Well its been a while since I’ve posted on this blog. I have been collecting up my thoughts and trying to arrange my life through the chaos its in right now. I am currently trying to make a short with friends so that I could enhance my portfolio. Also have some freelance on the side. Trying to arrange everything in order and plus have to constantly update myself. There is so much going through my mind that sometimes I get to a breaking point. Sigh! I hope I survive and be the best at what I am ….

Just tested my hands on zbrush…. hope to practice and perfect myself.

After a long time of hybernation I currently found time to update some parts of the site. Check out the works section… put some animations their….

Have a happy weekend!

I came across this plugin for lighting 3d objects realtime in ae. Pretty much a time saver in my opinion.

Some images and concept art I found that in my opinion are truly inspiring.
