Winter 2011 Update

Hi everyone


Below you'll find an assortment of images that are a mix of professional and personal work. There's a lot of stuff that I'd like to properly archive and share some day, however here are some concepts in the meantime. There are some personal sketches that have stayed just that- sketches. I've gotten what I need out of these sketches so it's time to put these into the so called "digital flat file".


Hope you all are having a great holiday, and see you in 2012!

Resistance 3:

Various sketches for the terraformer interiors.

This is an unused design for an upgraded Chimeran attack drone.

Various sketches:

Independer:

These were character designs done for a series of commercials in the Netherlands. This page of sketches showing some of the emotions we tried to get with an otherwise inanimate object. I was quite happy with how the commercials turned out and the artists and animators who brought it all to life did a really great job :D

Concept Design Academy Fall 2011!!

Hi everyone!

Registration for the fall quarter for CDA classes has begun! Once again there's a really good lineup of instructors.

This quarter a good friend of mine Andy Chung is teaching the Advanced Vis Com class in my place. I highly recommend this class to anyone with an interest in developing your design sketching, Andy has a really long history in the entertainment industry, and brings a lot of knowledge and experience to the table.

Plus he's a cool dude, if you end up in his class, just ask him to bring in and share all of his "portfolios"....

Go sign up!!

Levels and Trash Trucks

Here are some more concepts from Ratchet and Clank Future 2. Enjoy! (had a lot of fun designing the junk trader ships...they were basically giant trash trucks :d)

Adventurey!

I've been playing Mass Effect 2, such inspiring environments! I find myself just wandering around the different awesome locations and getting lost in my imagination and wishing space travel and exploration on this scale was possible...NOW!
