Message to Mr.Bad

Dear Sir,

I, Cheng Khai Wen, ID 1081101572, like to request for a delay for passing up my Assignment 1, 2 and the Final Project. I know that I already pass the deadline for both Assignment 1 and 2 for a very long time and also i havent update my work in progress in my blog, http://fusionmediaarts.blogspot.com/ . But, Sir, I humbly requested because I have a rough time this semester. I have a lot of family matters and even financial matters to handle, my family facing some crisis in life. I was at the urge to stop my studies at one point but i didnt. I hope Sir will give me one last chance to allow me pass this subject. I wish to pass up everything (Assignment 1, 2 and Final Project) after CNY. Sir, I once again humbly request for this one last chance, I really wish to pass this subject.

Thank You Very Much.

Your Student,
Cheng Khai Wen

Final Project ^^

Title: Faces of the Saver and Devil

Artist statement: I use back the picture I use in my video and combine them into one picture. Hakurei Reimu and Kirisame Marisa is always the main characters in Touhou Project and I still use the insane looking Remilia and Flandre to show the vampire feel. Hakurei Reimu I just show the eyes is because she have a sharp vision and Kirisame Marisa's smile due to she is a happy-go-lucky yet likes to take on tough challenge character.

Artwork treatment: I use purely Adobe Illustrator to create the artwork. Basically, all I use to draw this is pen tools and some reference picture I can get from google. I actually wanted to make a face out of all the picture I use in the video but then I found out, some pictures doesn't fit to each other. So I decided to put in the main hero and villain to finish up this poster.

Title: Scarlet Devil Sisters

Artist statement: The above one is Remilia Scarlet, which is the older sisters of the two and the below one is the younger sister, Flandre Scarlet. Both of them have the insanely crazy look on them, is because I wanted to show the scariness of the vampire. I use Red color a lot since red is always use to represent vampires due to their liking towards blood.

Artwork treatment: I use purely Adobe Illustrator to create the artwork. And a very very special thank you to one of my friend, Jonathan Dei Goon who willing to allow me to learn his style of drawing as a reference for drawing this poster. Basically, all I use to draw this is pen tools and some reference picture I can get from google.

Reference Video of the project

After done choosing my video or background sound, I wanted to start on my storyboard, so i went to youtube again to search for some stop-motion video on this series, Touhou Project.

I can't actually found and nice stop-motion video that is the same as the Project Brief. But there are almost the same type of video in youtube. Most of them are the storyboard that is combine together before becoming a real fully animated video.

I think show the video is better then just tell, so here are some example that I use as reference.

After a week of choosing soundtrack or voice or videos in youtube and my computer, finally come to a stop.

I decided to choose "the Dream of Scarlet" from a doujin group or fan-fiction group of the Touhou Fans, dBu. The original title is 赤より紅い夢 from the 6th game of Touhou, 東方紅魔郷 ～ Embodiment of Scarlet Devil that is produced by only one person, Jun'ya Ota also known as ZUN.

Since i choose this song as my background music, so i decided to make a video about the game. the video is serve like a advertisement for the game itself.

My video will be fully Stop-motion type and i still thinking either do it in hand-drawn or digital. I will be working on the storyboard soon and will upload every single story board that i draw up very soon.

Here's the video of the music i am using:
dBu- the Dream of Scarlet

Sample of OST or Sound Track for the Final Project

Hi there, since assignment one,two and three is finish up....now we are going into the final stage for this major subject, The Final Project. I not so sure about how the project will be because lecturer himself say he will change the brief. Anyway, i decide to use this two songs for this project. If the title is free for us to choose, I wanted to make a video about a revive of a team. =) Hope this two songs are pass, but i will be only using one song to make this project. ^^ Till the next update, I now need to rest my mind just like what the lecturer ask us to do so. ^^

Final Assignment three

Everything that started has to be ended. So, here I am the final artwork of my assignment three. Credits must be given to Secret Recipe for the cakes and Charlene Ng Andrew of helping me at my Dragon drawing for the 2nd artwork.

There is a small changes in my initial design. At 1st, I was planning to use purely hand-drawn, but turns out the drawing doesn't come out nicely from what i expect. So, i change it into digital. At the same time, I found out that Penang people likes to use simple drawing to represent themselves or express their feeling. So, i change my total design into a very simple-ish artwork.

The basic idea is I combine both digital and sketch into a artwork. So, is very digital-ish and some are very sketch-ish.

Well, I think the picture is better to explain everything right ?? here we go. My final artwork ^^

Title: Unpredictable Jam

Artist statement: I use the shock express to show the unpredictable feeling. The dragon i use black since is at night, Black represent night the best. I use yellow to represent bread. I draw my artwork very comic-ish is because now-a-days teenagers or even adults likes to read comics.

Artwork treatment: I use both Adobe Illustrator and Adobe Photoshop to create the artwork. I use brush tools to create the sketch-ish dragon to show the shadow of the dark and is actually the lights of the cars.

Title: Food tower

Artist statement: I still use back the shock expression for this. Since my survey say food and Komtar can represent Penang. So, I changed Komtar in a Swissroll and the cars are the cakes. The dragon remains as representing the night The Fairies are representing the thinking of people who went to Penang just for the food.

Artwork treatment: I use both Adobe Illustrator and Adobe Photoshop to create the artwork. And a very special thanks to Charlene Ng Andrew who helped me to "filter" or make a much nicer Dragon. The white part actually represent the part that is eaten up by the fairies which can also means that the people who went to Penang is always hunger for more food.
