Quest for a Cause Characters & Posters 2013

This design project was requested by a start-up event organiser (who approached me during an anime & pop culture convention) who wanted an adventurer trio of characters as mascots for the ‘Quest for a Cause’ live RPG event promotional material. I designed the party of three character mascots, and used them to design the promotional poster and a web banner. Hilariously, this was a graphic design project given to me before I properly studied graphic design. (¬‿¬)

Digital sketches of four different outfits for the swordsman warrior character.
Digital sketches of four different outfits for the bow-gun ranger.
Digital sketches of four different outfits for the female mage character.

These were the initial character design sketches of the trio party mascots that I made, and a design for each character was selected from these sketches.

Digital sketch of the warrior swordsman's front and back design with blond hair, wearing a red and green battle outfit.
Digital sketch of the bow-gun ranger's front and back design with brunet hair, wearing a long navy coat.
Digital sketch of the female mage's front and back design with red hair, wearing a pink and purple outfit.

My drafts and further refinement of the designs. I didn’t end up using these colours in the final piece, but I did use the overall tonal value in their final grayscale version.

Final grayscale designs of the mascot party trio. These were the designs I ultimately used in the final poster and promotional materials.

All these illustrations were created using PaintTool SAI with Wacom tablet and post-processed in Adobe Photoshop. The final posters was originally posted on DeviantArt and eventually I took them down.

2013 Artist Alley Art Compilation

After graduating from my animation course, I decided that animation wasn’t really for me, or rather I didn’t want to pursue it professionally anymore. Instead, I decided to go the direction of trying to make a business out of my hobby for drawing anime-style art and it took a serious turn to drawing more fanart for conventions in 2013.

I went to four different anime and pop-culture conventions held in Melbourne and had an artist alley table at all of them. Three out of the four tables, I shared a table with another artist. Here are some of the artworks I sold during these conventions.

Art print of Amaterasu and Issun from the Capcom game called “Ōkami”.

Art prints of Alibaba Saluja, Morgiana and Aladdin from the anime “Magi: The Labyrinth of Magic”.

Chibi bookmarks of characters Aladdin, Alibaba, Morgiana, and one more character Judar.

Art prints of Taiga Kagami, Ryōta Kise and Tetsuya Kuroko from the anime “Kuroko no Basuke”.

Chibi bookmarks of characters Kuroko, Kagami, Kise, and one more character Daiki Aomine.

Art prints of China & Chibi Japan, N.Italy & S.Italy, and Russia from the webcomic “Axis Powers Hetalia”.

Several of the above illustrations were created using PaintTool SAI, a drawing software that I used often in 2013 because it worked better with my wacom tablet, and some were created using Adobe Photoshop.

Chibi pencil drawings of Ruby, Weiss, Blake & Yang from the web series “RWBY”.

All of the above fanart illustrations were originally posted on DeviantArt and I eventually took them down later.

My Artist Alley Tables

Anime Traders Convention (@Con) – Feb 2013

My first Artist Alley table of 2013, where I was also sharing the table with the artist aussie-dragon from DeviantArt. It was a one-day event and quite a small market compared to the other conventions I attended later in the year.

Supanova Pop Culture Expo – Apr 2013

My second Artist Alley table of 2013, where I was also sharing the table with the artist OzenkaLily from DeviantArt. It was also my first large convention of the year and met many different artists and cosplayers.

Melbourne Anime Festival (Manifest) – Aug 2013

My third Artist Alley table of 2013, and my second and final time trading at this particular convention, as the organisers were unable to continue organising future events after 2013. This was the only convention of the year that I had the whole table to myself and had a friend help me with my table.

Armageddon Expo – Oct 2013

My final Artist Alley table of 2013, where I was also sharing the table with the artist Enixyy from DeviantArt. By this time, I had more artworks to sell but still didn’t have as many as some other artists at these large conventions.

I felt, at the time, that my overall experience trading at artist alleys in 2013 was quite fun and I enjoyed meeting new artists and fans of anime. I didn’t make a lot of money from it, but I didn’t want to stop yet and continued trading my art into the next year.

Animated Intro Commission 2013

Watch Time: 0 min 7 secs・ Audio: Music only

This is a short animated YouTube intro I made for Russell Chee, the musician who helped me with my final animation project in 2012. He was a fan of my chibi art style and wanted me to make an animation of him in chibi style! It was an intro for a “Say Anything” video series.

This was animated in Adobe Flash, properly rendered in Photoshop and then compiled together in Adobe After Effects.

A practise sketch. Me trying out 15 different drawing styles on the head of my Hunter x Hunter OC character Leona. For some reason, the semi-realistic versions scare me a little. (ಠ_ಠ)

This piece was my attempt at watercolour painting and testing out how confident I felt doing traditional artwork after a long time of doing digital art.

Looking at the end result, I felt I wasn’t bad at it, but I wasn’t comfortable enough to continue doing it regularly. Sticking with digital art and illustration it was. ┐(￣ヘ￣)┌
