Some old stuff (2004!) that still stands up I think, but has never seen the light of... the internet. So here it is.

"Bring me the head of Dorothy Gale". WIP.

Continuing with that funky technique.

---

2011-03-30T09:51:00.000-07:00

Still a bit 'colourised Laurel and Hardy' at the mo, but man it's fast...

Kind of approaching something toward a 'technique'.... maybe I'll be able to finish off some old stuff.

Inspired by...

2011-03-05T09:08:00.000-08:00

Found some more old stuff. I'd rigged this guy in maya, then animated a walk.

Stuck it on a devkit with an eyetoy on my desk... stepped through the anim frames of the CG guy one by one, but also 'colouring in' the real paper floor as he went!

Pointless, but fun Harryhausen-ish back-projected wierdo mashup!

Cat

2010-11-09T13:33:00.000-08:00

I don't often post 'work work' here, but I've been busy with 'work work' so thought I'd post something from 'work work' a few years ago now, to keep things rolling.

I worked as concept artist on 'Playstation Home' up to launch. This was a design for a downloadable 'cat' suit, modelled, textured etc by the uber-talented Roger Hudson.

Designed to work 'over' one stock human rig, hence facehole mouth, knee-skinning-encompassing, belly bulge. I think on the day perhaps I may have also been looking at baboons. I still like him though.

I think you can download this fromPlaystation Home now, though last I saw he had recieved a luminous pink and yellow update.

Fear? Nostalgia? Dawned on me it's coming up to ten years since leaving uni. Most of this stuff is from then, shortly before of shortly after.

Will soon* be archived away in my new revamped website (*as and when I get round to it). Meantime, keeps the dust off the blog.

It'll never replace the 'proper' medium etc etc, BUT....

Been using the 'stumpy pencil'...

http://stumpypencil.blogspot.com/

..watercolour photoshop stuff. Nice!

Block in colour and get a scruffy tide mark with one brush (almost like blocking in colour with a pastel), then soften everything with another brush. A layer 'style' does most of the tide mark work, really comes into it's own when you start adding extra layers... as if the new layer is going over the top of the previous 'dry' layer.

Link in the blog to the free brushes broken, try this...
