Rigor Mortis. 48in x 24in Mixed Media on Canvas. Artwork done for [Altered Realities: A Jiangshi Introspection]. Wave 2 opens tomorrow 21st October at @theblaxkspace and we’re super honored to be a part of it. When @thedanielyu invited us to participate in his show, we were a little bit anxious and were not quite sure how to begin working on his amazing character. Painting on canvas turned out to be a great decision. It allowed us to break some of our routine habits when drawing digitally and forced us to be uncomfortable once more. It’s always the challenging ones that are the most fun. Check out all the other amazing pieces by @anacathie @antz_rscls @mojokoworld @jessica_emmett @skl0_ at the show!

Bokang VS Brooks Poster. Grateful that I got to work with @onechampionship once again on another fight poster. This time round, I had the honour of illustrating Bokang Masunyane ( @littlegiant_bk )and Jarred Brooks ( @the_monkeygod ) for their upcoming Strawweight title-contender bout later today. Also included Joshua Pacio ( @joshuapacio ) as the final boss in the back, with the championship belt. All the best, fellas! While I love drawing robots, jobs like these are a good test of my rusty anatomy understanding. Also thankful for clients who understand what my art style is all about, and leave me with a lot of freedom to try and approach this the best way I can.

Doomsayer Chimp. Lately, I've been lacking motivation to post up my work. While I'm always thankful that work keeps pouring in, I will need to manage my time better to address the backlog of unposted artwork in my folders. Here's something that I messed around with early this year, but never go around to posting. Can't believe it's already April now.

Had the opportunity to design this poster with @anacathie for the @ONEChampionship ONE X event later today, featuring @angelaleemma @stamp_fairtex . It was challenging to capture the athletes' likeness, but I'm glad it all worked out in the end :) #ONEX | 26 March | Buy Tickets: bit.ly/ONEXTickets | Order PPV: Watch.ONEFC.com | For more info: @onechampionship (at Singapore Indoor Stadium) https://www.instagram.com/p/CbiY5EtBdI9/?utm_medium=tumblr

Colossal Titan. Started this last year to complete a trio of Titans, but never got round to finishing it till today. Definitely excited for the final part of the final season. Keeps me fidgeting all week waiting for the next episode. Also super hyped that @artsciencemuseumsg is having an AoT Exhibition next month! Will be an absolute treat to see some of @mr.isayama 's artwork up close. Thanks @spacelogicgroup / @sl.experiences ! Swipe to see the other Titans from last year.

Colossal Titan Sketch. Long overdue sketch that I recently inked. Always wanted to do this one. Keep your eyes peeled for the colours soon :) (at Singapore / Singapura / 新加坡 / சிங்கப்பூர்) https://www.instagram.com/p/CY4vQRaBgqo/?utm_medium=tumblr

Doomsayer. Farewell 2021, hello 2022! Or if you choose to believe the Doomsayer Chimp here, I guess this is goodbye. Was feeling particularly bleak last year and realized I never uploaded this sketch before. Probably will give it some colours later. #inkingcomics #inkingart #planetoftheapes #chimpanzee #doomsayer #chimp #chimpart #chimpartwork #chimpanzee #inkdrawings #comicbookartist #comicart #characterartist #characterart #comicartist #comicbookinking #creaturedesign #creatureart #creatureconcept #sketchbooktour #sketchbookpage #sketchbookpages #brushpenart #brushpens #pendrawings #pendraw #chimpanzees #pentelbrushpen #pentelpocketbrush #sketchbookdrawings (at Singapore) https://www.instagram.com/p/CYMemjhBslf/?utm_medium=tumblr

Street Dealin' 12 - By Your Run Camp Project. Going into this, @anacathie and I wanted to leave behind a 'bot squad' as a protector of the neighbourhood. We hope the kids are entertained! Totally guilty of doing a floater here. We were worried we wouldn't be able to finish on time back then. Thanks to @imfolker for all the assistance, and of course the folks at @garduhouse for such a great event. Sampai ketemu lagi in 2022!

Street Dealin' 12 - By Your Run Camp Project. I remember feeling super anxious and worried about not being able to wrap this up on time, considering how @anacathie and I are pretty slow. I also recall telling myself to relax and take everything in stride. Really enjoyed the interactions with the kids and residents of Kebayoran. Having mini conversations, tasting local food and giving out our stickers to passersby. Hope our painting makes the kids happy in their neighbourhood! Definitely not my best work on the wall, but probably the best experience painting so far :) (at Kebayoran Lama, Jakarta Selatan) https://www.instagram.com/freakyfir/p/CYHgqrhBux7/?utm_medium=tumblr

G.I. Joe Classified B.A.T Packaging Artwork Probably the coolest thing that I've ever worked on so far. Still cannot believe this is actually coming out. Maybe I'll buy one, or a few for keepsake! Can't wait to hold the box in my hands :) Artwork here is a little cropped for IG. Swipe for some sketches. (at Singapore) https://www.instagram.com/p/CWb0dblhzfm/?utm_medium=tumblr

G.I. Joe Classified B.A.T Packaging Sketches When I started the assignment, I knew I wanted to try and spend more time with the line work before attacking it with colours. Absolutely love it when projects don't feel like work, at all. And I'm grateful for the freedom the @hasbro team allowed me when approaching this character. More sketches soon :) (at Singapore) https://www.instagram.com/p/CV7wZ2Fh0Dw/?utm_medium=tumblr

G.I. Joe Classified B.A.T Packaging Illustration. Childhood dreams really do come true. I can finally check this off my bucket list. Had an absolute blast working with the team at @hasbro for this packaging artwork and was super excited to see it announced at the @hasbropulse event over the weekend. Swipe to see a snippet of the segment. Words can't really describe how amazing it felt to be working on a franchise that I grew up watching. And not forgetting, the nervous energy of not wanting to disappoint all the @gijoe fans with this interpretation of the B.A.T. I sure hope I did it justice :) Cannot wait to see these on the shelves soon. (at Singapore) https://www.instagram.com/p/CVlvryGBSz0/?utm_medium=tumblr

Kaneda's Bike for Sneaker Generation Art Exhibition in Paris. More photos of the shoe custom. Swipe for turnaround and video. Always fun to work on a different medium, though I'm always super slow with customs. This piece is still available for purchase on @galeriesakura 's website. It's only 1 side of a shoe, and is meant for display. Link in profile. (at Galerie Sakura) https://www.instagram.com/p/CVbONKGBOOe/?utm_medium=tumblr

Kaneda's Bike for Sneaker Generation Art Exhibition in Paris. A piece I did for an exhibition put together by @galeriesakura last month. Thank you for the invitation! Had quite a bit of fun working on this shoe and playing around with its form. Had to do a homage to Akira :) This piece is still available for purchase on their website.

Neo Avante Neon Special 2099. A racing car for the cyberpunk future! Haven't drawn a vehicle in ages, and it definitely gave me a workout. This one's a nod to my favourite childhood Tamiya 4WD car, the Super Avante. I am always blown away by the clean technical work of @damon_moran . Thanks for the inspiration, brother. Excuse the wonky perspective, I am rusty. Swipe for process video. (at Singapore) https://www.instagram.com/p/CS5LdSJB3Eu/?utm_medium=tumblr

King Shark Vinyl Figure Concept. Enjoyed watching the new Suicide Squad movie and was thoroughly entertained by Nanaue. A definite breakout character in my opinion! Would love to have a figure of him in these proportions, kinda like Street Sharks toys I used to have as a kid. Swipe for the Harley Quinn variant :D (at Singapore) https://www.instagram.com/p/CSsP-Vmpo4D/?utm_medium=tumblr

Zombie Tiger. I was inspired to start a new sketchbook and work on my inking once more after stumbling upon the fantastic work of @johnkillink . Decided it was best to start it off with something loose and organic, like this awesome tiger from Army of the Dead. Swipe for a timelapse of the process.
