Thanks for all of your support.

The last oil painting completed for the film.
This painting was a very fun painting to create;)
Inspired by the relation my beautiful partner, best friend and spouse and I have together.

The name of the business was excepted.....Yah.....Now contracts can be drawn up:)
It's called Verrocchio's Workshop, LLC

Finish the last two oil paintings that will appear in the film, here is one of them:

The Ship has Landed...LOL!
Applied for my LLC and will announce the company's name when it is approved by Florida's business registries.

Moving forward

Thanks So Much Linda! I appreciate the support:)
It's good to be back to work!

Looks very interesting good wishes to you.

Back in production after a 2 month vacation:)

Even though the hard-drive crash set me back a few months, it gave me the opportunity to work on three more paintings to be included in the film. Just finished this oil on canvas 2 days ago and hopefully the next two want be far behind:

Here's another short film

Back to where I was before the hard-drive crash! took 3-weeks, with a week vacation. Being alot more carefull with the file backups. learned that hard lesson............

Today is the day I go full-time with my new animation/robotic company. Just got back from vacation and ready to take on the challenge of being an entrepreneur.





After loosing my hard drive on my PC with two months worth of animation files data lost, I have rebuild said files and almost back were I was 3 weeks ago before the hard drive crash.

Thanks GuoJun. not interested in making video games but at one time I did work on a video game using POV as the animation code.
Now, I am busy redoing 2 months of work that was lost when my hard-drive failed. :(
Not much time left for the forum...
Thanks for all of your support!

H Drew, these are great science fiction.
In my opinion, images are elements of creation.
If you put them together it will be movie or video game(there are other elements).
Since the process of combination usually looks linear, so I prefer the elements.

Thank you so much Roz. After the film is released, I will begin teaching 3d animation on several software platforms. one day I hope my students and I will be able to produce a major feature film that will launch their film making careers.

H. Drew your art is awesome. I cant wait to see the film.

The is the opening set of the film. Of course it is the last set and set of scenes that are being worked on during the film animation process.
The scene for the most part is empty but will be filled soon. most of the animation is already done but some close ups and alternates are needed.


For the film release date: at first this release date was slated for mid June 2013. It looks like the last part of July is more realistic and a teaser/ trailer should be out in June.

Here's another stage set in the film that contains a lot of my old traditional art as well as some old digital paintings and digital colored pen & inks.

The final scenes to be constructed of coarse are usually the most refined. The scenes below are no exception.
They evolve multiple characters interacting with one another with an environment that was created with experience from previous work.

While extensive time and energy was put into the creation of this animated character, she was too complicated to use as the main character in the film. The main character was design for production with ease of animation in mind. So much learning came from this proto-type and many clips were developed, they are being weaved into the film along with many experimental clips.

Here are 3 more frames from the film featuring the Lilith Character, This character is unique. She was sculpted completely by me (not a Poser mesh) and I hold the copyrights to the 3d mesh.

The City Set is the most complicated set in the film: Here is some low res frame renderings from said set:

After around 5 years of not drawing anything of importance (while I was in night school getting my engineering degree), I drew this pencil drawing.
This will make it in the film. I did a digital colored version of the drawing but most likely, the original version will be selected:

Here's another butter-fly from the Film

Looks very interesting Victoria! wow can we get a look at it?

.Hello Drew, very futuristic !

Here is a shot from my film :)

Good luck and successful promotion.
Best wishes, Victoria

The final film rendering in HD begins today.
Below is a 1/4th H D rendering that is from one of 5 sets built for the film.
This set is the first completed.
Peace, Drew

Here is another low resolution film shot with close to final lighting:

...efforts will be poured into a start-up corporation ...Excellent - so much work in this!
Good luck and successful promotion ...
Any image dealing with fantasy or science fiction....

Thanks Alisa! I will check out the invite....Currently I am engaged in teaching robotics, animation and engineering while producing said film and working full-times as an engineer. post production, my efforts will be poured into a start-up corporation......
peace, Drew

I'm in awe of your work .... Really nice work... and reflections!

Be fearless: Use the Microsoft platform to change up an existing genre, make something crazy and new, or deliver a killer new visual style. Let your skills in game design, art direction, and storytelling run wild. Take the first step and you never know what could happen. The future of gaming is in your hands! ...... :)

Games teams can even be chosen as the National Team for their countries and win a free trip to St. Petersburg, Russia, to compete for the top prizes

Here is a shot from the film at low resilution and low lighting:

Ed, I will start next week rendering the high definition frames for the film. Yesterday, I estimated around 3 months of computer rendering time. Almost all of the sets have been built and most of the artwork is complete. as the renderings take place, I will periodical post one on this thread. Thanks to all of you artist for your encouraging words and support on this project.
Peace, Drew


Here's an oil painting that will be included in the film:

Drew, the stills are great... i'm standing in line waiting for the feature...

Thanks Michael!, this one was inspired by Orson Scott Card's Hive Queen.

Hello Drew, very futuristic, the feather one looks like a Mardi Gras Mask beautiful. Cheers Michael

This work should appear in the film:
