Pacific Rim was Awesome

It's no secret that I love movies and often go to the cinema with my sister or mom. I went recently to see Pacific Rim with my sister, and the both of us are Neon Genesis Evangelion fans so we were understandably excited. I loved it so much I went to see it again with my mom! It had its flaws but was a great bit of monster vs. robot fun.

As a result I decided I'd draw up a bit of Pacific Rim artwork (I'm also compiling a rocking playlist to go with it!) and this is the result!

Business Cards!

It's almost time for our trip to London to meet agents and companies, and the New Designers show is also coming up fast, so most of the class has been working on getting some business cards made up - including yours truly!
Mine are supposed to be varied in style but still cohesive as a representation of what I do and how I draw or visualise. Here are the final designs to be sent off tomorrow:

And on the back of all of them will be this:

 

Some of my classmates reckon the back image is a bit intimidating, but I'm only smiling! I don't really like drawing myself but I am proud of my hat. Also redesigned my website if you haven't seen it yet!

Have You Tried...Vegetables!

 

Speculative Illustrations for a series of vegetable-based recipe cards

I've recently started trying to eat healthier, do a little more exercise and so on, which is the inspiration for this.

I don't know why either guys.

'Motion' Visual Essay

 Since finishing up the posters I've spent the last week and a half working on a visual essay focusing on motion, and using Parkour / free running as my inspiration. I'm working towards a possible graphic novel final illustration, but thought I'd share a few of my best sketches first:

There are more scans and images of my sketchbook work, process and sequencing at my SKETCHBLOG if you're interested in seeing more.

Tokyo Linearts

More work from Japan project including final isolated lineart for Tokyo...

Visual Studies pics

Some images from the last visual studies session, probably will have more soon:

Doodle of Max cutting food up and a self-portrait using Faber Castell Markers. I really, really hate having to do self-portraits. Particularly with only a hand mirror...

Life Drawing Mixed Media

I'm not normally one who likes mixed media, but this week's life drawing was painting with rags and cardboard, then I messed around using acrylic, ink, and pastel. Clothed figures are a lot different to draw than traditional nudes, but it's fun!

Uni work

Oops, left it a bit long for an update again...been busy with uni work. Here's a couple of finished stuffs:

 For an editorial brief, 'Poisoned Pictures', an article about viruses and trojans being attatched to images in Google image search.

Aaand for our Book Cover brief, the title being 'Occupational Hazards' (this is the penultimate version, the final isn't saved as a compatable image file...) This was actually pretty fun. Might put up some sketches from it later?

Other Stuff

For those of you interested, I post a lot of my other work - such as university projects, sketchbook pages, etc - onto my DeviantArt account, as it's easier to manage pictures on there. I tend to use this blog for general work updates with only a picture or two.

The main page is www.resurrectorofthedead.deviantart.com and for some quick links:

Spider-Man pressie

It was my cousin's 22nd birthday yesterday, so I painted him this Spider-Man picture. We're both into comics and stuff like that! He's loads better than me at drawing superheroes and robots but I think he liked it anyway :) Done in gouache, I framed it too. Don't know whether to make a print of it for artsfest...maybe not, haha.

Night before Artsfest

Just about got everything ready for Artsfest. Had a bit of a malfunction with some of the T-shirts and I'm not happy with the modpens so they'll be left at home - only about 8 T-shirts are available to buy over the weekend (and at reduced price!). Sadly it seems that time has simply gotten away from me.

However there are plenty of prints and originals, many in nice frames, so feel free to drop by! I'll be doing some work there on the day as well, so I'm taking requests :) I hope people will like what they see and buy! This is my first actual attempt to sell any of my work so I think I'm understandably nervous.

Hopefully all will go well and I shall update after Saturday!
