Sticker collection for Supplement Product


 A few years ago, I got an order to do a set of sticker collection for one supplement company. They wanted to be specific in each sticker with details and such, related to nature, animals and disasters. The underlying meaning was to show that we can overcome all of it with our strength by the power of nature itself. This was only one example out of 10 designs/ illustration for the sticker in different custom cutout shapes.

Another Design Idea Was Copied Just Like That

This was another lesson learned for me back then a few years ago. Someone offered me a design project but it turned out to be an empty project offer in the end after they ghosted me. They without at least feeling guilty then invited me to their design contest. I was a very positive thinker back then to even join it thinking that they perhaps wouldn't do something bad again. 

However, my expectation was too high on them. I submitted my design as below just to be copied by other designer in that contest as per their request after I withdrawn from it due to thinking this contest wasn't worth my time and no respond at all from them. I found out later on when they decided the winner after a while that my design has been used by other after they 'tweaked' it a little. 

No apology, no remorse, nothing. The funny thing was, they tried to invite me to another project and contest again after that and I completely ignored them. Luckily, this type of people were only the minority compared to other good clients who used my design and illustration service.

Kpop Demon Hunters Unique Costumes


  After I watched this movie back then, somehow I couldn't help but notice that the characters' outfits or costumes were pretty interesting. Especially for Huntrix. I like Rumi's leather-like yellow jacket which complimented by the short pants and white shirt. The embroidered and stitched color combination details in it was good. The other characters also wore a nice combination which would be a perfect match with harmonious color tones.  
 
Another costumes also looking luxurious with shiny gold details on black and white colors. As for daily wears, with just hoodie, loose t-shirt, floral jacket, hats and pants were also look casual on them.  
 
As for the Saja boys, somehow the costumes were softer and girlish with more pink tones and light and brighter colors for either daily costumes or while performing in front of the audiences.
 
The pictures are solely for references only and not mine but belong to the rightful owner of this movie. I only draw the fan art.

From Sketch to Digital Drawing for a School Task

One day, a few years ago, I got a special request from a dad. He wanted me to make digital drawing versions of his daughter's 2 sketches. And so I did and these were the results.

He told me that these were for her school task which she would presented in front of her classmates. He was so happy after seeing the results and he said he can't wait to show it to her. 

These were actually truly fun and special for me, especially the part of helping a dad to make his daughter happy and helped her in anyway he can.

MENTAL HEALTH AWARENESS illustration concept


Mental health awareness themed illustration. 

This was an initial concept for an illustration related to mental health (depression, anxiety, heartbroken and imprisoned in our own mind). I was thinking what would it look like, and then, this idea showed up in my mind. They said it should have been much simpler but I thought it was all about taste and preference.

SQUID GAME 3: CONCLUSION

I know this is far late for an opinion about this series, however, I think I still need to write it down anyway. What can I say? To be honest I just read the review and short explanation of each episodes without watching it. 

Since I also dropped it at season 2 after a few episodes. I knew it when I watched the beginning of season 2, it won't be as great as the original season 1. The new characters somehow were not memorable enough, the main character stayed stupid, the police guy stayed naive, all other things were pretty much similar to previous season but maybe only the games were different. With all that mentioned above, which meant, element of surprise was close to nothing. 

The villain stayed the smartest of them all. And I could predicted that season 2 and 3 were only continuation to each other and not a whole new season of their own. The mission to let the world know of traditional Korean games is succeeded but the whole point of story did not inspire people of goodness, but only showing the bad still win although there might be a little hope. 

I think in the end, my expectation is not to see the villain win, why? In real world there are already too much of it. At least in fiction we can count on the good guy but my wish was not come true in this one. Based on reality? Yes, almost all of it and too much. Therefore, if you look for a warmhearted entertainment? I don't think it is worth your time. 

The point which related to fashion is maybe about the uniform of the contestants in the drama and also the notable pink soldiers. Other than that, I don't see anything worth to notice.

Book Cover design Concepts - Between illustration or Photo editing

These were a throwback of some of my book cover concepts throughout the years for different purposes and themes.

Most of them were illustrations and the rest were mixed of photo editing. However, no matter how good I did it or put the best effort on it, in the end, it was all based on the client's taste. 

Feel free to contact me for any illustration project because I prefer illustration for its originality and creativity over photo editing.
