<div style="color: #cc0000; text-align: center;"><span style="color: black;">This has been a tough year, as I'm sure you all can relate! The one greatest blessing was the arrival of my baby girl in January! However, since pregnancy and even now many months later I have been dealing with de quervain's syndrome, a painful inflammation of the thumb tendons down to the inner wrist. This has limited my pottery work and art significantly and I'm reluctant to seek treatment in these crazy pandemic times. Even then, some of the events I planned to attend have gone online! Check them out below. I will update with a second link to an online shop, and then will launch said shop permanently in 2021! Take care of yourselves everyone!</span><br /></div><div style="color: #cc0000; text-align: center;"><br />

<b>HIS CHAMBER</b><br />
Raku-fired Ceramic artwork created for <a href="http://erickoh.com/" target="_blank">Erick Oh</a>, for his solo <a href="http://erickoh.com/film/#/hischamber/" target="_blank">HIS CHAMBER</a> exhibition at the <a href="https://www.loislambertgallery.com/#a=0&at=0&mi=2&pt=1&pi=10000&s=1&p=24" target="_blank">Lois Lambert Gallery </a>in Los Angeles. The figures were sculpted in sculpey first according to Erick's specifications, cast in plaster, then slip cast to create two identical figures. From there, the base elements and individual elements unique to each figure were hand sculpted or thrown then detailed further. The heart dangles on jewelry wire. Erick carved the fisherman's pole from walnut. Glazed elements such as the heart, crown, KING base and key obtained a metallic sheen from the reduction atmosphere in the post-firing process. The clear glazed heads host intricate smoke-filled crackled lines. Both figures' bodies were left unglazed as was the rocky base. The rich blacks for Fisherman were created by thick smoke from burning hardwood shavings absorbed into the white clay body. Overall an incredibly complex work, and despite the challenges and harrowing firing process (which involved a lot of things catching on fire), it was a memorable experience in many ways. <br />

The Lemon King flew through with flying colors, but then got knocked over by a student in critique and subsequently broke his pointy wand thing. This is probably why a lot of ceramicists are hermits.<br />

Click first image to open full set in image loader.</b><br />
I came on board to Sovereign:Kingdoms during the last few months of beta development, and being their sole 2D Artist, steered the art style towards a more unified direction, since the previous art work were done by multiple artists with different styles, with much of the art also being photo manipulations. This was the work I did for the game: isometric building assets, monsters for face to face battle, event panels for text-based rpg like adventure, and vanity items for players to purchase or find in game in order to complete special sets.

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">I was tasked with re-skinning the visuals for a bee-themed game we already had programming for. I wanted to give it a more painterly natural feel for those who would find bee keeping, pollinators and flora appealing. There are few beekeeping apps, so this would give it more exposure. These are all real plants and bee species. ;) Digitally painted in photoshop. Click the first thumbnail to open up image loader.</span></div>

</div>Been wrestling with blogger. I thought it'd be really easy to use it as a portfolio website, but apparently you have to do a bit of surgery on the code to get it to do what you want. And then when you put on t he finishing touch, blogger says, "Sorry, I can't do that Dave." So I have cleverly (but not so cleverly by telling my dear audience) disguised this blemish as a welcome message/blog post. :P *shakes an angry fist*. But finally the rest should go without a hitch!!! I hope!</div>Birdzilla Studioshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01742687853512246373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7359657612837827292.post-39184060029776422142012-01-25T19:06:00.000-08:002012-01-26T05:37:26.665-08:00ArcticaAn animal care simulation game.

Island concepts were given to 3D modelers to build off of. <br />

<b>Q: Why Birdzilla Studios?</b></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
A: As an independent artist, I'm lucky to have the ability to put on many hats from animation to directing, to sculpting and pottery, to storyboards and creating art assets (that are animation friendly: very important!), hence the plural 'studios'. In addition, quite a few of the projects I've worked on I would bring on colleagues to collaborate with on the project. Our strengths combined has created some awesome work. It's been a pleasure working with every single one of my animation family! </div>

<br />A little girl in the park could use some ice cream to perk up her boring summer day, but it comes with a big surprise... My first year film at UCLA! All traditionally animated, down to the ink on paper. It was then scanned in and composited in TVPaint and AfterEffects. Huge thanks to plyvinyl for sound, and my TA Jo Meuris and friend Chanya Hetayothin for their infinite patience in guiding my first foray into AE. </center>
