Hey folks,

Not a whole lot this week. Been really wrapped for time. Here is a recent fashion illustration just completed.

Also, I will be at the recruiting tables at the CTN-X Animation Expo in Burbank this coming weekend. It's going to be the San Diego Con of the Animation world, and it's awesome to be able to make part of it happen. So come on by to say hello!!

Cheers,

Hey there folks, been quite busy as of late. Alas, I will still try and maintain my weekly updates to keep everyone up to date on my whereabouts.


Luckily, I have been recently fortunate enough to be able to attend the CTN-X in November 20th-22nd. I'm very excited to be apart of the event, so if you have plans of going, stop by the recruiting tables to say hello!



Also, I was invited by the talented and genius Wesley Eggebrecht to be apart of a blog he has started involving many artists. It's called Numen Square, and has tons of wonderful work that is upload every week. So take a look!!

These are some of the set designs for my short film characters, yet I wish to explore them a little further. These past few weeks have been trying to think as these characters would and truly understand who they are. Playing creator is much more difficult than imagined.

Also, here is a mustang promotional piece that was done a few months back to make up for last week.

Take care,

Here's a piece I just recently finished for a Mexican themed show. It was fun doing this one all in gouche, since it's just so vibrant.

Hope you all enjoy!

Hello Everyone, here is a recent visual development piece that has been done for the current short film I've been busy boarding and developing the story for. Paul Felix's work done for Tarzan has been a huge influence on this piece.

As always, crits, suggestions, ideas and comments are always welcome.

Cheers,

Ahoy ahoy! There be an update this week! I'm feeling quite pleased that I'm beginning to nurture this blog and nourish it with plenty of imagery. Here are three of about 18 or so story beats that are being developed at the moment. This is the inciting moment of Lily entering the antique shop where Reese keeps himself busy with inventing. The third is a key moment with Lily receiving a gift in return for her own. A token of love returned.



Here is an exploratory painting in progress of a possible clerk character that assists in packaging at Lily's bakery.


Lastly, here is another visual development piece that is underway. Paul Felix and his uncanny skill to pencil things out at an unbelievable quality. Some day I hope to join him in the trenches and create spectacular work together.

That would be awesome.

Until next time, stay cool.

It's been a bit dusty around here, and once again I apologize. I should promise not to make promises from now on to update regularly. Reverse psychology, ya know?

Anyway, this is not finished/polished work, and soon there will be. There are a few editorial illustrations that I have slowly been collecting, so those may possibly be featured soon. Alas, these are the developments of my thesis characters, Lily, the pastry chef; and our adolescent inventor who is now newly named, Reese. I have many illustration ideas that I've been developing between these two, along with the fanciful 1930's/Steam-punk/Victorian era that they live in. I'm thinking of possibly making them live on this island that has one large mountain that has the entire city carved into it like the Village of Eze. Although, the story is under heavy construction, since it's being remade and torn down day after day. They aren't kidding when they say story is everything!

Speaking of which, I had the pleasure of watching The Curious Case of Benjamin Button recently and was completely blown away by the cinematography and heart-touching story. Usually I don't like to advertise, but this certainly is worth the boasting. At least for those who have not or are unsure of seeing it.

Anyway, please give me feedback on the characters. Personally I don't know what to think if Lily should have a braid or a pony tail. What do you guys think??

Until next time,

-H
