Brain Dump

What is this?

The Brain Dump is a place where some of my raw and un-polished artwork is placed! Think of this place as the reflection of my mind, and this also represents the "messy-ness" that happens before the professional and the publishing comes in. That being said, this also contains some artwork that I created in my own time for fun and practices. Everyday is an opportunity to learn.

Low-poly Wallpapers

This section contains some wallpapers I have made for practicing 3D modelling and overall fun. My main motivation for creating these is my friend. These wallpapers were requested by him and he uses them as wallpapers for his Surface Pro to this day.

Low Poly Earth

A low-poly 3D model of Earth in outer space — The first wallpaper I created for my friend. I was still fairly new to low-poly and using Maya as well.

Low Poly Halloween

A low-poly 3D model of a Halloween-themed landscape — This is a halloween-themed wallpaper inspired from the hill in the Nightmare Before Christmas.

Digital Painting

These are the digital paintings I have been creating recently to practice texturing, blending and colour. These compositions are not mine. I practice a certain skill by observing artists online and re-creating their artwork through my method or by learning their method. These are created in Autodesk Sketchbook.

Tree and Sky

A digital painting of a single tree in a field of grass, with a massive cloud in the blue sky behind the tree — The original composition is by Mclelun. I followed their YouTube video to create this painting. First, I examine the final product in the video, and then I select specific timestamps in the video and recreate their process sttep-by-step. If I can't do a specific area, I watch the artist and learn their technique. If I do not have their brushes, I recreated their brushes in Sketchbook as a custom brush. Reference clip: Link

Sketches

This section contains some of my sketches and drawings using traditional tools and mediums for creating art. Some of these are part of my sketch journal that is themed as "fear".

A Young Tree in Pencil

A drawing of Emily Carr's 'A Young Tree' with pencil — This is a study Emily Carr's "A Young Tree". Her original medium to create her painting was oil paint, whereas I recreated her painting with pencil. Reference photo: Link

Supercell Storm in Emily Carr's Style

A drawing of a supercell storm in Emily Carr's art style — This was a product of a research project where I studied Emily Carr's art style such as her linework, use of colour, lighting and texture, and her work's symbolism. I then recreated a reference photo in her style based on my research. Reference photo: Link

Phone Doodles

These doodles were all drawn and coloured in a mobile app called "Sketch - Draw & Paint". I would visit this app every time I was bored, procastinating, or even in-class. Sketch - Draw & Paint is my go-to app when I want to write down quick notes, doodle "curves" or draw characters. Much of these doodles were inspired from existing characters such as Zyra from "League of Legends", or the leaders in "Duelyst".
