久しぶりに絵を描いたぜ。フォトショだけど。

I appreciate the past. I look forward to the future. But most of all I love the present.

-Charcoal studies I did for myself, as well as a recent commission work for a client with a very creative and interesting outlook on classical art work. The sketches were done at Shimoda, Japan.

I've got a few things to resolve

Sculptural Bombardment : Kittens and Puppies

Humor me. Laugh a little. Ruts a rut?

Rabbitech - A Robotic Rabbit War Machine

So I did a pen and ink drawing of a bunny war machine (one of my first posts). I decided to render him via digital paint! This is what I came up with~

STAY!

I guess I thought about Max in 'Where the Wild Things Are'. Or Peter from 'Peter Pan'. You always wish you could stay in a place of mysticism and magic. It's only human nature to come up with surreal worlds. "Stay!", yells the giant face. "Gladly, in your mouth!" you respond. I hope that it makes sense to you.

Enter Digital Revolution

So I started digital painting since I graduated and became a Buddhist (May 2011). I just wanted to start drawing again. I'm hoping to continue honing my energies to self-actualization and figuring out the true powers behind planetary alignment. What sign are you? I'm a cancer.

Under the Ax : Stop Motion Short

A Senior Thesis that is still in the progression of completion. I'll keep working on it. Promise.
Auto has completely changed appearances - a last minute character design change that helped me personally, feel more empathetic with my main protagonist. I mean, what the fuck is the point if you don't succeed in making your audience feel that?

Mechanical Magnificence - The House of Machines

This set was so much fun to build. The concrete look is achieved with styrofoam painted over with grey acrylic. Dressed with cracks and little wires sticking out, I find it convincing enough. I also was allowed by my daddio to take apart a DVD player, the circuit boards are an intriguing detail, adds character. Little robot pieces, little overhead lamps, security cameras that spin like a top, chains crunching, a rotating ceiling fan, this house really comes to life in the master shot! Roughly 1,200 photos taken here.

Tree + Tree = Some Trees + Cheating it with a Camera = Forest

This is the forest where all the beautiful meetings happen. Roughly 2,000 photos take place here. The trees are sculpted out of sculpey, painted on top with acrylic. The rocks are made up of Chipotle napkins that I hot glued into rocky shapes. All the foliage dressing is from a model train store. Enter the forest!

Bring you up here. Axe Complex SET photos.

This is my main character Autos place. Scale wise... the photo of the astronaut on the back wall is about 1 in x 0.5 in. This is the first set I completed last year, just finished shooting everything on it! Total of 350 photos here.

Zbrush! The Foreign Frontier of Sculpting

The totem pole is a material study, wood/metal/stone!
The orc is an orc. I wish he were my uncle.

Filming the Cliff - Auto Gathers a Seashell!

Auto tries to grab a seashell!

This is only a test. Auto is no longer Auto.

Illustration Friday Trial! - Resolution

My resolution... is to PARTY! ... I'm kidding. I just wish I wore these party glasses when I brought in the New Year. ColErase -> funky photoshop

Eldridge. You snappy little tweaker.

OK OK. I SEE THE TIN FOIL. Temporary! Temporary! I'll see you in another life brutha. He will be resting on a mound of sand. I'm going back to Hawaii for this exact reason. To get some sand in my pants brah.

Headbutting turtle shells. Leaves you in tears.

I realized after looking at the blog / my portfolio... I haven't attempted a realistic sculpt. So my mind wandered through planet earth and behold, it collided with a turtle. He said draw me. So I did. He said give me a beautiful shell. I said nothing can be as beautiful as yours. He slapped me with his flipper. I've always wanted to feel turtle flippers. I chose 5 photo's stepping into the processes of creating Eldridge.
