Day of Fanexpo + old art.

Only a few more hours till fanexpo starts...
kind of getting antsy.. and trying to cram in some work before the show.

Ok before Fragbot... I thought I would squeeze in a backup art piece in case I couldn't finish.

I thought I would do a homage to old 60's poster art and lay in some graphic design elements.
Ohmygod shes wearing skimpy clothes?

I was aiming for some pinup style art to sell ( using extensive "market research" to determine what will sell well of course ).
But images of Raging feminists and angry mom's haunted my mind so I decided not to include this in my Prints for sale line up. (actually i think full colour art work will sell better).

But that won't stop me from posting the image on the internet.

Remember drop by Table A20 at Fanexpo!

Renderfist, Fanexpo Prints

Well only a few days left for Fanexpo.
My table mates at Renderfist, are ready to go.

We put together this video showcasing some prints that we will be selling there.
Hope to see you there
Table A20.




Just a side note, I'm totally swamped. I'm working as hard as I can before fanexpo (I can't see myself doing much work between those 3 days). I'll give you a heads up, Sept will have a serious lack of art updates from me.

BUT, I will still posts any fun and wacky stuff.

Fanexpo! where you can find us. Render Fist

Fanexpo is about to hit Toronto.

I'm sharing a table with Ted Kim, Charlene Chua, Sanford Kong, Hilary Leung, and Craig Adams.
Look for our table called "Render Fist"

Fragbit: fanexpo

I'm inbetween doing commissions and jobs... so when I'm waiting for feedback... I'm scrambling to finish something I had planned to do months ago before the Joust (I'm so glad I started this piece early). I had to stop because of the deadline for the Joust piece.

but anyways if you're at fanexpo drop by say hi. Our table will be called "Renderfist"
Unfortunately they havn't set the table numbers yet.
back to colouring.... (rush rush rush)

Uberbooks

Managed to run into this article over at Gamesetwatch.com
they have a bit of news of that Joust Pic I submited for Uber books.
You can read about more info there.

Who ever wrote the article as some pretty good investigation skills. Not sure how he found me.
But thanks for the post!

Getter Robo! Chibi SD Fewture edition

Getter Robo! (I'll be posting a colour video of this soon... just rendering it now, so Stayed Tuned)

I have been aching to do some fan art of one of my favorite Anime of all time. Getter Robo.
I grew up with it as a kid.
Opening for the show
(actually more specifically Starvengers, aka Getter Robo G).

A few years back Fewture did a restyling by the late great Taku Sato.(I wrote a toy review it back in 2006)

Years later, they've done a reissue of it. I thought I would do a homage of Fewture Getter as a Chibi Super Distort figure (no they don't have one of that yet). But why not imagine what it looks like.




If youw ant to see a Time Lasped Video of me colouring...

Joust Tutorial

As promised here's the step by step for Joust.
I also included a video version (sorry it's not a timelapse... but a slide show of the same image). I just thought a altnerate medium would be nice to have.

Joust WIP 6

oh man busy weekend.
I managed to get a bit ahead this week, and allowed sometime to socialize a little bit. It's good to go out and catch up with friends.
I spent Sunday to get back to doing some artwork(oh the guilt).
I'm so close to finishing this piece.

I just have the background to do.
I'll be working on a step by step when this project is complete.

I’ll Go Crazy If I Don’t Go Crazy Tonight -U2

still working hard at work. I'm hoping to get back on to the joust pic maybe this weekend (if Luck will have it).

but anways I caught this video from drawn.ca
thought the style and look was stunning.

U2 - I'll Go Crazy If I Don't Go Crazy Tonight from David OReilly on Vimeo.

Alan Moore and the Watchmen

Quick summary on Watchmen.
comic : loved it
movie : loved it.

Alan Moore
Comic : loved it
movie : hates it.

I mean he recognizes it to be one of his best pieces. But he hates the Hollywood medium of his works. He refuses to see it. Which is too bad. I thought it was pretty respectful of his work. I really believed it was going to be hard one to translate. But it was done really well.

So anyways here's this video.

Nobody Watches the Watchmen - watch more funny videos

Gobelins Annecy festival

Gobelins second year animation students (don't let the term Students fool you).

Joust WIP 5

managed to throw up some colours.
Guess what still not done this part. I still have to add some colour reflections, as well as vary up the colours in the highlights and shadows.

It's going to be a while before I update maybe 26th of july or so. I have to meet my second deadline. Thankfully my third and fourth deadline is a long way off, so I can finish it off by the end of this month.

Joust WIP 4

Just another update.
The progress is slow. I have to finish this piece by 31st.
But I also have to hit all my deadlines for work(thats a lot of drawings. 100 roughs finished, 100 more to go). So I'm trying to wedge updates as soon as I can.
