Study

Rounding off my weekend with a portrait study for you guys. 

I'm not entirely happy with his left cheek but I'm fairly pleased with how the colour turned out. As I should be doing client work I don't think I'll be taking this any further.

Enjoy :)

Lizard Cats and Crocodile Elephants

...Also known as Fossa and Guldai

I can finally share with you guys some art I did for the fantastic guys over at Kerberos Productions, these are a couple creature designs for their RPG Sword of the Stars: Freehold

They were great fun to do and I'm glad I can finally share them with you :)

Enjoy!

Sunday Character Sketchin'

Rounding off my Sunday with a nice round of character design.  This fella is from the same ship as Marinus I reckon. Gonna call him Vitus. 

The Immortals

I've been working on drawing characters in different costumes this week, so here's the latest pic - a character group for my portfolio.  They've taken a fair while to render but overall I'm pretty pleased.

You may recognise a few as some OC's of mine and Kovah's

From left to right they go Jerry, Iolo, Aysel, Cydric, Damien, Enoch, Nicks and Solomon

Marinus

I've had a couple days off client work this week so here's a character design for my portfolio. I decided to have a go a slightly more victorian / old naval uniform (with a pinch of steampunk awesomeness thrown in) rather than my usual medieval.

Which is fitting for this guy - Marinus, captain of the great sea ship Oceanus. He happens to come from a place where they use magic and science in equal measure, so he could either shoot you with a missile or maybe make a whirlpool beneath your ship. He hasn't decided which yet. Either way it will be...efficient.

Hup! - Two, three, four!

Happy Sunday everybody! Hope everyone's had a nice lazy morning :) Here's today's art update. 

With less than two days to go I want to remind you all, if you haven't already, to go take a look at Formula E over on Kickstarter 

It's a really great racing game with a rather hefty difference - instead of card or horses or even camels you race elephants! If ever there's an excuse to put on Colonel Hathi's March and break out the Amarula this is it.

(Yes I know Amarula is a favourite drink of African elephants not Indian ;), but trust me, the heftylumps won't mind.) 

Of course being the artist I may be a wee bit biased, so don't take my word on it. Go have a look at the vids on Kickstarter for yourself. 

Just for the occasion here's the cover I did for the box to get you all in the racing mood.

Iolo Nouveau

Don't want you guys to think I've forgotten you. Here's another art update for you. This one is an illustration I did to experiment with a flatter more art nouveau style.

Good Morning V

Wouldn't want to let you guys think I forgot today's art dump. So here's another for you.

Actually I've been a bit naughty here. I realised I have a bad habit of doodling heads whenever I get bored, which doesn't exactly teach me much. So I've decided next time the urge to head-doodle arises I shall resist and try something more constructive. I can't promise I won't slip though!

I spent yesterday listening to Bobby Chiu's 'The Perfect Bait' over at Schoolism - which was a really great listen by the way, go check it out here - and it gave me a much needed kick in the art pants. So lets see how this new verve goes!

Good Morning IV

I don't want to deny you guys today's art update so here's a more realistic Solomon from my final film Gums for you.

This was an experiment in adding the noise noise and aberrations you'd normally find in photos to make the image look more interesting and gritty. Overall I'm pleased with how he turned out.

Formula E

Good morning all! For those of you who've been wondering what I've been up to (and for those who haven't ;) ) I can finally show you one of the projects. 

Huzzah! 

Let me introduce you all to Formula E, an elephant racing game that has been a pleasure to work on and I know will be just as much fun to play. 

Please everyone go check the Kickster page to see the art, videos from the designers themselves and, of course, much more. 

Enjoy!
