Happy Birthday Dr Abdul Kalam ...

/hihi
 
Here is an amateur artist wishing Dr. Abdul Kalam, on his birthday :) Although I am not confident enough to try portraits, but somehow tried this today using color pencils. Please don't laugh by looking at the image below (I really don't want to use the word 'portrait' as I am not good at it)

Endless Love

/hihi

Hello ...
   Finally I have finished an oil painting ... which I started in the month of February. When I posted an earlier version of this, I was asked what exactly it conveys ? Now, I just hope things are clear.

  
   I was desperate to complete this, as I was not able to spend enough time. I don't think I have given my 100%, lost interest due to long gap of 3-4 months.

The Duel

/hihi

Hello ...
   I am back with a short film by Aromwana Studios. The project is titled The Duel, depicting Kalaripayattu, an Indian martial art from the state of Kerala.
  
   As evident from the video. one of them is muscularly built and the other warrior is slim, skillful with accurate strikes.
  

  

   This is the first short film I've worked on, and am so happy with our work. We at Arowana Studios, worked really hard for this project, hope you find it interesting :)

Handmade Greeting Card

/hihi
  Hi friends, I am back to blog after a long time. Hope all of you are doing great, I was really busy with my professional life, its hard to find time for my interests.
 
  I should thank the animation industry as I am getting the opportunity to meet some of the highly talented creative people. But I had mixed feelings at office in last few weeks as couple of my colleagues resigned to explore new challenges. First of all, it was the creative head of our company, a highly talented individual from whom I have learnt a lot. Although I feel myself lucky to have worked with him for more than 6 months, but its not easy to accept that he is not in our organization now.
 
  Also my good friend at work, a pure-hearted girl, moved out of Bangalore for some personal reasons.I really appreciate the way she handled the things in her life and impressed by some of her philosophies of  life. Although I can stay in touch with her through social networking sites and telephone, but I really miss her at office. Here I am uploading a greeting card made out of handmade papers, which I prepared for her in a hurry. While writing the text over the card, I thought I would have learned calligraphy ... my wish list is growing day by day :)

 
  

  

During my school days, I used to prepare a lot of greeting cards at home to wish my relatives and friends during New Year and Makara Sankranti. Unfortunately I don't have the photographs of them to share here. Now we are moving towards e-wishes and text messages, so most of us stopped sending the 'hard copy' of greeting cards !!

I've tried one more, please have a look. The photos are taken before writing the message, bit personal you know .. :)

Here is my first painting of  the year 2012 !! Yes, I did this today and took just 5 hours to finish this work using acrylic color. Of course, its visible from this work :)

 I was in such a good mood this morning that I wanted to paint. Since I had not planned this, used only the few colors I had. I applied texture white on an old painting of 1ft * 2 ft (although its an odd size for this work), as I had no other canvas at home. Now its time for your comments :) ...

Have a gr8 day and a wonderful New Year 2012. /bye
