Cleaning Out Old Rooms

My brother and my mother were cleaning out an old room in the family home when they discovered this little gem. Its a really old graphic I did for my first animation studio called Animomo. I have added a couple of finishes to it to make it look older and to give it the historic look it deserved. If I only knew then what I do now, I would be very rich indeed.

Gemini Rising Trailer

This is the trailer for the Sci Fi Channel movie I contributed spaceship designs to. I  only wish I could find the full movie. All effects and most compositing was done using Blender 3D. Impressive stuff for a free software.
I hope I ended up on the credits.

Concept Art For Drone Project

I have just completed these concept illustrations for a project that a friend of mine is involved in. He and his team are developing drones for rescue and emergency situations. These drones have A.I and can be useful in many situations. He has been interviewed by CNN and will soon feature in their magazine.

Blending Up Some Jellysnakes for 102



The book cover is still getting attention. I am using blender3d to add the tattoo design to a skin texture and I am starting to put the jelly snakes on top to complete the zero shape in the 102 title. I am more than pleased with the way it is shaping up.

A Tattoo Needs Skin


Some more progress on the tattoo for Annabelle Utrecht's book cover 102. I am adding skin and eventually a texture via Blender so there will be a bumpiness to the skin. I am really liking the tattoo look of it. I thought I might have to revisit the feel of it a couple of days ago, as it wasn't working. But persistence has payed off.

Blender Jellies Take Shape

I am really getting into Blender. The learning curve isn't a steep as I thought. I have really been hesitant to muck about with materials and textures before, mainly because instant results are tricky. But I soldiered on. Now I am getting results after reading as many tutorials online that I could find.


I have yet to add all the detail and light it correctly but I feel its a great start.

Next, The Jelly Snakes


I am playing with Blender to perfect a jelly snake texture.The modeling is yet to come, but for now I want to work with a standard blender render material. Blender does come with Cycles which is a good rendering engine also but I like the results you can get with the old Blender 3d render engine.
