Saxon Stories Faces

What's this? Another update? Yup!

I've spent the last hour or so with a nice mug of tea, curtains closed, listening to Chris Oatley's interview with Brett '2D' Bean (which was a great listen by the way), and sketching Beocca. Hoorah for cosy, rainy, summer evenings ;)

Tomorrow it's back to work but hopefully at least a few of his companion's will be joining him in the future. (Once again I can't recommend the series he's from, Bernard Cornwell's the Saxon Stories, enough. Go check them out!)

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.

Steampunk Ninja

Two awesome words. I did this a couple weeks ago actually as part of an art test, I didn't get the gig but I'm quite fond of this fella anyway and I figured there'd be no harm in posting him. Enjoy :) 

Sexy and She Knows It

A present for Kovah of her character Damien, inspired by some pretty cool dress designs she did for her.

Monday

Some Monday artings in between work.

Trying a new design for Sol's dad - the Count, and a quick angel portrait.

Southern Faces

A couple of portrait doodles, done just for the fun of drawing different people. It's interesting trying to make the group share similarities but give them each their own personalities.

Pluffy

Because Iolo is prone to be both plump and fluffy...and bow legged apparently.

He is not happy that I let you see him in his underwear.

Boo

After spending most of the summer and this first semester drawing angels it's time to move on to my next project so to celebrate here's a concept piece for my final film. Is somewhat of a relief to work in dark colours after looking at bright purple and yellow all week ;)

This is just a test to work out character designs, lighting and colour scheme and probably won't be the exact final look of the film but it has the feel I'm looking for.

I don't think Solomon is too pleased about his new friend.

Vampires...

As promised here are the vampire sketches, I'm still working out the design, as you can probably tell.

Lil' Sol

Another doodle of the child version of my vampire Solomon. I have quite a few sketch-pages full of this guy trying to settle on his design for my final film idea, I may scan them in and post tomorrow. For now enjoy.

Solly

A very quick concept doodle of a character for a possible animated short idea I'm mulling over

Some Doodlin' Take 2

An early celebration sketch for Halloween, some rp characters, waaaay :P, these are some of the vampires from the story, the 'wierd' ones anyway. The normal Bela Lugosi types prefer not to be seen :P

Some Doodlin'

Just messing about with a new rp char who is as of yet still unnamed and hasn't even appeared yet, so a bit preemptive I know

Tafti Update

Just updating with some Tafti stuff for Feathers. Some character thumbnails and a short yaw animation to test the colour scheme I'm thinking of going with,

Hugs

UPDATE: Finished

A pic I've been meaning to do for a while now... Enoch and Damien finally together. Taken from a scene early on in the rp where they first meet up and despite his expression Enoch was actually quite shy, Damien just likes teasing. 

Working on a new piccy :)

Getting there....but not finished yet...

Been tweaking the heads this morning

More ASOIAF

Oh Skahaz, you're so melodramatic and ott but I love you none the less.

Another ASOIAF fanart doodle for you guys, this time a minor character from the latest book. I wont give any spoilers but I will say I loved all the easterners. While Dany herself annoyed me her supporting cast made her chapters fun to read, especially the locals. Hizdahr may be next, or Reznak

Fire Below

Whoo finally done this one :), merely 3 days or work and roughly 200 layers later :P

UPDATE: Messed around with the composition a tad
TAKE 2: More messing about and settling on a final, final version I swear ;)
