Octavius Freeze

An amalgam character I made that's a cross between DC's Mr. Freeze and Marvel's Doctor Octopus for a challenge at work. Stay frosty.

Mental Brew

A quote I read off my Starbucks mug. Now I know why I pay them so much for my morning brew.

The way I see it #26
Failure’s hard, but success is far more dangerous. If you’re successful at the wrong thing, the mix of praise and money and opportunity can lock you in forever. –Po Bronson, Author

Beggar Su

Ah this is from back in the days of watching Drunk Master. These are some of the different forms of that style (I think).

CTN!

So I'm prepping to go to CTN this year which means I may not have time to post drawings I just made from the Royal Winter Fair. Maybe I'll post them after I come back from CTN. For now I'll post up some old drawings from the Royal and Toronto Zoo.

Drawings from the Royal from years past. I realized I did almost the exact same drawing this year - _-);;;

Do We Win? ahhh... Duy Nguyen

It's been a long time coming but I've finally decided to add a drop to the bucket that is blogging. It's like every animator/artist/human has one of these so I guess I'm a little late to the game but c'est la vie.

So let's get rolling. For my entire life, my name has always been a stuttering point in every introduction. Teachers would hit my name on the class list and freeze with panic. Often times I heard them call out "Die?", "Dee?", "Doy?", heck even "Doug?". I guess she must have thought my name was a typo or something. After a while, I'd just put my teachers out of their misery when I felt they got to my name.
This all brings me to the title of this blog "dowewin.blogspot.com". That's pretty much how you pronounce my name Do We or Dwee (actually I prefer this) = Duy and Win = Nguyen. Yes that's right, Win = Nguyen. Just trust me on this one. Now that my name is outta the way, I'll be posting some sketches, animations, pictures, etc. in the near future. Hope you come back to visit.

Here's a caricature I got Stephen Silver to make of me at Fan Expo Toronto last year. Love it!
