With this commission you get Hi-Res jpeg and PSD. But if you order the Pre-Commission you will also receive an A3 print of it too!<br /><br />You can prepay for these commissions via PayPal or pay me cash when you pick it up at my booth at Armageddon.<br /><br />Examples of the commissions are below.<br /><br />If you are interested in getting a pre commission please email me at jinchanyumwai@gmail.com<br />

Well, my convention tour is over (I still love the sound of that). Both Supanova Sydney and Oz Comic-Con Melbourne were extremely successful. So successful in fact that I am currently sold out of High School Romance #1 in print. Don't worry though if you still want to read High School Romance #1 you can still purchase it digitally from <a href="http://graphicly.com/golden-boy-comics/high-school-romance/1" target="_blank">Graphicly</a> for a measly $1.99. (SHAMELESS PLUG)<br />
I never expected to have such a good experience having a table at a con this early in my "comic book career". People were stopping by the table asking for sketches, buying copies of both my artbook and High School Romance, and just stopping by to have a chat. It was so much fun! There is actually nothing cooler than people buying a copy of your comic and coming back the next day to let you know how much they enjoyed reading it.<br />
<br />
I also made some really awesome new friends. These guys are probably some of the coolest people you will ever meet in the Aussie comics community. They go by the name Space Pyrates but in real life they are called Mathew Hoddy and Caitlin Major. I met them at the end of Supanova Sydney and they were good enough to let me team up with them for Oz Comic-Con to create an unstoppable dream team of sexiness. To prove how cool these guys are they release their comic, also called "Space Pyrates" online for free as a webcomic! The comic is hilarious so if you are a fan of fun you gotta go <a href="http://spacepyrates.com/" target="_blank">check it out!</a><br />

I'll be back on the road doing another convention tour towards the end of the year. I am super amped to get up and do it all over again. Having a table at one of these conventions and meeting awesome people just reaffirms to me that this is what I want to be doing for the rest of my life. I will be going to Armageddon Melbourne and Supanova Brisbane to round off what my convention appearances for the rest of the year. Watch out for new chapters for High School Romance and maybe a guest appearance in Space Pyrates.</div>

That means that it will be less than a week away till I have my first table at a convention!<br />
<br />
After a few very intense weeks of drawing and planning I can now say that I am ready for Supanova. High School Romance #1 is <a href="http://graphicly.com/golden-boy-comics/high-school-romance/1" target="_blank">complete</a> and has been sent off to the printers. I have over 200 prints of 7 different design ready for sale. Accommodation in Sydney sorted. Everything is a GO!<br />

I mentioned in my first post of the year, this year is about action and I need to get things done. I feel that I am following through with that promise. Even though it took me a large amount of work to get to this point, for me this is the very beginning. From this point forward there is no turning back. As I now will be showing myself to the world in a very bold way by having a table at Supanova, I need to start fulfilling my promises and need to have more of an online presence through various social media. These are both things I need to work on.<br />
<br />
After Supanova Sydney then it's hopefully on to Oz Comic Con in Melbourne, unfortunately that is not 100% confirmed yet but I should find out later this week. And once that is over that should be the end of my tour (always wanted to say that) and I can get back into blasting through High School Romance again. I might have completed one issue but I still have 6 more to go.<br />
<br />
Oh man. This blog post is all over the place. I should start writing better. Anyways if you are in Sydney and are keen to hang out and be cool, then come find me at Supanova Sydney on June 16th and 17th. I have given you a map underneath to find me.<br />

So before I get onto what I want to talk about I am going to start off with some slightly bad news. Last post I mentioned a webcomic which I was going to start called "the Timeless Adventures of Zak + Zak". Well yeah..... It's not happening anymore. Let's just say that something else more exciting came along and now I won't have time to work on Zak + Zak. The new thing is much cooler anyways so don't worry you are not missing out on much.<br />
<br />
The good news is that I am working very hard on <b>High School Romance </b>in both creating the book and trying to find a publisher. I have to say that this is all extremely daunting. I have never worked on comic this big before. Most comics I have worked on there has been about 7-8 pages long. But High School Romance is a whopping 150+ pages. I really need to step up my game with this one and I am enjoying the challenge. Trying to find a publisher is also really tough but I have to say even though I haven't found one yet the feedback from High School Romance has been extremely positive. Which is always a plus.<br />
<br />
On a completely unrelated note. I have seen The Avengers. I saw it at midnight on opening night here in Australia and I must say it was spectacular. I feel sorry for Shane Black who has to follow that with Iron Man 3. The stand out character in the movie had to be the Hulk. He was utterly amazing and after watching Avengers I was telling myself "I have to draw Hulk". So I did. Enjoy.<br />
<br />
Aight I'm out.<br />

Over the last couple of days I have conjured up the idea of doing a webcomic. I just wanted to do something that people could follow along with for free. Initially I was going with the idea of doing one page of comic a week, which I would post on this blog. I wanted to start Friday! I had no story planned I was just going to wing it. Well... Friday came and I did come up with a concept and I even drew the page. But since I was in such a mad rush to get it done, it turned out crap. This wasn't the quality of comic I wanted to show the world.<br />
<br />
So I decided to sleep on it. Whilst at work today I thought about it more. Since Graphicly is now offering easy ways for independent creators to distribute their comics, why don't I take advantage of that. So not only will I be distributing a comic you can read on your browser anyone who has an iPhone, iPad, Android Phone or Tablet can also view the comic tailored specifically to what they are using.<br />
<br />
So what is it?<br />
<br />
I don't want to give too much away but "The Timeless Adventures of Zak and Zak" will be a monthly 100% free 5 page comic. Through Graphicly you will be able to read it on your PC, iDevice or Android Device. This comic will be a very experimental comic for me. It will be experimental in both format and artistic style.<br />
<br />
Anyways I hope you are excited for this little experiment of mine there will e more details over the next few weeks.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09909177800561288814noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8641189397045967839.post-14070512581012450242012-03-12T04:35:00.003-07:002012-04-22T21:56:15.180-07:00High School Romance.<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

Over the past few weeks I have been working hard on my creator owned project. That project is High School Romance. A story that I came up with around mid last year, I decided whilst on holiday in Mauritius that I was going to commit to it this year.<br />
<br />
If you follow this blog regularly you might have realised that the male character on the cover looks mighty familiar. If you look at the banner of this website you'll notice he's just casually sitting there drinking some soft drink! But if you dig even deeper you'll notice he looks remarkably alot like one of the characters I drew in the very first post of this blog. And it all comes together...<br />
<br />
Anyways I don't really want to give too much away at this point in time as it is still extremely early days. So I'll give you one panel of the comic to whet your appetites.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
So here is the final version of the image I showed you in my last post. As you can see I am experimenting with how I present the final works. This one was hugely inspired by <a href="http://www.t-wei.blogspot.com.au/" target="_blank">T-Wei</a>. He likes to take photos of his sketches in his sketchbook and finish them in photoshop, instead of scanning it. So I copied him. I love it. It's so much fun and inherently gives it a bit more awesome. I'll probably keep doing these. =D<br />
<br />
Starting with this picture I am trying to move away from doing too much fan art. You will probably still see some fanart from me but I will be dialling it back heaps.<br />
<br />
It's been fun!

For a blog called "the artistic flavours of jin and juice" I haven't really shown much "art" on here. That's going to change. I go on DeviantArt everyday. It might not look like it since I haven't updated that bad boy in like forever, but I do. Everyday I go on my inbox is full of inspirational art. stuff that I believe that I never come close to. So I'm going to start bettering myself when it comes to my art.</div>

Since I have been working very hard on my new creator owned comic, the whole process of creating art has been reinvigorated ten fold. I want to draw, draw, draw, draw. And so I'm going to. Since I have started with this forward momentum I'm going to keep it going. I'm going to draw at least one picture everyday. That sounds huge, but in the grand scheme of things, it isn't. If this was my career this is exactly what I would be doing so why not get into that mindset now.<br />
<br />
Let's see how long I keep this up for. Usually I promise these things and then I don't follow through.<br />
<br />
Oh and noticed how I changed the blog layout again. I think I am 100% happy with this one this time so I shouldn't be changing it up anytime soon.<br />

This leaves a bored Jin who can barely search the net and can not actually play DC Universe Online at all. So I thought that I would take some time to talk about something that has been on my mind a lot lately.<br />
<br />
Comics and the digital world.<br />
<br />
When it comes to comics it would seem that I have nearly gone 100% digital in every way possible. In both the consumption of comics and the creation of comics.<br />
<br />
With the huge rise in popularity of tablets and smart phones comics now have never been as easy to purchase and read as they are today. In fact now that all the major publishers are pushing for day-and-date digital comics I have dropped most of my comics that I pick up from local comic book store and and now get them digitally. Which ends up being much cheaper for me since I live in Australia and comics are here priced a bit higher than the American cover price. But digital comics haven't won me over on price, they have won me over on convenience. I am starting to get to the point where I have nowhere to put all my comics. Now that I have my entire digital library on any tablet device or PC in the world I couldn't be happier.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: -webkit-auto;">
<br /></div>
On the creation front though, things get even more exciting for me. I used to do everything the "old school way" using blue pencil on an art board, then pencils, then ink followed by scanning in 3 parts... The whole process is time consuming and since I do everything by myself in most of the comics I work on, everything becomes tedious and I just get sick of working on that page. Ever since the last page of <a href="http://www.stconline.co.uk/256/comic_1_1.html" target="_blank">Sonic the Comic Online #256</a> I have pretty much been doing my comic art on my computer with a tablet exclusively. What a difference it makes. Being able to play around with layers, move things around as I see fit, the whole process of making a comic has become super fun and most importantly fast. Since I am cutting out so many elements like the scanning and the touch ups more than half the time to finish a page has already been cut out. I actually can't believe I did it any other way now.<br />
<br />
As you can probably tell I am super excited about the digital future of comics. Especially with what Graphicly is now doing for creators with their digital distribution platform, it would only seem that the world of comics is about to explode with awesomeness. We are now going to see more great independent books come out that just couldn't before because of logistics, and we are going to see the art in comics taken to new heights as other artist also start experimenting with what can be done on a computer now days.<br />
<br />
Since I have been going on about digital one of the other cool things I can do is show you the process on how I work digitally. Check out the video below!<br />

The year of the Dragon. So that means that this is my year, as I was born in the year of the Dragon. And the goal is to make the most of this year... correction <b>my year</b> as possible. I have come out of 2011 with a shiny new Advanced Diploma and brand new feeling of confidence. If I play my cards right this will be a massive year for me.<br />
<br />
As you can see I have just given my blog and even my <a href="http://www.jinchanyumwai.daportfolio.com/">portfolio</a> a brand new coat of paint. Away with the blacks and in with the whites. i am really happy with the new look. I feel that it captures the direction where I want my art to head to over the next coming months. Oh... and the character in the banner for this blog is a little taste on what I am currently working on, which I am super... super excited about.<br />
<br />
So please... keep an eye on this space. Because this is going to be a big year for me and I would love to take all of you on that ride with me.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09909177800561288814noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8641189397045967839.post-91145416127295327102011-08-09T04:10:00.000-07:002011-08-09T04:32:50.466-07:00Sonic and Europe: Mission Complete!!<div style="text-align: justify;">So it looks like I made it back in one piece. I have actually been back for a while now but it has taken me a little while to get back into the swing of things.

</div><div style="text-align: justify;">"How was your trip?" "Did you meet that Sonic guy?" This is basically how all my conversations since I have been back has started. So I thought I would answer those questions here.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">In one word the trip as a whole was "Awesome!" I enjoyed every second of it and I am so glad that my best mate Dave was the guy that I did it with. Dave is definitely a trooper putting up with my snoring (which I never knew I did). In one month we did a lot of travelling. We went to London, Paris, Barcelona, Rome, Venice, Milan, Zurich, Berlin and Frankfurt. And during all that travelling we had so much Pizza.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

Being a massive Sonic the Hedgehog it was so awesome being surrounded by 2000+ people who are just like myself and wanted to show how much they loved this particular video game character.<br />

So since I have taken up so much of your time I'll get through the rest of the month quickly. One of my major highlights was the food. European food is sooo good. Whether it's baguettes from Paris, pizza or pasta from anywhere in Italy or paella from Barcelona. It was all so rich with flavour. Until I went to Italy I never knew how good mozzarella actually is.

And the crazy thing is that all the countries are so close to each other but they all have there own uniqueness to them, that you can clearly tell that you are in a certain country. Rome was amazing as the country just seemed to build around their heritage. You would walk around the city casually and then realise that you are at the Vatican or the Collesuem. Barcelona is probably one of the most laid back cities. Everyone just chills. Venice oozes romance. Every second being there made me wish I had brought my girlfriend along.

</div><div style="text-align: justify;">That's about the easiest way to sum up how I feel right now. One week from now I am going to the best Sonic the Hedgehog party in the world. <b>SUMMER OF SONIC!!!</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Last year as I was watching the awesomeness that was Crush 40 performing at Summer of Sonic 2010, I made myself a promise that for Sonic's 20th anniversary, I will be there. Nearly a year later and guess what? I'm actually going! Next thursday I am going to hop on a plane and travelling to London to what I imagine will be the greatest convention I will ever go to in my life.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Yes. Yes they are and so am I.</td></tr>
</tbody></table><div style="text-align: justify;">It is certainly going to be a special day for me. There are 3 people who have made my list of "people I must meet before I die" Ryan Reynolds, Akira Toriyama and <b>Yuji Naka</b>. Next Saturday that list goes down to 2 people. But meeting Yuji Naka is not the only reason it will be a special day. Over the last few years I have collaborated with wonderful and talented people to help bring the world <b>Sonic the Comic Online!</b> This will be the first time I will have met anybody who works on the comic in the flesh and I can't wait. We'll have our own table promoting the comic and doing something special on the day aswell.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">But Summer of Sonic is only the beginning of the journey. I haven't saved all this money to travel to London from Australia and party for one day. No way. After I conclude my time in London I will begin travelling Europe with my best friend, where Paris, Barcelona, Rome, Venice, Geneva, Berlin and Frankfurt are on the itnerary. This is going to be epic.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">So yeah. I'm a tiny bit excited.</div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09909177800561288814noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8641189397045967839.post-31670455182830392502011-05-08T06:39:00.000-07:002011-05-26T04:17:33.109-07:00Art Process: Batman & Robin<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div>I believe that the process of art is just as or sometimes even more interesting than the art itself. So I thought I would take you on the journey of how I go about doing some artwork.<br />
<br />
So.... Here we go!<br />
<br />
Yet again I was bored at work and drew another picture. If you haven't already guessed by looking at the title it's a picture of Batman & Robin.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIf4do2l1z_zQk7-Xdv-r5auc_fFnwDbfjNO_OEhzoqwGtdky4qxVYA0zL2uyqeuX08pu0DKyZT2Juw3CTMq4er2fYbVN7aCFva0s1BPHgkVc5gLmqsTIfEkXVciNN0tSYi5bM3yMiZv9m/s1600/pencil.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="226" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIf4do2l1z_zQk7-Xdv-r5auc_fFnwDbfjNO_OEhzoqwGtdky4qxVYA0zL2uyqeuX08pu0DKyZT2Juw3CTMq4er2fYbVN7aCFva0s1BPHgkVc5gLmqsTIfEkXVciNN0tSYi5bM3yMiZv9m/s320/pencil.jpg" width="320" /></a> </div><br />
Just drawn in a regular sketchbook I use two different pencils:<br />
<br />
1. A clutch pencil containing a 2mm non-photo blue lead.<br />
2. A mechanical pencil using 2B 0.5 lead.<br />
<br />
The reason I use the blue lead is that I can be super rough with my sketching and not having to worry about constantly erasing my work. Since it's a non-photo blue lead removing it once scanned is extremely easy. After doing my rough sketch and layout with the blue I then go over it again with my 2B pencil. Since all of the planning has been done it's simply tracing over my work and there should be minimal correction.<br />
<br />

Next up are the flats! Flats are the base colours for your image. As you can see here there is no shading or highlights and everything looks really bland. It's always a really good idea to flat everything in the picture before moving onto the shading and tweaking. That way you can get it all done in one big swoop and the light source is fresh in your mind.<br />
<br />
I also cropped the picture a bit to make the compisition a little more interesting and remove all the things I didn't draw in my sketchbook.<br />
<br />

Having a blog seem like the hip and cool thing to do so I started one. Here i'll post stuff from all over the joint, though you will mostly see my art stuff you can expect my thoughts on movies and comics and stuff about my life in general. So let's be done with the sappy introduction and get straight into the good stuff.<br />
<br />
Boredom is a powerful state and it's amazing what you can achieve when you are that bored. Whilst I have been working and we have had no customers I have been able to just do some sketches in my sketchbook. If you follow my deviantart you would recognise these.<br />
<br />

I'm pretty stoked with how both these pictures turned out, but I am been copping a lot of steam from my mates for not adding some graffiti. We'll see, if I can be bothered I might make some changes.<br />
<br />
And quickly before I head off, I saw the <b>Thor</b> moive on April 21 here in Australia. And it was awesome!!! Hoping to go see it again soon, cuz it was so boss.<br />
<br />
Anyways lates,<br />
