Spain & BMX masters

Hello everyone!

Here is yet another update. This time I've decided to post some some pictures I've taken during my vacation in Spain and during BMX Masters event in Cologne (in 2012), Germany.  

Spain was a very warm place. We were staying in a place near Guissona ( 2 hours ride from Barcelona)

Poeple were so friendly and willing to help, although it was hard to understand them, because very few of them talk English and my Spanish is a bit " rusty". Nonetheless it was a fun vacations. Another set of photos was taken in Kologne, Germany during BMX Masters 2013. I had hem for a while now but I forgot to post them here. Enjoy!

Still Active & Graduation Project

So it's been a while since my last update, but I'm still active on Blogspot! It;s been a crazy period. I've finally graduated from the Art Academy. So it's official, I am a Bachelor of Design. In my essay I was doing a research about the influence of surrealism in sciencefictions movies. Especially in design
My graduation project was a short animation, made in After Effects. The idea was to combine elements form surrealism and sciencefiction with a story about coming of age.Big up for Dave Smith for his amazing soundtrack:

Storyboard for my graduation project

Sorry about late and a long post, but I've been busy with my graduation project. It should prove a very fun but a challenging surrealistic animation to make. But this is gonna take time, since I had to overhaul the whole project and start from scratch, cause my story wasn't compelling enough. Well at least I've learned a lot. These are gonna be some busy weeks.

The Crow

Another birthday, another friend tranformed. And 'çause it's also Halloween and I was watching "The Crow",( the first one), I've decided to transform that friend into The Crow with a bit of a surrealistic feel to it. A bit of backstry: The Crow was a comicbook about a murdered musician, Eric Draven  comic back to life  with the help of a supernatural crow to take vengeance on the tugs who murdered his girlfriend.

The Crow was then filmed, with Brandon Lee  in the lead role as Eric Draven. It was also his last role,as he died a tragic death. In one scene the group of thugs shoot Eric, but the bullets used in this scense weren't blanks. A veru tragic end to a legend.

Also a shout out for Sunmoondragoness for helping me out with tips! Chek her blog  at: http://creationsofeve.blogspot.nl/ and her deviantart page: http://sunmoondragoness.deviantart.com/.
Happy Halloween everyone!

2001: A Space Odyssey

Diving deeper into Science fiction and Surrealims, I've found the scene below, represents the hybrid  of two. This scene is from Stanley Kubrick's : "2001: A Space Odyssey" The visuals are just mind blowing. Very Inspirational!

Character

So I'm still busy with my exam project. After viewing my first concept animation my teacher gave mesome useful feedback. First of all I had to redesign my character and give him more.....character :P. My first robot was too "blend". But my promoter liked the idea of my character resembling a nomad in the desert, so I'm sticking with it. For my second sketch I drew a lot of inspiration from  the "Curiosity" design. Below, you'll find my first concept rendered in Photoshop and Illustrator. Itook a little old -school approach for my new concept . For now it's just some pencil drawings from my sketchbook. More will be coming soon!
