Heat wave!

This week in the northwest, there was a heat wave which brought temperature of 100+ degree (which never happen before in Seattle!). Today, it was a little more tolerable. Can't wait to get some rain.... oh man, I can't believe I just said that.

Death Race

I was doodling when I was watching Death Race starring Jason Statham and Joan Allen. I was also trying to do a comic style page all on the computer. The lines are looser but the plus side is no scanning... penciling and inking phase are combined.

Anyway, if there's a Death Race comic, I think it'll be good to have the comic take place right before the movie starts so you can see how the characters interact before Statham's character shows up.

Moon Landing

Yesterday was the 40th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing. How freakin' cool is that?

V.I.N.CENT

Remember "Black Hole" from Disney in 1979? I remember thinking the black hole look so real. The story was really dark for Disney. I would not recommend letting really small kids watch this flick. And VINCENT (Vital Information Necessary CENTralized)... he's pretty cool for a floating robot. He's the real hero of the film!

The idea to this pic came up when I found out they are doing a vinyl toy of Vincent. It just brought back the memory of watching that film. If anyone going to SDCC, would you mind buying one for me? ;)

Stillsuit

I can’t top the movie version of the Stillsuits… so my take is pretty similar except to incorporate the spiral design. The sandworms is such an important focus to the Freman, I think they would mimic the sandworm look. The cloak is also tie in a spiral for that “desert fashion” look. The cloak could also be use to camouflage in the sand or even be made into an emergency one man tent to weather out a sand storm. The Maker Hook, is what the Fremen use to pry open a section of the sandworms’ ring so they could ride the worm.

Dune... Arrakis...

...desert planet. A Fremen watches as couple of sandworms cruising in the deep desert.

Crysknife

Crysknife is the scared weapon of the Fremen, made from the tooth of a dead sandworm. This is their primary weapon since lasguns and shields cause vibrations, which attracts the worms.

Paul Atreides

This is Paul Atreides from Dune. The Fremen call him "Muad'Did" by this point and his eyes changed to blue by the spice melange. If you understand all that... congrats, you're a scifi nerd.

Sandworm 2

Another take of the sandworm from Dune. I picture them to be more flexible and be able to compress their body when it open their mouths.
