Awwwwwwww So Cute!!! Baby panther in Cartier Advertisement

Ok, before anyone go WTF on me, hear me out...

I came across an ad by Cartier in my local papers a few days ago, and I'm totally bowled over by how cute the baby panther is!

Believe me, it's not easy to get the correct pose of an animal (I've worked before in a Photo Studio Agency before, and the photography session on an animal is arduous and the digital imaging required to make the advertisement look right is no walk in the park either)

Lots of patience required!!!

Check out their web on this ad campaign and enjoy the wallpapers! For a change, no babes, but a cute baby panther!

Part 3 of the Super Triple Shot Weekend with Hwang Mi Hee (황미희)! (Donors/Supporters/Friends Exclusive!)

Theme for this digital artwork is "Sliding Hands to Heaven".

A4 Poster Print


What inspired this theme? I was having a light-hearted conversation with Mavy about the perverted danger of sliding one's hands up those gorgeous legs of Hwang Mi Hee... when the idea just popped out!

It's a must to make a digital painting on her in a school-girl outfit (She is the BEST in that outfit hands down!) And sliding those hands up those lovely legs seems the most inviting in this painting! ;)

Jennifer's Body: Starring Megan Fox!

Opening tomorrow in the States, this movie is one to look out for.

The sole reason? Smoking foxy Megan Fox is starring in it.

I'm definitely going to watch it after going through the trailer.

Megan Fox just looks absolutely stunning, and that *esbian kissing scene looks so radioactive HOT!

Anyway, I'm inspired to make a wallpaper out of it.

A simple digital imaging work "before-&-after", turns her official movie poster into a wallie and it's available to print out as a Large Poster Print! (approximately 65 x 40cm at 150dpi)

Not going to tell you what changes I made to the original poster, though the changes are minor ;)

Enjoy her latest movie trailer below, and go watch it!

Old Wallie Set: Yu Yamada (山田優) and Rosa Kota (加藤ローサ)!

More wallpapers, this time we are going Japanese flavour!

Yu Yamada (山田優) and Rosa Kota (加藤ローサ) graces this post's wallies.

Two forgotten wallpapers from the old IdolRetouch days; that I resurrected with a little bit of enhancements.

Resolutions available for Yamada's set: (Lovely Black and White Version too!)

• 1920 x 1200
• 1600 x 1200
• 1280 x 1024

In case you are wondering what song's mushy lyrics are from this time, yes, it's from the Singapore's local band Tokyo Square's love ballad: Within You'll Remain.

Awesome combo of lovely zither and western style flavour bring this song smoking to the Top of the Pops, back in the 80s.

Incredible song!


Resolutions available for Kato's set:

• 1280 x 1024
• 1280 x 960
  

I also made a skin for 8.4x5.5" Netbooks, for Yu Yamada only. File is saved as a uncompressed TIF file.

Enjoy all!!!

Classic Rock: Seo You Jin (서유진)

Another wallpaper made for Seo You Jin (서유진), which I finished a few days ago, announcing this via my twitter feed.

Resolutions available:

Just in case anyone is wondering what song the lyrics is from, this song is from Singapore's own short-lived rock band "The Black Sun", titled "Love You Now".

I remembered listening to this awesome rock ballad on the radio back in the early 90s, 1991 in fact, when schooling. This song hit the No.1 position on a very popular local station then, and smoked the MTV Asia top 20 charts.




I also made a skin for 8.4x5.5" Netbooks. File is saved a a uncompressed TIF file.

Digital Imaging: Hwang Mi Hee (황미희) Wallpaper

I've always been fascinated by how Lotus Leaves repel water droplets, making way for a fascinating study for me as a school kid.

Anyway, this shot, taken by my rather 'ancient' Sony point-and-shoot camera, a 4.1 Megapixel DSC-S60, at a F-stop of 3.5, with a ISO setting of 160, gives me a rather decent shot of a Lotus leaf with lots of lovely water droplets on it... This paves way for a digital imaging work on the shot, to turn it into...



a rather moody, but lovely Black & White (with a hint of color tinting) wallpaper for Hwang Mi Hee (황미희).

Unfortunately, the quality of the photo shows up with lots of noise like artifacts, after pushing the photo to the limit with color manipulation and so on.

Nevertheless enjoy this simple wallie on Hwang Mi Hee (황미희)!



*Edit: I edited this post due to the final image download is not correct. The actual resolution is supposed to be 2560 x 1600. Apologies.

Sizzling Seo You Jin (서유진) Wallpaper and Skin Set (Version 2)!

A big thanks to visitor Danny for contacting me, and commenting on my previous wallie work on Seo You Jin (서유진).

The picture I used for SYJ doesn't do justice to the wallie, so I decided to do a version 2 for that 'highly energetic' theme.

Thank goodness for layers in Photoshop; a minimal work is needed to get a new Seo You Jin wallie smoking again!

It seems that grungy, messy themes that I like, is a turn-off for most visitors. :(

Hopefully the new picture that I chose will change some tastes along the way. ;)

Resolutions available for this version 2 wallpaper set:

• 2560 x 1600
• 2560 x 1440
• 1600 x 1200

I also made it into a skin for 13.3" & 14.1" PC laptops; and 13" MacBooks.

Thanks again Danny. I love feedbacks.

Seo You Jin (서유진): Winner of the Scooter Race Queen Poll

I wonder how many folks still remember this poll that I posted about a month ago.
Seo You Jin (서유진) is the clear winner here, smoking the competition, with Lee Ji Woo coming in a distant second, followed closely by Kim Ha Yul.


I decided to post a set of wallies to celebrate her win in this poll. Resolutions included are:

• 1680 x 1050
• 1600 x 900
• 1280 x 1024
• 1280 x 960

Please note that I'm no motorcycle enthusiast or expert. I just tried to depict the bike (BMW K1200R) as accurately as possible.



It's a no brainer why she is the perfect biker chick here:

• Smoking hot legs.
• Shorts that show off her ass perfectly.
• A translucent top that is loosely unbuttoned that show off just the right amount without being offensive.
• Well, just say her whole package is just smoking beyond words!

In addition: All 6 biker queens contestants' albums in the original resolution for download, together with this set of wallies.

More to come for Seo You Jin (서유진)! Stay-tuned.

Brain cramps: Seo You Jin (서유진)

Ok, the title is a joke. I'm actually trying to do another more feminine wallpaper set on Seo You Jin (서유진).

Unfortunately, I seem to run out of ideas (brain cramps!) for the moment regarding to the photo that I used, courtesy of "Icarus". Lovely photo it is, but unfortunately suffering from a nasty color cast.

I ended with a "Wallpaper (2560 x 1600 resolution)", that I don't honestly like. Theme is set in the forest, with a magical mood to it. Well, better than nothing, so I just posted the pictures, in case anyone wants it. :P


Before: Photo courtesy from Icarus.


After: Seo You Jin looking so fine after retouching!


Brain cramps: I tried to do a subtle soft-pastel like wallie, but gave up after 2 hours of meddling.
The unfinished artwork.


Seo You Jin in the magical forest: The finished wallie on her. 2560 x 1600 resolution. Our girl sure is magical, but the wallie unfortunately don't do justice to her beauty. Nevertheless, taking a break from doing wallpapers! Back to the large poster prints!
