There will be more projects from AD.Nap in 2014(sorry no spoiler xD), however I probably won't have time to join those projects.

New Touhou Card game 决死之梦·复苏之风

This is a remake of 决死之梦 card game from Chinese Artist Group 绯色永恒

I joined the project last year and It's a pleasure to work with so many good Artist XD (I was doing a Sakuya character card and "The world" spell card XD)

Here's the promotional video of the card game

Apparently there's 151 cards in total, including character card, spell card and event/battle field cards, and every single card was drawn in very detailed quality.

However I guess you still need to read Chinese in order to know how to play the game XD




This is the Taobao Link for people who would like to order the card set

The new Pokemon Artbook by Ad.nap should be coming out soon as well

2014 Updates and Current works

SO....Happy NEW YEAR~~~~

I happened to had lots of life problem since end of last year and still having those problems XD
But everything's working fine for me so far, and I got a feeling that everything will eventually get solved.

New Goal for 2014, become more successful in my career and improve my personal value!(duh?) Starting off by booking my driver Knowledge test on 31st of Jan, which happen to be the Chinese new year。 Apparently the test is actually harder than I thought due to the fact you can't get any question wrong except general knowledge...What if I clicked on the wrong option O A O"

Since last year, I'm taking constant mobile game card commission from 2 different companies, one is called "To the World"  and "Whomr". So, I don't really have much time doing own drawings or taking personal commission for fun right now OTL. Worst of all I can't really upload any working progress files as it would break the contract。And my blog just seem empty at the moment.

Ah well, I'm still joining friend's artbook, so there's still some images I can upload once a while at least~

As for drawing quality, I'm still trying to improve on the quality of my work and speed, I am not to the point that I can balance between quality and speed right now since both of those stats are lacking. I will try to improve within the year and work harder to reach my goal. Thanks god that there's a clear path for me to walk in now and I will see where I can reach in the end. There's some big problem with my coloring and choice of color. Apparently I'm still at the beginner level of coloring and yet to master any advanced skill nor experience such as drawing proper clothing texture and folds, doing them effectively without adding unnecessary steps and lines which in the end gonna make the whole image looks dirty, amateur and waste a lot of time.

Anyways that's all the serious talk, There would be a new book from Alice Overture this year (we finally got our money back after all those over-printing issue XD), and Panda from Adnap gonna make 3 books this year, the first one is gonna be pokemon themed, and release early this year. I happen to draw the Gold/Silver part of the book(yay, I get to draw Gold vs Red again~), once the book is released I will let you guys know.

Cheers

And here's some work in progress

That's it and wish me luck with the driver knowledge test~

Danganronpa - Zero n' Game Artbook by ADNAP

 Art for a new Chinese doujin group ADNAP

 Promotion video (Really nice quality XD~)

Pre-order link

http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=35329094443

The book is in Chinese only, but definitely worth every penny XD


*working on contracted mobile card games lately, doesn't have time for other doujin work OTL

Update: Thanks for DR 24 XD

Computer upgrades

Added a 2nd hand i7 2600 a month ago and a cooler master 212 EVO

And then over clocked the system to 4.1 GHZ. I know 2600 isn't really a good platform for overclocking but meh, getting extra juice out of it is always good, not to mention I never gonna use it for constant heavy load anyways.

Although 4th generation of intel's "I" series is out, but I doubt I actually need any upgrade higher than my current gear. Not to mention that I need to replace the motherboard too. (extra $100 wasted).

The system is pretty stable after 1 month of running and temperature rarely goes higher than 50(which is possibly the lowest temp for stock cooler) But the giant cooler is too big for the case, now I can't close it properly LOL.

Now I probably need to replace the power supply to a proper brand one, but meh...

Practice

Practice drawing before doing the R18 Card game thing....

hmmm doesn't look like the character lol

Panda's Saki book

Some old image done for panda's saki book

The book it self is on sale in China but they are not planning to sell it in other countries.

Here's the PV link for the actual book

PV LINK

More random drawing

More practice...saw someone wearing something similar to this wonder on the street - Although can't be see in the picture, but the headphone is actually those colorful funky headphone(probably made by Aerial 7), compared to the more oldish brown jacket and dark blue jeans, it created somewhat strong impression with the strong contrast. O w O Can't remember what she was wearing exactly though..cos I went onto 6 hour shift right after lol~

Drawing stuffs like this are pretty fun for me, maybe I should start taking reference photos and add backgrounds to these too.

However, I'm not really a fan of this kind of clothing in real life - give her a cap sideway and we can call that "SWAG"...but putting them on 2D characters does give these style a different feel...(hard to explain)

On a side note I'm finding those Adidas shoes are pretty suitable for this kind of character... maybe I should start a fan-book for Adidas shoes instead LOL
