Just keeping busy. I still have a lot to learn about lighting cus I felt like a retard shading some of these guys. Hoo-ah!



Also! Some dudes made a sweet cover of Nitro Man's stage music from Mega Man 10... Pretty wicked stuff.

80's sci-fi word vomit

More doodles


I've been watching Blade Runner a lot recently, so these doodles are pretty Blade Runner-esque (except for that old cowboy and the samurai dude, heh)

The first time I watched Blade Runner was a couple years ago. While watching it, I was bored out of my mind. I nearly fell asleep, and was a little confused by the end. The second time I watched it.....I was bored out of my mind still.

I recently watched it again, and I understood and liked it. I think Blade Runner is a movie you just have to watch a bunch of times before you can really appreciate it. Took a long freaking time, but I can say I like the movie now, and not just because of its aesthetics. Speaking of aesthetics, holy crap. I mean this isn't news or anything but, jeez! The designs for all the props, wardrobes, vehicles and environments never fail to leave my jaw hanging. The movie's art and effects still hold up pretty damn well to this day, and I think that's proof of just how ahead of its time it was. ... I could go on and on, but this is stuff everybody already knows. Just gettin' it out there that I really like Blade Runner.

I'm pretty much in love with anything 80's sci-fi... I think it first spawned long ago when I played a game that had a lot of synth beats and electronica music in it. It really caught my attention and I loved the sound of it. From then on, whenever I heard any music that was synth heavy, I got pretty excited. As my taste in movies matured, I started watching old movies to see what I've been missing. A lot of old sci-fi movies had synth scores, and thus I became hooked. The mesmerizing sound of synth music mixed with childhood memories of watching hilariously gory, sci-fi movies like Total Recall, Terminator, Running Man (heh) or Robocop on tv really just created in me, a love for this stuff. 80's sci fi. Fuck. Yes.

I may be wrong, but I think as far as great synth scores go, Blade Runner is the ultimate example. Check it out!

This is one of the reasons why I love the game, Mass Effect, so damn much. It has synth heavy music! Plus, the art style borrows a lot of elements from Syd Mead's designs for many sci-fi movies, Blade Runner included. What's not to love?

I've been meaning to write about this stuff for a while. A lot of passion went into this post, but it came out all jumbled. Ah well. Blade Runner! 80's sci-fi! Synthesizers! Time to conk out.

More Doodlage

They've all got a story to tell

Art Fart

Long time no post!

I've slowly been slipping away from drawing, but just recently got very inspired to keep at it and get better. I think it's amazing how just a couple minutes spent looking at great artwork can inject so much drive and passion into an artist.

Funny then, that the pictures below aren't any of the drawings I've made after having been inspired recently. Nope, these are old poops I've found laying around that I think are still worth posting. My newer drawings will be posted sometime soon though!








Sometimes I forget just how fulfilling drawing can be. Pencil and paper, it's so simple. Yet therein lie infinite possibilities! There have been times when I'm drawing, and I think to myself, "I can do just this for the rest of my life and be happy". Add in a lifetime supply of Honey Bunches of Oats, and damn if it ain't true.

Pop Secret "Dark Knight"

Here is the first of three Pop Secret spots I've been working on over at Nathan Love! They are all based on movies, and this first one is based on The Dark Knight. It just started airing on tv. Check it out!


I animated Grandma's demise popping, and most of the shots of Bobby, save for the last shot, and the one where Grandma jumps off the sofa. I've had the pleasure of working with some great people over at Nathan Love these past few months. Every day is a blast, and I'm really proud of all the work we churn out. Two more of these spots are on the way. I'm sure they'll be just as awesome!

You Could Be Mine

So...damn...tired. o__o;;

Here's a cg of Regina I made recently. There are a couple things about the pic that irk me (proportions and face arrangement), but overall I'm pretty pleased with it. Usually after I finish a cg, I'll look back at it after a couple days and think it looks like utter crap, but not with this one! Hope ya dig.


I was gonna try and finish off this entry with something mildly clever and profound, but then I realized I'm neither of those. Instead, I leave you with this masterfully crafted paper mache of Pikachu!
