I want to live in a Container House one day

Recently I was researching about modified shipping containers turned into studios and homes as a means of cheaper, recyclable living space.

As it happens I just completed a commission for something very similar - Accessory Dwelling Units! These are mini houses built on property or converted garages. They're pretty popular in Portland US at the moment.

Much thanks to my friend Jack for putting my name forward for the job! It's a speculative image, but here's hoping it'll lead to more work. If not - one for the portfolio!

I also did a few black and white drawings of tea leaves for another commission which sadly fell through.

And to top it all off, I've almost finished doing up the spare room into a study/studio room. I'm in shared housing so I wanted to make sure the room is usable by others as well! Once it's finished I'll post up some pictures here. All I can say is...thank you, IKEA!

More updates soon!

Spectrum Character Design

Hey all! Here are the updated character designs for the three main player characters from Spectrum (a mobile game concept I'm working on). You may have seen the initial designs on my sketchblog, but these are the relatively final images:

Scarlett, the close-range fighter type

Klein, the defensive builder type

Blaine, the long-range fighter type

And a bonus experimental gif of Scarlett! 

My business cards are here as well and we're all getting ready to head off to London next week so might be too busy to update for a little while, but will still be putting up some rougher work on my sketchblog. I'm also going to be doing a giveaway once I've completed 50 pokemon warmups, so keep an eye out!

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!
