Italiannies + Hokkaido Ramen Santouka + Captain America Movie

Hi all,

Some updates from yesterday!

I went to Italiannies, The Gardens with Sook Roong, Irene and Eesze for lunch. The lunch is really huge + it's just RM15.90 (most of us cannot finish our food lol). Then later at night, I was at Pavilion with SiaoGang for dinner (Hokkaido Ramen Santouka) before we watch Captain America! I quite like this movie compared to Green Lantern. Full of action and humor. I rate it 7.5/10.

PS : All the photos taken with my iPhone :)

Reference Image + Stockphotos used to create "Mark III Armor"

Hi all,

Here's the reference image & stockphotos used to create "Mark III Armor". If you notice the the reference image (see left) that I've got is pretty shinny cos it was rendered in 3D. After vectored it (see right), the smoothness won't be there but you can try to achieve it by putting in more effort. I want it too look more crisp, that is why I just leave it the way it is now :)

I wanted to do video about the vectoring process but came across similar steps just like mine (see below). It's the exact same way. Do check it out :).

Vector Art » Me in MARK III ARMOR (IronMan Suit) w/ Exclusive Before and After Viewer

Hi all,

Here's the final IronMan artwork from me. As some of you already know, I've done few artwork of IronMan since 2008. Check out these links : Artwork1, Artwork2, Artwork3, Artwork4. Spent a lots of time to work on this piece as I want to put more effort on the  details, the full body, the floor & the textures. Took me 3 hours to complete the wire-frame & it was pretty hard to find the reference image. Half way working on it, I encountered a problem. I didn't know Flash CS4 wont work well with the latest OS X Lion (see details here). The wire-frame was done using my iMac and remaining vector process (Took another 4 hours) was done using my MBP. Thank god I didn't update the OS yet, else I'm dead.
