy my ticket. See you at Ancol, July 23rd, 2011.

PS: The picture above, it's not complete yet. Will post the final version, Soon :)

A Quick Update

Will be printed, framed and used in voelkan's first interior project. I will give you another updates about this project very soon. Thank you :)

Envy

Sorry for a long absence. Too much to do with my new job and my new comitment with my daily illustrated journal. They takes almost of my time. So, in this busy year, I have to take a big great getaway. And the destination is BALI :) I will be there on October.

And in this hectic day, a friend of mind send me a photo from her BB phone. She makes me smile and envy at the same time. It's a Silhouette of her profile, at a beach. Yes, a beach in Bali. Very pretty. An offer i can't resist. I drew her -_-

Have a nice final day, unyu. Please be my tour guide on October :)

Another Painting Exercise

Too busy with my new project (pray for me and the company, please) and have very little time to paint. No practice is a very bad situation for an illustrator. So, in this tight schedule, I made this drawing.

My friend, a good child photographer has asked me to draw one of his client for a sample. I just think that was a challenge and an opportunity do some practice. And here it is, I present you, Mikaela, in a different approach (brush type). Enjoy :)

Superhero needs Supervillain

Let me introduce you, our new supervillain, Criminal Cat aka Kucing Garong.
*inspired by our birthday girl, Oen :)

Website of Junia

Noon lads. This is my antoher finished project. A website. Wow.. No, I don't do the scripts and programming. As you can guess, I did the logo, layout and the illustrations.

It was a fun project. The client is a promissing child photography named Junia. It was a collaboration project between me and a very good interactive and web boutique metalab. If you'd like to see more details on the illustration and how good the pictures they have captured, please visit their web. Thanks :)

Tons of Foolishness

Hello, there! Back with me in different year :)

2010 was super duper great, aye? And 2011, it's gonna be much greater, I wish. One of my resolutions in 2011 is "to own an illlustrated self-daily stories". I mean, a real one. It will tell everything that happens on my humble life. Since I don't speak English very well, my new blog will be written in Bahasa Indonesia :)

It's an "aggressive expansion" (quoted from The Joker in The Dark Knight. I love that quote, by the way). This lazy boy should post anything, DAILY. Wow.. Very big task to do. But it's 2011 now, and we gotta make a bigger and better jump, aye? Wish me luck..

Anyway, Happy new year and good day lads, Gb :)
