Sketch of the Day

Working in house again doing some character designs for a pitch for an intro credit sequence. That's all I can really say about that for now. Other than that I am doing some character designs with some buddies in Singapore for an animated short that we want to enter in film festivals this year, trying to wrap up the finishing touches on the kid's book and working on a Street Fighter piece.

So, all in all not too busy. I always feel like I need to be doing more.

Sketch of the Day

SOTD 02/19/10

Sketch of the Day, inspired by Aliens and Predator.










Next is my version of a Mangalore from the 5th Element. My version revolves around the idea that the Mangalores were actually organisms that fuse with a human host. Some are more evolved and have intelligence and reason. On the other, there are those that do not evolve fully and become quite grotesque and deformed.

I call this one THE DECOY. You see the the human head and silhouette of the upper body in the shadows so recognize it as safe. However, as you approach it the creature gets a jump on you and well.....messes you up royally and makes a filet-o-fish out of you.





I will probably do another iteration fo this creature because there are some things I want to push a little differently.

Sketches and Studies

Sketch of the Day

Went up to SF this past weekend for a much needed mini-vacation. I love that city, so much character not only in the people but in the buildings.

Anyways, first time in a while I just sketched to sketch. Here are a few of the pages from the trip.


























Lastly, here is a page of studies for a future piece I am currently working on...can you tell what it is?



Back for more tomorrow.

Crazy work schedule but its starting to clear up a little. Here's the latest street fighter study.







Another sketch, was running on fumes last night and messing around with the markers and picked out a funny face. This face grew into the sketch below, Mr. Jeeves armed to the teeth.






Lastly, on the way to a Mongolian hot pot restaurant, I saw this person crossing the street. The large hat was covering their face and neck but this is what I imagined them to look like as they crossed the street anxiously.






I will try to post my versions of Leeloo and the Mangalore next week.

SOTD 02/03/10

Been working a lot this week. Freelance at night plus working in house this week doing some storyboards for TV spot. Got some free time to squeeze another study in for a larger piece.






Also, my take on Korben Dallas' taxi. I normally do not design vehicles, but have been having fun with these designs.





Enjoy!
