My Sketches

Here are some more on that freelance gig i'm working on. Stay Up!!

My Absence shall not be tolerated!!!

Hello once again . I know I've done this before. You know the whole "I'm sorry i haven't been around and posted.." pitch. But its been a rough year. Freelance isn't what it used to be, the writer's strike left me back at square one, and i had equipment failure...Other than that i've been fine. Trails and tribulations...whatever, we all have 'em. We can rest comfort in someone wise words of encouragement to keep pushing forward, but in the end its all on you. You have to push yourself. So i keep pushing. I realize that its the only thing in this world we can do, the only real freedom we have. Keep on pushing and keep on working on ur goal.
On that note, I started working on DSX again. I'm in the early stages of doing storyboards for the first actuall episode (yes people it wont be a bunch of cool drawings and cool animation with no story). This actually have a script and a very cool one i might add thanks to the writing talents of my good friends at IDM Films. Other People have joined me on my quest to do this animation. My good friend Keith Miller will be lending me his legal, as well as, writing expertise. And an old friend from High School showed up in my life like a cool Emo anime character in the last battle to save the world. My good buddy Tony Cortes, who plays Guitar in his band HYBRID DAWN. hey let me use one of their tracks to make a revamped trailer, and they also want to Lend some music for the animation. Here is their site. http://hybriddawn.com/

Here is the trailer with The Hybrid Dawn track titled, GOD IN ME:



Also Here are some early designs for a freelance gig i;m working on. As Always Peace and Blessings!! ^_^

My New Character Designs!!

Wassup yall, I haven't been around in a minute. I went to the Anime Fest in NYC this pass weekend....what a show. I helped out with the my boy Aero MC at the New York Tokyo Game room where we had mad tournaments for Tekken, Guilty Gear, Virtua Fighter, NEO GEO Battle Colesium, Super Smash Bros, and KOF XI. It was a blast!!! These are some new re-designs of some characters. I'll put a randomsrt dump up sometime this week. Peace and Blessings!! ^_^

My Long Awaited Return....

WHAT IT IS FOLKS!!! Its been a while! i'd say about 2 months. My apologies to those who have come in search of cool new pics and some progress on DSX. Its been crazy. I've been doing alot of freelance for various people and companies. But what i have been doing, which is the most important thing, is shopping DSX around and handling the business end of things. Its hard, but with the help of my crew IDM and my Brother from another mother, Steve Valdez, Things are coming along extremely well. Various people are interested and i'm even talking budget with some of these folks. So i'll try my absolute best to keep all of you informed. In the mean time Here is a redesign i'm doing for my main character. I designed these characters about 5 years ago. I think they are due some kinda make over. More to come... Peace and Blessings!!! ^_^

My Progress So Far...Pt3

Greetings folks. Here with a new update on some progress on the first episode. What a ride! I love working on my own project, you answer to no one but u. So things are looking up with the studio i want to establish, lots of bumps along the way. But i see myself getting there soon. I'll have more to post later. Peace and Blessings yall!! ^_^

My progress so far...pt. 2

Hey all. I really dont want to show any animation progress only because, when u go see a movie all the parts in the preview dont seem exciting anymore. But this wouldnt be much of a blog on my works on DSX if i didnt show progress..lol. I was watching this movie Undisputed 2 and i saw this roundhouse kick that i loved, so i studied the timing and movment. Basically i did some roto-timing as opposed to roto-scoping. the diference is that with roto-scope i'd have to draw out each individual frame. with roto-timing i just sketch out the actual movment from what i see and apply my own timing. At least i think thats how i think it is....lol. In anycase check out the gif. I really want to intensify this fight scene, so i've been watching my favorite movie fight scenes like crazy. Hell i was even watching the Last Dragon. I love that flick. Any who. Peace and Blessings. ^_^

My Bad Back...

UGH!!! A few months ago i had intense back pain that stuck around for like 2 weeks. It went away and i was happy as all fuck. I was able to move, run, and do all of my daily things again. Guess what happens this morning when i wake up? You guessed it, Its back with a vengence and i'm pissed as all fuck. I recently started this new diet regimen and exercise is involved, now i cant do that. I swear if pain was a physical person i'd beat the shit out of him right now.

Besides all that...like i said recently, i been putting together a studio. We found a great spot but there was extensive water damage. So we're back to looking. So its gonna be a few more weeks b4 we start up. i the mean time i've been learning how to use programs like Dreamweaver and After Effects. Just to further my knowledge on Adobe software. I'm trying to build a site now (u'll see below).
I tried b4 in the past but my coding was wrong, or something was off, now after studying all these new tutorials, i have a grasp on some of this stuff.

So hopefully soon i'll have an actually site people can go to soon. once i know whats what, i'll announce it. in the meant time here are some other drawings i did in the past week. hope yall enjoy. Peace and Blessings.

My Progress so far...

So it seems that I may be part of of opening of, what can be, a good animation studio. If thats the case...then It's about to be ON!!! Once everything has been finalized I'll make an official announcement. For the time being I've been dealing with all the technical specs of everything. Also on the side working on the next DSX animation. things are still crazy with it, bt i'm making good progress. For the fight scene i'm going to actually record my method of animation for those who are curious as to how i produce it. Well back to work people. Peace and Blessings Folks!! ^_^

My Return...

HEY!! Greetings and salutations!! After months of freelance, debt, and catching up to debt, I have retrned. Its been a bumpy ride, but none the less, a good one. Now that i have returned from my pilgrimage of catering to the enemy and travels to Dead N**** BLVD, I'm back in full effect developing the next DSX animation. I originally wanted to start of as a comic. So i just took my ruffs and re-drew them for story board format. This installment of DSX is going to be the full story. I'm trying to go for an online animated series until it gets picked up for something bigger. Once again its back into the Danger room of art and see if i can survive and come out with something decent. I'll keep everyone posted on the progress of my next DSX animation. I apologize to everyone for not being around and putting up new work. I'll make up for it. Peace and Blessings yall. ^_^

My Blast from the PAST!!

EEWWWW!! Don't you hate when you go thru your old drawings and find your most ugliest drawings? I found a Cd that was unmarked and check it out. To my suprise i found art dating back to when i was about 18 years old. I look at this now and think to myself...God i've progressed. And to think, at the time i did these...I thought it was the best thing in this world...LOL. Till next time (with new artwork..lol) Peace and Blessings!! ^_^

My Advertisments!

Hey wassup! Back again with some new art. I'm currently workin on a series of drawings for advertisment for DSX. I figured the essence of revolution would be fun to do. Peace and BLessings Yall!! ^_^

My Hard Work!!

Hey Folks, Long time no see. Well I guess you can say that i've been busy working on animation for DSX. I can begin to feel like i'm reaching closer and closer to something actually happening with this project. Altho my social life has been compromised for the advancement of this project...the pay-off has been great. I feel myself growing more as an artist and i'm becoming more comfortable with my style. As artists, no matter how good we get or people think we are, we always struggle with becoming better than what we are. I was actually afraid to do this animation. Last year i initially wanted to do an anaimation instead of a book. But i let fear and opinions dictate the way i should do things. People would tell me "Chuck it takes a full studio to do an animation, u cant do it on ur own..." or " Why bother networks and film companies wont like DSX cause of the content...do something else..." or my personal favorite, "Chuck we have a great project but we can only pay you shit money and demand the world from you, but its work and you have to take it because we have a big name and its the nature of the business..." Please...listening to all that and a few more choice statements is what drove me into Hiatus for DSx, and that is one thing this year that i regret. I did this animation out of anger and just being plain tired. Why is it that people have to go by some dumb industry standard. Why cant i express myself without being penalized and saying.."your goin outside the norm" "Things arent done this way" " You need to draw animate and kiss ass like this to get ahead"...FUCK THAT!!
I know there are somethings in this animation that could have been way better, and i know that with more money, time effort it could have been great. But i only used what i had available to my, Flash MX, iMovie, Garage Band, my Mac, and My imagination!! Its not the best animation in the world, but i'm damn proud of it! Cause i got my hands dirty, i created something, which alot of us artists have forgotten to do. So if u have a project, dont let anyone ever tell you that u cant do it, or u dont have enough resources, or its just impossible...its not. If u have the will it can be done. Please Check out my anaimation, tell me what u think, if u hated it fine if i like it even better, but i'm sharing it with you anyway...lol. Its why i think i was meant to exist.
Peace and Blessings Yall!!!
