Anomaly '09

Hard at work on my D-war entry

in the meantime I had a chance to attend the 'Anomaly' CG movement workshop in Vancouver. It featured local artists working in the industry doing demonstration and keynotes. Check out the website with list of artists HERE

Not a bad turnout at the event and hopefully next year it will be bigger and better

So moving onto the final action shot painting


here's some quick thumbnails for it

D-war final design

here's more or less finalized version of my character before I move onto the actual illustrations for the contest

Building....

A preview for final design

Back in Vancity

In case the few of you that come here was wondering why I've been quiet for the past few days, I was enjoying myself in Las Vegas over the long weekend XD (yea, one would think I'd mention something like that)

No I did not marry a hooker while intoxicated

No I did not become a millionare unfortunately. I think altogether I was set back 20 bucks in U.S dollars, which is not too bad. I certainly could have done much worse.

It was actually a very inspiring place to be as an artist, which was surprising to me. If the sheer scale and grandness of things that they've built over there won't do it for ya, at least the endless stream of hot girls in skimpy dresses will ;)

Not sure why I took picture of that old rag as soon as I got back. I reached for a shirt in my drawer and that's the one I grabbed. Brings back memories (some pleasant some not so pleasant)

Thankfully for those looking at it from their computer can't tell how dirty and smelly it has gotten over the years

Dwar Update

So I've started a thread at CG society for my D-War entry

Here's the link to my entry

pretty much same stuff I've shown here. Anyways now I have to update two sites at the same time -__0

Open Mike Night

I keep getting side tracked from doing D-WAR stuff but this one I had to get out of my system

On another note the new monitor is growing on me...It's still freakin' big though

Too much power

Been distracted because I got a new setup at home. new samsung 24" monitor


I must stress that the monitor is ridiculously big. I think I'll probably downgrade to something smaller because it hurts my eyes

My new system with new....well everything. I think I can fit my head through that fan
And just some reaction shots when I turned it on:

Mantis bot - color concept

Here's another D-WAR update. I've gone in a slightly different direction with the Mantis bot concept, going for more agile and bare-minimum approach. I was planning to do concept for other two races but this one is growing on me...
