Jataka Illustration

This time is super long time not to post, its been like...2 years ago? I hope I can be more active, there several project already released at bookstore and some put on event. But now I'm gonna put illustration that I did for awhile for Buddhist related story, yeah this is first time I did religion based illustration, I myself not Buddhist but I found its really interesting story, I hope I can get another illustration job of many religion books, any religion are good so its nice to see what they teach in their books.

The Illustration itself already put in here for teaser, remember these pages ? I can't show it all since its not published yet, so today I put my pages here.

This is the cover, its contain several stories with several amazing illustrator too. The book itself is selfpublishing by Ehipassiko foundation, so may or may not be put on major bookstore, but you can get it via their website: http://ehipassiko.or.id/

This are sample of my part, sorry I blurred the text, I love the result.

Last, I put my illustration sample here, I personally love this one (I used these for teaser too). I found myself really love to draw with Indian theme, particularly the bright color and India pattern are beautiful, I hope someday I managed to draw another India theme illustration again.

Long time no updates

Its been a while, I've been busy for almost 6 months preparing another book that soon will be released, its exhausting but fun mostly because I got another chance to explore my own style for children illustration book.
Now I wonder what should I put here? I remember making post about my first single book published here but never show what it look like.

Its read and put sticker book! this is first time I ever do this, hopefully someday I got a chance to do this again.
I will write my single book again later after its published, I hope someday I can create and publish my own book that I write and draw together.

The Wind Fairy that make trouble?

Another children book stories that collaborated with many artist, I got one part that have title "The Little Wind that blows and blows and blows" basically the story is about wind fairy that have trouble to control her power and instead of making her power to be useful, she accidentally make a trouble for earth people, and then her father help her to use her power properly, I think its sweet story about daugher and father bonding :).

Its released and since I already put a little teaser on my old post here, and now I'm allowed to put three sample works here.

The book made with thick artcartoon but not dangerous for children, text is very easy and fun to read (and to be honest I play with the fun with Math book too) its really nice book that I even recommended to buy it.

So get it soon while still in bookstores :D

Another Children Illustration book project

There another book where I took part as Illustrator is been released, this illustration actually done last year and have a chance to published this year.
The book title is "I Love Books"

As you can see from the title, its all about how to love read and start reading a book or even create a book which I think is a good think to built the need to read good books start from earlier ages because books give you a lot of knowledge and information.

My part called "Kado Persahabatan" (Friendship Present).

And here some clean art that I used for the book:

I'm really glad to get this opportunity to try different panel, plus I love the theme (yes, I also a bookworm).

This book already can find in local bookstore (Gramedia)and priced around Rp.120000 for 164 pages full color.

Please buy if you and your kids like it :)

STGCC 2013 thank you! also some rant

Ahh long time not updating, my bad i shouldn't do this but after Popcon 2013 there a lot things to do from unfinished project to drawing some stuff for STGCC, but its all done. Thank you!

I've done Mirkwood Elves postcard, Thranduil is old doodle that i've done last year and planning to do other two (its look a bit plain....Thranduil really lucky to have that gorgeous crown so his picture is not really plain compare the other).

If you ever draw all the dwarves, you will be appreciated their braids after that.... The Braids are beautiful but pain in the ass when drawing it, it even more difficult than Tauriel's braids, i wonder if the Dwarves actually braiding their hair themself or with somebody help....

One thing i miss in this set, i want to draw Sebastian....

STGCC 2013... some part is good some part is bad, i'm a bit conflicted LOL, not sure next year will be joined again not because i don't like it but perhaps i'm planning to travel somewhere. 

Sometimes changing your regular stuff is a good thing.

I kinda tired now, its near end of 2013 when i look back and think what i've been done in this year, i spent too much on freelance job, doing a lot job....and missed some practicing because you already tired drawing.

I'm during drawing break now, perhaps next month or November i start to drawing again. Some people told that sometimes you need to take a break (but really i don't know how longer i can stay this lol, i'm already doodling when i'm in office).

Oh but i still write something, basically i never write anything about books that i illustrated has been published (i talked a lot in twitter, but i guess pimping a bit here is ok heheee).

Anyway this is teaser for book that i've been done, now i'm waiting to be published :>

And once again, thank you for everyone who visited our booth (and thank you very much for everyone who telling me that they like my art, damn that mean so much for me :3)

AFCC Sketch: One Big Story

I joined this year AFCC Sketch competition because of curiousity and that vague theme look interesting.

Okay well i'm not gonna lie, one of the reason why I joined the competition because I can draw what I want and what style that I want to use, its like... idealistic project.

Actually i have no idea what I should draw until I watched Mark Owen new single Stars and suddenly I want to draw astronaut.

Did I pleased with the result? not really, some part didn't turn into something that I imagined, probably that why some people think this is the story about little astronaut being chased by some crazy dinosaurs but the thing i really want is this little astronaut actually guided this dinosaurs to follow him and invited them to come to his space ship (AKA the red rocket behind him), oh well I think being chased by dinosaurs actually a one big story too after all (I mean how often you being chased by dinosaurs LOL).

I still have a lot of ideas I want to draw with Mark Owen's Stars (his new album will be brilliant,I like the preview), but maybe I'll save for later, since I still got 2 more competition entry for this month, whew....

I'm not sure I'll win because everyone entries are fabulous, but I will used that voucher to buy a lot lot of books XD

I got my own book!

Well actually not really my own book, but i did all the book except the writing (maybe someday, i will release my own book, written by me and draw by myself).
Last two months (January and February)are busy months, there a lot of job and its impossible for me to update my own blog, art one, review book or just personal blog :(

I still have one problem about my Children book, hopefully it will get done this month *crossfinger* Anyway i get this amazing project, i know i'm almost overloaded with projects, but i cannot pass this one because i really really love this book at first time when i read the writing, and what the writer want for style.
And also i got a chance to draw animal and no human, its awesome :D

This is just sample when i pitched for the job, i just like flat colored artwork.

I cannot post sample inside since the book itself still not unpublished, if published, i will gladly to post more :D, i love playing with color and distorted drawing. 

So here the cover sample, i'm looking forward for this book ^_^

Another children book

Another Children Illustration Book that i currently working on, this one is kinda hmm....hard since the theme is sort of carnival, so there will be a lot of crowd.

And then i'm trying new style of coloring, i still confused about my own style but i think i will just drawing, experimenting again till i found one :)

Still not my 10000x trying

A bit sample preview for children book pitching (well actually i added a bit more colour for the final version than this), but i didn't heard any news from the writer herself *shrugs*, dunno if it will accepted or not but i should say i kinda love the story :)
Oh well, at least i have a chance to do digital painting again :)
