BEN 10: DNA Lab Hybrids Sets 7-9.....




Here are some of the designs I did for the Bandai.com online game, BEN 10- DNA Lab. I started designing these Hybrids last year and they have been unveiled in the game as each successive toy set game out. I did somewhere in the neighbor hood of 80 hybrids.

As they have been out for a respectable time now and posted and reposted on fansites hither and yon, I figure that I can now display them in my portfolio without fear of leaking sensitive info. Many of you have seen these over at ~Akamu1228's gallery and similar fan postings.

Design work for TMNT (2007) - The Jersey Devil...


Here one of the model sheets I did for the designing of the Jersey Devil for TMNT (2007) along with screen caps of the final model used in the film and modeled by the talented folk at Imagi. I had a lot of fun designing characters and props on that production with my friends Jeff Matsuda and Jose Lopez. As a fan of the original Turtle comics as a kid in the 80's, it was a great experience, and in all truth a childhood dream come true.

Another brief jaunt into fan ar6t dorkiness....

I was chatting with my co-workers over here on the new upcoming "Spectacular Spider-Man" cartoon, and we were speculating on other potential directions for the art from the comicbook "Spider-Man India". Here is my rough scribble of what I would have done given a chance.

Well, an amusing lunch time diversion, anyway...
