BEAST Munny Project--YOSEOB complete!

Mission ACCOMPLISHED! (sort of)
Yesterday I finally had time to work on my munny and managed to finish most of YoSeob by 4am! All that is left for me to do is fix his mouth and spray on a coat of varnish.

I do not own this image. It is used here only for reference.

Here is the image that I was working on. This is YoSeob in the "Lights Go On Again" MV Teaser that was released a few days ago. Originally, I was planning on making these munnys based on BEAST's Mastermind Army concept. But after I saw the video, I just fell in love all over again. They were just too handsome in their black suits. So i changed my concept completely. Luckily, I hadn't started coloring yet. :)
My finished product (front)! Unfortunately, I am not very good, so it doesn't really look like him. :( I try to capture his adorable smile, but here, it just looks weird. I like how I painted the suit though. :] I got the bow-tie and everything!

As you can see in the picture of the real YoSeob, the top of his hair is spiky... i couldn't figure out how to do that...otherwise, i think it would look more like him. :(

YoSeob Munny (back). His name in Korean is on the back. I had plan to also write BEAST on there, but didn't know how to do it, nicely. Should I have used a different color? Everything is kind of black and white. I like the result, but it kind of blends in with the back and I dont know. Maybe i should use another way to make the words pop out?

Problems: all of my Sharpie Paint makers and permanent makers ran out of ink when I started working on his face. I was so angry and frustrated. I had bought those for like $3 a piece and they were brand new never-been-used. darn things dried up before they even got home!
Also, as you can see from the picture of YS Munny's back, he has a little tail... the figure came like that and I didn't know how to remove it without causing too much damage. Tips?

So... this is my FIRST munny! What do you guys think? I plan to make five more, one for each of the members, so please anticipate them! I don't know if I'll change them too much because I want them to be the same, but I don't know about that font on the back... Please feel free to leave feedback! :] SO BEAST! hahaha....

New Project!

Ah... so lately, creative ideas have been swarming around in my head. This time I am writing them down so I don't forget! Also, I am learning how to time manage. That way, there will definitely be beginning and end dates for these projects.

FIRST: In order to celebrate BEAST's 1-year anniversary, I plan to make munny's in their likeness.... but alas! this medium is new to me and I am learning how to draft the characters out. I am struggling with which of BEAST's concept I am going for. I think I might begin with their Mastermind, Military Concept. Well... we'll see how this goes! I hope it does come out well. And maybe the BEASTy boys will get to see them?? Wish me luck everyone! :)

Flying Over the City

So, as you all know, I haven't been updating my blog ... and that is because I haven't done anything lately. But ideas have been flying around in my mind. I've been constantly thinking about sketches in my head... so busy thinking that I haven't actually tried to put anything down on paper.

Yeah... Maybe that'll be a good start...

Fairy Tales and Alice in Wonderland. It's obvious that because of all the Alice and Wonderland stuff going around, I've been influenced! haha. But I have this idea of a dark Alice (yes I know, it's been done already)... a dark, mysterious girl with a seductive grin. I have no idea how to go about doing this. Seductive? Mysterious? What does that look like?

I've always been fascinated by Little Red Riding Hood. Not exactly sure why. I've written skits, short stories and drew comics all about this little girl in a red hood. Maybe there's something about the possibility of Little Red turning evil or maybe she is the wolf itself. A she-wolf who lures men into the forests and then devours until there nothing left. A evil grin. How does that look like?

The eternal struggle between originality/creativity and reproduction/redundant. They've already been done by others and they've been done awesome-ly. So what's the point of me doing the same thing?

Sketches and Some Completed Stuff

Hey there! :) So I took some pictures of some sketches that I did in the past. Most of them are just random and so they don't have a date. Many of them aren't even done. But I kind of like the unfinished pencil look. Qu'est-ce que vous pensez?

medium: pencil on paper.

This is one of my favorites. :) A sketch of Heath Ledger. I got the picture from the tribute issue of Entertainment Weekly. What I really liked about the picture is the way his eyes are so full of emotion. Which emotions? Not sure. But something deep and profound is going on in his head. Haha, of course that's just how I saw it. Anyways, I didn't do a very good job capturing the way he looked in my sketch. But I still like the outcome of it. I'm afraid to shade it in. I think I might draw another one to experiment on.. hmm...

medium: pencil on paper.

The next one on the right is supposed to be a

sketch of Natalie Portman. Of course it looks nothing like her. I messed up on the portions of her face. I think I did this my Junior Year of High School. :)

medium: pencil on paper.

A sketch of Zhang Xiyi from 2046. :) I'm actually not sure if I am finished with this sketch. But I like the way it looks at this stage.

medium: pencil on paper.

Another sketch of Zhang Xiyi. She is so intense!! Her eyes in the original was fierce! Her expressions are hard to capture on paper. It's just not the same. I've drawn and re-drawn her eyes many times. If only you could see the eraser marks! I wanted perfection! muahah!

medium: pencil on paper.

I saw this picture of Audrey Hepburn with her son and fell in love with it. So, I made a quick sketch of it. It's very rough, and looks nothing like the original people, but I think I got the pose right... I want to paint this sometime in the future.

A sketch.

medium: acrylic on paper.

Random and spontaneous painting. i quite like the outcome.
