Ka-pow!

Santa Prawn

Santa Prawn is here to give all the good kids a can of cat food! Happy holidays everyone!

Finally watched District 9. Wow, very cool flick! It was not what I expected.

Dune: Bene Gesserit

Here's my version of the Bene Gesserit, the Reverend Mother, with the "box" and her gom jabbar. I want her robe to be gothic looking with straight lines and a headdress that resemble a halo when she tilt her head up. Whether by design or sublminal... there's visual link to the sandworm spiral design. I want to incorporate that spiral idea into the major players in Dune to show how important the sandworms are in the dune universe.

Say hello to my little friend!

Twinkie zombie

I did this for a tribute show/surprise party for Karin. This is a reference to a painting and plush she did about the death of a twinkie. I raised him from the dead so he can get his revenge on the one that took a bite out of him. ;)

RROOOOOOARR!!

Illustration Friday: Hatch

This is what pop in my mind when I saw the word "hatch". This deep sea diver probably not going to make it but if the monster don't have a can opener.... the diver might have a chance. ;)

Hot chocolate

Clear sky but a little chilly in Seattle right now. Would it snow soon? Only time will tell.

Snow ball fight!

Santa takes snowball fight very seriously. ;)

Illustration Friday: Entangled

I'm sure I'm not the first guy that come up with this for "entangled"... but it is my version of it anyway.

*Ha! I scroll through the thumbs at IF and there are about 12 different cute animals wrapped in xmas lights! :)

Kamen Rider

Kamen Rider... old Japanese live action show.

Illustration Friday: Music

Peter, Paul, and Mary- Just a few days ago, I found out Mary Travers passed away in Sept. It really bummed me out. I remember listening to "Leaving on a Jet Plane" a million times when I was a kid. Even tho she passed, the music will live on.

Robocop

Robot + Cop = AWESOME!
"Dead or alive, you're coming with me!"

Illustration Friday: Unbalanced

This platypus is not playing with a full deck. You can say he's little unbalanced that way... but he sure looks happy.

Dune: Arrakeen

Concept for the capital city on Arrakis... Arrakeen. Since this is a major city on the planet, it should be functional in the environment. So I put a giant umbrella type of covering on the palace tower. A shade that big would lower the temperature, make walking the streets more comfortable.

Waiting for the bus

Time flies when you're having fun.

Pig Face Pete

I was thinking of a short story and this character comes up. Pete is a circus freak with a pig snout and hooves for hands. Probably wouldn't go any further then this but who knows.

Illustration Friday: Skinny

Michael Jackson in Thriller. Hey, he's skinny and a zombie..... two birds with one stone. Happy Halloween everyone!

CGHUB

A while back, I posted my Dune concept art over at CGHUB and I just found out my Baron Harkonnen pic got picked to be in their "Editor picks archive"! Yay! XD

Illustration Friday: Fast

A dragon flying fast across the mountians. Probably can't breath fire very well tho with the low oxygen at that attitude. ;)

Zombie Sheriff

A while back, I thought I had an original idea about doing a book on Zombie Cowboys.... nope, that idea is not new and I've seen other artists using it. Well, maybe the genre is not unique but a specific story could be.

Pumpkin Head

Halloween is almost here! Oh boy!

Illustration Friday: Frozen

Bad idea... sure. Would that stop people from trying it? Never. ;)

Ultraman mask

Living in Hong Kong, there was no Halloween. But they do sell masks of Japanese superhero shows... and my fav is the Ultraman mask. It was cheaply made and pretty sure the silver paint was not too safe.... I still like wearing it and pretend to fight giant monsters!

Loch Ness Monster

Team Juggernauts

For Jon, Team Juggernauts,..... and all the men and women of the armed forces.... stay safe.

ROM the Space Knight

Rom the space knight was sold in 1979. One of the first electronic toys at the time. It's pretty primitive compare to current toys. Eyes, body, and gun lights up with some sounds. I never got to play with one when I was a kid.... only read some of the comics!

Monster Crab

I went crabbing at Tokeland for the first time. Spent about 4 hours in the sun, pulling crab pots every 20 minutes. Guess how many crabs I caught? ONE! It's more like half a crab actually because it was missing a claw and 3 legs. You win some, you lose some.

Sketch

Saw her yesterday during lunch.... thought the clothing and colors was good for a stylize sketch. So there you go.

Another sketch of John.

Kites

Couple of days ago, I went to the Kite Festival in Long Beach, WA. It was foggy, chilly, and... windy, which is great for flying kites! Heading toward the front entrance to the beach, the sky was litter with kites of all shapes and sizes. Very cool to see!

John D.

Study of the main character for a 4 page comic. Inspiration from seeing a homeless guy walking in the field, next to the freeway.

Snake Eyes

Okay, I saw the new G.I. Joe movie and..... I like it.

WA Renaissance Fantasy Faire

I went to my first renaissance faire today. It's in Buckley which is about 50 minutes south of Bellevue. It was pretty cool experience. There are lot of merchants selling everything from jewelry to swords. For food, I recommend the turkey drumstick, root beer you can get in a blue bottle, and the shave ice cone.

There are also 3 different stages showing plays, jugglers, and magic acts.

There were lots of people dressed up. Anything close to renaissance is fair game so I saw barbarians, pirates (yes, there's a Jack Sparrow), and elfs. One guy even dressed up as Doctor Who (David Tennant version) which is a time lord so he could've show up in that time period. ;)

Academia della Spada- These guys demo how people fight with swords. After watching for about 5 minutes, I learned the key to dueling... it's "geometry". What does that mean?.... well guess you have to go there to find out.

Cavallo Equestrian Arts- The coolest act is the horse riding show. This group did a lot of tricks on horse back. One guy juggled with knives while standing on the hores. Anyone one did a back flip from one horse to another.

The fair is still going on for one more weekend so if you're interested... check out:

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.
