Late Bloomer by Eastfist

I don’t invest a lot of time practicing how to use my Nikon D3200, but when I do, I make the most of it.

Agent S live action mock up

I suppose, if I don’t do a mockup, I won’t see what it could possibly look like. Back when I first created the Agent S character, I was basing it on Trigun among other popular anime at the time, and they were all wearing leather. Now it’s all metallic armor, or like the live-action CG Iron Man. The goal is to come up with the newest gimmick that everyone, yes even Jim Lee can’t resist but to knock off.

This cover preview is a little more abstract. Although it’s a story for younger readers, I think this cover shows that there’s more creativity in the artmaking process, that it’s adults who make the magic.

Yush. It’s EPIC.

Another step forward for SDXM, my 2D game engine being built with Qt and c++. There is now functioning, gimmicky image distortion, and so far the effects are: water, spiral, and pixelate (more coming). You can observe the background in this video. Possible usage is for underwater levels where the effect can be applied to the frame buffer, transitions between stages, or other fancy 2D gimmicks. (more…)

Balls-tripping, cool, gimmicky effect I had to try out for myself. Check it out… (more…)

Is it too late to jump on the Harlem Shake train? I also demo my DIY Google Glass. (more…)

Why pay $1500 when you can build your own clunky one for less than $100?
