Just another struggling artist with a passion for 3D computer graphics. I was first inspired by the works of Jean Giraud (a.k.a. Moebius) of "Heavy Metal" fame, hence the tribute in my online moniker. My 3D CGI tool of choice is LightWave, but I have recently started mucking about with digital photography. Other tools include Vue Infinite and DAZ|Studio. I also work in Photoshop and CorelDraw to cover the 2D graphics stuff.
I don't have too much patience for setting up final renders, because my interests lie in modeling. "Non-organic" modeling, or "hard surface" modeling, in the sci-fi genre to be specific. So the bulk of the images in my gallery are modeling WIP's and design studies, the rest are photos and a few quick sketches. I consider myself a hobbyist, because I am still at a level where my skills definitely need a lot more improvement.
I'm an architect by training, and work as Studio Manager for an architectural/interiors design office. I was born, raised and educated in the Philippines, but am currently based in Bangkok, Thailand where I live my wife, "Kanittha", our son "Nio" and our cat "Samuel".
Thank you very much for looking up my page.

Excellently modelled weapon and one of my favourite films.

I think Kaneda would not have had such a tough time of it if he had had this model! Awesome modeling!!!
Django
Beam weapon? i would have made it some kind of bazooka,actually..but none the less admireable detail in the model
VOID
Excellent work! Only question for me is if the carry handle is really in the center of weight, which I would expect to be further back. Perhaps you should also make the thumbhole in the grip a bit bigger. The military prefers weapons that can be fired, even when the soldiers have to wear cold weather gloves. Minor details, as you can tell. I love it. :D
oooZENOooo
Faultless from a technical point of view, in my opinion. Excellent modelling and choice of weapon.

Didn't I see a gun like this in Doom 2? (LOL...J/K) Looks nice, Moe.
Malakh
Oh man, this look so sweet. Your work is always so inspirational especially to a sci- fi junkie like myself.Can't wait to see the textured version.
lahavana
flawless, as usual, my friend :D should I dare hope you'll be enchanting our eyes with Kaneda's bike too? big, innocent, diabolical grin

i think a good model is already great before texturing... good texturing should give a model good textures.. not make the model work... i even think a good modeller is more a shader-man than a texture-man... great job, perfect moebius-detail/surface-contrast again... which you can't find much around renderosity, i have to say.
Darkmagi
Sweet, Moe, very business-like and functional as with all your stuff, any plans to release it as a Poser prop? Please?
DeathWalker
That sounds like a good idea magi. . . what'cha say Moe? PLEASE!
uir

I already loved the design with the laser-gun + battery-pack in the Akira movie. And this is a really nice model...

Stale gallery? NAH. Your reputation is too well established for that. LOL. I didnt see the movie so cant compare your rendition - but I suspect yours is better. :-).
GEN
Absolutely great work! Can't wait to see it textured!
