Speed painting of Battle Angel Alita (Gunnm). It actually took me about a few hours or so.
I know that James Cameron has plan to make "Battle Angel" for years, but it seems that it will not be on his priority list any time soon. Now he's working on Avatar then Eva...I guess it's going to be a long while.]]> Thu, 24 Jan 2008 19:39:27 +0000 http://xia.cgsociety.org/gallery/558853

Just a quick fun cartoon concept illustration I did using Photoshop.

I have this idea about the creature or monster race that consume girls body into itself and use them as energy source and walk around with bodies all over it. It came to me when I was about falling asleep sketching. Then I come back, scanned it and render it in Photoshop.]]> Wed, 05 Sep 2007 16:17:08 +0000 http://xia.cgsociety.org/gallery/236717

A quick creature concept I painted, using photoshop. Enjoy
NOTE: I have no idea why it has "3D" on the title.
I didn't use any 3D application at all. ???!!!
"NightTerror"
On the very top of the food chain, the predator flies high in the sky. They usually come in a group of five to six from up above.
An average Phyllodylain is 4 ft high standing, 6-11ft wings-span, and about 6 ft tail length. Their estimate top speed is around 130 mph.
They navigate using high frequency (sub-sonic) echolocation, except they can actually visualize the surrounding like what we see in ultrasound.
The hunt: They are always out at night because of their sub-sonic echolocation has vast advantage over other creatures’ vision. The darker it is, the better for Phyllodylian.
The most fascinating about this creature is self-generated electricity. The nodules around its neck and tail can generate high voltage. It spots its prey from up above
using echolocation, then fly over and slash it with its tail. Then fly away. This will create a shock in the victim’s nervous system and shut it down entirely.
After the prey became paralyzed, Phyllodylian then come back and pick it up. Easy meal.
Funfact: Phyllodylian has 350 lb pressure bite, very firm indeed, often use to make larger preys into smaller pieces.

A piece that I did for small concept contest. Many people and myself are confuse of what Siren should look like. This is just my personal take on it. It's done in PS. Hope you like it.

A quick illustration I did for friendly contest at CA. It's my version of mermaid got lost wandering around in deep sea. Then she end up in the sharktopus territory.
About six to eight hours of work in PS. Enjoy
