Latest Painting...

Here's the latest. It's two 16x20 canvas's side by side.

I think I'll name it, "Tatau Moemoea 1".

Disney's Clone Wars Adventures~

Since Disney recently bought the rights to everything LucasArts including CloneWarsAdventures,
the game we work on, I thought I'd finally share a few of the older concepts I did for it....

I primarily animate on the project now but during pre-vis I got to do some fun stuff.

Early on I suggested it'd be cool if Cad Bane had two trouble making Brothers that

made even him look sheepish. George wasn't down with it. Maybe Mickey'll like it :)

 

I'm still trying to get them to greenlight baby versions of lots of the StarWars/CloneWars beasties!

We all want a Rancor baby pet!! :p...

 

These two concepts were just at the top of one of the folders of billions of concepts for wearables and character suggestions. So.... 'oila~

 

Among the piles of weapons, costumes, vehicles, and other miscellanea are folders of housing designs and layouts. Here's a taste of a few of the earlier concepts:

 

       This is the original concept of the Jedi Lounge and below it is an unfinished drawing for part
        of the Jedi Officer's Lounge...

...and early concepts for various dwellings and living spaces:

I need to make a Deathstar with mouse ears now ;)

Happy Halloween!!

                                                      

From the Desk where millions of pencils and papers have died....

....... or lived, depending on the observer ;p...

This is the centerfold page to my sketchbook.
And yep. This is my actual desk and that's my actual lovely family and me in the top corner. Aw!:)
                                                                                    All the pictures are Photoshoppped on though.

And this little gentleman is one of my old character designs for The Mark of Kri/Rise of the Kasai ~
                                                                                                                         

"Happy Un-Birthday!!" :P

                                      Ran across some old birthday cards...

 

(.... apologies to Chris Sanders & Andreas Deja ;p)

 

Here's a little sumthin' for you Mark of Kri fans :)...

Big props to whoever took the time to put this together!! Too fun! I ran across it on YouTube.
It's the tiny flipbook animation from the bottom corner of The Mark of Kri video game manual.
Just a  fun, rough, little-quicky space filler ;P
