Facility still...

2009-06-01T16:10:00.000-07:00

Haven't posted in a while i know, but i've had a few projects on the go-which will eventually go up but not yet. This is one that was finished today finaly! Started with an ambient occlusion pass(as shown) and then i just went in with textures, colour and re-doing a lot of the lighting.

experimental

2009-04-21T09:26:00.000-07:00

was just experimenting with brushes for this one....

He's only gone and done something he doesn't immediately detest!

2009-04-18T08:18:00.000-07:00

Lots of fun this was. After all of that though the bits i like the most are the tiny flower specks just dotted around the green areas....

Sunkissed skull mountain...

Castle...

2009-03-24T07:16:00.000-07:00

Castle concept.King lives up high protected,with a jet-esque engine lookout revolving around him,the poor live down in the smokey and polluted bowels of the castle...

Invasion of the forrest...

2009-03-20T10:00:00.000-07:00

Couple of quick sketches-there was a third but wasn't going to waste my time putting it up!lol.Top one took about 15 mins and the bottom one around 20mins.These were just supposed inspire myself abit for the project i'm doing at the moment and they have given me some ideas so thats good!Think i may have to open another blog to house this stuff...

The Hood...

2009-03-17T04:39:00.000-07:00

This is something Senior Nix and i are working on.Just whacked this up as i noticed my online folio was getting a bit background heavy, theres plenty more which will go up in due course.

Pollution Planet...

2009-03-09T14:51:00.000-07:00

GLOBAL WARMING!Yea this place-its all gone rubbish,airs naff, skys naff, Tv schedules naff; it's all naff!!!They've run out of fossil fuels and winds rubbish but fortunatly they worked out how to harness the power of lightning so they can keep thier George Foremans running...

A bridge too far..

2009-03-05T09:25:00.001-08:00

Well i thought i'd have a go at pulling some photos together and painting into them using "Kiss Chase in Space" as the influence. I'm not entirely happy with it (worst offenders being the bridges-it almost looks photoreal without them lol) but its something to build on i guess...

30 min desert sketch....

2009-03-05T09:14:00.000-08:00

Was stuck for ideas so i thought i'd go back to an old premise-which was my grad film. This is the colour/composition sketch i've just done quickly before i begin the main piece. It will have some bridge structures in it eventually but at this stage i'm not sure how i want them to look...

Port Side

2009-02-27T10:56:00.000-08:00

At first i was enjoying painting all the colour and vibrancy-especially after the dreary darkness of my last piece, but then i got bored and wanted to move on to something else....Killzone!Mwahaha!So i leave it here, don't want to overwork it too much-if i'd add anything it be a structure right in the forground!

waterfall sketch

2009-02-26T08:44:00.001-08:00

30minute sketch,may work a port/town into it later...

A dragon-guarded underground vault...

2009-02-25T06:52:00.001-08:00

Ok i usually like to paint a lot looser with paintings but on this one i thought i'd go with a more detailed one for a change. The lightings not perfect but the more arches i added in the more trouble i found myself in. I went a little mad with waterfall on the right-i'm glad i put it in, but i think its slightly too bright(i'll probably have another stab at painting water next as this was my first attempt) In hindsight a proper tech drawing first would have been better as a lot of the perspective is made up in places and the arches aren't all exactly the same-but i know for next time...

Quick colour skecth...

2009-02-19T05:46:00.000-08:00

Was planning on doing a piece based on the underground vaults of gringotts bank(Harry Potter) for a while now, so i figured i'd pull my finger out now that i've just began my unemployment.Its just a colour/lighting sketch-took around 45mins i guess, will most likely do a more detailed painting now i've got this to work from...

Lets Buggy....

Agrabah...

2009-01-03T10:36:00.000-08:00

The Aladdin Pantomime was on the other day, i was so offended by it i decided to do my own interpretation of Agrabah, was just a mood speed paint sketch,took nigh on 2 hours i think it was.

Sleepers...

2008-11-27T13:42:00.000-08:00

"Captain D.G.M Reynolds Esquire", asked me if i wouldn't mind creating a piece of concept for him, i didn't, so i did. It portrays a knight who was rewarded with an eternal rest in a tranquil forest;overtime he, his shield and spear become enveloped by the surrounding elements, but eventually he's awoken by something and is a bit on the stiff side...

Dragon Sketch

2008-10-23T11:29:00.000-07:00

Sketch of a dragon, thought I'd work into the design a bit more after the painting I'd done previously.

Dragonzzzzzz.....

2008-10-15T13:15:00.000-07:00

Hmmm...ok i reckon i've messed up the forground a bit,but i'll put that down to being out of practise with figure renders, so need to get back on that,think i've overworked it some what.Anyway, pleased with the landscape. Its influenced by the book "Brisngr"-tiz aboot Dragonzzzzzz.

Sand..

2008-09-08T09:22:00.000-07:00

Thought I'd have a go at a deserted/desert-scape warzone kinda place-just wanted to play with bounced light to be honest.Could be a lot better but it only took 2 and abit hours so I'm not going to lose sleep over it, and I'm just trying to get back into painting really.

more locations

2008-09-08T09:19:00.000-07:00

Influence was a church in Sheffield...and yes the spires supposed to be bent.

Just quick sketch, using a couple of ref.photos

Hunted in the woods

2008-01-05T09:11:00.000-08:00

There seems to be a lot of hunting going around over the past few images -not intended. This was really an exercise for me so i could break away from what i usually paint-i.e.machines and sci fi, so here i attempted something more natural and organic.

London hunts...

2008-01-05T09:08:00.000-08:00

This is London on wheels-or tracks, a city in motion anyway-inspired by the book "Mortal Engines" by Phillip Reeve.

This is my reel, some stuff is just me practising and some bits are from the films i worked on-the 2D short "Confessions of a Schoolboy", and also my grad film, the CGI short, "Kiss Chase in Space".

The First One...

2007-06-22T13:50:00.000-07:00

Well I've finally got around to setting my blog up but i have a suspicion that if memory serves i have forgotten the password already! Anyway, this is one of the early concept paintings i did for the film i co-directed "Kiss Chase in Space", a CGI animation graduation film, which will be finished as of Monday-unless anything else goes wrong! Hopefully i can add more work to keep my profile fresh and exciting and hopefully i will be able to sign in again, password permitting. Cheers.
