update!

Looooooong time no post!

I started at Sony last semester as a Vis Dev Intern and its been amazing! Trying the balance work and school and life has been hard but I managed to get this personal project done over my winter break.

It's an expansion on an assignment from last semester (last post). I designed a character, vehicle, and environment to accompany my "Box of Good" that I designed at the beginning of last semester.

Box of Good and Evil

My first assignment for my 5th and final year at San Jose State! 

We were to design a "box of good or evil". I was assigned good. we were to design the box and the key; other then that it was wide open to our own interpretation. I designed a device (box) that uses a special plant and rare meteorite stone (key) to purify water for those in need.

Dota 2 Courier sketches

So I've been super busy working on a film at school and had to put my personal project on hold for now. I hope to show the vis dev i've been working on in the film at the end of the summer though. 

I also started working with some friends on creating a courier for the game Dota 2. I'm going to design it, my friend Ben is going to model it and my friend Alvin will animate it if all goes smoothly. 

Here are some initial ideas.

Personal Project: The Two Brothers

Here's the protagonist of a personal project I'm working on over the summer. Based off the Brother Grim fairy tale, The Two Brothers. With a Mongolian/Tibetan spin!


I had actually originally planned to go with a much more stylized approach to this project and came up with these sketches below. But decided later that i need to practice working more realistically.

Truck Gunner and Driver Team

Here's my finished third project for my Advanced Visual Development class.

 The requirements were to have a vehicle and 2 characters. The vehicle had to be a pick up truck with a mounted weapon and the driver and gunner had to be California native animals.

Other than that, we were allowed to really go wild on this project and seeing what everyone come up with was fun! I went with frogs and a flame thrower.

Flower Shop Pt. 2

2nd week's showing for my flower shop project. I really need to stop putting that interior off. I'll be building a proxy maya model to flesh it out. Traditional perspective is confusing me.
