Back in it!
None of this would have been possible without the beautifully inspiring work of Vinod Rams.
The way he draws lines, the angles, the edges, the flow, the grit, the grim, the tendons, the fur, the style. I first came across his uniqueness from the Character Design Blog, now known as the CreatureSpot.com (a MUST see)
I always look to Vinod's work to see something different, mutated, and amazing.
I love it
=D

Kumadori Make-Up
I've always wanted to play with the designs of Kabuki theater, now i finally did it. I don't know if i should take this one further in Photoshop or just to keep drawing more variations. I should do both... well either way I'll post it up for your viewing pleasure.
Have a nice Easter weekend.

Green Screen Shoot
Sorry haven't posted in a while
Here I am ready to be shot for some personal green screen stock footage in HD1080i. It was a lot of fun, I just got to get to work on treating the footage. Echo has really been the director on this project. We'll let you know how its coming. We know the footage we got from that shoot has a lot of potential. We see so much being done on Motionographer, we're trying to step our game up.
I have some of the sketches/storyboards, just need to scan them soon.
He's got more production shots on his flickr. The image should have a link attached

Happy 87th Birthday Grandpa!
Just the 1st pass spent around 90mins. Let's see how far I go when I spend another 2hrs on him. I really enjoyed studying his features and proportions. Now its time for the detail of wrinkles and moles. Round Two Fight!
Worm Concept to Model
I've recently joined a group of students & alumni who are trying to help create the vision of our director/teacher Thierry DiDonna for a experimental class called Group Project at Ex'pression College for the Digital Arts.

My BART Journal
Here are some of the people I've seen over the year's riding the BART. They come in all shapes and sizes, colors and creeds. What a wonderful melting pot I live in, you never know what kind of character you'll sit across from. Hopefully you just have a sketchbook in hand to capture their personality.Enjoy!
