Stills

• Good Morning, Life

  After almost seven (7) months of research, procrastination, and intermittent improvement after working, I've finally finished this piece.
  
  This is dedicated to all of us, the servants of our own mindset, and of this lifetime.
  
  Made with: Blender and GIMP
  Rendered with: Cycles
  
  Timing-wise, this will also serve as my homage to BlenderGuru's Architecture Academy (http://www.thearchitectureacademy.com)
  
  I would really love to hear your honest thoughts on this. It'd be nice to hear a version of your interpretation on this piece too. :)
  
  Thanks so much for viewing.

• Waiting

  Hi, everyone! Most of you might've seen one of my latest pieces lately, titled 'Nature'. I just couldn't get over that style, that was mostly inspired by Timothy Reynolds' polygon art; kudos to him!
  
  I present to you my latest artwork, 'Waiting'.

• Please

  Meet Herchi, the probable offspring of our dear canine pet babies Hershey and Hachi.
  She has the tenacity of her mother and the demand to attention by her father.
  
  I simply couldn't resist puppies' epic tilted cute stares and beggings; can you?

• Down

  This is my entry to CGMeetup's "Make Your Minion Contest" http://www.cgmeetup.net/forums/topic/385-make-your-minion-contest/.
  
  This is actually a parody of Despicable Me and Up, both of which I am truly inspired and at deep awe with, both from a story-telling standpoint and the visual impact they left me.
  
  I hope you like it! :)
  
  Thanks for viewing.

• Nature

  Title: Nature
  
  First off, I don't know what art style this is, but I really find it very interesting.
  
  This was very much inspired by David Small's post over at the Blender Facebook group. I wasn't actually planning on getting something done out of that, I was just merely playing around and seeing what possibilities may arise.
  
  The freedom I experienced from creating this piece is beyond description. I'm deeply hoping you'd appreciate it though.
  
  Thank you so much for viewing!

• Home

  "Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow." -Albert Einstein
  
  This has been lying dormant on my hard drive for almost four months now and I decided to finally submit it.
  
  Very much inspired and influenced by the vast amount of architectural renders I am awed with, by the absurdity of freedom, by my older brother Rommel's sharing, and by faint memories of my childhood.

  Thank you so much to Brecht Van Lommel for the bug fixes on the reports I submitted, he's a savior! My thanks goes to Floren Bautista too for some modeling tips. :D

• Intent

  Hi, everyone! I present to you my first head sculpt. This is an attempt to create a semi-realistic head, while maintaining a caricature-styled appearance. I did this to test and verify some shading, lighting, and sculpting concepts I had in mind, while having fun!
  
  Looking forward to retopologizing this too and adding a few animated expressions here and there. :)

• Innocence

  
  “The silence often of pure innocence persuades when speaking fails.” - William Shakespeare
  
  Inspiration struck me when I was least expecting it, and this was one of the results thereafter.

  Thank you so much to Stuart Broadfoot (Broadstu) for the hair patch that he did for Blender Cycles.
  This goes to Brecht Van Lommel too for the development and to the volunteers for testing.
  
  I am also hoping on creating a short introduction regarding hair in Cycles anytime soon.
  
  Thanks for viewing! :)

  and that instant moment of happiness.

• Privilege

  Inspired by my teaching period in one of the universities here in our country, the life in the barrios, the heart-breaking poverty that some our fellows are experiencing, and by the realization that many people and families would sacrifice a fortune just to get educated.
  
  Conceptualization started late September and I'm very happy that this is finally done. I hope you all like it. :)
  
  Made with: Blender 2.63, Blender 2.64, Darktable, and GIMP

• Lost in Stereo

  Initially inspired by a modeling exercise I did, partly by the song 'Lost in Stereo' by All Time Low, and by the disconnection I feel when I wear my headphones on.
  
  Thanks to Andrew Price (http://blenderguru.com) for the initial challenge.

• Days Go By

  Created with: Blender 2.63

• Zen

  “All that we are is the result of what we have thought. The mind is everything. What we think we become.” -Buddha
  
  The composition was inspired from a photograph I saw while browsing around the interwebs and in an attempt
  to try to calm my mind from the thoughts and ideas I try to ponder on, which at times trouble me.
  
  Made with: Blender 2.62

• Stability Under Pressure

  "If you always put limits on what you can do, physical or anything else, it'll spread over into the rest of your life. It'll spread into your work, into your morality, into your entire being. There are no limits. There are plateaus, but you must not stay there, you must go beyond them. If it kills you, it kills you." -Bruce Lee
  
  
  Inspired by one of the phrases my girlfriend shared with me, by my fear of drowning, and my fondness of going deep under water.

• Such is Life

  “For everything you have missed, you have gained something else, and for everything you gain, you lose something else.” -Ralph Waldo Emerson
  
  My huge thanks to my friend Floren Bautista for allowing me to make him my model reference. Everything you see here is his existence.

• Constraints

  "There's no evil in learning; the rush of it has."
  
  Inspired by The Thinker by Auguste Rodin.
  
  I've made this to feed my urge to do some modeling
  and lighting exercises, while flooded with tasks
  at work. This also serves as a baseline for me
  on future projects.

• Procrastination

  Title: Procrastination
  
  "Do not do today what you can do better tomorrow."
  
  Hello, everyone! Here's another piece I've been working on for quite sometime now and I definitely have to put an end to it and share it with you.
  
  This is primarily inspired by the fact that some things just has to be done, seldom, we don't want to, but we have to.
  
  Happy viewing!
  
  Thanks.
