Martin Hsu´s Dragonboy

•

I'm a huge fan of the works of Martin Hsu, and I asked him if I could make a 3d version of his characters.

It became a continuous work in progress, where I can study more of all the elements of a film, like modeling, rigging, animation, rendering, and composition.

A lot of friends helped me on this personal project, giving advice, helping on things that I couldn´t do at the time. I thank you so much.

The first teaser was presented at Martin´s booth at 2013 San Diego Comic Con, creating some buzz that inspired me to keep on working on it.

Let's see where it goes. =)

The original art that inspired me.

Love these guys
