Babydoll from Suckerpunch. Intuos4 on Photoshop CS3.
I Used footage from the movie for background color and reference.
Animation
This is some of my animations. Just like life, learning never stops. Keep animating, keep training, keep trying. I'm far away from perfect, any comments and/or critiques would be very welcomed.
3D Modeling
When I was moving on from 2D Artist onto 3D, modeling was my first stepping stone. Go check it out.
2D Artwork
Before the Hilma-as-animator time has come, I was more as a 2D artist. I love sketching, digital painting, and making comics. Although I don't do all of that much lately, I still sketch and paint in my spare time.
Photography
It's a good training and application of cinematography. Plus I make alot of friends by it. I didn't have wide knowlededge of any photography techniques. I just use basic theory + my cinematography senses and skill. So I'm quite happy when alot of people love my works.

The Chronicles of Java
Coola things! I just find this movie uploaded by my art director that means this is shareable now.
This is an animation project I've been doing. It's not perfect yet. But enough for a teaser. And still the best visual of domestic animation I've ever seen for now. Glad I could be involved.
CoJ is an ambitious full feature movie project. I am involved as a lead animator. Here I'll be using motion capture animation pipeline, quite an experience, huh?

Do you feel like you're cut for it? You think you're a good enough and in need of great experience doing project with many professional people? You don't want to sit on the seat of people looking for an animation movie who did by other people of their own country and just say "Holy-F*** that movie is awesome wish I could be the one made it!"? Then prolly you're the right guy I need since when production starts I'm gonna need team soon and start recruiting talented people.

Character Animation Turning Back Tutorial
This is for colleague who asked me how to make character turning back in the fastest and simplest way. I did it in 11 minute, hope that's fast enough. For your watching and learning convenience, I speed up the video into 200% of the real duration.
The concept are first, make the key poses. Don't do the steps yet, just make her facing each potition she needs to make the movement.
Now, to make a steps, it sounds complex and you would get dizzy in no time if you make it one by one. Because actually, those steps goes only to the facing position. It doesn't look like stepping because it move the same time with body. To turn it into steps, you just need to adjust the timing. Any adjusting on the basic pose would usually be needed but it would be easier to do it later.
So, make her steps only by moving, copying [and eliminating if needed] the keyframes on the time bar. Here you can start to adjust the foot position for her convenience, make her turns back smoothly, and less like a drunken person with those ugly feet movements.
After feet look nice, go for the hip. Basically just make the pelvis move to counters the weight of her body when stepping. One basic concept: Hip goes to create weight that pulls the foot of the ground, so it moves first. And because foot is lighter, it lands faster than pelvis - which now moves later, creating the save landing for body [and pelvis] and prevents them from falling on the ground.
Now the stepping is done and look nice, you can start to put some delay and secondary motion on body, head and arms. Which one will start turning? Head or shoulder? That's of course depends on the case. (arm will move last, except she wants to punch or hit something).

Very-Much-Wanted compositing
I found it among trashes of my old abandoned blog. Guess I'm gonna sharing it here with you, guys.
This is the character model. It's still look too clean for the scene. Since it's for still image, I plan to make it dirtier on the compositing. This way is easier and often gives more expectable result.
Rendering:
As you can see it's still look empty and dull. There is only one ambient light, that's why i tried to put another element like wanted poster and a blue light from the opposite direction. I'm quite satisfied with that. I'll try to make it richer in photoshop.
Don't forget for zdepth render. It's very usefull for very light and machine friendly depth of field making:
Time for compositing:
At first, the explosion look like that. But after a lot of input it looks not real enough, make sense. So I tried to put more dirt and change the blast type of explosion into a real explosion. I also make the clothes dirtier and add some blood sprays on her body for more dramatic atmosphere.
Final adjusting to make the colors richer, and DONE :

Working in Malaysia.
On February 2011 I'd been on one month contract project in Malaysia. The office located in Syah Alam, Half and hour driving from Kuala Lumpur. I was working on a project for Digilogic - Tulus Fikir malaysian company. Never ask for my job preview on the project, that's again the rule. Lol.
Though the schedule is pretty tight. But it's still fun and full of experience. The people especially the boss and seniors is surprisingly fun, giving good atmosphere to the whole workplace. The most drawback is the adaptation with the food, weather, and work system. I got sick and so is my friend. But fortunately the project still could be completed in that one month so that's not really a problem.
For now I'm on one ambitious project in Indonesia. I even got proposed to be a teacher in the university I'm working to. But I guess it's not the right time for me to get settled, maybe another time. For now I want to wander around gathering experience -and money, haha- from around the world -hopefully. If everything's running fine, me, my friend, and probably with some other friends, would come back to Malaysia soon. Wish us luck.
