Merry Christmas

A new year is coming soon. It has been an event-full week. Here is my take on the recent christmas bash skit from my church of Zayn and Belle. Merry Christmas and a happy new year all!

Latest Work

The digital works are all guided by Hans Bacher himself. I am so privileged to have such an inspirational and highly experienced artist teach me for this semester in ADM.

Domino Effect

The Domino Effect One drop of the world, forms a ripple in our mind and this in turn ripples out into our actions and what we do affects the space of the physical and the mental world. It's a cycle. It's a domino effect.

Here's a sneak peek at what I had been busy with:

May seems to be the month of many weddings eh. This is one of the most meaningful work that I've ever done as a designer. I hope for more of such work to come! Until the wedding ceremony is over, I shall not be a spoiler to the video.

Stop Motion Fun Again!

This time, we get to work with puppets for our stop motion. Lots of new experiences gained. I particularly enjoyed the character designing and seeing how my design become tangible towards the end. I designed the red dinosaur mascot character and the rest of my 3 other teammates designed the other 3 puppets individually. It's cool that each of us get to create our own character :) I haven't got the time to post my concept sketches and a good photograph of my puppets yet because I still need to clear one final assignment and exam before my holiday starts, which I am looking very forward to! There are so many things that I want to do during the break, and one of it is redesigning my official website and updating my reel. Until then, I shall end here.

Book Cover Illustration!

Haven't been updating for quite sometime, so here are some of the things that I've been working on- redesigning for Lewis Carroll's Alice In Wonderland book cover for my illustration class. It was really fun getting to explore the various look and design for AIW. I certainly hope that I have more chances to do more illustrations and share the joy of art to people.

Habits

Here's a little bookmark that I did for my church not too long ago inspired by the parable of The Two Builders.

New York Times...

I was given a chance to imagine that I am illustrating an article about The Rise of Groupthink from New York Times Magazine. This is my take on it. This illustration is not my usual colorful style since it has to look more sophisticated for intellectual people.


This is my version of the article if it's not for NYT. It's my first draft of the same article which is more youthful and funky.

KSM's Art Shop??

This is available as print on Society6!
My first ever print available on sale and I'm excited about this! Do come and check it out :D

Revamp

A logo revamp perhaps?

Spotted And Exhibited!

Four of my monkeys had been selected for this year's Noise Singapore 2012 Showcase and I've been spotted by CulturePush! Read my feature here! :) Thank you CulturePush! Thank you Eunice !

For those who are interested in my monkeys sketches, here is one of them that I have included in the image above.

Stop Moshunz

This film is produced by ZeST (Zieg, me and Tan Yin) for our very first stop motion assignment. None of us have any experience with stop motion animation but we enjoyed working on this together, spending late nights churning out ideas for the story, having lots of coffee to take us through the night as we work on the animation while listening to oldies such as The Beatles, Michael Jackson, Bee Jees' Staying Alive and Saturday Night Fever.

Enjoy!

Valentines Day

Happy Valentine\'s Day to all in advance! This is a cover design for a greeting card assignment from school. I thoroughly enjoyed doing it and I hope it makes your day upon seeing this


The overall size is 8cmX8cm big which is really cute and easy to keep. It is printed on a matte 270gsm textured paper. In the final print, the speech bubble is also being cut out and pasted on the card with a foam tape to create a pop out effect.

*Kindly note that the photos of the printed card is taken with my phone camera hence the color difference from the digital copy. In real life, it is the same as the digital copy.

When Life Throws You Lemons, Make Lemonade

This was done for my Intro To 3D module. Everything is done entirely by myself, due to the lack of time, this was as far as I could manage for this overly ambitious animation. Definitely, there are lots of improvement to be made...This lighthearted film shows the struggles of a student's life which I had experienced first hand. When life throws you lemons, make lemonade out of it. The above shows a bald-er version of Abby. I had wanted to achieve that Pixar or realistic hair effect unfortunately, this amount of hair strands were already starting to exhaust the computer memory so I had to find another solution to make her hair. If any kind souls out there who has seen this post and knows how to make those Pixar's type of realistic hair without exhausting the computer memory, kindly email me or comment to this post. Thank you very much!
