Throw back Thursday...

#TBT Remembering when a friend of mine was telling me to do a zombie concept in 2009 during the #zombie craze. Laid out this piece as if you were peering out the backseat window at this fiasco. It got pretty intense to say the least...Thanks for looking. #Pencil #rendering #conceptart #HA! 

YEG Holidays...

Ain't I suppose to be on vacay for the holidays?!! This is what happens when you bring work with you home...Chiseling away at projects in between family time. 

Anatomy study...

Human torso anatomy study sculpt done in Pixelogic ZBrush...This was definitely an eye opener to see all the different muscle groups and how they worked within each other. Will have to do more studies in the near future.

Graduation ceremony...

That moment when you're standing on stage next to receive your certificate from the campus director and they call out the wrong name twice in front of hundreds of people. You think omg my parents are probably wondering wtf and you're looking at the person like, 'Wth. Really?!' And then finally the right name is called and your last name is pronounced horribly wrong. 

I went to leave my seat after receiving my certificate and I was told by the same person who said my name on stage, I had to stay for the final ceremony outta respect for my classmates. Ummm no I'm just gonna get up and go take my grad photos and leave so I can go eat some Viet food. Honestly I've never been one to follow the crowd. Like I'm gonna sit beside folks who smell of strong B O for another hr. Disgusting.

In conclusion I treated my parents out to a meal after at my favourite Viet restaurant downtown. They said that was the best Viet food they've had in a long time, reminded them of back home in Vietnam. Honestly that's good enough for me for final ceremonies lol.

Evening grind...

TA work for life drawing at #VCAD tonight, did some female studies while working...Quick 5 min sketch in HB and a 10 min study in conte. 

'Battle Of The Brush' event...

Last night was epic, 5 teams battling it out on the canvas creating an anime piece...My friend and his partner won the match, thinking about competing at the next one...

Helping Troubled Youths w/Positive Reinforcements...

Back in January I was approached by the director of the Moving The Mountain project to help with a game idea conceived by 2 youths in the program. I saw the potential and put together a team to develop a game prototype that helped troubled youths have structure and positive reinforcement in their lives. It's being tested now and it's getting some PR in Edmonton. Check it out... http://edmontonjournal.com/news/crime/welcome-to-chaos-ed-how-wallis-kendal-plans-to-move-a-mountain
