Wireframes

Below you an see the wireframe layouts I made before beginning work on the corresponding websites. I'll upload some side-by-side comparisons when I get the chance. As you can see though, the initial designs may not always translate to the final product(especially when the client has changes). All part of the design process really.

Evolution of SChhen.com

So I'm cleaning out a bunch of files from my old hard drive(a good habit to get into) and I came across a lot of old work files of my website. Now I feel it is always good to go back to see how far you've come in your work. A good way to measure yourself as an artist and designer. Looking back now I notice a lot of things that I could have done better, and a few things that still stick with me to this day. So below is a comparison of my SChhen.com website throughout the years. Or better yet, the "Evolution of SChhen.com."

Concept-to-completion 2

Another addition to my concept-to-completion series. This one is a potential shirt design I made for Zong mobile payments. To the left you can see the initial design sketch, and to the right was the completed outcome. As you can see, the text in the number pad changed drastically. This was because I wasn't comfortable with the sizing during the production process.

Working on a new set of art to show my concept to completion. The Ryu and Spider-man comparison was a small taste. Below you can see the original sketch work I did for a corporate holiday card compared to the final product.

Shoryuken! New artwork

Street Fighter 4 is out today! And as anyone knows I am a HUGE Street Fighter fan. Now I've been working on an entrant into a "redesigned" Street Fighter art contest, but didn't like what I came up with(doesn't seem to meet the criteria in my book). So I've decided to share it all with you.

Below you will see the two colored versions I came up with for the contest. The idea is that Ryu is embracing the light of the martial arts(thus explains the Japanese kanji for "Light" on his back). For the first version I wanted to play with light warm colors, whereas the second was more of a "light in the darkness" idea. While I won't be using these pieces, they were a good excercise in coloring in photoshop.

Just for kicks I also included my reference for the pose in comparison to the fully inked drawing. That's right, my 12" 256 points of articulation Spider-man was my model. Hope you all enjoy and I'll post my final entrant as soon as I can.
