My latest illustration project. Collaborating with Oneofus (Sinitus Tempo & Kitty Wong) Greatest musical combination I have heard in a long long time. Finally something that is positive to the soul. This style I just developed and hope to do more of in the future on a larger scale. Enjoy! (Go to RF3RD.com for larger size)

Happy Halloween!

2011-10-30T07:43:00.000-07:00

Just discovered my screen setting was terribly bright, thus my illustrations are much darker than I thought.

Lack of interaction.

2011-08-29T22:40:00.000-07:00

Currently I am working with The Regiment with their website, ablum art and other art related things. It is truly a blessing that they found my work online and added me to the team. I have been rather busy with projects (check out the site) which explains my absence here on the blog. I am thinking about tumblr as well. I've had an account for a year or so and never did anything with it. I am happy that a lot of illustration projects are coming in with the graphic design stuff. It sucks not working directly what you went to school for but I love everything that deals with art.

I have decided that it is time for my comics to be released. Not sure where or how I will post these. I may have to make another button for my portfolio page. I am thinking about posting them here and on tumblr. I have my stories already but I need to fine tune... Until then I will just try to post random musings here.

Zombie Project and RF3RD 1.5

2011-07-04T23:12:00.000-07:00

:D Yay! Site has an updated look. I still have connection problems and thanks to a certain storm I had power problems. x_x 'sigh' Zombie project is looking great, however, the file size is friggin 600MB!!!! (I want to print it large so I needed high res.) The only thing left is to add color. So merging of layers will be done to cut down on the size. I really enjoyed working with this old pencil drawing. It was long over due.

Check out the latest patch to RF3RD.com!! Meanwhile, I will have the zombie project completed within the next day or so!

Bye for now!

Zombie Project and RF3RD Update coming soon.

2011-06-22T14:08:00.000-07:00

I feel like I am working on a major video game project with all the patches I am applying to my site. Heheh. Zombie Project is still in production and RF3RD.com is receiving some updates.

Due to some issues with my connection for the last 2.5 weeks I haven't been able to upload files for music, photography, and aerosol art. There has been a lot traditional illustrations that I have been working on that I will post up here or possibly on the site. I haven't decided yet...

Once I get all these interviews, meetings and personal works out of the way I will be back on the digital works. Bye for now!

RF3RD 1.5 Coming soon!

Project Zombie

2011-06-08T21:56:00.000-07:00

Project Zombie starts today!

Portfolio Links

2011-06-05T23:32:00.000-07:00

Well, it has been quite a while since I updated. I just added a few images to the portfolio on the main site. I am a bit on the tired side as I have been busy with freelance projects and trying to move. I have a lot of photography and music I need to edit and put up on display. I apologize to everyone who have been waiting so patiently. There are so many things that need to be done that I get scattered and thinned out. Hopefully I should have things done soon. Random projects do pop up, so please be patient just a bit longer. :) Thanks!

My observation.

2011-05-11T13:42:00.000-07:00

It has come to my attention that a lot of my illustration pieces remain in my sketchbook and drawing pads. I do apologize to everyone for the lame illustration section on my site. I believe that over the course of me being where I live I have lost the fire that I once had to illustrate. I feel more so inclined to "paint" my illustrations with a looser style as opposed to the tight drawings. Could this be a sign of laziness because of my environment? I think yes. Without my creative group of friends around me, my inspiration has really fallen. My imagination remains, but it is capped by some sort of lid that needs certain emotions to twist off the lid. If I am going to fight this obstacle I will need my army of friends to back me up. Searching the web for inspiration runs dry because there isn't a feeling of connection. I think it is due to me sitting in my chair in my room. I think another trip to the DIA is necessary.

To Be Continued....

May 1st Contests!

2011-04-18T16:24:00.000-07:00

You will see the designs soon!

What's left?

2011-04-06T22:31:00.000-07:00

Mail form is still bugging out. I may have to remove it from the site.
***Fixing galleries tonight.

The only galleries that will still lead to here are...
Sound (until tomorrow)
Aerosol Art (When the weather finally decides to be Spring I will have some stuff for everyone.)
Motion
and Photography.

Finally up!!!

2011-03-17T01:16:00.000-07:00

RF3RD.com is finally up and running!

What's left to be done:

Fix the audio button...stopped working for some reason

File and organize each gallery

Change background

Continue to look for bugs

Blog changes:

I need to change the color of my blog to a more cooler gray. This warm gray was my original choice but I deviated from that.

I need to set up my account on Soundcloud and also link my deviantart and pixiv pages to my site. Just small things but I am glad the big parts are done!!

Good morning...but good night for me. I am going to bed.

Last Week

2011-03-16T13:20:00.000-07:00

Finally, the last week of waiting. My portfolio page will be in construction. I have a lot of files to find and resize. So, the pages in progress will lead back to here or maybe just directly to the portfolio.

Happy Day.

PS Site will be up tonight/ tomorrow morning. (Depends on your location.)

... I need ice cream

2011-03-01T21:52:00.000-08:00

Tech support responds to my plea of help with an email that has a lot of text making the task seem impossible for an non scripter such as myself, only to say they can do it for a fee. At this point I have decided to go with plan B. Temporarily I will use the same gallery that is here until I redo all these XML files. Too bad they don't use the same coding. -sigh-

In other news...for about a month I have adopted an imaginary cat, Kitakun. He is gray and white with a red scarf. If you see him...just hand him a cookie or he will follow you and take your markers. I cannot reveal where he learned such a skill...ehem... Just hand over your cookies. No raisins!

Ah, the joys of tech support.

2011-02-25T10:47:00.000-08:00

Tech support is on the scene and really helping me out with my scripting issue. Apparently I have to modify the script in more than one area. I had a small fear that I would have to abandon my gallery and go for something else. Learning something new in this field is like training with a new character for a fighting game. Every character has a different way they win a match; from zoning, rush downs, to turtling. You have to deal with different frame rates, combos, counter picks, etc. The process can be frustrating at first, but as you practice more, it becomes easier.

Action Script can kiss my...

2011-02-23T08:07:00.001-08:00

So, Technical Support finally got back to me about my gallery issue. (Thanks for holding me up!) From the sound of things, I may have to scrap my gallery idea. As soon as I post this site up I will be working on an HTML one. This issue with flash is a pain. I have to jump through too many hoops to get certain things to work. It's very frustrating and just ruins the mood of things.

So, temporarily I will have to link my portfolio section to the portfolio here. I hear that trying to put simple viewer within my program is another hassle. I wont give up, but I am tired. What happened to good old Geocities? Hahahaha!

About time!

2011-02-14T20:34:00.001-08:00

Hello fellow viewers.

The time has come where I am in the final stages of completion. I just have to proof read, and make sure everything is smooth. At the same time I have some freelance and personal projects to finish. Launch Wednesday?!

It is a wonderful feeling to finally complete my site.

So, keep a look out for the final product.

Sigh...

2011-02-07T16:55:00.001-08:00

Maybe I should just put my site out there... I just want everything to be perfect.

I'm tired of snow...

Redirect Until Further Notice

2010-12-12T22:21:00.000-08:00

Redirecting my domain name here. Bloody site is giving me a little trouble, but all should be fixed in the next coming weeks. I will finish before my bday, however, I may just launch it on my bday or new years =D.

Stay 'tooned'

Until then, I will just keep updating the gallery. I just recieved the "plus" version of my gallery so I can do much more customizing and special cool stuff. mmm! Happy day!

Update etadpU

2010-11-18T17:51:00.000-08:00

A lot of projects have been coming my way, which means more gold coins in my pocket. (Or gold rings if you are a hedgehog fan. I had the best of both worlds.)

So my actual site development has taken a small monthly break. I promise by next week I will be up and running. Hopefully I can finish this MVC3 contest soon and get straight to working on the site. I have some story boards to finish up too...sigh... (Not complaining.)

I've been painting a lot so I should post some of that work...actually... I take that back. I think some works of art should be saved for when ppl see you or actually meet you in person. So, if you want to see what's in my sketch book, you have to meet me in person. That's not to say that I wont post a few things from it on the site. I just think one should save some of their work for real eyes to see. -insert monster hunter shrug-

My eyes hurt and you've been neglected

2010-09-21T12:29:00.000-07:00

Poor poor blog

Lonely blog

2010-08-30T13:31:00.000-07:00

Oh bloggy blog... you are rarely updated despite the fact that artwork is done everyday... Please don't be mad at me.

websites are a bit more complicated than I thought...

Takumi project status...

2010-06-17T20:42:00.000-07:00

Soooo... It was really nasty out over the weekend, and I could not bear to be out in it. Then I have this problem with sap. (I know I can photoshop it out...) This tree is either obsessed with car or has bodily tree fluid problems. I have to remove the sap then get a car wash and get some protection on my Takumi. This shall be done very soon like tomorrow. I will have a talk with that tree as well.

The Takumi project.

2010-06-09T19:40:00.000-07:00

My car, "Takumi," has not received the tender love that an owner should give to their car. I hate that I just put gas in it and drive it to work and where ever I want to go. I just feed it the same old gas and we go to the same old places every week. (Same schedule.) I may have to get new brakes soon...*sigh* So I have decided to do a small project that features "Takumi." Something cool that shows my appreciation for my vehicle. I know what it's like not to have a vehicle and depend on people to drive you where you need to go. So thank God I ran into "Takumi." I need to give my car a little flair... I would love to turn my FR into a drift machine and "kit" it out buuut that would take a lot of time, (and money.) I also think that doing that is similar to buying a horse in a city with no where to gallop. I have a few projects that I need to finish then it is "Takumi's" time.

Bye for now...

PS. I think there was a warning on television about a small zombie outbreak? Well...it's true. Military Police just handled 3 near my home about 2 hours ago. Please be careful everyone.

French fries are dead potatoes

2010-05-24T18:57:00.000-07:00

So, the development of my site is coming along nicely. I am redoing my business cards and portfolio as well. (My printed form of portfolio.) It seems that the printed form of portfolios are becoming obsolete, and taking your laptop around to show people your work is the more "hip?" thing to do. There have been countless times where I would have my printed portfolio and my laptop with me and the client would prefer the laptop... hmm....

Oh well...Portfolio will receive a few additions later on once it cools down in my room and I can bear the heat to sit and code those images in. Bleh...just "stay tooned."

Where have I been?

2010-03-07T19:03:00.000-08:00

My mother board died in January...It was revived with a phoenix down about a month and a week or so later. I missed designing and a making beats. (I was drawing on sheets of random paper and in my black illustration book during the long wait.)

My whole drive was wiped clean. Lucky for me I backed up my files for the programs, so it wasn't that much a loss.

I will keep you all updated!

Status

2010-01-14T22:45:00.000-08:00

A lot of freelance projects that I have yet to post. Will be doing that soon along with a redo of the site. Sunday will be the day of working on site and organizing stuff. Until then...I am studying Japanese and sketching figures. Working on storyboard for a biweekly animated short for Monster Hunter... I am not an animator, so this project will be a challenge.

Stay "tooned"

Busy busy busy!

2009-12-15T17:20:00.000-08:00

I am working on some projects and also fixing up my site and portfolio. Stay tuned!!!

Status update.

2009-08-10T20:06:00.000-07:00

Still working on what I want to do as far as layout, and my friend and I are still working on colors and lettering for the mural project.

In the mean time check out portfolio. There has been an update with the delta dawn contest entries I did. Enjoy!

Turtlist Media

2009-07-15T21:54:00.000-07:00

I am going to work on some mascot designs for Turtlist Media (google search.) Really cool people, so stay posted!

PS Huge murals will be posted soon so prepare for site redesign.

Work I do

2009-06-01T23:49:00.001-07:00

If you want to know what I actually do as far as work check out my "Work I Do" page (You may enjoy it.) For recent artwork check out my portfolio. For my Resume and programs i know...well...click...resume. (insert laughing here.) It took me about 12 hrs to do all this editing and what not to this blog. Hope you enjoy!

Peace everyone

Changes being made!

2009-06-01T23:11:00.000-07:00

So, now that the portfolio link is working I suggest going there. It does take a second to load but no worries it should be fine. I will separate and group everything later.

Right now it goes T-Shirts > Logos > Vector Art >Business Cards > CD Inserts > Posters > Illustrations > Sketches

I will keep people updated. Once I separate things I will have a button for each category.

Peace for now.

2009-04-13T10:34:00.000-07:00

I have a review for this game and everything. NOT A REAL GAME. Just something with my friends and I. Hardcore fighting game on the level of Guilty Gear. (Funny...Blazeblue has a character that uses a puppet and I didn't even know it...Two of my characters are "puppet" users....Not that they stole my idea and vice versa...but the fact that that idea was shared by someone...cool)

When I post PS3 version i will have description and all that stuff...maybe...I dont want to give out any ideas.

redo time!

2009-01-14T19:01:00.000-08:00

A long time ago i did these two ads and now I have decided to redo them completely. The Japanese ad I will change the placement of time and ad some more stuff (Since my vocabulary has increase slightly haha.) The magic pens I just throwing in a pit and remaking it from the bottom up. These are the olds...new ones coming in about a week or so.

unfinished game of chess

2008-11-05T21:22:00.001-08:00

I am not sure if I am going to finish this. It was really just a warm up digital painting to get me back in the mood. There was another guy I was going to put sitting to the left. (Our left) There was a photo reference to this one as well. Maybe I will come back and finish this.
