This is "Zala the Scout" from our Playstastion 3 launch title "Untold Legends Dark Kingdom".


A fun Hack and Slash button mashing Adventure RPG from 2006. I animated this with the mighty Aaron Carlson in only 9 days !!. Cloth sim effects were done by the awesome Andi Smithers. She was a lot of fun to do, and eventually won an award as "Best New Female Game Character by Play Magazine 2006 and was featured on the cover of the "Girls of Gaming"


issue of CGW magazine. She rocks and hates to wait for dinner.

Quick Value Sketches from Life (partial nudity)

At Sony, We artists are fortunate to have Life Drawing sessions available after work on occasional Wednesdays. They are hosted by the famous "Jaqueline" from the "Ubiquitis Bee Studios" in Downtown San Diego, which also hosts many other drawing and painting workshops.

We get a wide variety of models and techniques to explore, and Jaqueline comes around and helps us with our observation and technique. Plus, it's great to just sit down, and do some real art with my friends at work. These are very quick 2 minute and 5 minute value sketches in watercolor pencil with an emphasis on light and shadow. (as always, click on images to enlarge)

Summer 2008 Family Scrapbook / Back to School!

Hey Friends!! That's right, It's back to school time here in beautiful Poway!!
Sorry It's been so long since I posted last. We are in our crunch time at work and that keeps me from sharing as much as I would like. It's all good as our new project, Free Realms, will be coming out early 2009!! I can't wait to show the fruits of our labor soon and best of all it's gonna be free!! Here's a scrapbook of some of our family fun this summer. We did the big "stay-cation" and enjoyed all that Socal has to offer from theme parks and the ocean, to hiking and Baseball. All in all a great summer!! (click on pics to enlarge)
