This is Tina. I am an artist, an animator, a joker, and a laugher. I am not the best but I am not the worst either. And my goal is to be on top. These blogs are bringing you my greatest passion in life, which I hope you will enjoy. Nothing is as entertaining as images, both still and moving. So please, forget the real world and welcome to the world of imagination~

"When you really draw something, never fear to be BOLD, otherwise, it won't be that amazing~" Tina N.


P.S. Did I not tell you that I am also a writer? At some point it dawned on me that I do enjoy putting my imagination in texts, not just images. Oh joy!

GRADUATION 2012

Finally I did it! I graduated on the 22nd of May, 2012. I actually already drew my self portrait as a gift for myself on this special occasion and I put it on the side of this blog. But I have not posted the bigger version of it so you can see it better. After the little trip, my vacation with my family, my parents came all the way from Vietnam to visit me (Yoohoo!), I totally forgot about the portrait until now. Hopefully you like it!

Behold! The beauty of a new University Graduate from the Art, specifically Animation, Department!

Tada!

Black Rose Concept Updated

So remember my dear sweet sweet character that I have developed like forever? Alright, so I was never happy with it. Never ever! And I just keep updating the character's image. I'm even thinking of subtracting and adding to the character's characteristics to make her more interesting and mysterious in a way~~~ I wonder when I will come up with the very final design. I really hope it will happen soon since I do need to start the comic.

Here are the sketches:




The 1st one, I drew it a few weeks ago. The idea already sparked on me at that time so I immediately sketched it out. The 2nd and the 3rd one, I just drew them today, more like an update to the 1st one. I temporarily name this character Faceless Prince, who is actually also Black Rose. I'm even wondering about the character's gender lol. Geez~ Ah well, as soon as this comic starts, you'll see~

:)

Cosmo Girl

I drew this like forever ago. Well, okay, not quite, just a few months ago, but still I can't believe I totally forgot to put this up on my blog! Since this is one of my most favorite drawings that I have done lately! And the girl here is just so hot that I can't believe that I forgot about her. Ah well, at least I finally remember and have her introduced to you, my friends~ Hopefully, you enjoy cosmopolitan? If not, any other cocktail would be just fine. I am not picky. Cheers~! ;)



And the process/sketch:

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY 2012!!!

At first I planned to make a short animation for Father's Day just all by myself. But then so many things happened so I did not have enough time to do it, so I finally came up with this little drawing specially dedicated to my Dad, my one true hero, the idol of my life.

I love you, Dad.


My Dad is aging... though I can still feel a lot of Youth energy coming from him. His spirit has never aged one bit, and that makes me happy :).
I have grown up. But in my Dad's eyes, I am still his baby little girl. I guess, in my family, there is no such thing as getting old~

Here is the concept for my Father's Day animation idea:
