Splat of IDEAS - My 2014 Portfolio

Here is my newest portfolio, which contains some of my selected works as an in house graphic designer and as a freelance graphic designer.

How I Create Some of My Works-Painting

To be honest, it's almost a year for me not to create some digital arts (due to a lot of university's projects deadline and some stuffs I had to do).

Fortunately, I still have "my drawing style" (I dunno whether it's good or not) like before.
Like usual, I like to draw the sketch and color it using Paint Tool Sai, because for me, it's more easy for sketching and painting. The brush pressure is easily to control then using Photoshop (but, it's up to some people personal taste).

HOWEVER for this time, I'm not draw my sketch using Sai, but on a piece of paper using a pencil. After that, I scan it and color it using Sai. For the finishing touch, I use Photoshop.

Here are some screenshot about how I made my painting (not always like this though):

NOTE:

1. Clean sketch (traditionally drawn or digitally drawn, it's up to you). 

I can draw in both way, thought I personally prefer to draw a sketch in a traditional way. If it is a traditionally drawn sketch, make sure that you have cleaning it first before continue to the next step.

2. Coloring 

In this step, I done all the coloring (from base color until the shading)

3.Finishing Touch

I did this step using Photoshop. Usually, in this finishing touch session, I will add some background (if the original sketch don't have a background) or some brush effect and text.

For this piece of drawing, I want to make "a recycle art" looks, so I decide to make it looks like it had been drawn on a piece of crumpled paper. :) 

Low Poly Modeling Reel

This is my university's project for 3D Modeling Subject.
The main issue here is to create a low poly model. As a reference, I use Strike Noir Gundam (from Gundam Seed: Stargazer).

However, the low poly model that I created was not exactly the same as the original Strike Noir Gundam because my lecturer told us to make some "modification" for the model.

So, my "Strike Noir" version, has a modification on it's wings and some parts ot it's body I made more simple than the original one.

I use 3D Max 2009 for modeling the low poly while some details are created using Z-Brush and some texture (decals) are made using Photoshop.

Compositing and finishing done in After Effect and Premiere.

Fixing a Broken Heart?

Well, I was "OK" when I create this post actually :))

The title of this post is about w video that I made during my university's day. One of my university's project.
The main issue for this project is about using Rayfire plugin (a plugin for Autodesk 3D Max) in the project, whatever the outcome is.

So, I decide to create a video for anyone who has been betrayed by someone they trust.

I used Rayfire to "break" the heart shape,a simple animation for the texts and some camera movement to make it looks dynamic.

For the background music, I use Beethoven's "Ode to Joy"

Here is the result:

Demoreel and Resume

This is my newest demoreel, which consist of some of my university's projects and some projects that I had during my internship period at Nice Idea Indonesia.

For the background music, I use O2 Jam- "V3 (Analog Mix)" by BeautifulDay

Simple Website Design Project

This is one of my college's group work for Indonesian's Art History 2 Subject (during my 2nd Semester of University).
To be honest, this project is kinda challenging for me because we didn't get any subject about creating a website (not for animation's major student, but there's for new media's major student).

Clueless about how to build a website, I'd try to create one using Ms. Publisher even Adobe Dreamweaver, and too bad that both of them didn't work for me. (My job desk is to create the web, while my team mates collecting the data).

So, by the recommendation from one of my friend, I try to create a simple website using Wix.

For the progress, we collect some data about Yogyakarta City by visiting Anjungan Yogyakarta at Taman Mini Indonesia Indah and collecting another data from the internet.

This is the snapshot of the WIP website:

And this is the Final Website

For the BGM of the website, I used "Suwe Ora Jamu", a traditional song from Central Java (because Yogyakarta City is located on Central Java)

Burning Flame with Fume FX

This is one of my favorite creation :D Another college's project for Technology of Animation's subject (My 6th Semester in University. The main goal for this project is to create an animation using 3D Max's Fume FX (an additional plugin for 3D Max).

While making this project, somehow I suddenly thought about a wizard who wanted to eliminate his foe. SO, he decided to trick his foe by dragging his foe into a dark room. After that, he began to cast some spell and burnt his foe inside a flame circle.

For the inspiration itself, actually came from  "Akuma wo Yobisouna Igirisu no Uta (Marshmallow Song)" (Hetalia OST.-Arthur Kirkland Character Song.) Sung by Sugiyama Noriaki. Because when my teacher assigned me for this project, I kept listened to that song :))
That's why I also used that song as the BGM for this short animation. For the character, I used Low Max, a human-like model for 3D Max.

For the flame circle, I used After Effect for masking and Fume FX (for 3D Max 2009) to generate the fire. Then for the finishing touch, I used After Effect (again) and Adobe Premiere for inserting the BGM music.

Here for the final result:
