pod pilot - manga style

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

    Brief was fairly open: Barbarian Warrior, something along the lines of Conan.

  • More additions in my folio redesign. I'm done with creatures (for now) and on to environments.

    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 :)

  • Yet another painting in my Architecture series, possibly the last one for this batch. Definitely the most finished one so far, although technically still a WIP (I've glossed over the ocean for starters)

    It will be added to my thread in the…

  • This time some architecture/city-scape concept sketches. I have done very little of this type of subject matter in the past (virtually none!) so I thought it would be a good subject to have a practice at.

    As with my previous postings, I…

  • Sketches examining a roman/greek style guard. This work in progress has been posted in the Exhibition section for comments/crits.

    ...I will get onto an avitar soon!

  • sketches in progress. Still needs some technical design aspects addressed (thanks for the feed back folks)

This is a project that I started with the intent of entering it into a competition run by Wacom. But I started it WAY too late and didn't make the deadline. A month of working on it on and off (enthusiasm wained for a bit post comp deadline) I have finally finished*!

Technique is a bit long winded and included doing all of the line work at vector art to ensure smooth flowing lines.

*apart from the multitude of small changes I am considering

thats really cool, great work on the personality, lighting and background.



the fingers look a bit strange to the hand (hand could be less broad but that would mess up proportions) or line work for fingers simplified/ fingers made thicker.



would be tempted not to have a line under the jawbone above the neck, and to change the shape of the highlight on the left shoulder to suggest a bit more connection of deltoid to pectoralis
