Lanturn Lemur

For this project I created a lemur that acts as a guide for his master. The setting is Madagascar, and the lemur has a lantern strapped to his head to the light the way during night hikes. The middle piece is a quick color study of the environment. I painted it after I realized the night scene didn't quite look like Madagascar.

Sir Gawain and the Green Night Story Moments and Isometric

The top piece captures the moment when Sir Gawain is going to be seduced by his host's wife. In the second painting, Sir Gawain is contemplating how he will kill the Green Night. Next to the gun is a broach that his seductress gave him for protection against the Green Night. I set these scenes in a basement under a speak-easy that was turned into a private meeting room.

Cinequest Trailer BGs

Backgrounds done in UPA and cinematic style for the Cinequest Film Festival 2011 commercial. Storyboard layouts by: Michael Fong. Our vis dev/ background team included Wilbur Liang, Christine Nguyen, and me, with Priscilla Wong as our unofficial lead. I learned a lot while painting these backgrounds, making this winter break a very productive and fulfilling few weeks.
