Sketch: Drive

Warhouse: Trailer!

Finally the trailer for a film i worked on a while back has come out!
Very very proud to have been part of this film and so it's coming with bad-ass trailer!
Take a Look:


I worked as the Concept Artist for this film, if you've read through any of my old blog you will have seen snippets of pieces I did, as with most films some designs made it some didn't, and some where taken out at the last moment, but that's just the way of the film making process.

Concept Sketch: Minor

This here is just a minor character from a book I'm working on titled porcelain, this guy is actually rather minor, but i was really happy with the sketch, from some feedback i've had hes to have some minor changes but essentially this will be one of our chaps. having a meet up to go over all the concept work for 'Porcelain' this week so hopefully after that's done and given the green light i can show some of the sketches I've been doing and the main characters.
I cant wait to get properly started on pages now!

Butterfly Gate: More colour tests

This here is a full page of our upcoming Web Comic 'Butterfly Gate' i'm still hammering away at some colour tests of the comic to see if we're happy with the way it's going.
if you've seen my previous posts about the BG colour tests you will probably notice a dramatic change in tone (compare here). Episode 1 of BG goes through about three changes in tone, with these shifts i'm hoping it will add a better depth in the atmosphere and feeling of the comic throughout, this page is actually the first sudden shift into a different physical area, which is aiming for a cooler and more uncertain feeling compared to the wide outdoor garden bathed in sun..

your more than welcome any comments or crit on my colouring or general work you see on here, i'm still very fresh and pointers never go amiss!

Tom Waits: Tom's Chin

I've been blown away by Tom waits over the past month or so, I was introduced to his music properly by some chaps from work and now i'm well and truly hooked so it was inevitable that i did some form of sketch of him.

Now It's hard to recommend a song as he's so diverse and has a few different sounds so go check him out yourself, meanwhile i will leave with this video which i do rather like..

Sketch: Polly Inspired

This Mornings warm up sketch, just had some fun.

Meanwhile i'm working at the design of the next comic i'm working on with Benjamin Read. We have a couple of separate comics in the works at the moment, one of them being 'Butterfly Gate' which will be an episodic Web-comic (trying to get a couple of issues in the bag before we release anything) and 'Porcelain' this is going to be a full graphic novel. as soon as the pre-work is done I'll be diving head first into that for a few months hopefully to get it out by early next year.
I'll post up some details on Porcelain when Ben and i have our next head bang about it all. i cant wait to show some of this stuff off and get stuck in on actual pages, Mr Read has crafted a beautiful story and we've been talking and brain storming it for nigh two years now so I've told myself to give it nothing less than my A game. so lets hope i don't disappoint!

Warm Up: Went All The Way

This is was just a warm sketch up as a favor for a friend, but i ended up completing it in full ink and colours, mainly used the practice of each stage as a warm up for the past few days.
