captive 01

Mon, 03 Dec 2012 06:05:31 PST

An illustration from the captive project. check out a second here - [link] - and third here - [link] .

Here's what I worked on for most of October/November - animation sequences for Bearkatt Productions, who made a Channel 4 (U.K) documentary about Tanya Kach's life (warning: the documentary deals with very shocking subject matter). 14-year-old Tanya Kach was held captive by an older man, phsyically as well as emotionally, for 10 years of her life - a truly heartbreaking story. The animations were intended to illustrate her emotions when she met her captor at a young age. She rationalized the situation by believing that she was in love and had found someone to take care of her for the rest of her life, something she longed for as a result of not feeling loved or wanted anywhere else. Of course, this was far from the truth.

The animation sequences are basically romantic fairy tale scenes with a 'dark' edge, showing a princess falling in love with her prince. They were edited into the interviews that were conducted with Tanya. What you see above is some artwork which was integrated into the final sequences, to which my awesome boyfriend Arjen Klaverstijn contributed animation and effects.

The Man That Never Moved

Wed, 23 Mar 2011 13:30:52 PDT

There was once a man that hated moving.

In fact he hated moving so much that he surrounded himself with everything he ever needed or might need....

And never moved again.

Pandora

Mon, 03 Dec 2007 11:50:12 PST

In Greek mythology, Pandora was the first woman. Each god helped create her by giving her unique gifts. Zeus ordered her creation as a punishment for mankind, in retaliation for Prometheus' having stolen fire and then giving it to humans for their use. She is most famous for carrying a pithos (jar) containing all the world's evils. She releases these evils, and tries to close the lid but it was too late, everything escaped bar one last thing - Hope, Humanity's only salvation.

From my photo-series "Myths & Fairytales".

Shadow Dance

Mon, 23 Nov 2009 22:02:15 PST

With this series I wanted to experiment with a dancer and her shadow with a cyc background to get a smooth shadow.

The source is a direct unfiltered studio flash with near-closed vertical barn doors to minimise the flash bounce and maximise the depth of the shadow. Anyone who works with studio flash will recognise just how unforgiving a light source that is. A real testimony to Elke’s beauty and skill that she survived this lighting so well.

Lucked out with a brilliant dancer for this shoot. Elke danced her butt off almost non-stop for 4 hours with no complaint. Another real professional. I have to say working with good dancers is just brilliant. They are tough!

"Have you seen the van and road sign imagery that is part of the road trip from Luxology ([link])? I created those for Luxology. While working on them, Bob, Brad and I were joking about making a wilder version of the van and more cartoony scene. We exchanged some crazy ideas (involving cows, clouds and such) and I decided to push it on my own. I wanted to share the results of this experimental path. I hope to add some video tutorials when I have time to show some of the cool things I experimented on along the way." Yazan Malkosh

This is the last personal piece for 2009. It may be a few months until I get the chance to do another one for myself. The idea here is that a Troll was caught in the sun light and turned to stone. He's been there for decades and now a girl comes from the castle to visit.

This is a personal piece for a contest based on Alice in Wonderland contest. ( 3dvf contest)

The main idea was to represent Alice as a junkie, taking her last deadly amount of drug, which leads her via the wonderland to her heart attack...

The unbalanced looks is quite wanted also it may look out weirdly. It was done in Paintool SAI and Photoshop, I hope you'll like it...

Vue it - Pine Shrine

Sat, 20 Nov 2010 18:05:56 PST

All those people who have said they wish they can jump into my scenes and start exploring around, well this is probably as close as your'e going to get

Scroll down to zoom in.
Scroll up to zoom out.
Or use Shift or Control keys to do either.
click and drag to look around.

This was the S.O.B that has given me so much trouble over the past few weeks. But the idea was so good that I was determined to get it done, even if it meant waking up at 5:00am a few days in a row so I could make sure the render was still going before going back to sleep (it took a few days to render

I have to admit I got the idea, and a lot of help from so I owe a huge thanks to him since I was clueless on this stuff as little as a few weeks ago...I guess I can learn fast if I'm passionate about something

So here's the first of what might be a whole series - so I decided to do a very "generic" scene for starters - the classic North American Pine forest, possibly the first thing that comes to mind when many think of landscape art. If this turns out to be successful, I might even take you guys into space one day

Mostly made in Vue 7 with some Phostohop postwork, and the Flash output was done in PanoQTVR. Some day I'll make a tutorial.

13th Secret Of Cathedral Woods

Fri, 24 Sep 2010 02:50:55 PDT

The fallen spring... I saw Fractal dreams had a contest about favourite time of year, and when I found this piece (a part of a "cathedral window" I found in the "Xth secret of" fractal I have been scrutinizing for a while now, see my gallery!) I did this version of it. The original "cathedral window" image is here now:
And a tweak of Cathedral Woods:

My favourite time of year is CHANGE: spring AND fall.
I feel that this image illustrates both seasons, from the colourful fall to the light crisp green spring.

This is a close up of an mandelbox fractal (a 3D box folded in the 4th dimension) rendered with Mandelbulb 3D.

I got my first DD on this piece! Thank you for all your nice comments!

On the one year anniversary of my first Daily Deviation I wanted to honor '13th Secret Of Cathedral Woods' with a new, bigger render:

I recently entered this photo into the College Photographer of the Year contest. It's from when I was regularly doing photography for the campus parkour club.

Red Castle

Sat, 21 Aug 2010 19:22:07 PDT

I took a trip to this area 3 weeks ago and quickly realized the photographic opportunities here. On that trip, trying to save weight in my pack, I opted not to take my tripod as I'd never been there before. I can say in honesty I've never wished for a tripod so bad.

With redemption in my mind I decided I'd get myself back here to properly capture the scene tripod in hand. I took some time off work and found myself at the beginning of the trail-head again. Its a 10 mile trek into the basin and because its part of Utah's wilderness there are no motorized vehicles allowed, either you hike or ride a horse.

Up in the distance just below and to the left of Red Castle is a large lake loaded with trout. 2 miles above and to the right is another even bigger lake with even bigger fish. I was lucky enough to spend 3 days fishing and taking pictures here. Anyone who enjoys great backpacking and stunning scenery would do well to make a trip to Red Castle. In my opinion its the best hike in the Uinta Mountain Range.

Carmillas Bloodlust at NYAF

*********** Yaya on Facebook [link] ***********

EDIT: Here is the reference collage I compiled for Carmilla, for those not familiar with the character.
[link]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I competed in another contest lol! Truly, I did NOT mean to make two costumes in 5 weeks and enter two giant contests within 3 weeks.... but with how full my work schedule has been all year, there was only a 1 and 1/2 month break available to me where I could work on my own costumes. And all the contests I would consider entering are usually at the height of summer during my busy season, so there is no way for me to prepare anything for them.

So New York Anime Fest came at a great time and the Yume Cosplay Contest was an event with a thoughtful and generous prize from the organizers. No other US convention has been that generous to cosplayers before, and in my opinion, valued our community enough to want to put such an award forth (more often than not, costume contest winners get a certificate, that's it. Maybe sometimes donated items from dealers... I sometimes feel like certain cons don't understand HOW much work all the contestants put into their entries, and don't value Cosplay as an entity enough to put more effort/budget into their contests.) The Yume Prize however means a paid vacation to Japan, Invitation to attend Tokyo Anime Faire and $1000 shopping spree in Tokyo.

I hadn't competed at an anime con for 7 years prior to this past weekend but I was intrigued and welcomed the challenge of creating something worthy of such a contest.

My friend Klytaemnestra (Anna) and I chose Vampire Hunter D and we made our respective Carmilla and Charlotte costumes within a month and a half. Amazingly, we were chosen as the winners of the Yume contest.

I am off to another con right now (Realmscon, Corpus Christy, TX) so I don't have time to make a real construction report right now, but I answered a lot of questions for www.girlsentertainmentnetwork.com and they put up an article of our NYAF Yume experience. It has lots of info and more photos/videos from the contest.
