Reuniclus


Nerdy? Yes. Do I care? No. Childish? Hardly.

During the few hours I have during the night, I play the "Pokemon: White" Nintendo DS game, the latest in the Pokemon franchise. There are a lot of weird and cool looking creature designs in this turn based creature RPG. A lot of people think of it as childish and not worth the time for adults. But the strategy, number game, and overall theme of the game reaches a far greater audience of gamer than an 8 year old. In fact, colleges across the nation have tournaments conducted and organized by the students.

But enough with me trying to over-explain why a 30 year old man plays this game. This piece is inspired by one of the games' monsters, "Reuniclus". Its design is based after microscopic cells in mitosis.

Chewy is Naked!


You never really think of this, but except for the bandoleer, Chewbacca is 100% naked. You think Chewy and Han ever had an uncomfortable moment where Chewy's lil' wookie just popped out and tucked it back in then Han just pretended to not notice?

No.5 IS ALIVE!

Decided to take a work break for a few hours and threw this together. It's a work in progress of "Short Circuit" main character, "Johnny 5" just to mess with Corel Painter 11 again.

Rivet Monkey CDS-014

What?! Another blog post so soon?! I know...This design came to me earlier today (Or I should say yesterday) while I was putting my son to sleep for the night. I like this design for a construction robot mainly because I like the idea of a little monkey robot running up and down girders riveting them into place. Also the bandoleer of rivets made up to be his tail is fun for me. I wish I had the time to animate it, honestly.

Strong Arm CDS-002

Too long since I put up something new. Sorry about that. The usual reason...work and life.

I'm in those few days I take to recoup from the last deadline and I wanted to make another Robot blueprint much like the last one.

I went a little further with this design and I'll make this the new design direction. Its more condensed and looks more like an actual blueprint.

Other things: I've opened up an online art store for my prints. You can visit it HERE. Its a little scarce at the moment. If you buy some of my art, that will feed my son for a week :D

I'll be putting this up as a print for sale soon.
