patreon - wave of the future!

I've discovered a new thing to possibly help us artists fund ourselves in what we love to do. Etsy and Kickstarter are great things, but Patreon promises to help one have a fairly steady income while you're working on your project. Like Kickstarter, you can put long-term goals and rewards per person.

I've created one for HoraTora Studios. Please check it out!

The THING game goes LIVE on 11/28/13!

Hello! I've been working on the Thing game for my friend Richard on the encounter backgrounds and some of the ending images.

I also found out I'm an NPC in the game. I'm apparently really badass.


If you have trouble viewing it, here is the link.

It's free to play.

Here is his ModDB.

Here is his blog. 

Geeksmith for Project Icarus

So, Kenny (Head Designer) and I (Character Concept Artist) have been interviewed by Michael Serrata and Phil Impaglia at Geeksmith Productions in regards to our game!

Listen and enjoy!

New Frontiers....and All Those Other Stuffs...

Hello! Things go well on the work front. I am well pleased at how things are going.

First hand, I've been enjoying things in spriteish form. (is that a word? Oh well.) I've enlarged them a bit for easier "seeing".

2D Spirte Assets

Nice logo work and background for a mobile game called "CyberCity". I was blown away and happy how it turned out.

Moving Forward:

I'm currently accepting queries for projects as my brain has been growing at a rampant rate. It needs brain food to feed it.

It desires projects.

It desires lovely things and inspiration.

Feel free to reach me through any medium and I'll get back to you asap.

If all else fails, email me at:

Projektu

Hello.

Still working on a thing of various things. I'm currently involved with a few projects here of which I intend to see to completion.

Richard here has been working on his project - The Thing 2 based off of the "prequel/sequel" movie in 2011. He's utilizing RPGMaker and I'm doing the backgrounds for him.

The first movie just scared the bejeezus out of me as it's worse than zombies. Rather than succumbing to waves of undead due to their consumption of you or a bite, this thing invades YOU on a cellular level. Every fibre of your being that you knew and cherished and being systematically ERASED and replaced with a mere copy of you that is ravenous and invasive reminds me of the ultimate form of being a parasite. Damn, it's worse that the Real Housewives and their ilk infecting and redefining "reality TV"!

This my friend, is only a TEST.

Sakura Style

I love skating. Skating is the fun. :P

I've always wanted to design a skate deck.

I always wanted to do something with sakura blossoms...

I have re-skinned!

I'm still doing stuffs and art stuffs but not been updating them daily.

I'm so bad.

Here's some RockaSkin stuff to make you happy. Please rate!


Killing Lon(e)liness

PAIN

My sister said that she's going to punch people that don't give me the highest rating.

Sisters are so cute. Haha.

Gimme Some Skin...

Well, things have been developing at new and fast rates.

Right now, Rockaskin is retailing my Iphone and Blackberry Curve Skins for some cash and well, feel free to look for it. Right now the Curve is available, but it is definitely designed as well for the Iphone. Do please let them know you'd like it, and in which phone. The site is still in beta, so they might have to tweak a few things.

Penny Experiment

I love helping people. I'm selling my art towards the webmaster's goal in purchasing 1 million USD worth of food for food banks. 100% of the total price of the artwork will be donated to this cause.

Hope you had  Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Holidays, and a wonderful New Year. This year will be better than the last.

Nerds Rejoice.

For I stood 10 feet away from David Tennant on the set of the pilot of his new show, "Rex Is Not My Lawyer". It was very cold.

He asked me to run away with him. ****

****Not really. I was only background. :P

Christmas keeps a'coming in...

I will be showing two new pieces in a show called "Oh Mama" in the HABLA Underground Gallery during the Quarterly LA Art Walks. What I wanted with "Cow Bride" was to take a much better look at the cow in terms of marriages. I went on the Hindu and other culture's perspective of how it is valued in giving birth/fertility, providing milk, cheese, yogurt, and meat, to the gentleness and the hope of a new marriage. I didn't want to go out of my way to make the stereotypical woman=cattle=slavery type situation, but to make it a more sacred piece of loving an nurturing - of which we want to associate motherhood and marriage with.

Also, I've been filming in a movie called "Bus Stop Conspiracy". It's been the first day, but it's been a fun day. Whee.

New things and updates and wow promo!

Hello!

First of all, I'd love to state that my client, Olive Jane is having a get-together and she's having a sale on her line! I invite you to come if you can. If you somehow can't make it as wild boars take over your house, then feel free to give her a call and get the clothes! She'd be happy to have you!



But, there is NO reason why you should not come. There are cupcakes.

MmmmMMmmmm... delishus cupcakes....

You know you want to.

(**Note: Blogger is being dumb and cutting off the graphic invite. Here is the direct link so that you can print it for your information or just to hold this graphic in your hot little hand.)

Here's her website and Facebook, so you can let her know to attend. If you somehow don't have a Facebook, then get one or email her: info@olivejane.net

Another update is that the SON - Kingdom Album is DONE!

Here is a low-res version of the image. The printable image will be soon available to purchase.
(Plus the load time would have increased exponentially if I posted the hi-res one on the blog.)



Click on the image to get the full layout, as Blogger seems to cut off images.

These images are also available in my portfolio website. They are under my Graphic Design aspect of my site in the Resume page.

Hooray!

Two of my designs are on sale on the List Caddy website. Feel free to check them out!

It's something nice to have something tangible in your hands. :)

It occurs to me that I need to put in a projects label.
