Folklore Project

A nereid befriends a human girl. In a small coastal town, secrets are revealed and old legends are uncovered.

--I need to write a better synopsis but in the meantime here are some story moments I imagined and managed to visualize:

Some color exploration below: I picked the one where it’s kind of right after the rain stops and sunlight seeps through the clouds a little bit. Maybe an abandoned house isn’t so spooky after they shed some light on the truth behind its history

I was so inspired by pagan rituals that are still practiced around the world. Also Denmark finally subconsciously influencing my work after being here for 2+ years XD




Here are some preliminary drawings I did for the design of the nereid:

iPad Drawings + timelapse process

Some recent iPad drawing experiments with process timelapse :)

Ipad Pro Sketches

Just havin' fun testing workflows and tools on the ipad pro+apple pencil :)

Quick Scenes

Thumbnail comps in value. Done to exercise efficiency and visual clarity in shot composition. I am learning sooo much from Nathan Fowkes' Pictorial Composition lectures at Schoolism. 

Some of my random ideas. Motorcycles and...kali versus zombies! :p

I just wanted to draw cute animals :3

Anybody watch Avatar The Last Airbender? Wish more of the Fire Nation's past was explored!

aaand just some still life with arrangement

Girls Who Don't Give A F*ck

Kaysal

This was something I dreamed about. Reckon it was my brain trying to process and archive the structures I saw in Istanbul but it got mixed up with some of the colonial Baroque of old Manila. I'm a lucid dreamer and it's nice when I dream of cities and can walk around them xD

Also sketched some characters as an afterthought. They're the acrobats (off-duty) in the above scenes.

The Quest

Some select concept artwork I did for a game project that got shelved. This was from last year, actually. And it was totally just left! No NDA issues, since they upped the stuff online already during  crowdfunding phase.

Unfortunately, there were some budget cuts from top. The client I was corresponding with suddenly ran off without a word. Yeah, shit happened no matter how I protected myself by agreement or how meticulous I was about transactions. Oh well, at least I earned some money from this and I got to practice a lot, too. On the job is always the best training.

For the Ocean

Sigrid loves to explore the rocky coastlines and caves of her hometown, looking for slugs, shellfish, and barnacles. "It's research!" she protests, no matter how many times her parents tell her to stop getting her sweaters and leggings muddy. She is relentless about becoming a marine biologist.

One day she meets Nimue, a water elemental.

...or a selkie, or a rusalka, or a mermaid depending on where you're from. Well, it's folklore so I allowed myself some creative fact-blurring.
