Mento's Guys pilot

This was part of a pilot for those guys who put Mentos in Diet Coke.
Completed in about a week and a half from concept to final.
Take note of the "enthusiastic" dialog they sent me.
The music was to be added later.

Here is another 'make a bad movie classy' photoshop. I think it kinda looks more like a book cover then a film poster, but then again I came up with the idea at 2:30AM last night and had it done by 3.

Worked on this today (on and off). Here's where Im at, could still change alot. Don't know if it would make a good t-shirt, but still plan on submitting for feedback.

This is a work in progress for a t-shirt design contest for the upcomming video game Bioshock. I am reinterpreting the famous painting "Nighthawks" but am going to have it set underwater. Here is the outline of the diner. I plan to add coral and other shadows to the work, to give it an underwater setting. I will post changes as i finish working on it.

So I had a dream that I was in Culinary school and I had to get this giant cookie across the street. (Photoshop)


Oh! and I was made out of chocolate.

Practicing my Photoshop Skills. Here is a self portrait done over the course of 4-5 hours.


Edit: Well, I just got a new monitor and it makes me realize just how bad my old one is, I had no idea the eyes were different colors. Gonna have to fix that

This was my final project at San Francisco State for Animation. It is almost all hand drawn and then composed in after effects.



The reason it is titled 5 is because It was my 5th aniamtion project that semester and each segment is 5 seconds long.
