super katie!

OK so I haven't really posted much up recently I've been working pretty intensely.
This is actually a present for one of my very good friends who is leaving Cardiff to go on to do better things!
So I decided to do an illustration of her as a superhero! I didn't want to do something simple I wanted to push myself so I chose to have a lot of fire and lighting in my image. I think it works quite well.

And oh if you cant tell, she's smoking a cigar. ( even though i have never seen her actually smoke a cigar)

I will put up the process of my drawing in a few days.


SUPER KATIE!!!! TO THE RESCUE!!!

Sea Sight.

i finally managed to finish this off, its looking pretty sweet. the lighting wasn't exactly how i imagined it, but not too bad!! i tried and tried to get that Disney smile but for some reason it just didn't work so i threw a beard on him, i think it suits him quite alot and then gave the mermaid a little mermaid feel with the red hair!

if you know anyone that wants illustrations done please email me or facebook me.

mermaid wip

I have this overwhelming feeling to do a mysterious mermaid piece. this is how far i got today, i can see it progressing into something quite nice. The hardest part of this is actually getting that Disney smile without making him look creepy!
the final image will be set at night so i am focusing on getting the lighting looking right. This is actually my first attempt at a well lit scene so I'm not hoping for anything amazing.

Rust concept art

Here are a few concept art pieces ive done for a game cinematic i am working on.
I recently saw Tron so there is a huge influence from that. I really like the Look of the neon lights against a black surface. There wasn't much direction for this artwork, it was more of me just going for it and seeing what i could come up with. The more i draw the more i remember how much i love it!

Dove

I went to a local pub today and right outside was large dove house, ive never seen anything quite like it.
so i thought id do a little piece.
hopefully more to come!

vader boy

a little sketch of boy vader playing around. this was literally a 30 - 50 min sketch, I'm really happy with this sketch actually.


and a slightly more updated version of it too.

Uptown girl.

I had an urge to do a drawing with this pose today! the drawing is ok, but i think i ruined it with the background!!

what do you guys think?

i am quite busy working on some pieces at the moment but here is a 30 min drawing i did to keep you all entertained.

Finished Genie

its been a busy day today! i managed to get this genie image done. I'm quite proud of it as one of my first character drawings. there are a few proportion problems but apart from that its looking cool.
I really want to work more on lighting characters and general scenes in illustration. I feel that it is the lighting that creates a magical feeling and thats all what I'm about.

Merry Christmas!!!

hope you all have a merry merry christmas!!!!

peace and love!

genie

yo yo yo
been working on a little genie today.
still a WIP the final image should look pretty cool

Afro Queen

I actually managed to finish of one of my drawings! I really had problems getting the face looking right. The face needs to be the most defined part of my character, because thats where everyone looks instantly.
After looking at my previous version i actually prefer the face of her than this one!

i might try updating this one day, but for i now im going to move on!

Thought of You

Thought of You from Ryan J Woodward on Vimeo.

I came across this video the other day, it is a magnificent animated piece
a very original idea.
the movement of both characters works incredibly enjoy

the video is from Ryan Woodward, a storyboard artist, animator and film-maker.

i started this one today.
its a nice little piece, i can see my work improving slowly, i hope you guys can too.

Winter Wonderland.

Here is a finished image due to the snowy times!!
This was a freestyle drawing, i can see my digital work getting better, but i still have a loooong way to go!!

face!!

Another quick sketch.
I am still messing around with different styles.

dark distance

This is an Experimental digital drawing ive done, its the first full digital piece i have ever done. I am actually quite happy with this! I have gone with using very few colours and just focusing on a style. With digital art you have so many tools at your fingertips its hard to focus on creating a style.

aliens are coming

a quick drawing before i go to bed.
its been a long day!
