Storyboarding update

Been storyboarding for my neo-noir project! Here are a few of the visuals to give you an idea what its looking like so far (with directions/text removed):

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.

Xmas Update

Hey guys, I've been working on Victoriana most of the holiday so far, but have been posting a few doodles and bits up on my sketchblog. It's going to be a busy Christmas but we'll see how much work I get done.
Here's a coloured sketch to prove I'm still alive!

More Character Design

 A continuation of the last post, here's some more character design stuff for my neo-noir movie. Inked by hand and then quick slap of colour on photoshop.

Our heroine (whose name i still haven't decided on - maybe Claire?) in some cool threads. She looks a bit moody, but then an old friend has just turned up dead on her doorstop so it might be excusable.

Anna is currently one of my favourites, which is a shame, since she spends most of the movie dead and only really appears in flashbacks. Here's the proof:

Finally, Liam, who gave me so much trouble and he's still being developed. Such a hard character to pin down! Slowly getting there.

Still a few more central characters to design, then on to storyboarding! I'm looking forward to it!

Character Design Process

Been working on some character design this week; these show you the process. This heroine is a young reporter whose friend has just shown up dead on her doorstop...

Eye of the Tiger

Illustrations for a narrative based on the song 'Eye of the Tiger' by Survivor.
In Japan they have these amazing embroidered satin baseball jackets that look very gangsta, which was the inspiration for this. I've also been experimenting with composition and dramatic effect. Feedback on these is appreciated!

Character Design

Been ill recently, so decided to redesign an old character of mine to make myself feel better. The new and improved Guardian!

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.

Shrimp, The Most Magnificent Sea Creature

The Most Magnificent Sea Creature, the Shrimp
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.
