Newest JCSG Cards

So, I've been commissioned to make new editions to Jet City Saber Guild trading card line up again. I didn't post the original photos in my last post in regards to trading cards because there were just too many. But here you can see what I started with, and what I finish with.

New Jet City Saber Guild Trading Cards!

This new Jet City Saber Guild trading card series, I worked on has been released. I am quite proud of working on this for my teammates and peers, knowing they are happy with it, makes me happy. Photos are from various photographers including myself, Suspi Photography, Lumonic•Photo. The card template was created by Rubin Polizzi and the Temple Logo by Derek Hidalgo. Edits are of course, by me. (Trivia- I'm Darth Imogen)

Come to one of our shows and our booth with 501st and Rebel Legion at this year's Emerald City Comicon, raising money for Seattle's Children's Hospital.

Can you collect them all?

Fighting Game Concept

One of the finals I have been working on the last couple of weeks. I plan on making this a real fighting game, featuring members of the Jet City Saber Guild (a non profit organization that specializes in lightsaber fight choreography) in iconic locations around Seattle, where we are based at.

This short animation is just a concept of what I want to do. Not very refined, as I had very limited time to complete this in, as you can tell with only 2 fights who both only have 2 images for the sprite movement. However, I am currently looking for a team to work on this. Perhaps this will be one of the projects I get to lead during mod team I and II.

JCSG Photo Edits from Dec 2015

Hello All!

It's been far too long since I've updated this blog. It's because I have been really busy doing a lot of things. One of those reasons, I'm about to showcase in this post. So I am a member of the Jet City Saber Guild here in Seattle, WA. We were asked by the Pacific Science Center (PSC) if we could provide a performance for the opening night of Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens. And we of course said, "YES!" These photos are from our promotional video shoot for PSC as well as for the local news KOMO (you can find that video segment here.) One of our Guild members (Suspi Photography) was awesome enough to take still photos during this time, and I got my hands on them to edit. I had so much fun doing it too, especially the animated one of me fighting (a happy accident at first.) It was really exciting to actually edit some photos of my costumed friends, something I want to do more of.

JCSG- Star Wars Celebration 2015

(I'm the evil one dead center)

I realize I am posting this way after the fact, but it deserves to be here. I am a member of Jet City Saber Guild, and I was given the chance of a lifetime to finally attend Star Wars Celebration, and I got to do it with dear friends, who also have a passion for the fandom. We got to do performances, official interviews, photoshoots, work our own booth, raffle items for Make A Wish Foundation, give out our trading cards, talk to other fellow fans from around the world, and of course train children in lightsabers. It was certainly a dream come true for me. The bonds that I made there, and to actually be around "my kind" was very special to me, and will forever remain special. Even through all the busy hustle and bustle (it was crazy, but incredibly fun and short lived), I managed to take some journalistic type photos of Jet City performing, and I loved doing it too! I felt like I was back in my old job, and capturing my friends doing what they do best, which is sparking the imagination of children and giving them an experience they won't forget. I wish I would have taken more, but I really wanted to experience everything unhindered, and contribute to the experience myself, (and lots of selfies, you all don't want to see.)

So, pardon the watermarking, but it's necessary because of social media and the whole advertising thing lol.
