Just put together a new Grooveshark theme - Idyllica.  Base in Illustrator, then into Photoshop for post and glows.  Will be releasing my template for theme design soon….stay tuned!

New site mockup, lettermark for Tetsumoto oils + a new flash interface (Cirrus) under development. You’ll need to click on the interface to see the interactivity though :]

Photoshop to hand code. 5-6 hours for intial design and template-friendly code, 40 mins to an hour to generate every new version thereafter. Cute little php script automatically sets the “good through” date to current date. Fun stuff :]

A whisper from the limbic system….

Widescreen wallpaper format - makes a great desktop.

Shot inspired by Hol Baumann’s Human -  highly recommended.

Experiments with layered displacement maps + hand painted surface tension for fluids in modo. 1080p HD resolution to test out media extension on HDTV.  Shiny :]   Makes me want to listen to Philip Glass for some reason… <_<

Been super busy. Doing a lot of video work lately. Here’s some finished projects from some videos I’ve been doing for a tutorial site:

Age Progressing a model:



Making an iPhone with vectors and layer style techniques:





The ever popular planet tutorial:





And a starfield + freestyle 20 min concept sketch:

’till next time :]

I remember just a few years ago when it would take hours to render a photoreal project like this in Maya/MR.  Both of these renders were in the neighborhood of 30 secs.  Good stuff.
