New pricing, perhaps? Lol, I let you judge. But it’s already February, maybe I can consider a price hike next year.

Ok, I have this 3D-like style for some of my artworks but last time I found it hard to always use the effect on all elements because I have to copy paste my color codes on notepad just to get it right. It didn’t keep the last step I did. Or was there any other way that I didn’t know of? But recently, I got myself upgraded to the latest version and wow, it keeps the last step and color just like I wanted it to be. Kudos to the developers! And yay to me! Haha, I am dumbfounded.

I was commissioned by Ziana to remake her blog as well as the header and those little tiny things you can find on a blog. The challenge is she wants it to look 3D like a famous animated series on the tv, you know, the purple dragon one. So, I thought of some of the 3D-like illustrations I did previously, like these:

Rise and Shine as publish under Routine post for Illustration Friday dated August 23, 2008. You go dig my archive, k. I’ve updated the illustration with a watermark.

My famous Raya Girl. *wink*

My Raya Boy.

And of course, I emphasize this all the time, these are not download items. Composition and illustrations are created from scratch by big ole me unlike what some people thought. Please, do not have the thought, I am just an ordinary human with humongous passion in learning. I work hard to better myself and I deserve all the credits. Sweat and tears were all there. All because I am only a self-taught illustrator. I didn’t have that chance to go to any college. I know I can work to get the higher learning but I used the money to help my mom, a single parent, to support my two little brothers. And to get us descent meals as well.

So,ok back to Ziana. Here’s the blog makeover I did for her.

Ziana’s blog

the header

She’s flabbergasted. And I am flattered. Such an honour to have customers tell me this all the time. The hard work felt almost easy.

Thank you all for trusting in me to create. And I shall create (not download) as long as I am breathing. Hmm that shall be my 2011 motto. I like the sound of it.

P/s I got a job to illustrate a book by our famous local writer, Nisah Haron. Yay to my children’s book illustrator career. Will update soon as I start illustrating.
