GRIM

Over at the Forgotten Corner Collective we're piecing together an eight-panel comic where a different artist creates each panel. I created the illustration above using 'grim' as the topic. The baton has now been passed to Mr Dave Hooper...

Plymouth University contacted me and asked me if I would create the illustration for their 2012/13 Alumni Magazine. I gladly accepted the challenge. I was pretty pumped to create this illustration but again I threw my time management out of the window so the final illustration isn't quite as in depth and well crafted as I would have liked. Hopefully it won't look too bad on the magazine itself. Anyhew, I'm grateful to have had this opportunity. Here's my initial draft design which we scraped because it stuck too close to the conventional blue/purple colour scheme.

Thanks everyone for stopping by, really appreciate it!

God bless you guys.

Hold the line!

Now that we've handed in all of our Uni work for assessment, I have some time to do my own artwork, schweet! I want to get a few pieces done for the degree show on June 15th so I've decided to embark on a mini quest to create some Mass Effect fan art focusing on the Suicide Mission from ME2. I settled with this composition and I'm playing with a few of the elements. It's not as dynamic as I'd like but it's the best I can come up with at the moment. Lets take it to the Collectors! Assuming direct control of this art-form!

Tales from 1,001 Nights - Fishing

This is what I do on the weekends...but I wear purple shorts, not blue ones.
Another scene from the tale of The Fisherman and The Ifrit.

Thanks :)

God bless.

Tales from 1,001 Nights - The Ifrit Appears

After the Fisherman has had an unsuccessful day of fishing, he experiences even more misfortune when he releases an Ifrit that's been trapped within a brass bottle for over four-hundred years. The Ifrit is pretty cheesed about being imprisoned for so long and threatens to kill the Fisherman...with a FALCON PUNCH!

Thanks :)

God bless.

Tales from 1,001 Nights (WIPs)

It's probably about time that I actually posted some art! So here it is. These are all works in progress but they're not far off being finished. They're illustrations for the story of The Fisherman and The Ifrit from Tales from 1,001 Nights. This is a new way of working digitally for me but I'm really enjoying taking the cutout approach. I haven't done such a good job at giving these and Arabian Nights feel however.

Please feel free to leave any crits and don't be afraid to destroy me!

Thanks :)

God bless.

Studies

Currently I've been studying rather than trying to create illustrations, I thought I'd post a couple of these studies to show what I've been doing. The aim of these studies is to improve my rendering and my understanding of forms, lighting, and colour blah blah. Anyhew, still lifes to start with.
