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 :)

Breath in Baby Doll....Work in Progress

Heya blog
I started this a little bit ago, Im not sure how its going.Trying to push my rendering a little further I guess.
Based on a sketch i did a couple of months ago, and heavily influenced by photography by Ibai Acevedo
Would love to know how you would make this better.

Speed Paint- Ice Queen

Heya guys, firstly thanks for all the ideas on the last post. The opinions and crits are much appreciated!
This is an idle doodle that i spent a bit of time on this evening. i guess i wanted to play with a lighter and cooler colour pallet to the last one. and for some reason i really wanted a red nose like santa. i should really plan out these things better though, i could have put as much work in and got something A LOT better if i thought more about composition and stuff, but i guess it was just a doodle...

Lotsa Love

Alex!

More of the same

heya blog.
just a more finished version of the last WIP. I guess i feel like this could be better, but im not really sure how to pull it off.

Also, ive started using Vimeo over Youtube. I really like it. you can control a lot more aspects, and you can even host HD. It really seems like a site designed for film/video makers. If your into video hosting and communities, check them out! This is just a more polished version of the ball throw animation I did a couple of weeks ago. the other animation i have mentioned gave me too much head pain, so its taking a holiday. for now :)

WIP Swamp Grazer

Sup blog!
this is a work in progress for an activity over at Satelitesoda. I guess this has about 6 or 7 hours all up. I'd like to pollish it up a bit further, but im a bit stuck at the moment. maybe I'll give it a bash tomorow. 'd love to hear thoughts about it before it take it further though.

lotsa love

Take that eyeballs!!!

all this concept art stuff is a bit stiff. my reason for focusing on it has recently evaporated, so now i just wanna loosen up a little. this guy was a doodle i did while waiting for some of my students to turn up. i spent a bitta time throwing some colours on it. tell me iff your eyeballs bleed!

anyway, ive had a good friend staying with me in my little hiroshima home for a couple of weeks. it was a good break from arting.

this is something i was working on before she came-
theres only so many times you can paint over something before you you loose the original idea completely. this guy is pretty redundant now. maybe ill pollish it into a finished piece some time.

love

Jungle time

this is me playing with some brushes in photoshop. i originally had a creature design in the center but i pussed out. i was too caught up in how the light would play and the design of the creature suffered. its a hard business trying to think of light, design, composition and pose all at the same time. i need to practice!!

i might take this further soon. if i can think of somewhere to take it. i was thinking of putting a giant stone sculpture/ancient city where the mountain is now, or maybe a hunter in the middle ground looking into the distance. we will see!
