Another piece.

 [2010]

In the name of keeping this blog moving, I'm uploading another old piece. I completed this during my time at Topman Design and it was originally intended for a t-shirt.

New content again soon.

Back to the blog.

 

I feel that I should start posting my work again, drew these on blank receipt roll at work when it was quiet.

Much more to come very soon.

Astronaut

I'm consious that I haven't make a post in a while, so here is a picture of my girlfriend as an astronaut and a collection of quick sketches of spacemen taken from my sketchbooks. Nothing special, but somewhat relevent. Hope you enjoy.Starting work on my next animation today, I aim to have it done within a fortnight.

Visual News Feature

My work has recently been featured on the website visualnews.com. I would like to thank Paul Caridad for finding my work and approaching me about the article and Benjamin Starr for the upload.

It's the first time anybody has promoted my art in this way and it has already go my work a lot more attention, for which I am greatful.

The specific article about my work can be viewed here.

Also, I'm starting my next test animation today. It will probably take a few weeks as its far more adventurous than the last two, but i'll be posting other relevant work in the meantime.

More to come.

Animation ii

Finished my second test animation a few days ago.

It's made from 10 frames, each frame is about 10cm², drawn in fineliners and painted in watercolours. As it's only short and looped I felt it would be more appropriate as a .gif than a video.

Although it is pretty derivative of my usual style it is meant to be a simple practice animation to evolve a look for an alien character.

I plan my next test animation to be far more adventurous and combine elements of both this and my last first animation. I also hope to practice frame movement through scenery at some point soon.

tl;dr

Already fallen behind in making a post every day, so I'm changing the rule to every few days. Still working on my next test animation, should have it finished soon. For now I'm uploading a sketch that I completed towards the end of my University course that I included in a small book I made as part of my degree show. I wanted to upload it because I was looking through some old files and realised it shows the exact scenario I'm trying to depict in my animation. Enjoy.

Better posts to come as the project gathers pace.

Illustration i

For this project I intend to make a post each day with at least some content worth showing. However I have been at work all day and not had a chance to figure much out, so im simply going to post an old illustration I completed a few years ago called Stack of Glasses on a Table. I'm uploading it now because even thought its old, I feel that the severity of its plainness would suit my current ideas on how I want the alien entity I'm including in my animation to look.

Undoubtedly more old illustrations to come as and when I have busy days.
