WIP - Monster with blades

  • Seems to have been a while since I did a character design, and the first i have completed in a pen and marker technique!

    will post in exhibition section for crits etc.

  • currently re(x3)doing my illustration folio. Aiming to get it looking more 'professional concept artist' and less... stinky! ... no I mean less aimless illustrator ...less whatever it was!

    So fingers crossed this is latest work is on the…

  • 3rd in my series of roadster concepts- Overall theme of this personal project was to explore design variations within a roadster format.

    This addition to the series was created entirely in Photoshop (except the mags, I admit I appropriated…

  • The latest sketches from my sketch book, With a bit of colour added. Will post them to the exhibition section too for comments :)

Well it has been a while since I last posted any artwork isn't it! Latest digital painting below. Not sure how much more refined I should make it.

looking good, much improved. Not quite sure whats going on with the neck there though.. he only seems to have one below his chin. And the sqaurish line along the spine confuses the issue more when it hits the back of the head.
