Space Chronicles now online!
16 APRIL, 2008

Finally, after months of work, the new site is now online, new artwork, codex, new comic and a updated trailer. I've put up the basic information to SC universe and main characters, of course I've left out more info that will later be revealed in comics or hopefully animation. Big thanks to Chris Corboy for tidying up my writing for the site.

There is a minor script error for SCU in New Ground #9, it's mention Dyna is Human, she is infact a Sumerian :) Also Captain Eva hair is now officially bleach blonde, instead of a heavy yellow.


Updated Space Chronicles Animated trailer, 2 new scenes added and some new sound fx and I changed the que cards alittle.

img

These are pretty old concepts for Nimby Opera, from middle of 2007 I think, if not earlier, as always I've only uploaded some of the concepts, can't show all the good stuff :)


Thats it for now, I have more other artwork lined up (it never ends.. and why should it! :) so keep checking back!

Quick Sketches: Girls!

These were done for something else.. which changed.. like all good design jobs, since they were lying around not being used, I figured I'll quickly colour and put them up :)

Space Chronicles website will now be relaunched on 18th April. Other new jobs contracted, no release date or info for those :(

Enjoy the half naked girls anyways! :) Thats not my tattoo design, I borrowed it off the net, good old Google image search.

The Skeleton Queen teaser poster

img

Magic, axes and monsters, a new comic I'm developing for DMC New Ground #10. I've released a teaser poster of Brak and Liara with a bunch of evil skeleton warriors (no doubt sent by the Skeleton Queen!), the poster will be featured in New Ground #9 (out in April) and a website available later in the year.

Warning this new comic will contain nudity and gore! maybe even on the official website too :) Not much will be revealed yet as I'm heavily working on Space Chronicles, which is still my priority creation.

Sneak Peek! The Cunning Little Vixen


I did this teaser artwork and character design for Nimby Opera in July 2007, it's been kept underwraps until now, they've recently printed these postcard sized to advertise their latest play Good Angel, Bad Angel in April and started promoting their next play, The Cunning Little Vixen, which will be ready by the end of the year.

If your in Wellington (New Zealand) you'll probably see these flying around, Nimby sent one to me this morning to have a look at my handy work :P The production is still in planning/development stage so I can't say much.

I will have this teaser artwork and maybe some character design available on my site later, as for now I rather if it's exclusive to print.


Also, portfolio section updated, finally!

Collectibles Update!: Mai Shiranui


Really cool statue of Mai Shiranui from the King of Fighters series, this came out mid 2007 I think. It's quiet big so I had to move a few of my other statues around as I'm running out of room.

Things are starting to fall into place, SCA is basically done now, just adding more sound. I was going to have all new music, I've already done half of the project with it, but as I listen to it more, it's not much of an improvement, it certainly sounds different, but the old track felt more suited for this project in the end.

Should be some artwork update soon... it's tough since I'm spending a lot of my free time to getting various Space Chronicles stuff done before end of March, plus I was pretty sick last week :P

Space Chronicles Animated update


Well, all the clean up for Space Chronicles Animated project is done, all 38 scenes, only two scenes without shadow level. Right now I'm finishing the rest of the backgrounds, adding more sound fx and tweaking a few scenes. Also note that Captain Eva hair is creamy yellow now, this version will be the last of her in heavy yellow. Screenshot is from one of the new finished scenes.

Collectibles Update!: Witchblade and Optimus


I don't watch (or read) a lot of anime, but I really like Gonzo version of Top Cow's Witchblade, I used to collect the comic book series long ago. The statue itself is great, I may get the rest of the cast... if I can find them.



I don't think a lot of people know about this light beamer, it's suppose to be a touchlight for kids (I guess.. says on the box) but the model is quiet nice, far better then the helmet size Optimus, and his eyes lights up for 3mins. It's not very big either so you can put it on your work station.

Did this Character design for PEFA (Personalised Email For All) last month. On this site you can personalised your email to (almost) whatever you want, check it out for more details.

A mixture of quick concept ideas that were lying around when I was tidying up my room, only a couple were done last year.



Original 1983 Don Bluth Dragon's Lair poster, love this game and mostly the animation style and characters. Move over Jessica Rabbit! :P


And finally, Girls of Chiodo figures, these came out in 1998, I did not know about them until now. Joe Chioho is one of my favorite comic book artist.

Collectibles Update!: Shanna The She-Devil bust
15 January 2008


This one arrived in the morning, I have one more statue to go :P Here's Shanna The She-Devil! I collected Frank Cho's (legendary comic book artist) version of her back in 2003, she's basically like Red Sonja, except she picks her fights with dinosaurs like Raptors and T-Rex, instead of barbarians.

Collectibles Update!: Holly Starlite maquette
14 January 2008


I've been trying to get this maquette for sometime now, it's surprisingly well painted, especially the face. It's quiet an old maquette from 2002 but still very cool. I know nothing about this character, it's an original character statue.

Collectibles Update!: The Art of Mass Effect
21 December 2007
The Mass Effect concept artbook arrived this morning, I've been waiting awhile now for this. I love the game and it's art direction (I love anything by Bioware :), unfortunately my Xbox 360 isn't working, so I haven't played this game since. The book covers what you'll expect from an artbook, character concepts, vehicles, enivroments etc, there is a spoiler page for Saren. It just came out in NZ so you can still pick it up :)
