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!

Practice, practice

Hey guys, I've been busy with uni work and with Victoriana so for now have a practice picture of Link! I'm trying to get used to sketching straight into Manga Studio with my tablet and using its tone settings ...Link is always a great source of inspiration.  View fullsize for the full impact!

And a quick kinda-self portrait drawn straight into photoshop because I haven't done much colour work recently:

And a quick note to say that I was featured on the Business Boom Collective HERE.

Artsfest 2012

Artsfest weekend was a success! Both Max and I had a great time running the stall at the Art on the Rails pitch in Centenary Square. We met a lot of lovely people, sold some artwork, and roasted in the sun. Some people I met last year also visited us which was great!

And as promised, here is the finished video game A-Z, A3 poster which sold out over the weekend. Can you name them all?

And for anyone who missed out on grabbing one at Artsfest, you can purchase the poster HERE.

Gaming A - Z (preview)

Artsfest is approaching, so if you're in Birmingham on Saturday or Sunday the 8th and 9th of September drop by the Art on the Rails to say hi to the wonderful Max and me! Here's a preview of an A to Z of video games I've played which I've been working on for artsfest. See if you can get them all!

Gaming icons

A few bits from a gaming A-Z zine I'm working on every now and again...ink brush and coloured in photoshop. Think these ones are obvious? Any feedback on these styles is appreciated!

My entry for a retro video game zine over at jgillustration.tumblr.com. Used to love playing Toe-Jam and Earl with my sister.

Comics are taking over my life

SSBB = Super Smash Bros. Brawl, a game that gets far too competitive but it's amazing~
Special colour version for you!

Information Illustration - Consoles

The dummy book cover and two colour final artworks for the information illustration project. 4th Gen consoles were painted in gouache, 6th gen were drawn by hand and coloured digitally.

6th Gen Console superflat!!

Illustrations for my current information project about video game consoles, these four are from the 4th generation (hard to believe we're on the seventh!). Traditional lineart and digital colouring; the flatness is epic.

4th Gen consoles

Some of the gouache paintings done for my Video Game Console project, the Sega Megadrive (aka Genesis) and the SNES :)

Video Games will Ruin My Life

As said, clearly I play too many video games. I blame this entirely on my friends. You know who you are.

Which is why I'm sharing a sketchbook page covered in Pikmin, due to epic amounts of time being spent playing Pikmin 2...
