Disney's Moana: YESSS!!! :3

We attended our wrap party for Moana last night! Cannot begin to explain the positive mana and pride my Wife and I got out of it!

Moana is a celebration of all that is dear to us as Pacific Islanders. From the profound to the subtle to the personal. John Musker and Ron Clements and their team have set the bar even higher than ever.

The love and desire to not just make an entertaining story, but to respectfully represent a vast
society of cultures in a unified and harmonious vision is evident from the time the curtain rises and until the lights come on.

It is an experience that we all can enjoy and appreciate and be proud of.

I am truly humbled and proud to work side by side with these people.

Thank you Moana crew! Fa'afetai tele lava! Mauruuruu roa! Mahalo nui loa!

(

OH! And big shout out to the brilliant, mad genius LEO MATSUDA and his ridiculously awesome short “Inner Workings” that appears before Moana!!)CHEE-HOO! ;)

Thank you WILDSTAR!

It's time for a new adventure to begin (as if our lives have room for that :p)

But that means I have to leave Carbine behind.

Thank you carbine for letting me do my thang for as long as you did!

I wish you all luck, I wish you all peace and I wish you aloha ~

Siva mai teine Moana!!

CHEEEE-HOOOOO!!!!! ;D.......

Get ready, Wildstar Online's latest drop coming soon!!! ;)

Strain Beasty...

First model sheet I did here.

They needed to use an existing rig for a strain beast and this is what they got :)...

Saw the new "Pete's Dragon" trailer.

It's bad enough he's CG, I get it. Whatever.

But, from what I saw I'm pretty sure HE'S WAAAY OFF MODEL!!! ugh :P



A little Uneasy in the Big Easy....
