Mau and Cragon is ready to take on the world!

I would like to present to you my first fully finished toys!! I finally painted Cragon and Mau. I used acrylic paints since they dry smoothly and the colors are wonderful! I went outside and ventured around taking pictures of them. I love how the outdoor brightens their colors. i think they may love the flowers. get ready for the adventure of Mau and cragon!

here's them inside with the gang:




still inside posing with my circular scent:



mau just loves my keyboard!

one's wish

while i was drawing some characters... i stumbled upon this:




This is a thesis animation work done by a student. i like that it's simple and it has substance too. you just have to see it made think about how people wish for one thing they want that can't be possible. hmm....

anyways school is just a bit overwhelming now but i just keep on trucking. mainly i'm getting tired of doing this vacuum project i just want it to be done and that i can move on to other things like developing my characters and making tshirt designs sigh...

Office Space

whew... that took like a whole day to finish this!
This is for my anthropometry class. Well i almost went too anal on the calculations and measurement thanx to my engineering background blargh!! so i had to stop myself and focus on the fun side. exploring my creativity any my love of vibrant colors and characters!! i notice that in most of my layouts, design, and color choices are always white and some few bold colors O_O what has industrial design do to my head??? i used to love chaos like in my old art work and the messiness! oh well...

is mau back? and friends?


yay mau is back. well from the dead and using an oven not a microwave oven 0_O.... well i haven't really glue him together and painted him yet. i got the hang of sculptey and even made cragon too in the process. I will paint them whenever i get a smaller brush and playing with different glazes possibly. but yes my characters are slowly coming to live and hopefully not get burnt or broken in the process.


Well cragon was easier to make except his claws blargh!!


Besides molding these critters... niko's brother came into my dream one night and he too like niko can see other people's imaginary friends and even imaginary beings that people ignore daily. but... poor ian, he's been tormented with seeing these creatures and even the top hat buddy that still clings to him... mm... i wonder what niko is giving him? another friend?
