For this month’s issue of Total Girl Philippines, here’s another illustration for the “Totally Embarrassing” section. I made this months before the new layout came out so it had to be adjusted to fit in the layout. I really like the original color I used for the background, but I think the edited color (they chose) works fine here.
Total Girl, Halloween Issue
Here are two terrified-with-eyes-open-wide character illustrations (make it three, including the peeping girl from the Totally Embarrassing story!) for the October 2013 Halloween issue of Total Girl Philippines!
Though cockroaches are damn too creepy and really gross to examine (for drawing purposes), I enjoyed working on this scene.
Total Girl Philippines, September 2013
Total Girl Philippines is celebrating their 9th anniversary this month. This means a new look for the magazine. I’m still doing the illustrations for the “Totally Embarrassing” section and they alloted a bigger space for this (yay!). It now covers a little over half of the page.
Also, for the new layout of “Totally Embarrassing”, I made icons of different embarrassed or laughing faces for the “Blush o’ Meter” and for the “Blush of the Month” badge as well.
Another illustration I worked on is for the article of the “TG Life Guide” section. This is an Alice-in-Wonderland-inspired scene, showing Alice who grew so much bigger than the other characters.
Two Years of Total Girl
Oh yes, it’s been two years since my first illustration for Total Girl has been published. 2 years! Time certainly flies too fast. I’m more than thankful for the awesome people from Total Girl for allowing me to be a part of the magazine. This experience helped me grow a lot as an illustrator. To celebrate this, here are my two illustrations for the August issue of Total Girl Philippines.
I’d feel great if even one of you would be able to figure out who this local celebrity is from my “Totally Embarrassing” illustration! (ha!)
