I have been living in a cave, trying to make this finally come to a finish.

I'm now back in California. Boulder has been my home for the past several months. I got side tracked on art for a while because I started to train for climbing and was really into that. But I did manage to do a bunch of art pieces on the side. Mainly gifts. I do have a bunch of sketchbook stuff for later.<br />

At first I drew some of my friend's family for a Christmas gift. She moved to Boulder and was a little homesick, so I drew her folks and sister to make her feel better.</div>

I painted this on a plank of wood for a secret Santa gift exchange I did. The theme was three random words: Dinosaur, Liar, Raven. So I painted a siren that had the head of a raven and parts of a dinosaur. Sirens sing sailors to shipwreck so they are in essence lying to their victims. And I painted it on a plank of wood that I burned and beat up as if it was part of a ship that crashed due to sirens. I had a lot of fun doing this piece.</div>

These were just some sketches that I drew up for a friend who wanted some drawings to accompany his poem for his creative writing class. It was fun to work on. The one with the kid reminds me of my friend Tim Tang's drawings. He is an amazing illustrator, you should checkout his <a href="http://eyegotnext.blogspot.com/">work.</a> </div>

And this guy. I finally animated him and added some effects. Learned a lot about organizing files in flash and cool little effects to enhance stuff. Took a while to do, but was worth it. On to the next one. The design of this guy, by the way, is from these <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/games/mechwarrior4/">guys.</a> The drawing/animation is what I did.<br />
<br />
Also the film is coming closer to a finish so hopefully I can get a teaser trailer or something up sometime.Nikita Tarandukehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02496625409198692507noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3220690341472996398.post-75516568439519341742012-09-14T12:10:00.001-07:002012-09-14T12:25:05.799-07:00Project VomitSo, here is what I've been working on for a while.

And one last thing. My friend, <a href="http://gnarcal.blogspot.com/">Marty Cooper</a>, did this back in college. He would go to garage sales and pick up paintings for some cheap price, a dollar, if you will and would paint something on top of them to make them interesting. So my house made came back with this painting and I pained the space invaders on top. Fun!</div>

<br />Zach, from the time I knew you, until the time of your passing, you were an amazing person. You were an amazing friend. I don't understand why this happened to you, but I still keep expecting you to just show up one day as a surprise. I painted this to remind everyone that you'll always still be here, with us. Keep climbing, buddy.

It was an amazing time. We worked hard, like... really hard. But in the end it was all worth it. The story and animation were all done by me. The music was done by Ryan Adam Rey. He did a great job. I met some awesome people during those two weeks and we formed equally awesome friendships. I'm sure I will see them in the future.Nikita Tarandukehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02496625409198692507noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3220690341472996398.post-8637903973591491332011-06-12T00:03:00.000-07:002011-06-12T00:04:38.734-07:00Figure Painting Final<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcM9y67D-ZR66ReRPiXpxoc6VP8TuMBemEl6d2po-z5vcaD9UETSPyhiZe5Gt6jKZY4Cr5EMmk1nfA3wtuJTqeYZz9XguM_VGzfLgEpu5OGaaS3Fv_BepSEfy3LDg9GOQY-QuWeQhG8UN1/s1600/cosmonaught.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 203px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcM9y67D-ZR66ReRPiXpxoc6VP8TuMBemEl6d2po-z5vcaD9UETSPyhiZe5Gt6jKZY4Cr5EMmk1nfA3wtuJTqeYZz9XguM_VGzfLgEpu5OGaaS3Fv_BepSEfy3LDg9GOQY-QuWeQhG8UN1/s320/cosmonaught.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5617225478101396322" border="0" /></a>This is my figure painting final.
