Hello, I'm Siew Hong Liang from Malaysia, a final year student at The One Academy. 

Sea Cruffle

In "Sea Cruffle," you'll encounter an amazing combo of furious monster fights and open-world exploration within the captivating fishing setting. Play exciting gameplay where traditional fishing mechanics are enhanced by fighting sea animals and your quest is made more interesting by finding prizes. Sell fish and uncommon findings to build your empire and establish yourself as the ultimate nautical legend. This is a masterful economic approach.

This project serves as my first intellectual property (IP) that represents me, and I'm quite satisfied with the result.

Horizon

"Horizon" is a project I worked on during my second year that was my first attempt at stylized drawing. It shows a fisherman and his charming sidekick living on a picturesque island, but to be honest, it falls short of my expectations. However, it serves as proof of my development and creative exploration. 

The Zoooo

The Scribble Series, which draws influence from my surroundings, is the name given to this series. My favourite animal, the sun bear, is my choice for illustrating myself since I have a stronger bond with animals than I do with people. Sketching is something I really like to do, especially with friends around. It makes for a lot of funny scenarios.

Bears are often associated with running or playing dead to avoid danger, but there's another side to them that's incredibly cute and charming. Witnessing how bears fearlessly hunt honey inspires me greatly; their bravery serves as a constant reminder during my college journey to keep moving forward and never give up.

NOCSHIRE

During my final year, I committed myself fully to the group project "NOCSHIRE", I can say I'm ALL IN. My teammates were crucial in pushing me to complete those finishings and refine each detail. This project is without a doubt one of my favourite assignments I've done in college, and I have a lot of enthusiasm for it because of all the work and love i put into it.

here are the synopsis of this project 

In a world where colour is illegal, Ebon, a young con artist who's against the Monarchy enjoys painting murals with illegally smuggled paint. It is known to everyone how dangerous it is beyond the walls, as LadyMonochrome, the ruler, deceives her citizens of how aggressive and ferocious the colourful monsters are, creating a propaganda against colour. Ebon would one day find himself a colour creature, Ace, whom he would make money off through the ways of a con artist. As things progress, a bond is established between Ebon and Ace, and he discovers the wondrous powers it possesses. He contemplates and intends to set Ace free after sneaking a peek of the peaceful world beyond the walls. But his goal changes when Ace runs away due to hearing a cry for help. They discover a whole dungeon of abused creatures in the basement of the palace. Enraged, Ebon helps set free the creatures and infiltrates the palace to find Lady Monochrome. When compromising fails, Ebon and Ace works together to fight the Lady's soldiers, the sacred chessboard is destroyed in a crossfire. The wall crumbles in tandem, revealing the outside world to t h ecitizens.

Ebon and Ace celebrate a successful day on the rooftops, with a bunch of food laying around like a picnic. This scene shows cascading layers of the city's superblocks, with their roof-tops illuminated by the sunset's warm glow

Ace doesn't resemble the final version because this piece was created during the sketch stage of Ace's development.

Matte Painting

The Nature Crown 01 (Volcano)

As Crown Volcano erupted, its fiery streams painted the entire sky in a vivid shade of red, casting an otherworldly glow across the land. The once serene realm now stood beneath the fiery canopy, a breathtaking spectacle marking the explosive rebirth of the ancient giant.

The Nature Crown 02 (Undersea)

In the silent depths of the ocean, a once majestic palace lay abandoned, its lifeless walls adorned with an ethereal glow emanating from a stone crown at its heart. The crown, now surrounded by parasitic plants, served as a haunting reminder of the palace's former glory. The tendrils of the parasitic flora, though thriving, clung to the lifeless structure, creating an eerie juxtaposition of vibrant life against the backdrop of decay. This undersea relic whispered tales of a bygone era, where the palace, now devoid of its past grandeur, became a haunting canvas for the relentless beauty of nature's reclamation.
