Hand Painting..

2009-06-17T04:53:00.001-07:00

So this is what i been up to recently, painting and repainting about 4 times now and now its finally up to an acceptable standard. It's not perfect, but i think its a pretty good start for a novice ey? hehe. Hand painting really ain't as easy as it may look but its funnn. Next thing i wanna try is spray painting and modeling characters out of clay, that would be fun.

Visual Styles

2009-04-25T08:33:00.001-07:00

Was just doing some Visual Styles development for my Concept Development. And this is potentially a Final Year Project for next Semester.

A rough summary of the storyline goes like this- Boy in the backseat of car while dad drives. Boy is bored, makes funny faces at his stuff toy. Stuff toy reacts by making a funny face back at him. Boy is shocked and tells dad. Dad doesn't believe him. Boy is frustrated, he throws toy out of car. Dad picks it up and warns boy not to do it again. Dad hears window screen opening again, yells at son and as he looks through the rear view mirror, finds his son missing. Dad turns around to see the empty backseat and the stuff toy looking at him, ready to pounce. Car starts to swerve around crazily and finally crashes into a pole/ tree.

Ok someone used up the name "dexlab", so i decided to use it backwards, hence the title. Anyway, this blog is a compilation of my works done over time. I figured it would be a good way to upload my updated work easily as well as keep an archive of what i've done over the years and hopefully the years ahead. Feel free to comment whenever! =)
