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 :)

Work n Stuff

I thought rather than actually getting around to scanning and sorting out my latest sketches and stuff I'd make tonight's post about some of my recent professional work.

At the end of last year I was working with the PRA to animate some Promotional Trailers for Blue Tongue/THQ. It was a really fun project to work on, would love if you checked them out-


I think these are the 4th and 5th spots I've done with Deblob 2, but they are the only ones we are allowed to share online. You'll have to buy the game to check out more :)
I also got the chance to team up with Mighty Nice again to help them animate a spot for Artline. It was really great to work on designs done by two of my favourite Australian Illustration entities- Monaux (Karl Kwasny) and We Buy Your Kids. Fun little job.


On a funny little side note, I did an interview with The Design Federation a little while ago. If you're interested you can read it -here-

Mmmm I guess thats it as far as work I'm allowed to share. Hopefully some of the things I have going at the moment wont be too far off sharing. I wont hold my breath though.

Oh, I'll throw this in the mix too :) Part of a present I made for a friend. It ended up having some type on there too. Mr Darcy-
Hope youre well,
love
Alex

Fresh scars for old wounds.

So blog.

A few little tid bits of information.
Firstly, I got a new job working in Melbourne as a character animator. Its like a proper salary delio, so that means much less freelance for the medium term. Hopefully I'll be able to keep doing illo work for peeps though. I leave on Wednesday, and start on Monday. Big thing for me!!!
Secondly, Im not doing the DZ cover art anymore. The wolf pic above was my last submission to them, but as its no longer getting used I am sharing it. Check out they're latest release here. you can also get a taste of some of hype they've been getting lately.
Thirdly, I just wanted to say I am glad that I have been blessed with such lovely friends here in Brisbane. I am going to miss them all a lot. they are all loving, patient, and inspiring and I appreciate them with all of my heart.



much love
