Seems strange making a posting that isn't Agent Orange related!!!
I recently did these dino character designs for a friend of mine, Liem Nguyen. I'll fill you more in about what the project is as it goes along, but basically... it's a video game!!! Very fun stuff.

In other news... I saw the new Transformers movie, which I have to admit, I was VERY excited to see (which I'm sure comes at no surprise to you all, seeing it is all about robots!) First of all, let me say that the action, amount of robot screen time, battles, and even story were pretty awesome.
But sadly, the movie failed tremendously due to it's high level of rude humor and sexual content.
Twas a sad day indeed for ol' Rawlsy. Definitely NOT for kids. (or adults trying to keep their minds clean for that matter!)

  2. Nice looking designs man! I saw Trans 2 aswell, and I generally liked it, but there were almost one too many spinny Micheal Bay shots for me - I started to get queezy.

  4. SPINOSAURUS!

    i also wanted to see the big robot movie but all the reviews and the talk about the failed humor made me go into "maybe not!" mode.

    bay seems to have a great way in missing the right tone.

  5. Oh dinos. You bring me back to my youth. Who didn't love dinos back in the day? Who I ask?

    Sweet desings RAWLS. I love your linework.

    I haven't seen Transformers either and, really, I don't think I will. The first one was fun, but I haven't heard anything but "lots of action" as a compliment to the new one soooooo, not for me.

  14. Fantastic Dinos!
    Triceratops still is and I think always will be a fav.

    I completely agree with you about Transformers too. Fantastic potential squandered on throwing in way too many un-necessaries.

    Keep on Rockin it!
