Some sketches
| 09 November 2010
Sorry for the lack of update, I have been busy for quite sometime since I came back from my trekking in Yunnan and Hunnan. A few days after getting back I had a call from a friend and was offered to design Tablet PC. And since I was free, I thought it would be nice opportunity to get into a new career path. I was burned out mentally from my previous job. Eight years of designing toys was really a long time. But it was really a great experience, I matured there as a designer. But it was totally exhausting, especially after the decline of the toy manufacturing in Shenzhen. I was constantly thinking of new ideas of how we can revitalize a business heading down. It was a really painful reality to see that even after we have succeeded with our product lines, the price of manufacturing had increase and buyers kept pushing down the manufacturing cost. At the end of the day, my boss had given up and steered to a different path for which I do not see myself following.
I just finished the ID of the new tablet PC, I can't show it now because it's still under MD (Mechanical Design). The PCB was ready and I'll be doing a mock-up render of the final product in coming week. I'll post it here when it's ready to be launched. Meanwhile here's a few here are few sketches and studies I did while I was out of job for 2 weeks.
Jeepney Toro. My quick study case of streamlining the design of our much beloved transpo.
Xtreme Gaming Headphone Studies
And Characters from the Children's book I am developing with Andrew. We are both excited with the development of the story and I have completed the character studies. For now I what I can tell is that it's all about crazy farm animal with a lost visitor.
And this piece that has been WIP for a long time, I don't like loosing my momentum when I paint because most of the time I don't regain it. Here's Damaso.
