paint oil paintings with oil... also, CHAM

This is a 40 minute study of my friend's fishtank skull on his desk. This is also the first time I used oil for oil painting...

I was too poor to afford the proper tools, so I painted some oil paintings with just taltine and oil paint before. The taltine dissolved the paint just the same, and it dried a little faster... but yea painting with linseed oil kicks taltine's ass. AHHAA.. it actually made painting this so much faster and easier. 

As I got to my parents house I saw THIS in my mailbox! It's my copy of CHAM, the comic fiesta art collection that I painted the above image for back in the fall! It's a pretty thick artbook, much bigger than I thought it would be lol If you're in Malaysia, and purchased this book, thanks for supporting all the awesome artists in it!! (the digital image of my submission can be seen here!)

The book also came with a cute little pin, aww~

PS. dad bought our family a fancy new camera... a Canon 60D and it takes amazing photos even when I have no idea what I'm doing LOL

I AM GOING TO BUILD THIS and live there.

 The last assignment in 3D sculpting class is to build a room of any kind. I took the chance to fool around and made my dream loft apartment lol...

SAINT SEIYA!

I always liked the swan the most as a child... probably because I always pictured Joey from Yu Gi Oh being a smartass in this goofy outfit lol.

(check out Andy's version of Seiya!)

"Our purpose is to make a charity art book and donate 100% of the profits to the charity, St. Jude's Children Research Hospital.

"St. Jude is the only pediatric cancer research center where families never pay for treatment not covered by insurance. No child is ever denied treatment because of the family's inability to pay." This year is their 50th anniversary.

We want to make an art book that will never fail to bring a smile to your face.

This art book is a celebration of life, all the aspects, and pledged to a charity hospital that has been providing fifty years of research and service to helping sick children and their families."
