CARANGUEJO DOIDO AWAKENING
May
18
2010
The year is 2008. I bought a PS3. The reason? I got some extra cash and an urge to play GTAIV. How could I ever know that shiny black thing would consume my life?
Anyway, here I am, 45 games and loads of money spent after, and I still can’t get enough of this generation of gaming. Neither can any of my mates whom have purchased a PS3.
That was when we realized we had to turn our gaming conversations into podcasts, and that’s how the Caranguejo Doido project was born.
Caranguejo Doido stands for “Crazy Crab” in portuguese, and it’s an obvious reference to Sony 2006′s E3 press conference (the Giant Enemy Crab), and clearly focused on the Playstation platform. The idea is to make a website focused on news and Playstation related gaming content to the national public, that really lacks a reliable source (not that we are going to be one, exactly).
By now it’s in development process. It’s pretty close to being finished, to be more precise. But while it’s not up, i’m going to show the logo and design I’ve come up with for this so far. So we can face this as a preview.
Enjoy the Dualshock 3 disguised as a foolish crab >
Aaaaand a screengrab from the site in development. If you are a portuguese speaking, gamer visitant, I hope to see you there…. constantly. If not, well, we’ll meet at GameTrailers forums!
See ya!

Which comicbook lover in his right mind does not love The Authority?
Warren Ellis and Bryan Hitch‘s masterpiece is a must-read, and in my case, a must-make-fanart .
MidNight was kept intact, because my sis is a huge fangirl, so I did this for her.
About his teammates, I can’t say the same. Here’s the new line-up:
(top to bottom, left to right):
• Mamilóide Engineer
• Apolo Uncle Zed
• Mimosinha Swift
• Pepino Hawksmoor
• Dr. Palmito
• Jenny Quantum & MidNight.
THE DARK SIDE OF THE PALM

Yay! Freestyling on ZBrush = Awesomeness.
It’s a bloody shame I can’t get more time into it. If I wasn’t a lazy bastard with a hectic job I’m sure I would do a lot more of this.
This was made 100% from scratch, with no intentions of doing anything, and as it took some shape, I decided to dig into a monstruous version of the lil’ heart of palm. It really was nothing more than a brush, alpha and texturing test, and in the end, the result was cooler than I imagined.

LOGORAMA – LUIGI PIZZAS
May

Long time no posting. But I’m here to change this.
I’ve been thinking about this for quite a while and it’s time to kick it off.
Haven’t you ever wondered (I mean, if you are into this design thing) why the heck do you always have to come up with 1001 solutions for one logo when the chosen is always the very first you imagined?
That’s my karma at least. Not only mine I believe, but of all poor, rotten, savage and unknown designers around the globe.
In honor to that ironic series of happenings, I launch this brand new section on Tetópolis: “Logorama”. In which I’ll post (retroactively at times) logos, disregard of it’s purpose, and their several rejected options.
What for? Nothing specifically. Mainly to register the results of useless creative time, and who knows, maybe can be a study material for some (not that I believe that 
).
The logo in question is all about family, it’s a comfortable, quiet way to start this. My girlfriend’s dad has a quite nice Pizza Restaurant on a fancy location in São Paulo, but it urgently needed a branding reformulation.
As you see, this was a cool subject and my “father-in-law” (not yet) turned out to be an awesome client. He basically told me “you are here almost every single day, so you will know best what to do”. Said that, I made as many good alternatives I could imagine that, obviously, would fit his brand.
As always, the first I created was the chosen one, but I do not regret this since it was admitedly the best. Traditional, italian, strong, charismatic, spot on.
But the point of Logorama is to show the “rejected” ones, so there it is:
Yeah, I picked 1o options to show him, and I made way more than these.
I know I lean towards the final one, but I really like the other 9.
Whaddya think?
More Logorama is on the way. I have A LOT to post here, and no time at all. :/
Oldie But Goodie: Coming Soon
Mar

2010
It’s effin late, tomorrow I have to go pretty damn early to the dentist and I can’t sleep. So to hell with it… I just made it on Maya (clunky as hell with Apple’s Magic Mouse) and here is a teaser for the “Oldie But Goodie” series. What is it for? Well, since my old flash portfolio is down, and with no plans of seeing the light of day again (I liked WordPress much more than XML), I decided to post here some older, really older stuff, that may or may not go back even to the days prior College (circa 1996′s and beyond).
Well maybe that was a bit of a stretch… what I can promise is that initially I’ll post some nice professional and other works from 2005 to 2008, and then we will see where it goes from there. But fear not, these will be to keep the things flowing around here, while the main focus are still new projects and artsy deliriums.
See you soon on the first OBG post.
