My inspiration came from the look in my friend’s eyes. I like the look in her eyes, extremely cold and aloof. When I drew this picture, I focused my attention on the look in his eyes. This picture was drawn right after I completed the painting of Silence, so the two pictures used the same tone.]]> Thu, 22 May 2008 05:36:53 +0000 http://ruanjiajia.cgsociety.org/gallery/633545

The prince came to a city which used to be extremely popular. He hoped he could find the witch who lived in the labyrinth beneath a castle. The witch has a cursed mirror which can reflect what the person who is looking into the mirror is thinking of. The prince believed that, with the mirror, he could find the magical weapon.

For the first time, I finished the sketch first and then painted it. The sketch part was done smoothly. But the painting part really twisted me. I almost gave up half way.]]> Tue, 20 May 2008 09:46:29 +0000 http://ruanjiajia.cgsociety.org/gallery/633175

I started to draw this picture inspired by a song in a game titled Castlevania. I like this song and the game which give me a dreamlike feel. It takes me about half a year to complete this picture. I try to portray the man in the picture as a protagonist in a story, who was taking adventures in another world, just like in an RPG game.

The story started with a prince who knows magic. Not sure how many years have passed since he left his homeland. He traveled alone trying to find a magical weapon described in an ancient legend. He believed this magical weapon could help resolve the crisis his kingdom is facing.]]> Mon, 19 May 2008 10:52:51 +0000 http://ruanjiajia.cgsociety.org/gallery/435698

One scene that can only be seen in the dreams. The characters on the march are dead knights. They are under the command of the powerful undead legion. The Lich King, Karazhan, the former emperor of Mykland Kingdom, the mighty conqueror, the flames of revenge and bitter hatred are burning his twisted souls.
The character in the middle of the picture is the Lich King’s mightiest Death Knight and also the legion commander. His army turned everything within their path to rot and decompose. His death coil drains the life-force from any who come in contact with it. He has no desires of the human beings. He is purely a tool of killing and conquering. Countless legions have been destroyed by him. His rapidly expanded forces are threatening the peace of the Red Land.
That city where our paladin has once traveled is one of the victims of their dark plan. The mentioned Karazhan is the lich I’ve designed before. The friends who have paid attention to my other works must have remembered this character.]]> Thu, 30 Nov 2006 10:52:20 +0000 http://ruanjiajia.cgsociety.org/gallery/423570

Massacre all the residents of a conquered city: Arthas, the young prince of Lordaeron, has taken extreme measures to destroy the plague-ridden undead before the terrible plague of undeath could encroach on the city. He led his army to break through the gate of Stratholme. The terrible shout of death, burning flames and piles of corpses. This is an episode from Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos.
This episode has given me the inspiration of creation. A fully armed paladin came to a chaos city alone.
He is coming for saving his relatives from chaos or getting something desired? The reason is unknown. We can only make sure that he is not one of the people who have made the chaos. This paladin will continue to show in my later works
It took me more than a month to finish this Burning Flames of War. I tried to make the flames appear to burn out from the computer display. Let these pitiless flames swallow everybody’s life. Everywhere corpses, desires and revenges. A once prosperous city was turned into a hell in one night. I hope this character created by me can complete his missions and survive.]]> Tue, 31 Oct 2006 03:16:28 +0000 http://ruanjiajia.cgsociety.org/gallery/421293

A character designed for the game, the Lord of the Undead. I am used to portraying the Undead with green color. Perhaps it has something to do with the movies I’ve seen. I took me a long time to design the transparent breastbone. The amount of the bones coincides with the amount shown on the anatomy book. I hope you will love it.]]> Wed, 25 Oct 2006 04:53:47 +0000 http://ruanjiajia.cgsociety.org/gallery/420498

I designed this artwork while I was playing WOW. I still remember the terrific feeling of fighting in the battlefield. This is an undead soldier charging in the forefront of the battlefield. As he has already died for once, he has no fear in his heart. The strong desire of revenge makes him destroy every life trying to stop him. Only the revenge can make his soul feel at ease]]> Mon, 23 Oct 2006 04:39:59 +0000 http://ruanjiajia.cgsociety.org/gallery/417872

His eyes can freeze the air. He shows no qualities of humanity. Years’ work makes him become an ultimate killing

machine. It seems that he is paying close attention to his next deal.
I finished his face with over a thousand strokes, yeah, his face. I spent a lot of time in portraying his

expression. I hope his face structure and wrinkles can demonstrate he is a calm and cruel person surviving in the

hardship of life. I selected orange red as dominant hue, making him couldn’t wait to show his purpose of killing. I

tried to create a dark and depressing atmosphere in the building behind him.
I designed this work after I have seen a gunfight movie. For the whole sense, I used the cover of Two For The Money

for reference. I feel Al Pacino is more like a killer than a businessman.]]> Mon, 16 Oct 2006 10:54:15 +0000 http://ruanjiajia.cgsociety.org/gallery/417498

Dried land and desert plain. A paladin is looking for a forgotten ancient city in mist. It is said that nobody has returned from this barren land. There are no rocky mountains where the creatures can inhabit. What adventure is waiting for him? Can he find what he is looking for?
The most challenging point of designing this CG is the thick mist covering the whole scene. I brushed it again and again with very low-transparency strokes. Just like you see, I’ve modified and pasted the rocks with some scenic pixels.
This paladin has just started his journey. I hope you will pay a close attention to his later journey.]]> Sun, 15 Oct 2006 03:45:31 +0000
