Gnomon December 2006
Here is my entry for the Gnomon Workshop December 2006 image competition. Took me quite a while to understand lighting, composition, texture, shadows, etc. Got to thank Nicolas for the help he rendered to me on Friday. I told him that I wanted to hit the computer with my head and he very calmly reminded me that I need my head... Ha ha ha... well it's been quite a journey of self-discovery through painting in Adobe Photoshop.

looks quite interesting. should I guess what the pic is about - or will you explain it?
Hello! The winter treehouse is on the right side. It is a geometrized form that is abstracted from a typical tree's silhouette. It has a mechanistic look to it so as to contrast with the softer "impressionist" landscapes. There are some strange green lights in the clouds suggesting that some aircraft is hovering in. The wintery dusk as portrayed by the colors of the cumulonimbus clouds. The (3) characters watch the one gliding across to another snowy mountain. Is it an escape prisoner? Is it there leader? I wanted to leave that vague. Hope you enjoyed this!
I mean left side sorry...
Hey you gluppers!!! Jawn, nice image!!! Man, I should really pick up a tablet and not just indulge in photography, which I can't do very well in anyways. ;P
It's really encouraging to see you're passionate about all things creative, and that you're excelling in them - keep it up, and may God continue to keep you and Crystal (and Jawn Jr, perhaps??) over the new year!!
Thanks for allowing me to pull a "Me, You and Dupree" over the course of a week - appreciate it.
dupree??? Wah seh... you never do anything close to as naughty as what Dupree did lah...
Dun leave out the Crystal Jr. we never know what God has in store for us. How did you find my blog?
haha you showed it to me before remember? I think it was in a re:act email somewhere too.
I had problems spelling 'gluppers' though, my first attempt was 'glubbers' which yielded me nothing :P
take care bro. hi to crystal too! and the rockets are 4-1 without yao!
I lost (again)... this time... to alot of people. I feel sad but I guess I would keep trying. Check out the amazing winners.

Hey Jawn... I guess it isn't so much about winning, as it is about actually getting down and dirty with your art materials (Ok, I know a Wacom tablet doesn't actually make your hands dirty, but I'm speaking figuratively. ;))
It's a nice piece anyway, and what's most important is that you've put your new toy to good use and have had fun with it.
Keep on at it! Heheh.
Thanks Hann... We are going to be taking some drawing classes online for the next 6 weeks. Hope to improve. It is fun painting as it shows how fearfully and wonderfully we and the environment have been made. As architects-to-be we get the privilege of participating in this enjoyment of design.
