Lately I have been obsessing about character development a lot. Part of the reason is the Project 365 Vector Characters that I have undertaken. Part of the reason is my deep seated need to always give life to the whimsy, quirky, fantastically random and imaginary characters that reside inside my head. Character development is a

Day 15 – Sly Scabbard Today I create a character that many of you might not know about. Well he is a pirate, that is obvious. But I don’t write a storyline for him. That is because I want you to guess what he may be? I include some clues in the graphic itself

Day 14 – Rousse Rousse has freckles on her face and hearts in her eyes. She is Cupid’s dearest mate and she floats over the streets of Paris, taking in the romance and charm of the city through her big, brown eyes. A thunderstorm is brewing in Sydney today and I see some dark

Day 13 – Boothman If all the superheroes in the world need a means of hiding their identity while saving the world in a jiffy, what would that be? I am having one of those crazy thoughts today, my mind flitting on this and settling on that. I am at my window looking onto

Day 12 – Aquari I watch Avatar today. It is an amazing story, vivid with color and imagination. I wonder about rain, wonder if there was a magical place with magical creatures that churned out water, then what would that place be like. I name my new planet Cerulena [as in blue] and I

Day 11 – Princess Margo Once upon a time, there lived a princess in the land of Orchinton. She was the prettiest maggot in seven lands and had royal galas wooing her, sundowners romancing her and maggots vying for her hand in marriage. But one cold, blustery night, the evil queen Wormillina; banished Princess

Day 10 – Lightron The driving test is done, I don’t make it. On the way back home, I am thinking of traffic lights and what a cool character they would make. Maybe I should think more about the test, which I end up doing. Several hours later when the disappointment of failing the

Day 9 – Kraak Eggson I start late today and no matter how hard I close my eyes, the inspiration doesn’t hit me. I reach for my sketch book from my Singapore days and start flipping the pages of sketches I was doing back then to exercise my mind and fingers. I see a

Day 8 – Shinobi Aru I sit down thinking "What Object?". I see a cassette tape in my mind’s eye [lately I have been obsessing about them a lot]. "Extinction .. or almost!" I think aloud. A fabulous idea takes root and for the first time since I started doing these characters, I reach

If you are here, you must have already checked out Part I of the post, did you? This is Part II of some quality, handpicked photo manipulation inspiration that I lost a couple of months ago and found it by chance in a text file. The artists who created these pieces are truly amazing, their

A couple of months ago, I had sat and compiled a photo manipulation roundup over a good many hours. The compilation was lost and one thing led to another and I never got around to doing that post. It was a happy fate of chance when I came across the links I had saved at

Day 7 – Patch Voda I find an old sock bunny that went missing a few months ago. It is in bad shape and has things stuck to it. A very random thought comes to me. Voodoo dolls! Come to think, I have never seen one in real life. I have only seen pictures.

Day 6 – Mumusuki I am craving sushi today. I make a base sushi character in 10 minutes. Then I spend almost 4-5 hours on and off being thoroughly dissatisfied with what I do to it. After wasting a whole day, I finally like what I see. And so Mumusuki is born! She is

I have been coming across more and more "grown up" vectors that have a conscience, that tell a compelling story. The artistic expression in these vectors is amazing, the detailing in some and the impact of the artist’s thought process is awe-inspiring. A lot of them touch base with what is wrong with the society,

Day 5 – Bunga Today out of the blue, I am thinking of the boomerang I used to have and how it got lost when I moved from Singapore to Australia a few years ago. I get onto a Wiki and start reading about boomerangs {yes, I am weird sometimes, I know}. I read
