Finally sharing the OC mini comic I made a year ago for the xianxia oc zine Jade Reverie!

Honestly some of my favorite comic work I've done.. there are a lot of areas for improvement, but overall, im very happy with what I did

Pg 1: two highschoolers, a middle aged corporate cog, and a military veteran find themselves trapped in a strange, fantastical dimension. The corporate worker seems to have had experience with this phenomena before

Pg 2: a talking bone fish arrives, introducing the microdimension they're trapped in as a "temple" while referring to the people gathered as players. The bone fish is recognized by the corporate worker as the guide for this temple instance.

Pg 3: many many miles and 2 whole dimensions away is Zhen Jiyue, the jiao dressed in black, who is revealed to be the one speaking through the bone fish. Unfortunately, the medium he uses to scry and connect across space time has shattered under prolonged stress/overuse.

Pg 4: yueyue turns to sanyin, the girl in light colors, demanding her to fix the shattered medium. Sanyin on paper is his support and loyal partner, but the reality of yueyue's demanding job and poor emotional regulation leads to a much more strained, animosity filled relationship.

Pg 5: sanyin does fix the medium, with much reluctance, and expresses her irritation (she is mute). Due to the time sensitive nature of yueyue's job, she does not put up much of a fight, but nurses her long-formed resentment towards yueyue.

After yueyue regains control of the bonefish + subsequent situation in the temple, he's calmed down enough for the guilt and shame towards how he acted to surface.

Yet his own inner conflict is not enough to inspire him to change. It seems that, as of now, yueyue embodies the sea that is his domain, forever isolated in abyssal waters.

Leftover sales are open for the xianxia oc zine btw... go buy now..

I think this is the first time I shared anything substantial abt my ocs/comic story wip on tumblr? I mightve shared my minotaur art but it's not a comic.

Anyways this universe/story wip is unlimited flow based, thus pulling references/inspo from various lit, mythology, etc etc. Yueyue is 蛟龙 while sanyin is 鲛人. They're not related by blood but are forced to live in the same abandoned underwater kingdom together/forced to have some kind of relationship with each other, which takes the form of coworkers + boss and underling + maybe siblings on a good day.

The Embrace - Graphite pencil on paper

I'm taking 2D Design this semester, and our first project was to mech together a variety of elements based on an existing art piece. Mine is based on this Piece by Yoshitaka Amano. Cordyceps live rent free in my head (if you know, you know) and it was an interesting project to work on. I haven't done a finished illustration with pencil in so long it was a bit of a challenge.

Week 6: Color Scheme

Finally working with colors in 2-D Design

This week I had to go back and choose 3 of my old pieces I made in class, then re do them and apply a type of color scheme!

I used colored pencil for all of them, but a combo of alcohol markers and colored pencil for the first one ↓

Tetradic: 4 colors on the color wheel selected in a rectangle so there is 2 sets of complimentary colors and it creates a vibrant and balanced color pallette (I chose Lime Green and Red-Orange, then Magenta and Blue)

Analogus: 4 colors on a color wheel that are directly next to each other (Mine are Yellow, Green, Teal, and Blue)

Monochromatic: A color pallette where you choose one color but you use a tint (main color + white), shade (main color + black), and/or tone (main color + grey), to add variation. I tried to go for a sepia filter (the kind you use on photos) color scheme with a reddish brown.

Hand-Shy

My final project for 2D Design from a few semesters ago. We were instructed to include color theory (I used a monochromatic yellow-orange color scheme here), value focal points (the out-of-focus hand having low contrast from the background and the black cat being the main focus), and extreme shapes telling emotion (the cat taking an exaggerated dip resulting in a huge back arch, in which said arch is accentuated with extremely raised hackles). Looking back, this is a pretty rough painting, and a very empty background. It could've used a little more of an established environment to give the scene a little more natural life tbh. Completed May 25th, 2023.

Info on the painting below:

A slightly abstracted caricature of Silhouette, an outdoor cat who briefly resided in my backyard before moving on elsewhere. He, unlike his brother Shadow, was far more feral at heart, and was afraid of being pet, and preferred to hunt his food rather than have the processed stuff handed to him. Because we were renting this house, I could only feed and care for them outside, so I wasn't able to get them fixed or anything, which may explain why they and their mother Luna (who had them in one of my bushes), have all eventually moved on. Even Shadow, now, who stayed with us about two years after his mom and brother went their separate ways.

Shadow, by the way, hasn't come back since Halloween (a scary time to be a black cat because there's some cult out there who sacrifices black cats on that day). A month later, we saw on the neighborhood watch's Facebook that someone had taken in a black cat, who I strongly believe was him since it looked a lot like him. If that's so, I'm relieved that Shadow finally got the warmth and safety and cushy life of a housecat that he'd always wanted. It was hard caring for a cat I was unable to let in my house or get fixed. I really hope our neighbor knows what to do for him.

Dragon’s Playground!

One of my all time favorite pieces I did in 2024, omg it was such a fun assignment. Combining Highlights inspired illustrated spreads with goofy dragons felt great from start to finish.

Sedna - Technical pen on paper

This is based on the Inuit mythology of Sedna, the Mother of the Sea. Cast into the frigid waters by having her fingers severed as she clung to the side of her father's boat, her fingers turned into all the seals of the sea, and she the ruler of the deep. Sedna is to be feared and respected.

One of my favorite Illustrations I've done, I absolutely love working with ink. Another project for my 2D design class.

Been noodling away at this glam-rock visualization for Tonic (the main character from Color of a Mirror). Very graphic/black and white work so far, which from a design standpoint is probably my comfort zone. Now it's time to see how far I can push this in terms of materials/colors/rendering.
