I've just visited the poorest area in my city. All I can say is a big WOW in there. About how people here can ever live, how every thing can clash then be put together to form most unstable but outstanding structures to prove that human, in any environment is most adaptive being. The urban life has some of God's powers

Mixed media with my own photos, lots of painting elements and some misc. unknowned images on Google

This artwork is dedicated for Lumminarium Exhibition: http://theluminarium.net/v3/]]> Sun, 27 Sep 2009 03:54:04 +0000 http://fxevo.cgsociety.org/gallery/809629

The Kingfisher, I bet their name come from the royal look on their feathers, or their patience overwatching their land.

But he live with his name.

This is a part from project I'm working on, although I think this is really nice, but I take a wrong approach to the required theme so it rejected, what a shame.

Thia if a about akind of elf class adept in raising fariae dragon, to them dragon is like jewelry.

But I love this anyway, although it still need improvement.]]> Mon, 13 Jul 2009 15:58:29 +0000 http://fxevo.cgsociety.org/gallery/783555

This artwork I painted exclusively for Luminarium Exhibtion.

I made a lot of custom brush from actual rock photo, but put them together really need lots of time, and color choosing correcting is so crazy, as I used to paint with dark colors.

At least, this taught me great deal.]]> Sat, 04 Apr 2009 19:09:09 +0000 http://fxevo.cgsociety.org/gallery/749259

I have just painted this, as a practice for more intense painting

I want to put in a combine between sci-fi and abstract to make a sharp contrast with the background

He performs an routine, ordinary task, in just absolutely extraordinary environment.

Some custom brush is from Zhuzhu's art brush.

Thank you for viewing.

A fanart of Mirror Edge, this is the main heroine Faith.

I love her so much, it's really hard to find a girl this strong, confident and have great post-modern style.

When I was painting her, I fond out a little bit of strong brush stroke is perfectly match for her image, so I let it be. Finally, it turned out to be just like she is standing before a mirror posing a feminine side, which is nice for the main theme, mirror edge.

May I present with you my next concept, hope this will deserve your patient. So many thanks for who gave me compliment and ideas in the WIP. This inspired from many character of World of Warcraft, Blizzard.

I'm not so good at fur and feather things, so paint the whole this is a really challenge for me.

UNNAMED PROJECT:

In Yesterday War, physical injuries can be healed, at least can be erased, faded.

But how about mental scars? Have you ever seen the true nightmares of veterans? Of death and sorrow?

In Yesterday War, physical injuries can be healed by medics.

But who care about them? Have you ever done a surgery right on battlefield? With blood and bullet flying over your head?

No one ever think...

But in Today War there're someone, who can fix you up, can bring back hope, love, and pride, tell you that nothing can be more glory than die for your motherland.

Generals call them Mental Medics, since they heal soldier's fighting abilities.
Soldiers call them Frosty Angels, since their cold voices tell them to fight, no matter the cost.
Enemy call them Necromancers, since they make the devoured corpse stand up and kill.

Hi there, long time no see, I'm too busy with my homework in university so when my senior artist (Mr Linh Phan Vu) and the luminarium hit my back with their deadline (deadlance?), this is my latest artwork.
Uhm yeah, somehow I'm tired of fantasy female with fantasy, classical features and woovies, so this is my sureal imagination of the a female athlete, a swimmer, yeah maybe.

Really old painting, exactly 1 year ago, my 3rd painting and 1st of digital figure painting, but recently revised.

It brought to me many thinks, many experiences, I both love it and hate it. It was bad back to that time, but I still proud of, and I've reworked on it many times, add there, remove that, eraser, colorize, multiply, skew, rotate... until now.

Hope you enjoy it. ]]> Mon, 25 Feb 2008 19:33:41 +0000 http://fxevo.cgsociety.org/gallery/589200

Well, when I was cleaning up the house, I saw these little wonders landed on my window bar, so I've known spring indeed is coming.

Wish you a nice spring. ]]> Mon, 28 Jan 2008 12:55:39 +0000 http://fxevo.cgsociety.org/gallery/586159

Yeah, tell you a truth, I paint and imagine a lot of Sci-fi stuffs, environments, and do speedpainting a lot, but I put my highest respect for any character painter. You may think speedpainting is great, but in my opinion it can not be compared with portrait painting. Portrait painting require much more skills and feelings, not to mention deep understanding in human anatomy. My gosh, architecture to me is far easier to understand than human anatomy.

So back to fantasy, a female elf and her name is Adera, seeker for the Balance.

This is the first time I try this kind of portrait/character painting (less realistic but more paint-like) so please dont laugh.

Photoshop CS 2, reference for face's ratio is based on errr.... myself (with a mirror ek ek, but be warned, I'm a guy.)]]> Sun, 20 Jan 2008 05:27:17 +0000 http://fxevo.cgsociety.org/gallery/582782

I ask myself: "Where're fairy tales come from?"
In my imagination, non-magical humanity and magic creatures had lived together.
But He brought all of that magical and fairy in to the Old World.
And he created the safer New World for humanity.
The Worlds're so close.

The gate between Worlds, Reality One and Magic One.
Think Mighty and Invincible.
So small, like a book.
So thin, like a slide.

That gate, the book of Fairy Tales with She is the Guardian.
"Just never tell them about that
And stay away from The end.
Because it's ultimate."

But She still breaks the first Law, and tell us stories about Old World and it's wonders. Each of us, with the copy of that gate, the Fairy Tales Book, unleash our imaginary world and never let it truly reach The end.

So She destroys the first Law to protect the Second Law. The Law of Endless Imaginary.

This is my illustration of She, The Book Keeper and The Storyteller of my imaginary world. I've put my respect, my truth and my love in Her. Hope She will lead my way to the Old World.



Thank you, my friend, my senior artist, Phan Vu Linh, who gave me the push and pull for this one.

Hi there, it's me again.

This artwork was laying in my portfolio in such a long time, and it's actually my third CG artwork, so I didn't have much experience when I painted it, so I was a little shy to show it on CGTalk showcase. But now I think it's best if I have you put on some comments and crisis, I'm eager for knowing how to improve myself, and your commentary post on my previous artworks help me alot, I'm so happy to be undiscovered.

In this piece I want to feature giant tripedal robotic bases, built and launched from orbital mothership, exploring a new world, waiting for new challenge, a new light of sun in front, a new darkness backward, to setup a new colony and serve the royal empire. A little critter is watching the machines, half of scare, half of dare, just like his basic wild instinct and little mind.

Back to sci-fi style with another fast sketch of enviroment, in this piece I just didn't put much ideas in environment, just develop my watery rendering skill, well, moderated result right.
So, if there were just some boring rocky and watery, this piece were just erhhh..., therefore I also featured my MK I of SEE prototype in service (Scanbot of Every Environments) powered with electromagnetic sensor, hovering engine and Bio-Chemical-Radiation Hazard protective plates.
Pretty fast for this one, about 2-3 hours (I cann't get it exactly) (Ok, I know, for me it's fast)

Thank you for giving attention.

PS CS 2 as usual.]]> Sun, 09 Sep 2007 15:08:13 +0000 http://fxevo.cgsociety.org/gallery/527751

This maybe the first time I post artwork for share with cgtalk people, (yeah I know the rules I proud of this one), so please enjoy it and if you can help me in improving my skills and vision, it's my honor to receive.

In this one I manage to create a dramatic adventure scene with a unknow swordman on the way finding the truth of the Sun, this is where he engage the beginning of most challenging part.

Although he isn't well-known swordman but he is strong and potential, if you can see the invisible aura around him make the mist clear and twist, evoke wind to blow leafs fall.]]> Fri, 10 Aug 2007 21:22:46 +0000
