Bat

I'm a bat! Just a little warm up from today.

Merlin and Archimedes

This is an illustration, done as part of my portfolio project, showing Merlin and Archimedes together with their final designs. I've done a lot of development work with these too and I'm glad they seem to be working together. I'd like to think I've finally got these guys down now! Time to move on to the next task! :)

Antelope

A little warm up for the week to try and get over that Monday hump! I do love spindly legged antelopes.

Amy Pond Pin Up

This is really the first time I've ever attempted anything like this and it was a lot of fun! I'm hoping to do some more in the future. This was a little illustration for my other half who has had to put up with a full week of post Iron Man 3 swooning over Robert Downey Jr. This is one for all the Dr Who and Amy Pond fans out there!  

Bowling Couple

These two were part of a painting that, unfortunately, just wasn't working. I got to the point where I felt it was better to just scrap it and start over. I quite liked the characters though, hopefully they'll be developed and seen again.  

Happy St. George's Day

Today is St. George's day! Here's a little quickie to celebrate the patron Saint of England. To read more about him take a look here - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint_George's_Day

Merlin's Hut

Here's some more design work for my portfolio project of a Polynesian re-imagining of The Sword in the Stone. I'm really much more of a character designer but I'm trying to develop my skills in other areas. The bottom image was done a few weeks before the final image (top) I wasn't happy with the relatively flat composition so I went back to doing a few thumbnails with more dynamic camera angles. I moved the hut back into the edge of the jungle to make it more integrated with the environment and also used a bolder technique which I prefer to the original image. Overall I'm much happier with the final piece!
