InkTober 1/31 Prompt: Swift “CPO. 65635 running for Bulan”

YAY! First art for 2017's Inktober. the prompt is "Swift."

I drew Malandok, the cyborg policeman running for the captured Bulan. I'm a bit conscious of how fucked up the perspective, his face, and the shading is. But I just think of the true essence of doing this 31-day art challenge, and that is to improve and develop good drawing habits! :D

Hope you liked it!

Inktober 5/31 prompt: Long "Someday"

Conceptual paneling and monologue for Manila 2501. The act where they finally fled the urbanity of New Manila to seek refuge to the last known bastion of Gods.

Actually, I have three ideas in mind for this prompt! But I decided to do this one which is not a literal interpretation of what is long. So, for this drawing, I tried to draw a scene where they finally made it out of the city, looking tired, and worn out but not hopeless. They are still trying to hold on to their hopes and find some answers about all their overwhelming dilemmas.

By the way, these series of conceptual arts are true to their nature. They are just an exploration of possibilities for the plot as wells as an inking, rendering and paneling practice.

This particular art was done in an ordinary sketch pad and was inked and colored using ordinary sign pen and alcohol-based colored markers. The art was then post-processed in PS CC 2015 including the text box and the labels below.

I hope you liked this art!

SIDAPA as bespoke Suit Maestro AU

Photoshop CC 2015

130+ non-consecutive painting hrs

Finally! My most complex digital artwork to date is finished! I'm proud to present to all of you the cover page of the very first "KISIG TALAAN" fashion magazine of New Manila, featuring none other than the cold, and calculated Maestro of the best bespoke suits in the country. How does your style (and your life) measure up to his standards? Grab your own copy now in the nearest bookstore to find out!

I cannot actually recall my earliest memories of being fascinated with suits. I find them really sexy. So, I decided to draw Sidapa in a double breasted pinstripe suit. I am actually torn between drawing him in a suit, in a Barong Tagalog, or in a pre-colonial clothing. But in the end, I decided to go with the suit, and later with the two. I'm also planning to draw Bulan, Malandok, and Bakunawa next. That is if I don't get tired of drawing them in suits. (I still have not designed my own version of Bakunawa though!)

For those who are wondering what’s with the title of the Magazine, “KISIGTALAAN” is a portmanteau of Tagalog words “Kisig” and ‘Talaan’’ which means handsomeness/elegance, and list/entry respectively. So, the magazine is supposed to be all about Men’s fashion. The concept behind this cover page is originally just to satisfy my suit fetish but lately, I realize I can actually incorporate Sid’s backstory by adding a simple yet symbolic detail that is the measuring tape. If you don’t know yet, Sidapa, being the God of Afterlife or death, measures every man’s life by marking a part of the tree where he lives. That mark signifies the lifespan of someone. If that someone’s branch reach that mark, he’ll die. 

This artwork is purely painted in Photoshop CC 2015, using Catch Kandle brush of GrutBrushes Artisanal Photoshop Brushes for most of the painting. It took me at least 7 days to finish, working for about non-consecutive 130 hours. If you enjoyed this art, you can share it so that more people can enjoy it.
