I've been getting back into Evangelion recently after seeing the 2.22 movie that was released a little while back. I decided to go back and watch one of, what I believe to be one of the best animated sequences ever produced; Asuka fighting the EVA series. It boggles my mind how any group of people could hand-draw and craft such a beautiful, raw, and passionate scene. I love every aspect of this scene, from the disturbing groans and gurgles that the EVA series makes to that second where the discarded casings of Unit 02's spikes pop out. As you watch the earth below be torn asunder, you can feel the grandeur and scale of this intense battle. All of this is to the tune of Air on a G String, one of J.S. Bach's most soothing pieces. I teared up while watching this part because deep down I knew it was not going to end well, but I don't think I would have wanted it any other way. If you are an animation buff, you owe it to yourself to see this.

I'm going to do another animation because of this. I'm already in the process of making it.

So here is some more. The one right below has some ideas for a game I would like to make. On top of all this sketching, I'm always thinking of fun ideas for games.

There is one more piece of scrap I did today, but I am going to color it in and then publish it, because I think it would look even better than it already does.

For those who even glance at this site from time to time, I apologize. I have been working a lot and never got a chance to upload some images. These three, in particular, are models for a game I am working on with my friend. I am so ecstatic about working on this and hope to do more in the future. If anyone likes these examples and wants work done, I would be more than pleased to work.

A Preview of Trusty Bell

2007-08-11T20:53:00.000-07:00

I recently played through the demo of Trusty Bell, or Eternal Sonata as Americans may know it. I just have to say, I am incredibly impressed. The many facets of this game contain details that I really miss in RPGs. The battle system is like a combination of what you would see in the Tales and Star Ocean games, but with a time-based,turn-based spin to it. This makes you think about how you should use you moves in the few seconds that you have. There is a lot more to it, but if you have an Xbox360, I highly recommend everyone to give it a shot. It's really fun!

You see, this is exactly what should be brought over to the states and all over the world. But, as we know, it probably won't fly over here. The U.S. is full of amazing opportunities for people and the country takes what it can to apply to it's own culture. Unfortunately, I think that Americans are not open minded enough to think that this would be profitable enough. Can't say I blame them though. Kids these days are fucking morons. The adults are to blame too. While our country represents all cultures of the world, the largest factor from these cultures represented is fear. "Oh no. We couldn't POSSIBLY think of using of a different method to teach our children. Besides, they'll probably just play mindless games on their DS' anyway, so what's the point?" The point is that our education system sucks...and I mean really sucks. Maybe if we applied education to something that kids like, then maybe it would be easier for them to assimilate knowledge into their lives.

FFIV DS

2007-05-10T06:12:00.000-07:00

I remember a year or 2 back when I went to n-sider and saw the luscious new screens for the DS remake of III. For them to remake my favorite video game of all time, I was quite ecstatic. Now this happens, and while I am a bit worried about the 2D to 3D translation of IV, I can't help but drool over these screens. Plus, some of the team that worked on the original will be working on this one along with the team that worked on the III remake. I thought the 3D representations of the characters and bosses were perfect, and I'm confident in what I'm seeing so far in this promo. I just hope that they keep a quick battle speed. One thing that bothered me a bit was the remake of III felt the tiniest bit sluggish compared to it's Famicom counterpart. Other than that, I am confidant this game will do a great job at retelling a classic story.

You know, back in high school, I would have dreaded the fact of Microsoft even touching Final Fantasy. So much has happened, however, since then and now I feel more comfortable now with this whole non-exclusivity deal. This is such a major blow. I never thought it was really gonna go through...but...well, I guess that's that.

Drawing this was partially inspired by the second DBZ movie.

This was the first one I scanned in a sketch. There are just some things that are better done in pencil first.

By the time I had finished drawing the body, I was already cutting away half of it and covering it with armor.

This took me about 8 hours. It's one I'm quite proud of. When I was drawing the knight, I kept coming back to a bunch of Amano drawings. I love the horned but elegant look he uses. The rings were partially inspired from the final battle in FFIX. In the field, there was this cool Colosseum-like ring surrounding you and the boss. It was on a much grander scale, though.
