Dungeon and Dragons : part 2

sept has gone by quickly.
I havn't updated in such long while on my own art. Been bogged down with a few projects.
I developed some weird callous on my wrist and thumb.. its kind of gross.
I was going to take a picture of it... but I rather not gross out anyone.

Anyways, I had a done a few a illustration for Dungeon and Dragons a few months back. I had forgotten to post them.

It's funny after being away from a painting for so long. I had other ideas of how I would do it differently.

but here they are.

Halo Legends

ok Halo ODST is out soon.
man I wish I had a xbox 360. I unfortunately haven't even played the third chapter of Halo (the final chapter! arrrggg...)

butsaw these clips for the Halo Legends, the anime..
HOT!

I wish I had a Iphone

I'm not much of a cel phone person. Yeah I have one...
yeah I call people.. yeah I use it for work.

For me the Iphone is just a nice toy...
yeah kind of neat stuff on there.

There was nothing that shouted to me.. I NEED THIS.

One of my friends Syd works at Alias and worked on this app. I didn't have a Iphone so I kind of ignored following up on it....
but after seeing this video.. . HOLY CRAP

I mean I usually have a sketchbook on me.. but you know for those days where you just itching to draw but don't have a pen or no napkin to doodle on.......

Scribblenauts

The game I want, but have no time to play!
as previously mentioned.. I have very little freetime.. and if I have it I try to excerise (I sit long hrs, and if I don't move around I feel like crap).

Out this week is Scribblenauts coming out on the DS.
LOOKS SO AWESOME!!!!!

Feeling Inspired and amazed (whippish back to work)

A couple of neat videos to share, since I have no artwork that i can show right now.. and I'm just keeping my head above water for now.

A little something to inspire
I happened to catch this on drawn.ca
I thought the use of cardboard was brilliant...

-song by They might be giants.

And this is a little something for fascination i have with mechanics and robots.
(i'm kind of curious why the narrator switches from a british accent to a north american accent)
I really like how each of the end fingers can be adapted and angled accordingly to be used like a thumb (it's a lefty and a righty all in one!




this one has some really dynamic motion (thought this was really impressive)

now back to work.

Thirsty? Awesome

Sigh so many games Coming out and... yet I have 6 games unopened, New loco roco (I still have the second untouched.) is c oming and Disgaea 2! (first game untouched... all waiting to play) for psp.
and Scribblenauts... coming and Little Big Planet for psp.

sigh I wish I had time to play.
But at least this video hit the spot.

Renderfist Fanexpo Photos

Oh man what a crazy couple of days.

I want to thank my table mates at Renderfist for being so patient with me.
Craig Adams , Charlene Chua, Ted Kim, Sanford Kong, Hilary Leung
I was a bit stressed out the first day, making sure everyone got their passes, and finding enough chairs ( someone stole our chair!).

I think it was probably the nonstop bunch of laughs. Although it was terribly draining. I'm exhausted but I'm back to work today.
I'm updating this blog between drawings.

After reviewing the last few days, all I can think of is the non stop of laughs. Although it was terribly draining (how does Bobby Chiu and Kei and his crew do it?). I'm exhausted but I'm back to work today.
I'm updating this blog between drawings.

We had some cool cats around our table. And did some balloon volleyball... people around us like
Jason Loo, Evan Munday and Mark Mcdonnell who sat behind us, FYI he's a DISNEY ANIMATOR!!!!! flew from LA for Fanexpo!).



I think we had lot of energy at our table, talking to each other and the attendees at the Fanexpo.

Some really memorable quotes from the top of my mind (I won't reveal the names so I don't embarrass anybody exclusively).

First quote
Renderfist Rep 3- " Hey you like C*****s, N****s, and B***s right?" to patron
patron "Uh no"
Renderfist Rep 3 "then you like girls right?" Points to prints done by "Renderfist Rep 2"
patron -confused and stunned " uhhh...."

Second Quote
Patron 1 is holding book and wondering if they should by it.

Renderfist rep 3 -" Look at this book, I worked on this. I laboured on this. This is my baby!!!!"

Renderfist rep 1 quickly jumps in "YES! YOU CAN HAVE HIS BABY!!! Don't you want his Baby!!!"

Patron Stunned.. and laughs

Third Quote
Conversation goes on with Renderfist rep1 + 2 + 3.
Renderfist rep 4 "hey did you just say smoke free ovaries"

Day 1

One of the happy faces that I was first to recognise was Marvin Law He also happens to be.... I forget how we're related? Either very distant family or friend of the family... I have no idea.. but its a complicated story and It's too long to write about it.

here's pics of us below setting up the table








Craig Yeung who came running over to find us to say Hello
I managed to stop by Craig's table to say Hello to Logan Luberia and Lisa Luberia they still look the same).

The rest of the day was just trying to get settled in to the con. I was amazed how busy it was. I havn't been to Fanexpo in 10, I had no idea how big it grew!

Day 2
This day was interesting. It was really packed and packed Fast!
with our Exhibition pass we were able to skip a long line up.
I was informed by long time Rick Lapointe and his Girl friend Sam that the line up was 2 3 hrs waiting time to get in the exhibition. Silly me forgot to take a pic of these cool cats. They went out of their way to find me first thing when they got there!
You guys rock!









Ted helping setup Sanford's portfolio. (The very Mysterious Sanford!)


Ted and some friends.



One of the coolest ladies that came by the booth.
She had this really cool shirt!
Not only did she come by once... I think total she came by 4 or 5 times total during the whole convention.
For a moment I assumed she was a stalker... until she happily decided to buy some prints from me on the last day at the last hour.




A little bit of a view of the expo








managed to get Some crazy Cosplay. I've seen cosplay on the net.. but I've never really seen it happen in real life. some really crazy and well put together costume. thats really hardcore fandom.
Here's some that passed by our table
