2013. The Future is a WIP

Many thanks for all the support, feedback and love in the last year,

my first full year of freelancing.

I hope to be able to share with you much of what I've been working on soon.

In the meantime, here's a small part of a WIP.

And here's to wishing all of you the best in the coming year and beyond.

Autodesk Tutorial

Thanks to Chris Cheung over at Autodesk for arranging all this. 

Some of you will have seen most of the samples,

but the tutorial and downloadable brush set are new and

so is my voice (apologies...)

It's filth don't watch

Live Storyboarding

Old piece, created 'live' while the Art Director and

Game Director talked through the level.

Equaly scary and fun.

And rough.

Promo Pitch Piece

Some recent-ish concepts for a TV promo piece.

Done with the good folks at Future Deluxe.

More here:

Process

Here's the before and after on the previous concept piece.

And here's some of the assets:

Ttattoos drawn in Sketchbook Pro,

the textures are my own photos, and the logo was

created in Adobe Illustrator.
The tattoos are of course a rip-off of Sailor Jerry's work.
Any similarities are intentional.

Concept Art

Here's an example of my current rendered work.

This is a personal piece to show off the technique 

as most other examples will be tied up in NDA for many a year.

So something to show you guys and a portfolio piece too.

Sketchbook Pro for the underpainting and tattoos,

Photoshop for the matte overlays.

I'll post up the sbpro vs ps comparisons next week.

Then I'd better do a front view.

Canned

These guys were for the same project.

The credit for the cat in the baby carrier goes to the AD.

And pretty much everything else.
Pitch work for a soft drinks ad.

Turns out it's the guy on our right who's the Democrat.
Who'd have thought?

NOT DEAD

just busy.

love, C.

_BLANK...

Sketchpage

While I never intend these to be a single illustration as such I like them to flow.

This one is somewhat disjointed I think, possibly as it was done at higher res? 

Sketchpage Inking Capture

This starts off real-time (though I think

the capture feels laggy) and kicks up

the playback when the audio starts.

Might be a bit drowsy otherwise.

and the actual working size:

BLAKBOX

just some render practice.

 

Sketchpage Capture

okay, so in keeping with the foul language of late,

here's a capture of a motherfucking boat.

Sketchbook pro. Brush 02/New ink Brush. 

I will 'ink' over this sketch at some point.

The boat and bird are referenced.

Sorry it's not some crazy animal shaped -or spurting- body part,

but all the images on that page are from my own

reference, so it tends to be fairly 'normal'. At the moment.

Also, this is at 4x speed, so roughly a 20 minute sketch.

 

IDLM

This was intended to be a fully rendered/matte

piece for the portfolio. But fuck it, it's Monday.
