Man, I really miss the halcyon days of free time…
after 12 consecutive monthly illustrations (plus the 11 i did for the special issue), it’s time to move on and pass the reins to a new artist. whoever he/she is, good luck. i don’t pretend that illustrating for a men’s magazine is the most glamorous job in the world, but i’d like to think it was a nice project to work on. it helped me learn a thing or two about my style; and it did garner me some exposure, it being the philippines’ number one magazine, across all genres.
long story short: it was good while it lasted. now onto other things.

it’s basically a free-for-all thing where you get to strut your creative muscles, the only unifying theme being pepper and/or wanda’s red and blue headphone-like thingamajigs.
you, chun li. thunder thighs and all.
illustration for FHM Philippines’ April 2007 issue. this month’s topic: how to do it in a public pool! i don’t come up with these topics, i just draw them!
weird thing: the water took longer to render than drawing the girl… water’s such a bitch to render! needless to say, i was satisfied with how it came out.

painted in PS7. the girl is hand drawn but the background’s all photoshop.
may 2010 be a year of blessings for us all. no matter how difficult it may get, i pray that we have the strength to overcome and stand tall.
for my part, i’m pretty bummed by the fact that i only got to do a couple of issues with them, the first being Codegirl’s debut and, ironically, this time, her farewell issue.
oh well, you know what they say about all good things…
pscs2 with a wacom intuos 3, around 6 to 8 hours. done two and a half months ago.
Featured here is the alternate fan-service (oh-no-he-didn’t…!) version. Since it’s the magazine’s Manga Issue, this is my nod to the time-honored, juvenile manga/anime tradition of the panty shot.
Tons of tips, tricks, and workshops inside the magazine, including a walkthrough of how this particular illustration was created.

this is my rendition of major motoko kusanagi, protagonist of shirow masamune’s seminal graphic novel, Ghost in the Shell.
it’s almost ten years to the day since I read an article in Wizard Magazine about the rising influence of manga in american mainstream comics. in that article were colored pieces from shirow masamune’s Intron Depot artbook. in a time when photoshop was hardly as popular an artistic tool as it is now, masamune’s color work was by far superior to his contemporaries… and he drew his artworks with WATER-BASED ACRYLICS!
you can say that i pursued self-studying how to color because of shirow masamune’s work. talk about influence, man!
anyway, i hope i do the major some justice with this one.

There is no specific recipe for this dessert, and a wide variety of ingredients are used. The order in which the ingredients are added varies widely, but generally it is mixed together prior to serving. Primary ingredients include red mungo beans, kidney beans, garbanzo beans, sugar palm fruit (kaong), coconut sport (macapuno), andplantains. Other components may include jackfruit (langka), star apple, tapioca or sago, nata de coco, purple yam (ube) or sweet potato (kamote), sweetened corn kernelsor pounded crushed rice (pinipig), flan or custard, and gelatin. Other fruits, such as papayas, avocados, kiwifruit, or cherries, may also be added. Some preparations also include ice cream on top of the halo-halo.
Generally, condensed milk or evaporated milk is used instead of fresh milk, due to the tropical climate of the Philippines.
this drawing is around two months old and executed with my ‘fast colors’ style, a style that uses airbrushes for the most part, to cut down on the blending process.

it’s kitty and her crew rocking out in one of their earlier gigs, when she had a lot more angst and no time for love. ah, to be young..
In the aftermath of the 7-year long Battle of Kazkhan, an all-out war between the kingdoms Abyssinia and Cordonne, Cordonne’s victory is short-lived as their King is found brutally murdered in his bedchamber. What follows is a series of clandestine events that unite a princess, a knight and a sorcerer to solve their King’s mysterious demise…
Princess
Goes underground after her father, the King of Cordonne is murdered. The brooch she wears in her hair was a gift from the Monarch of Abyssinia 10 years ago, in an inter-kingdom banquet for the Pact of Peace between Abyssinia and Cordonne. She refuses to let it go, this symbol of a life she once had and a peace her father had once believed achievable. Armed with the Cusp of Monarchs, the sacred sword of the Cordonne Royal Bloodline, she seeks to unravel the mystery of her father’s death.
Knight
Served in the Battle of Kazkhan as an Armada Commandant of Cordonne’s Elite Unit. Three years into the Battle of Kazkhan, the Knight is severely wounded. Disillusioned with the War, the Knight turns to skypiracy for several years. During the closing year of the Battle of Kazkhan, the King of Cordonne pleads for the Knight to return to the kingdom, this time as the blossoming Princess’ retainer and mentor. When the King was murdered, the Knight immediately took the Princess underground, fearing that she would be the killer’s next target.
Sorcerer
One-time Royal Adviser and long-time friend of the King of Cordonne, the Sorcerer was vehemently against the war between Abyssinia and Cordonne. His stand against the war cost him not only his position as Royal Adviser, but also strained his friendship with the King. Speculators say that the Sorcerer was against the war because the battleground was his homeland of Kazkhan; but the Sorcerer maintains that the conflict might have been averted had the King practiced lenient diplomacy. Now, the day after the King is murdered, the King’s daughter stands on his doorstep, asking for his help to exact vengeance.

Adopting the moniker, One Shot, she acted as a unique target “sniper” for the UPA military.
It was not long before she was approached by the security firm, Black Diamond. Their promise of wealth proved too irresistible to deny and at the conclusion of her term of service she immediately moved to their employ.
The decision has proven lucrative for both her and Black Diamond; the Guild being more than willing to pay large sums to have their precious ships’ cargos protected by a Relic Knight.
Princess Malya, her cypher Mr. Tomn, and relic Sedaris will be available from Soda Pop Miniatures this November as two, 32mm scale, multipart pewter models in a single blister. Be sure to check out our website for updates on Princess Malya and other Soda Pop Miniatures characters!

Of the clandestine organization known as the Pepper Task Force, little is known. As such, the only credible information available are as follows:
The Pepper Task Force specializes in neutralizing despots, sabotaging the development of WMDs, and generally keeping the world as we know it from crumbling. Armed with operative-recognition arsenal (O.R.A.) blades and handguns, they conduct their missions covertly, with a success rate of 99.9998%. Covert operatives affiliated with said organization are identified by their code names; Agent Wanda, Female, Age Unknown; Agent Majin, Male, Age Unknown. They are headed by a person simply known as Pepper, Gender Unknown, Age Unknown. This Office speculates that there are more unidentified operatives, given the numerous missions in several locations unofficially credited to the Pepper Task Force, and the timing by which these missions took place.Further investigation pending.
