The pose is a tad retarded, but I'm pleased with the eyes.

Jeff

This is Jeff. He's got nasty owners who fight him like a pitbull. He just needs cuddles.

Sad little sub. A bit TMI, but it was a fun painting exercise. Learning about where to put detail and where to leave it out.

Image Dump

Here's a few images I've worked on in the last few months. Projects are sparse at the moment since being short staffed at work. It would be awesome to illustrate full time ^_^

So I am really loving the learning process of digital painting right now. This has been sitting on my desktop, unfinished, for around a month. Finally happy with the result, though I can stil see a lot of potential for future improvements (those bloody eyelashes!) Lots could be done to make it more interesting too. I'll leave that for another time. This could be one of those long term projects to revisit every few years. Yes!

Cat Goblin

I have recently been watching a lot of Jim Henson productions and decided to goblinify my cat for giggles. It's quite tempting to do a series of these.

KEEP CALM. YOU'RE A PIEON.

Food Diary. Day Two.

This was a brilliant day by the sea side with an old friend.

Food Diary. Day One.

I have set myself a food diary project. The plan is to illustrate what kind of day I've had using the food I ate. For example, I drank 8 cups of tea and ate snack food on a day that I spent drawing at my desk.

Eye Sketch

I love love love drawing eyes.

I've been experimenting with my new Bamboo recently. I'm aiming to really up my standard this year, so I've set multiple projects each week to keep me going. Here are some recent bits and bobs:

The first ever attempt at drawing something entirely with a Bamboo tablet. It was such a headache!

Man with excellent beard. He needed drawing.

This is the Red Queen. A rough character design for a commission.

Rough Door-mouse/Rat-man design. For the same commission.

Officially Available in Leeds!

This weekend was officially the best ever. Two sets of my limited edition prints are now available to buy at The Juju Shop in Leeds Corn Exchange! The shop itself is gorgeous. Filled with a mish-mash of hand made goodies, doodads, nicknacks and thingies that you just have to rummage through. I nearly didn't make it to the store due to flu, but my Super Dad saved the day and drove me there himself. Thanks Dad!
