To Those Forgotten By History

This piece is my tribute to those forgotten by history.

I had been listening to extra history podcast.. that gave me various thoughts about how civilization and kingdoms are built upon the corpses of its people.. How leaders often maneuver the soldiers as per their liking, not caring about lives as much as they should. Yet even after all of that, only the name of the officer are recorded..

I decided to show a grand castle at the far distance and contrasting it with a makeshift burial of graves of nameless heroes who died in defense of that castle. I wanted the light and mood to be peaceful yet kinda somber in the FG area.

Here is my exploration on the idea. If you have any feedback or comment please feel free to write it down :)

Tomb

Was not really satisfied with this piece but I decided to call it done and move on.

Pikachu

Been busy at work and could not do much update but here is something I quickly drew for a friend's son!

Land of Forgotten People

"Adventure? Ya looking for one eh?...Well, if ya look yonder, a thousand miles t` the east.. just beyond the ancient forest.. there lies a land forgotten by the people." The old man eyes shone mischievously and he cackled, "That is if ya would trust this drunken slur of mine.... kakakakaka..."

-----------------

Decided to finish up an old value painting that I did a couple of months ago. 

Been trying to maximize my dinner and lunch time by doing this for the whole week.

Then I took sometime today after dinner to finish it up.

Be free like the wind!

Decided to take an old sketch to paint! It changed a lot along the way but I am really glad it ended up being that way since it was closer to the original intention of the piece.

Armory

A mockup practice for mobile game background. The Top and Bottom was purposely kept empty so that UI can be overlaid on top.

World Design

Various design practices I have been doing on my free time.

Taking inspiration from ossuary and skeleton and spines

 

Inspired from seaweed/algae and Victorian era greenhouse

I decided to do another one of my samurai jizo world exploration.

Thought would be fun to do something crazy..  I always enjoyed reading about space and rockets.. so I decided to mashed them with cathedral design language.. space cathedral?? it became kinda crazy to design in the end lol I was stuck for a while when sketching.

Another ambitious one, wanted to try to do a townscape that are in a cave or on the cliff side, I think the final image didnt manage to bring out the potential I had in mind.. definitely will return to this concept in the future exploration!
