From March 15th to April 1st, I’ll be away on a trip!

I’ll still be checking my email (though probably not as often as usual), if ever you need to get in touch!

I’ll see you all soon!

I’m in the March 2013 issue of Today’s Parent magazine!

Thank you always to the people at Today’s Parent whom I have the pleasure of working with many times!

And here is Part 2! Illustration :)

Take Flight

Reflection

So I did two more diorama illustrations!
I really like doing these, but I think my next image will be my usual flat illustration :)

Also, if you ever want to see some behind-the-scenes photos on my works, I usually post them on my Tumblr. But more specifically, you can go to my #wip tag and see them all in one spot!

Another diorama illustration I put together!

I’m still trying to get down exactly how I want to do things regarding these types of illustrations… But, getting a tripod was probably a step in the right direction. I have no idea why I didn’t have one before this!

Happy Holidays!!

I can’t believe that it’s this time of the year already. It feels like only yesterday that 2012 started.

I hope you enjoy this new kind of illustration! I plan on doing more of these in the coming new year.
Looking back, I always loved doing dioramas for school projects, so this is an awesome way to relive my childhood joy while still working.

I was requested to do 2 commissions recently that both had to do with the holiday season.

The first is for the Gigaventure team who blogs about anime/manga/gaming news. This is currently being used as their cover image on their Facebook page!

The other is for a lovely couple who contacted me for a Christmas themed image to be used as a Christmas card!

Both were very fun to do, and really put me in a holiday mood while working on them. Thanks to both Poy and Veronica!

The one thing I learnt from putting this illustration together is that tiny buildings are fun to draw!

I changed my original plan while I was working on this, so now there are a bunch of small building lying around. Maybe I’ll go ahead and use them for something else!

A work in progress shot of the buildings uncut and unpainted can be seen here at my Tumblr!
