4. Concept Art Should Have A Concept Not Just Art!


Started as a 30-minute spitpaint titled Royal Cat, this is 5 hrs later. I grew up watching romantic epic films from the past and as a kid, I'm a sucker for period uniforms and armors. The Queen mother stretches her arm straight and in formal pose signifies royal bearing and position. The daughter, the new queen, cannot be in contact with outsiders. The geometric silhouettes on the royalties signifies regimented, rigid, and very formal lifestyle. The profile of the Sphinx echoes the profiles of both queen and mother. This shows their family dynasty. The papyrus message is directly in front of the sphinx as if coming out of it's mouth. This shows that this message is honest as if coming also from the mouth of their ancestors. On the other hand, the Roman emissary and general behind him are in less formal poses and uniform showing less respect to the authority in front of them. Right hand on the gladius shows readiness and bit of distrust. General behind leans slightly to his left getting a glance of the new queen. Warm light behind the women for their warm hospitality. Cool light behind the Romans for their hidden intention. Visual Aesthetics for effective Concept Art is part of my lecture when I do Visual Development workshops. Fun exercise.


Original 30-minute spitpaint.

5. iPad Paintings: Procreate App




Been lazy with my iPad paintings lately. These are the more recent ones I did. One on top was a late night painting. One at the bottom is an early morning view of my backyard. Both done in Procreate app. Fun.

7. iPOP Culture Festival in Hong Kong


I'll be at the iPOP Culture Festival in Hong Kong on October 19-23. This fest is part of celebrating last week's opening of the two-level, 15000 sq. ft. all glass, most expensive Apple store in the world located at the IFC shopping mall in HK (complete with Steve Jobs' classic staircase inside). The organizers commissioned me to do 10 iPad paintings which they will exhibit during the festival. I will also do a two-day iPhone/iPad painting demo during the event.

Since it's Halloween season, the theme for the ipaintings they gave me is Hollywood horror classics. I gave my own, fun take on them and here's one of the ten.

They will also show the stroke by stroke quicktime videos of these ipaintings. All artworks are not retouched outside iPhone/iPad and completely done using Brushes and Photoshop Express apps. Will post more after the event.

17. O Holy Night...























O holy night! The stars are brightly shining,
It is the night of Our dear Saviour's birth.
Long lay the world In sin and error pining,
'Til He appear'd And the soul felt its worth.
A thrill of hope The weary world rejoices,
For yonder breaks A new and glorious morn.
Fall on your knees! O, hear the angels' voices!
O night divine, O night when Christ was born;
O night divine, O night, O night Divine.

Truly He taught us To love one another;
His law is love And His gospel is peace.
Chains shall He break For the slave is our brother;
And in His name All oppression shall cease.
Sweet hymns of joy In grateful chorus raise we,
Let all within us Praise His holy name.
Christ is the Lord! O praise His Name forever,
His power and glory Evermore proclaim.
His power and glory Evermore proclaim.

"Maligayang Pasko sa inyong lahat at manigong bagong taon!"

18. Hybrid

©Armand Serrano.
A quick doodle which I would call a hybrid since I painted it using Brushes app on my iPod Touch then up-resed, highlighted and detailed in photoshop. Took me 45 minutes total for the whole process.
