I dream of robots

When you were a kid, did you ever imagine building your own robot? Did you ever plan as soon as you grew up to learn how to build that robot...

too bad reality doesn't work out sometimes... but lucky enough there are those who can!

2 X times the fun

Saw this while I was taking a break today.
Man this blows my mind

Shin Mazinger Z

Wow over in Japan.
The new Mazinger (or retelling).
has just been released.

I'm a huge fan of the old school super robots (Go Nagai).
I havn't seen it yet myself... but I thought I would post some clips.

Avatar

A while back I did my business cards. One day I was bored and animated it.
Since the blogs don't take animated gifs that well.. I made a quick animated video of it.

if you're interested I put it on shirts at Mysoti

Easter Bunny Vs Evil Easter Bunny part 2

sorry i had a friend request putting a diaper version this and it turned out pretty funny.
the problem now is I'm not sure which I like more...

diapers or no diapers

I also ended up animating it with blinking eyes.

Easter Bunny Vs Evil Easter Bunny

Happy Easter!

I seperated the image into a few parts.
Background in one layer. Middle Ground (fluffy bunny and robo bunny plus Misc objects carrot drill and the basket of eggs). And then the foreground bushes and grass.

sad sad sad

sorry been busy the last while.. I'll post some art soon I swear!

but my friend Charlene Chua sent me this link for "artists to make money"

ok I have no problem about stock art. But you have to admit how sketchy that ad looks below.
It's just a plain mockery of any artist who work long hrs and years to develop their skills.

Yeah its hard to get started but I hope nobody falls for this kind of stuff out there.

CS4 add OpenGL drivers= Instant love

ok for the last month and half I have had photoshop CS4. Theres some nice touches.. but I hadn't had the time to get the OpenGL drives enabled for cs4.. in fear of destablizing my system during a job. So today I've finally been able to set that up (after dealing with 4 hrs of trying to get my taxes in order over the phone.... The people I talked to were nice enough.. but it took forever to figure what was going on).

But anyways OPEN GL IS AWESOME.. my machine is running way smoother with my file... the zooms/pans silky smooth. I still havn't tried everything yet.. but the rotating canvas is awesome. IT DRAWS like alias sketchbook (smooth lines!!!! no more jaggies).
I can't get over cs4.

tears of joy.
I'm so happy.

Bruce Lee Vs Iron Man

sorry been a bit busy,
I promise to get some fun art done soon.
But I had to post this... so awesome!

it's in HD too if you like...

Darkstalkers

Well they announced the winners for the darkstalkers from Udon. I was really happy to hear my 3 good friends(Hilary Leung, Ted Kim, Charlene Chua), and super tallented made it into the book!!!!
Congrats guys!

Unfortunately I didn't make the cut. I wish I didn't rush the drawing and jump into painting.
but here's what I did.

I should count myself lucky to have made it into last years.
But congrats to all the winners.

Basement 416, Creative Photoshop (my name isn't Vince Chua)

My friends and I from Basement416 were interviewed in Photoshop Creative Magazine.
Basement416 (is our collective group of illustrators)

members are Christina Ung, Rey Ortega, Charlene Chua (not related or married to), Ted Kim(also not related or married to), and Sanford Kong.

Although Unfortunatetly my name was spelt incorrectly.
My name was spelt Chua. It's spelt Chui...
and I'm not married to Charlene or related!!! (just to clarify!)

I'm going to chapters and pick up a copy soon.
and bring a marker to make corrections at the store.

But Simon Skellon a writer at Creative Magazine. Was really nice during the process and I appreciate the hardwork (I handed in my interview sooo late!). Even after pointing at the small error. At some point he had mentioned making a editorial correction down the road (woohooo mentioned again in another issue of the mag!)

Charlene also did a podcast interview for our group

That Prinny Dood!

Just fitting in some game time before the next project about to start.
I havn't touched any gaming at all this year until yesterday.
I picked up Loco Roco 2 and Prinny.
Prinny is not for the gamer that has little patience.

But it's so frusterating!!!!! but deffinitely deep rooted like the classic side scrollers like Mario, Megaman, Ghost and Goblins.
Thinking it now, the games today seem far too easy compared to the games of yesterday.
But the frusteration, the game is beautiful.

now if I can only locate Disgaea for psp (man is that hard to find.. I regret not picking it up when it first came out!)

interview.

Here's a short interview I did over at sparyblog.net
It's short. To be honest I never know what to say for this kind of thing

Pirate Vs Ninja dodgeball wii

April 3 09.
Sigh unfortunately it looks like they are no longer using my artwork for the game cover.


EDIT--------------------------------
Well a few months back I had worked on the cover art of Pirate Vs Ninja Dodgeball.
It was fun project, the guys over at Blazing Lizard were a lot of fun to work with.
Well I know those guys are hard at work as the release date for them comes closer and closer. I just happened to google the internet to see if it was appearing out on the web and found it over at
www.southpeakgames.com

once the game is officaly released I'll post up a better pic.

Onell Designs

I think this maybe the last time lapse video for the year.

Over at Onell Design, I was very excited they have a new figure out!
Glyos Sarvos!
The new head sculpt is pretty sweet.
I'm hoping when I have time to line up all the army of figures, and take a few quick snaps.

They would make some awesome stalking stuffers!

New website

I have to thank my good friend Charlene Chua For snazzying up my webpage. It was long over due.
Still in the process of updating more of my portfolio. Just going through the archives scanning and updating old work.

oh and my good friend Ted Kim has also recently updated.

street fighter crazy

I went Street Fighter Crazy. (I think it was partly due to insominia).
Chunli I wish I had spent a bit of time working on the pose more.
But the colour job wasn't too bad for the time it took.

Unfortunetly I did a few bit of editing to Chunli proportion wise after recording. Hands too big. Arm too long etc oh well...
