Standards

While I was working on the art for the RIFT mobile app ~

Alice: What's up?
Kevin: Just coming by to take a look at your progress.
Alice: This is going to take a while. =(
Kevin: Yeah and you gotta make it better than the last two projects because of your standards.
Alice: Damn my standards!

14//Winter

Featuring Toby

The weather is cold outside! It's getting chilly and winter is fast approaching. For those of you who know me, I love winter because of the holidays and the fashion. ^_^ I love layering up with coats, boots, accessorizing with scarves, etc. This is my coworker Toby's way of relating to this topic. True story, as always. I have yet to see him wear his sexy cashmere Burberry scarf however.

Owl Shirts!

After some problems with the shipment, I finally got the shirts I ordered. I custom ordered guy and girl versions for people who had requested these. The guy's version is a monotone brown as you can see. The girl shirts are more colorful. If there are more requests I will order more, or think about submitting it to threadless or shirt site for people to order directly off of. These cost almost $20 per shirt (and what I'm charging) to make in production because of the color and tshirt type, so I'm not making profit off of these. I'm just doing it for fun. =) I'm pretty happy with the way it came out. The girl shirts are super soft and comfy!

13//My Hero

Been working on freelance stuff lately, Rifting and playing Gears of War 3. As a result, I've neglected bunnybe =(
Also, I haven't been starring in my comics lately! We have to change this, with a special appearance from....

Featuring Danny Nou
This was inspired by a conversation he had with a friend. But clearly, he had no idea who this JB sensation was, and I don't blame him. I can care less, but this was a hilarious turn out. He thought it was some kind of new cartoon super hero of some sort. This is my spin on what Justice Beaver would look like. =P

Owl Be Back

I've had this idea for a while when someone at work was wearing a shirt with an owl on it. I think something else and myself were making fun of it or wondering what he was holding. Then I came up with this idea. I bet it's been done, but I thought it was super cute anyway. ^_^
T-Shirts anyone? =)

12//What, Indeed

Happy Birthday Derek and Mike!
This was based on a real conversation between these two. I thought it was pretty ridiculous and hilarious. Derek has no shame. Ever.

ALO Labels

Just got my shipment of the first ALO promo stickers. I ordered them from moo.com and I have to say they are of fine quality. The packaging is super clean as well. I'll probably order business cards from them sometime soon as well.

11//I AM AWESOME

Featuring: Ellery & Amanda
Inspired by Ellery's tumblr where he saves a collection of quotes. Most of them are from the office. Needless to say, we just had to fill out our performance evals and this is one of the more recent quotes.
Yeah, I'm on a roll huh? 3 comics in a month Alice? Damn girl.
Well, I'm sure you can tell the quality of the last two or so aren't as detailed. They were done over the span of a few hours within one night. Usually I take a lot longer.
Hope you enjoy~!

10//Choose One

Featuring: Shelby & Courtland
Shelby had saved this convo for me to turn into a comic because it's so cute.
I figured since it's Courtland's Birthday, here's one for you.. well except sorry, you can't see your face. =P
And yep, he really was playing RIFT.

09//Use Your Words

Featuring: Mike Deeks
I started playing Words again. And usually, I beat Mike.
This is basically how it goes down. =P

Introducing the new ALO

Aaaaand it's done! My portfolio has been redesigned, rebranded, and re-upped!

08//The New Green

Featuring: Anonymous white girl.
Backstory: She's someone who's just graduated from UC Berkeley and has developed quite the tree hugging habit since then. Chinese are cheap, Period. That's why we reuse a lot of our stuff, and are very resourceful. So in theory, we consume less. Today, that makes us environmentally responsible. I still call it being "cheap". However, it's way more acceptable and "cool", so no need to be embarrassed now! Because I can say I'm being "Green" instead.

Ahhh! I haven't been updating my blog lately because I've been so busy all the month of April and May. Been traveling and working on my portfolio. I Just came back from NYC, it was rainy most of the time there but pretty awesome. Going to Las Vegas next week for a bachelorette party.

I have all these ideas and material saved up for comic ideas. This has been an old story I have told many people, and it dawned on me that it would make a great comic. Hope it comes across well. =)
Again, all my comics are based on real life stories. And that goes for my wardrobe too. =P

Calvinn "likes" himself, way too much.

Note: All the "likes" are from Calvinn except for the last one where Mike liked himself to prove his point. =P

07//AN OLDIE BUT A GOODIE

Feat. Jason & Drew
I have the tendency to always make fun of Jason for being old and not Chinese enough. Like an Asian mom I nag and tease out of love. =P
I snuck in a few references here and there. Hope you get it! ^_^

06//FAT

Too busy Playing RIFT!!! However I have some skits I really wanted to make. Here's a quicky.



Ellery The Jones makes a comeback! This conversation actually happened over text. I could only imagine his expression after I asked that. All I know is that there was a long pause, a shock, and then he probably started laughing.
Also, notice the Rift Shirt? =) I hope you guys know what it says.

Drawing myself is getting harder especially since my hair color and length changes all the time. It's a bit boring to fix my look especially since it keeps changing. So, I like to draw myself reflecting how I currently look. Hard to keep up! =P

RIFT

I is the "tiny asian girl", bind on pick up. =P
Gamebreaker TV raided TRION WORLDS Redwood Shores studio.
Jazz was off the hook and super cute in person.
