CDA and Samurai Champloo

Besides freelancing, I have been taking a class with the famous chainsaw art master Carlo Arellano. And it has truly been a previlage to learn from him. Here is a few rough sketches I did in his class. Also a shout out to folks at Triad Toys. They really did a fantastic job on "Samurai Champloo". And I am very glad that I could'v been a part of it. =] Here is the prototype, and these bad ass 12 '' figures with real metal weapons are launching this X'mas.

Project Beowulf Character Designs

Gearwar Project Vehicle sketch

Project focused on designing vehicles and integrating them into interactive scenes. One of the main theme of this project is gears and steam.

Stone jungle sketch

This one i sorta just started attacking a white canvas and decided to do something moody and simple in graphic. after couple hrs i ended up with this guy. It was alot of fun during the painting imagining these things being built and how they function; Who would live there, how they transport things, how these structures act as defense mechanisms, etc. =]

I was out on a landscape study trip at kodak threatre in hollywood and saw this pale trash bag looking thing flaping around on this roof under sun light. It wraps and streches it self into funny forms in wind, very interesting to look at.
