Kadayawan Festival

Before the year 2009 ends, here are some posts on background designs from our last project with the Philippine Department of Tourism. I wasn't able to grab hold of our character designs, So I guess that will be to follow!

The following are some pre-production artworks for Del Monte Philippines' animation project. One of the very first project I encountered that really demanded time, love and attention. naks! the first six are illustrated by the great Von Caro.




The project however demanding it was, turned out to be fun to do. The credit of course, will have to go to our creative director The Gorio Vicuna. He actually allowed us to have fun in doing the project. ergo he actually allowed us to insert our names in the background design! The idea's actually so great, our grafitti names were eventually booted out in replace by the marketing team's name. Who can blame them? heh!


Character design by The Gorio Vicuna.





And for my final note, not regarding the project above, here's a little something for you grace. It actually rained on the night you left me. Thank you for everything. :)

(Be posting their complete name as soon as I find out!)

Also, I'll try to post the animation as soon as I receive a copy. The operative word here is "I'll try" Hah!

Mandatory Hell

I'll have to go through this... one way or another.

Swinewise!

It's the GWard's Lechon project for the Philippine's Department of Tourism! And as soon as the online for this project is done I'll start posting the production journal I've been keeping.

Progress Report?

Man, I've been procrastinating with my tribute project for my hero Chuck Jones and keeping myself busy (?) in coloring this eventual little germy project! Not that it don't deserve any special attention though, after all, this little illus is still a baby of mine. For now, here's how things are progressing with my coloring of germy :) Please do enjoy!

The little germ that didn't quite make it

Upon returning from sweet, sweet Bicol, my friend commissioned me to create a cute germ for her. I still can't name where this little friend of ours will be used for, but apparently he didn't make the cut! So I think it is quite safe to bask his glory in the net for everyone to see and (hopefully) enjoy!



Look at that guy. So cute and so ugly as hell. Sweet!

Tribute to Chuck Jones' Wiley E. Coyote

Here's a little quick homage to the great Chuck Jones and, I'm giving my self just before the end of this month to refine the art.

BayanTel Monkeys

Fernando Alonso not winning the Formula 1 cup championship, UAAP dreams down the drain, Losing bets, Why - Why's, Issues, and then some more and yes.. More issues. I'm glad after all this minor setbacks, I can still manage to see this hard times as some what colorful. Ach! Will do. Will do.

And every time such issues drain me dead, I try to pull my self up and get busy... or at least try to! Which is why, I do tend to reorganize some of my stuffs and delete some junks. But some junks are just to priceless to be deleted and deserves some special attention too!! Well, not that it's some sort of a priceless art?! Still, I treat all my illustrations as my babies!!!
While deleting my overflowing junk e-mails, I discovered some project Jon and I were busy doing early this year ...Although, we still have no idea if the illustration was used by the company, I decided to play around with the color as it was originally done in good bright colors! and lately I've been trying to copy the, hmm how'd you call it - the nostalgic feel - of Paul Conrad's work.

HAH! Nostalgic!

My deepest apologies if I'm mistaken for any wrong terminologies. Any how, visit Paul's blog site.

P.S. And the nostalgic approach is not all that I'm giving 'tribute' too!

Press Work?

At first, I thought press work was tough.
I thought right. My seniors are just plain crazy to do this with me.

Far Right and the person who owns the twisted smile is my managing editor Geraldine and the one with the twisted mind (how apt) is my art director Pen.

Fortunately for me, both my art directors at The Pillars are game with drama.

Same Paper Different Section

here is an unapproved illustration study for the editorial section of The Pillars.

Post lang ng Post

Here is the illustration i made for the Berebentot section of The Pillars.

For "Artsy Fartsy" purposes, I rendered some color to the illustration to give it a little life, since the original output is in black and white.

...And as for the meaning of 'Berebentot' I'll try to find out next time.

The operational word here is

"I'll try"

hooooboy.
