My Art for this Season

Christmas. The day widely accepted as the birth of Mankind's Redeemer.
It made me think. For this one special day, can the Demons and the Holy ones unite?
Is the Lord of Darkness invited in this most glorious celebration?

I am also quite radical with the darklord's appearance because it is always associated with grotesque physical form. Does he even need a form? Is his form conceivable as well as his wickedness?
Most of the time our worst enemies are not even tangible. It is usually in abstract form. A phantom, an apparition which led us to misconduct and fault.

VCO+Guava

As a Product Line, instead of designing each product individually, I have decided to design it collectively to make the products identical. Basically, I based my design on the variant itself which is coconut and guava. Most dominant colors are shades of brown and green, it represents being organic and the colors from the two fruits where the main substance are extracted. Colors and Vector art ornaments are minimal in order to look more natural. The unusual shape of the labels make it eye-catching and breaks away from conventional beauty product with VCO variant. Captions didn't use fancy fonts to maintain its natural appearance. Font colors are consistent with the main shades of coconut and guava.

Obake

Another piece from my mini-animation series.

Inspired from Japanese myth and folklore, Obake is a preternatural creature which unlike the supernatural, its existence is presumed to have rational explanations. Literally means as "a thing that changes", it is believed to be one of the temporary transformations of a deceased person. Its capabilities were beyond humans but still finite and lesser than the Divine.

Popularly being portrayed as a one-eyed ghost, carrying a lantern as its comical depiction, this gruesome superstitious character became easily acceptable and eye-catching to people especially children.

An evident outlet of hunger and extreme craving.

Detective Conan Fan Art

'Been a fan of this amazing whiz kid who does not let tricky criminals escaped easily and is never deceived by their well executed murders.

I have found also Gosho Aoyama's(author and illustrator of Detective Conan) character's sketch quite unique and deviated among most mangakas' art style during his time.

These are just the reasons which gave me drive for this creative output.

Quadricentennial Poster

A short notice homework in our Desktop Publishing subject which messed up my mental planner.
