Monkey Up

Earlier this year I teamed up with the PRA to design their first Mobile platform game for 2Play Mobile. It was a really quick after hours gig, but was loads of fun. Hope you enjoy!

The final scrolling background, and the original concept I deliverd.

The Character concept.

Some Exploration sketches.

Million Faces.

Hi there blog, This is a part of a really quick, really fun job I did for a client a couple of weeks ago. I was commissioned to pitch a character design template that could be used to populate a game.The first drawing was the template I pitched, and the following drawings are examples of the way the template could be used.

The design wasn't chosen in the end, but it was a nice way to spend a Sunday.

I have a couple of fun things I want to share over the next week or two, so drop by again soon :)

Sketchening

A few months ago I made the decision not to show my sketchbook to anybody. Not even if they asked really nicely. I did this mainly because when it comes to drawing, I have an ego. Its embarrassing to admit but its true. I like to think that I'm ok at drawing, and I like to think that my peers think the so too. If I'm sketching in my sketch book and there's a chance that other people will see all my ridiculous ideas and shitty sketches I tend to get afraid, and draw something I already know how to draw. Thats not what I want from sketching. I know that to get a good idea I have to work through 9 really bad ones. I cant skip the bad ones. They are part of the good one. So I stopped letting people look through my sketchbook. Now I love drawing more than I ever have.

Because you are my friends I want to share a few pages of my sketchbook. Im not saying these are the good ideas I've mentioned. Just ideas I thought were funny or kind of got into. None of them well drawn or executed, but they were fun. Hopefully the well drawn good ideas will surface over the next few months/years.

An idea for a poster I was asked to make.

I love "There Will Be Blood" the "Fuck" is a study from A Type of Show exhibit

I caught a plane the other day

Theres an amazing pie shop near my place in Newtown called Pie Tin. Its good for drawing.

While I was at Dr D I got a lot of drawing time as I waited for shots to come through.

My good buddy Simon Westlake.

In other life news. I finished working on Happy Feet 2 a few weeks ago. Im now working with the super great folks at Mighty Nice. I should be able to release some really fun work I've been doing with them v soon. Stay tuned! Oh and I'm also studying with iAnimate. Which has taken up a lot of my time, it has been a pretty big factor in not posting anything lately.
Hope you're all well
Alex.

RealReel

Heya friends.
So I cut together a new Reel yesterday. Unfortunately most of the work Ive done in the last 12 months still isnt available on the web, I will have to keep working on some personal 3d stuff to rectify this.

If you would like to see some of my newer work, write me an email, maybe we can hang out and I can show you in person :)
