2D Artist

I was called on to provide designs for the rocket and space-station for the Cadbury Crunchie Spaeways tv commeicial. Ultimately the rocket only makes the briefest of appearances and the space-station doesn't appear at all. but I thought I'd post this up here since it's been a while...

Seems a while since I've posted any 2d work! This little painting is a revisited character concept that I originally did as a model sheet excercise (it's was posted here some time back).

Created in Photoshop :)

Hey, now based in Oslo, Noway, working on Age of Conan - Hyborian Adventures. There's been a great deal to do, not only workwise but just getting settled etc. So far, despite some homesickness and missing friends and family I'm enjoying myself. And the women are gorgeous :) (I had to say it)

be well

Looks like I'm moving to Oslo in mid June. More Anon...

A revisited personal project. The original project was a set of different air/space craft finished to a pen and marker stage.

This piece was created entirely in photoshop.

finally managed to get some thing done to post to the mod concept art thread!

Refining the processes of creating a character concept and model sheet. all tone and colour added in Photoshop. Initial drawing were pencil on paper.

This is a reworking of an old concept that I'd done in 2003 for an undisclosed project. The concept was for a rapid depolyment VTOL personnel dropship. Markers used.

I have finally invested in a tablet :) and this as the first more-or-less finished painting. Created with 'Corel Painter Essentials' and some minor photoshop work too.

Finally recharged the markers and got around to doing some sketching again! These images are sketched by hand and coloured in P'shop.

Well... this is my final painting for the current 'quick activity'. Painted in Photoshop. see thread for more details on process etc.

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 right track.

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 them.)

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 exhibition section, feel free to add a crit on it.

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 have added a thread to the exhibition section for comments and crits.

Pen and marker concept with elevations for a VTOL lander. For a personal project.

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)

I have been sketching some quadruped vehicles recentily (a topic that I have not had a lot of practice with.) I am also experimenting with colouring techniques > Aiming for a fast technique that helps to describe the forms/volumes, and matches my sketchy pencil work. I might submit this image in the forum too as I would appreciate feedback/crit's.

You can hide under the bed for only so long... It has been quite some time since I last shared my illustration work with a audience! This one was done for the 2D quick activities. I have been getting into character sketches recentily and have started experimenting with adding colour to sketches with photoshop.

(this is just a test, please ignore this entry)

Here is some of my old work.. the first pic is of a 3d model of a human head I was working on about 2 years ago in 3dsmax, using nurbs. If I had to do it again, I wouldn't model a head with nurbs - it just took way too long for me. I'd go with box modelling. I also did a head earlier with patches. Never again.

The second pic is some sketching I did.. about two years ago also. Just a pencil on a4 print paper.

The final picture is a collage of Deluxe Paint pictures I did about 8 to 10 years ago on an Amiga 500. These pictures had a palette of 32 colour at the most.. lo-res was about 320x256, so some of these pictures would have fitted the entire screen.
