Branding & Competition Illustration

When we were children, we often dreamed that the monsters in the cartoons became our good friends.

To bring those dreams to life, we would like to collect illustrations of monster friends and select and re-create several monster friends from submissions to become a part of our Kid Space around world. These monsters will accompany children through various usage scenarios, and will send friendly reminders that promote healthy habits and lifestyle choices.

Mister Potato “Akhir Tahun” Contest

Status : Participant

Level : National

Software Used : Ibis Paint & Adobe Photoshop

Concept :

On this occasion, we were challenged to express what we felt for the new year. I illustrate our wish, either it has been done or still stays on our bucket list, as an abstract character. It happened because we have different appearances, but we have the same desires.

The various colors are like a rainbow to give a cheerful Mexican impression in the middle of the New Year’s Eve sky. In addition, there is a touch of Mexican ornaments in some items at the picture.

Lenovo #Evolving WithYou Poster Competition

Concept : Make It Easy with Lenovo

There’s no need to worry about creating under the constraints of limited time, space, and media. Thanks to Lenovo laptops, work can be done flexibly. Creators can instantly bring their ideas to life with a wide selection

of applications and features when inspiration strikes. This ease of use enhances time efficiency, allowing creators to meet their commitments while continuously developing their skills and producing new works.

Easy to Carry

Lightweight and portable, it can be taken anywhere to find a different atmosphere, whether indoors or outdoors.

Easy to Create

Working on a laptop can adapt to any environmental conditions, allowing for more extensive and immersive work.

Easy to Hear

With the latest audio features, finding ideas, expressing yourself, and creating the desired atmosphere become easier.

Easy to Endure

With powerful endurance for creating masterpieces, you won’t have to worry about the battery running out quickly.

The sequence of illustrations employs the basic colors blue, yellow, orange, and purple to symbolize the times of day—morning, afternoon, evening, and night. Arranged in a cyclical pattern, this color scheme symbolizes that the laptop can be used continuously throughout the work.

Happy Hammy’s Product

This section highlights my personal projects, reflecting my artistic journey and passion for experimentation.

Personal Project

Fly Away, Kite

Yeay, it’s finally windy outside! Ma had waited to fly my first kite!

Oh? This kite? Ma made it myself at school on today’s art class!

Mrs. Stephen said we should make something to represent hope as today’s theme and Ma decided to make kite! Mrs. Stephen said it was a good idea because hope is high and free, it should be flown above everything.

Ma ran through the backyard and look! Ace is here! His tail is wagging! He must be very happy to fly the kite with me!

Soar, kite, soar! Bring my hope as you go!

In this painting, I aim to depict where Ma lives. Using orthographic projection, I illustrate the house and its surroundings. To achieve this, I created a concept for the house facade before starting the painting process.

Breakfast with Mama

Guess what!

Mom said she bought me the new cereal I saw on TV last time! Oh, boy, they’re so colorful and looks very yummy and, and, they said they are very crunchy! That must taste delicious with milk!

Oh, I’m so ready and excited to try the new cereal in front of me! I took a large spoon of the cereal and milk from my bowl, and-

Oh, it’s so yummy! I really like it! This will be Ma’s favorite forever!

I challenged myself to use more contrasting colors while ensuring the painting remains enjoyable for viewers. To achieve this balance, I softened the strong colors so they harmonize with one another. For the breakfast theme, I opted for a vibrant and bright color scheme to attract attention and radiate joyful energy to the audience.

Which Kind of Breakfast Would You Like to Have?

Going Home

The sky has turned orange and the sun starts to set, it is time for me to go home. Come on, let’s hurry, hurry, hurry! Mama said there are so many surprising things waiting at home. I am so excited!

But, look! There is a dog standing in front of Ma’s door!

Hello, dog! Why are you at Ma’s house? Are you lost? Do you live around here?

The dog only wags its tail. What does it mean?

Hmm..

I know! He wants to play with Ma at home!

Let’s go, doggy! Let’s surprise mom and have fun together inside!

In this painting, I use contrasting colors to highlight the subject while maintaining harmony throughout the composition. My intention is to depict the event that occurred in front of the door before the subject entered his house.
