Video - Obsidian Dawn - A Cinematic AI Generated Journey

Editing: Premiere Pro

License Music: ‪Mon Amour @Artlist

I’ve just completed my very first 3-minute AI-generated music video, and it’s been quite a journey! My main goal was to infuse it with my own aesthetic, fashion sense, and visual style, paired with the music I chose to bring my imagination to life. Through endless trials—tweaking the rhythm, perfecting the visual effects, and syncing the beats—I faced my share of challenges and frustrations. In the end, I’d rate myself a 70/100. It’s not perfect yet, but it’s a solid start, and I’m determined to make the next one even better!

"Through various painting techniques, I found that creating a perfectly detailed piece made it difficult to fully express the restlessness, struggle, and emotions buried within me. Sometimes, the image on paper diverges from the vision in my heart. Rather than chasing perfection, I learned to let go—releasing all attachment to technique and allowing the raw essence of my inner world to emerge. That is how 'Obscurae' was born.

My compositions are graphic and deliberate, with a strong emphasis on shape and texture. Drawing inspiration from early 20th-century Pictorialism and French Impressionism, I embrace the interplay of light and shadow, not to replicate reality, but to distort it—to reveal the emotional undercurrents beneath the surface. The brushstrokes are intentional yet unrestrained, the forms defined yet elusive, mirroring the tension between control and surrender.

Tokyo Nights: A Cinematic Journey Through My Lens

This is my first attempt at creating a cinematic journey, and I wanted to do something different. Instead of following the usual travel video formula, I focused on blending my personal aesthetic vision with the limited footage I captured. Set to the mesmerizing track Jozeque - Morning Caffe from Artlist, this video is a love letter to Tokyo’s nights—its neon glow, quiet moments, and endless energy.

Experimentation with AI character expressions

When we create art, we pour our emotions and feelings into it, giving it life and meaning. Now, as I explore the world of AI-generated art, I’m striving to do the same—to inject my emotions and energy into this new technology. While generating images and videos is easy, the real challenge lies in forging a deeper emotional connection with this medium. The key? Crafting the right prompt. It’s not just about telling the AI what to create; it’s about guiding it to feel what I feel, to see what I see, and to translate my inner world into something tangible. This journey is about bridging the gap between human emotion and machine creativity, and I’m excited to see where it takes me.

Raphael Saadiq and Miles Davis, both iconic musicians from distinct eras and genres, have left a lasting impact on music. I frequently envision a collaboration between them. In this artwork, I aim to blend various techniques to convey my passion for jazz and R&B, while also exploring diverse drawing methods to bring this illustration to life.

HK Tatler magazine - photoshop

I created illustrations for the wine column of HK Tatler for around two years. The biggest challenge was producing illustrations that looked like detailed watercolor paintings while working under very tight deadlines.
