More AVATAR

James Cameron's Avatar will be around for many years to come. The whole world is so vast and so many creatures created, we'll be seeing more of Pandora on the sequels ;). woohoo!

Was looking through some old pics of my high school projects and found this. My 4' tall Alien creature!
It weighed around 50 lbs. by the time it was completed and came with full articulated parts, specially the secondary Tongue-brain-buster, lol..Little did I know I would eventually meet one of my idols who created many of Hollywood's memorable creatures, the one and only FX guru , Stan Winston. (R.I.P)
Pic taken from one of my early studio days straight right out of high school. I made these character stands from foam boards. With no projector tools back then, these were all done freehand and hand painted. Now with the Airbrush tools, I can easily create my own characters in less time I did the old way.

Only artists can truly appreciate the amount of work that went into creating these characters. From the intricate patterns on the skin down to the folds and strands of each hair.
And of course, for those who are into tech and mechs..these mean machines are daym eye candy and wonderful to watch in motion. Wait 'till you see the live Macross, Starblazers and Steel Breed on screen, lol.

It was only a matter of time. Inspired visuals from my fav movie.
Lineart version. I remember a good friend (Yo Mirko!:D) who drew these insanely details of skulls and blades of grass in ink. In the end, I just had to detail it up and it suited the scene, the difference here is that it was all digital and done with my Wacom tablet. Gotta love it.

2010 and Beyond!

A new decade and well, the FUTURE has arrived! The year 2010 has a very nice ring to it. Just saying it sounds too cool, lol. I have full confidence that all the hard work from the previous years will finally pay off. It's already exciting because I can now slowly start posting some of these!..



Let the games begin.
Why I love these family gatherings.
My buddies Bluetoothin' away. 3D Holograms for 2010 dammit!
A special keg at one of my best friends party. Such a noob, I've never seen one like this before.
Live-Laugh-Loved.
Lotsa, lotsa Love thanks to Miss Mina. Live sketchin' and all digital. Sorry kids close your eyes!, lol.

Ok to look now, haha. A Merry card from 2009.

My 2nd favourite setup on the planet as well as my second home, lol.
Avatar has now set the bench mark. I aim to reach that, lol. My babies will be on the big screen someday! Ambitious, yet possible ;)

And speaking of Avatar..some concept promos I've worked on. Damn, too bad it wasn't in 3D!, hehe. jk. *Dear James Cameron: Thank You! For AVATAR! Saw it 3 times and I'll likely see it again while it's still in the IMAX theatres.
3D movie experience is here to stay.
