FIRST TRAILER FOR LONE SURVIVOR RELEASES!

Hey guys, so the first trailer for Lone Survivor released this week. I had very little time to paint the hero asset on this film (2 weeks) but it turned out great and I am very proud of this film. As an avid CrossFitter I am tremendously proud of being a part of this film because of its close connect to the CrossFit Community.

The AC130 plane with the massive side cannon at the end of the trailer is the asset I painted. Here is the poster:

I tried really hard to get the Pukie the Clown logo on the side of the plane as a nice little easter egg for any Crossfitters who catch it in the film but they requested to remove it at the last minute which is a shame

ELYSIUM RELEASES IN A WEEK!

Hey all, so it is a week away and I am eagerly awaiting the release of ELYSIUM. I moved up to Vancouver primarily to work on this film and spent over 2 years working on some amazing assets for the film. A cannot wait to see how it all looks on the silver screen and if the hype prevails. Here is the latest poster for the film:

 

Hope you all enjoy it as much as I had working on it 😀

UPDATES!!!

Hey everybody. Apologies for the serious lack of posts in the past 12-18 months. As this blog is dedicated to mainly my personal work and general PR, I haven’t had much development on either one of these fronts for a while. But all of this is going to change in the coming months. These new events include:

– My second Gnomon Texture Title featuring the new and improved Mari 2.0!

– Completely revamped CGWorkshops course featuring a new creature and Mari 2.0!

– CGChannel Interview.

– Possibly one or two videos in conjunction with The Foundry.

So stay tuned!!! And thank you for following my blog!
