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?

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:

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.

I ♥ Prometheus

Loved those Engineers.
Role on the sequel please!

Anyway, this started out as a character study for the Welcome to Planet Fuck guys.
Who'd have thought they're luck could have got any worse!


Yeah, you know and I know his Spanish is bad, but does he?

New Dimensions

One of the most exciting things to happen this year
will be the collaborations between myself and Michael Fichtenmayer at IndustriaMechanika
These scale model kits will feature some of my mech and vehicle works of late,
but randomly it starts with a character I designed over seven years ago, 
back when everything was on paper.
He was called Freaky Gothic, and he was some sort of alien trapped sometime in the 1800's.
Anyway, here's the original (2005) and the recent model sheets I created. 


 He'll form part of one of Michael's kits and will be modeled by
David Richardson. There's a possibility of a standalone 12" version though!
I will keep you posted on this and the other future model kits.

Workshop Lite

Some more of the workshop, heavily edited and at ultra high speed.
What that does show is how much I zoom in and out.
In, and Out.
 For me, zooming out is the only way to keep a check on things,
yet I need to zoom in for the clarity. Possibly a characteristic of the cintiq?
Anyway, Photoshop is mainly adjustment layers and gradients.
Oh yeah, and Illustrator for all the logos. 



I think this horse is now flogged.

Flexing muscles

These are for a sketch page but are warm-ups 
for todays work also. About an hours work. 
I'll tidy these up later for the final sketch page.
These were all drawn in position which 
is how I do most elements on a sketch page.
The link is to the actual working size image, 
I'm using a 2200x2200 canvas in Sketchbook Pro.

The gap on the bottom left will no doubt
 be filled with some poor tormented individual, 
bodily fluids or cock nipples etc.
