Lunar Lander: Google X-Prize

2013-05-10T10:08:00.000-07:00

About 5 years ago I was lucky enough to work on one of the pitches for Google X-Prize Lunar Lander. This is a still frame from one of the animations. It's very crude because I didn't know what I was doing at the time but I had 8 hours to storyboard it, get it approved and then animate the sequence. The good thing about getting thrown into the fire is you learn quickly. It's amazing what urgency will do to your skill set. Unfortunately we didn't get the prize. But the experience was priceless.

Jordan 5000s. They just give you a mech that plays ball for you instead of shoes. Future nonsense.

I did illustration demos for high school students at Raytheon yesterday and it got in the paper (arizona daily star). Pretty cool.

Jordans

Jordan's birthday was today so I felt like drawing Jordans. Wanted to design something off the "89" versions.

Rancor Dragon Update

2013-02-05T18:53:00.000-08:00

I don't have a lot of projects that require me to design female characters. So I'm trying to get better at them. I used no reference so it's taking a little longer than it should. But I want to test my knowledge of anatomy. But at this point I think I need to go back to anatomy studies and learn to block them in properly in the beginning stages. My process isn't efficient when it comes to designing characters. In fact I'm discovering I need to go back to design exercises in general. I need to build my "visual library" as Feng Zhu would say. And the only way to get better at that is to keep drawing and be mindful of design.

I feel like I've abandoned my blog because I don't have anything to post. I'm on 3 projects outside of my day job that take almost all my time. They are all protected IP's so I can't show any of it. But the body of work is getting up there and it's stuff I always wanted to do. Hopefully I can show them in the future. In the meantime here's an oldie. Done about 7 years ago. I already want to fix it.

Imperial Throne Room

2012-06-25T23:39:00.001-07:00

Sorry for not posting in so long. Been knee deep in game development and trying to handle my day job. Really stretching it these days. But I think it's worth it. I was able to squeeze this one out a few weeks ago. My take on the throne room with a different take on the guards.

Phoenix Comic Con

2012-05-24T17:38:00.001-07:00

Hi all. Sorry for not posting in a while. Been really busy on Steel Grit our top down shooter game for android. Also been working on some new pieces for the Samurai Collection. The ebay store is down now but will soon be back up. Looking into new products to show case soon. Lots of exciting things going on these days. Not enough hours to enjoy creating all this stuff. More art coming soon. In meantime check out some pics from Phoenix Con. It's going down this weekend. Allen Amis who is a fantastic fabricator is showing off the Boba Fett costume he built based off my design. He did a pretty good job. Stay tuned!

Toying around with some imperial Guard designs. I think I had Mortal Kombat on my mind when I looked at them later.
