teaser short video


" really tho , this is the video that i've done in one day and really was happy of what I can do in one day of completion...I like to record my daily progress and to post things as I go basicly.So yea man,this is just a teaser...it ends with a couple,not yet couple but they hold hands and it fades out
...so thats why I just called it " ITS IN YOUR HANDS "

( kinda coo how it ended tho ,makes u wander whats gonna happen next yanno?..but enjoy " )

Alpha Burners GIF rendered cast lineup...1st try at it

** created and rendered on : Tues'Sept'18th'2012

My 1st ever created GIF ...damn it was kinda fun actually doing this .Using Photoshop cs3 ,never used the animation tool before,just figured it out ,its simple really,but takes perfect timing and alot of patience...as you see the characters for ALPHA BURNERS ,are all bouncy and crazy lookin right?...thats because i didnt place them in line properly ,i knew i was gonna mess up a bit because it is my 1st Gif and trying anything for the 1st time you will fail a lil bit,but now I got the hang of it.I'll do betta next time,fa sho,fa sho!!




damn ,it looks kinda messy,and sloppy and even might give u a headache from watchin r staring at it sooo long...ma bad .Anyways I wanted to have my characters coming out from one another's body and stand in line...all that is missing is DEUCE...didnt have a official pose for the dude....but ya gotta do on what cha have,yanno?

Art Life Pictures VIDEO INTRO clips 1 thru 5

** created on Sunday'Sept'16th'2012 **

" Using the program Sony Vegas Pro 9.0 "
...I haven't done much in sony vegas for awhile,not since I was making hip hop song videos,now 2,3months later I wanted to do it again,this time featuring "ALPHA BURNERS" theme song...but before all that,I was practicing some basic skills of mine working with The Intro ,Title of Art Life Pictures 

THIS IS CLIP 1ne

** basic introduction , no real bckgrnd sound or efx just yet...
but I do have 3 r 4 other short intro clips(below).**


                   ( the whole point and concept of my idea behind the video's and Art Life Pictures )

** " Now being a Pisces and a big fish fan ,I wanted to have my logo or representation of Art Life Pictures under water ,kinda breathing (bubbles coming up)and about to surface..to illustrate it i guess ,is like when someone is deep in the waters and swimming looking at all the fishes and underworld of the sea.Sooner or later , you'll have to swim up out of that place and see the land,see the other world of beauty.So yea,Art Life Pictures is just that.It's coming from nothing and out from the underneath surface to the real world,it's time to shine and time to rise up ...
           
      Art (my dream)Life(I respect and admire)Pictures(my art work drawn on paper)
                                                       I now bring you : 
                                        
                                                                  intro ClIP .2wo

intro Clip.3ree
** the below clip is where I just added some cheap ,silly light efx ,playing around I guess,but it turned out alright ...Damn near took me like 2 to 3 hours to do
 these simple ,yet short intro videos


                                          

intro Clip.4our
** I think in this one , I was messing with the sound and efx still ,but it is a big completion from the last 3ree videos , so yea Its getting there...
                                     
                                          


                                          intro Clip.5ive (( final clip so far,might change it later..))

** "My FINAL INTRO , I think...(so far)..this time I just played around with my logo and other efx , simple yet basic animation for an Introduction ...

oh yea,I added my logo of course , representing a character that i'm going by,THE APEX 1 character ,a top rank artist who is hungry.That pretty captures me and what i'm all about right now..Apex,meaning someone who is willing to go to the top and wont rest until he or she does it.An aggressive person with fierce and determination to be the best.I guess a cocky bad ass person who wants to dominate everything (Apex Predator)..but i'm not as cocky , I just want to be the best...The Apex 1(there can be only 1ne)



BRIGHTER SIDE ,last page of The Alpha Burners theme song

** finished last scene pf "Brighter Side" on Sun'Sept'16th'2012 **

" I basically wanted to have ,feature the hommie DEUCE and his last scenes,not much up close shots like Flick,but he did have his moment when he was riding in the streets and the characters saw him and waved out of respect...and Deuce just putted up the Deuces(peace sign)...now he comes back ,pulls over in front of Sensei's Comic Book Store/ Home...he has his controller,and hits the switches as his car/low-rider robot transform....his colors are Red,Green and White...the mexico colors,i might be off but I know Red and green plays a big part in the Mexico flag theme..so yea,this is the last scene ..

BRIGHTER SIDE pg.9&10,intro 2 DEUCE & FLICK

** colored on Sat'Sept'15th 2012 **







** colored on Sun'Sept'16th 2012 **

" really the last page,but I can't just leave out Deuce,I have FLICK here with his dragon camara,flies up to him and lands on his arms...





 his colors or the heat,yellow,orange and red,makes up a hot flame...so he is always posted above things,like a dragon would,that can see /view all perspectives being a great skilled photographer he is.He must have all the good camara shots...so yea,he uses his dragon camara to do most of the high scenes/shots for him


 ** this scene is ..well was the last scene i was going for , but then i thought' oh shit,what about the hommie DEUCE and his powers or skills that he can do...so yea,the next scene is going to feature just him and his low-rider robot transforming ...then the camara will pan up to the characters u see here..and that'll be the last scene and finish up page for the Theme Song...but this scene is really the final,with Sensei on the roof
 ** " DEUCE is below while the others above over him get 2gether ,with all flying abilities,he is the main one who has ground control ..so yea,I have him here performing his robot to hit the switches,he uses his belt as a controller,and it is...so he takes that controller and perform,transform his Robot...

BRIGHTER SIDE colored pg.8ight

** colored on ,Sat'Sept'15th'2012 **

" Since I consider myself as an artist and I love my characters like they were my own children,I thought I might as well add myself in this series /manga /comic .I only have like 2 pages ,or maybe 3 pages my Apex Artist Character is in it , rapping and showing the Alpha's how they can manipulate and learn how to adapt to they're new found powers...so yea,in this scene and below are up close -medium shots and important scenes to the theme song "Brighter Side"...the circles/spheres are magical and inside them they're dreams ..well not dreams,just something they love to have to make they're dreams come true.."The Aerosol Cans" which gives them they're powers ,hidden potential powers really .Later come 2gether and to open up a vortex /portal or dimension to The Real World...which as in now they're in The DreamWorld "The Brighter Side"








** now they open up the Dimension to they're home(l.a)"The RealWorld"...which they step outside on the streets/sidewalk on the side of Sensei'Comic Book Store...Princesses Grandpa crib and job place...

BRIGHTER SIDE Final Pgs 6 & 7 ,fea :well ,ME ...

Ruff & Final Sketched on : Sat'Sept'8th'2012
 Final Color : Friday'Sept'13th'2012
Ruff & Final Sketch : Sat'Sept'8th'2012
Final Color:
 Fri'Sept'14th'2012


" ...Now the above storyboards ,ruff and final color pages ,both took me forever ,the sketching and drawing part takes a full day ,the color pages as well a solid day to fill in ,but the coloring is kinda fun and more interesting then drawing .I love drawing but color always tops off sketching anyday...

Anyways the last page.Page 7veen , which features me in it,i usually cast myself in all my comic songs and appearances for a short time,but never a verse rapping.I'm in a martial arts outfit,blue and black fitted , all buffed out .Yea I do work out,so it's accurate on the sketching part .I'm not as pretty tho in the drawing...lol,my eyes arent that big,but its a Manga style i'm going for yanno,
so yea,I tend to make the eyes bigger.

So basicly a full day it takes me 2 color pages to finish,4-6hours.Today is Saturday morning'12,1am(Sept 14th) and that was my last scene of Friday.I'm going to start Page 8ight in color right now..So really , if I do the math ,if it takes me 1day to do 2 pages of Coloring and I have 10 pages left to do and as of now,i'm on Page 8ight.I should be done by the end ,or early morning of Saturday,entering a new day on Sunday.Which then in the morning I will begin some animating,using Sony Vegas Pro.9
It'll be fun because animating is always entertaining,mixing with sound,special efx and learning new trix...so yea man,I will keep you guys The fans updated as always

(Ruff and Final Sketched Storyboards ,with Color pages comparison)




" took a solid week to finish,from Sunday'Sept'2nd to September 12th...is that a week or more?...well ,it took me awhile to do it and to finish it..pretty much it's usually 2 storyboards a day ,both ruff and final sketches ,as well with the same of Color Sketched page.I thought i can do 3 pages a day of color pages , but shit in all effort ,each page consists of 4- 6 hours a day..so that means , i've finished page 2wo of Color Scenes and it took me 4hours ..sometimes 6 to find some errors in color or lil edges of sketches...shit,color takes a long time,but trust me,it'll be worth it at the end,when I animate /video do em "

" Ok,i've done alot of drawings over the years , and designs and characters with a bunch of storyboards and all that fun stuff.I must admit something now,shit I'm damn Proud of this design , I actually patted my back saying damn,this shit came out tight and I love this drawing design ,I always said to myself " Damn , this is going to look sooo tight when it's finished and colored,this shit is tight !!"...yea,those exact words pretty much.But damn,really I love this design.This would be the 1st Tshirt design I would have printed out if I had a chance...yea,it might sound that i'm feeling myself to much,but if you came out with something you love and admire ,would'nt say to yourself u did a hellava job ,I just took it to the next level...lol"

( Sketched LAST Storyboard scenes Pg.10en )



"NOW,the last scene i'm actually still working on , I had to fit in some cheap animated scenes of Deuce,cheap meaning , I had to cheat on getting his character development design pages and to add them onto my final storyboard /last scene pg...i'm on a time-strict basis here ,so yea,I do have a deadline and I must get my comic / manga book up and running.So any other artist will tell you,that you must do what cha gotta do to get your point across on with short time ya have...so yea man,I have the last scene,an extra scene of Deuce,Low-Riding,hitting them switches making his Robot transform...then it'll pan up to the last shot of the storyboard with all the characters lined-up and posing...just gotta color the background...(comic book store)

I always have reference of things,either people ,or backgrounds,in this situation ,i've google a bunch of comic book stores right?..then choosed the one that fits my storyline and characters...its simple , not much detail and people around..just a perfect fit for an old man(Sensei character)to live and set up shop...

This is a picture /shot of the original Comic Book Store I drew from the above sketch,and home/background of Sensei..
