Emerald City Comic Con

Here's a couple of images I took at the Emerald City Comic Con. DigiPen had a booth there to advertise and I was there to represent. Unfortunately, the only real highlights were what I took pix of . . . seeing an original Milt Caniff was awesome! Also, I finally got to meet Alberto Ruiz. There is a link to his blog in my links section . . . you must check his stuff out especially if you love the female form!

The First Rule of Fight Club is . . . .

Yup, DigiPen Fight Club . . . except it's done with video games instead of fists. Maybe Microsoft has the real deal. I heard those guys get so stressed out at work that they're looking to blow off some steam. I wonder . . . .

Pilot

Here's another digital sketch . . . a little look and feel for a heroic WWII pilot.

Pimp my Artwork

The students in my Raster Graphics for Animation class challenged me to "pimp" this image they found on an art forum. I decided I would use this as a "teaching opportunity" and did an in-class demo on painting in Photoshop. Enjoy.

Visual Development in progress

Here's some quick digital thumbs/viz dev of an Elk for a potential summer project that the faculty here at DigiPen might work on. If all goes according to plan we may be animating a 30 second short as a tool for crosstraining and fodder for marketing and competition. Keep your fingers crossed.

Mariners versus Chi Sox

Here's a panoramic shot of SafeCo Field. This was my first ball game here in Seattle. The home team beat up on Chicago. I attended the game with my colleagues Gordon and Jazno. Jazno took the pix and composited them in Photoshop. Check Jazno out at http://jazno.com

In the elevator . . .

Sorry I haven't blogged in a while. Too much going on at work. Too much drama. Am I going up or down? We'll see . . . . more later.
