abandoned in paradice

Gad zooks a post! its been a long time since I got to do some personal work. I really need to brush up on my skills before they get too rusty and i fall out of the game all together.

Neon Shadows rough preview

Still pretty raw but theyre geting there. expect more and better updates in the future.
after trying and failing on many occasion to write draw and colour my own comics i decided to just pack it in and do it but no colour as my tiny brain cant handle all that.

villain

so this is the villain from the comic I'm working on. yes I know he's the usual tron/ raiden rubber suit getup bullcrap.But i wanted to subtly change his anatomy to make him slightly off. the arms and legs are too long and his shoulders are basically non existent. giving him a sort of muscular corps feel. I imagine he would move like a panther or some big predator and would kill using his hands. That and the intense angular shapes to the head I wanted to convey a element of masculine beauty mixed with something grotesque. A bit like pyramid head from the silent hill film.

orrible istories

Some time ago I managed to work on the horrible histories game AD/BC's tome tour a rotten rehearsal. for the BBC.  Not only did i get to contribute to a franchise I have loves since i was a kid, but i also got to work with a great team and spend most of the days drawing funny and awesome stuff. if i could have more commissions like this I would be a very happy monster.

old assassin

trying to step up my painting skills. a little more work and i should be as good as i should have been a year ago.

Mo mr Mond I expect you to die

trying out a new painting technique. Yes i know his face is a mess but yknow. baby steps. 

Dark Knight Rise

Bam! fanart bitches.

on soft black wings i will come

Speed painting is fun. I wish i could do it all day.

City accross the sea

Good loordy loo this took far too long to make. I am semi pleased with the water.

Merc pilot

During the second world war in china ant the pacific theater there was an influx of mercenary pilots liiking for glory and cash. they where a mismatched group of retired or disgraced world war one pilots, stunt fighters looking for the latest thrill and even airline pilots who wanted to test their metal. for the life of me i have no idea why there are so few stories about them. not sure how many women pilots there whee but i bet there where a few. anyway. here's to them. those crazy sonesobitches.

Drive

Drive was a surprisingly good film. this shot does not actually exist in the film but i thought it looked good as an illustrative composition. as you never know the drivers name, his face is hidden, but I would be stupid to not show the scorpion on his back.

unexpected

Ive recently been toying with the idea of doing a series of pinups and artwork of a more erotic nature. I have a great love and respect for the pre and post ww2 pinup painters, and I thought that would be a good start. its funny how important the use of line work is in paintings such as these. loose it and somehow the charm of the painting is diminished.

anyway. enjoy.

complaints to the usual POBOX address.

Horror Show

calling nostromo

I'm looking forward to Prometheus this summer. the scenes from Alien on the hostile planet are some of my favorites from the film. the mystery that slowly unravels of the mysterious ship is so tantalizing I cant wait for the back story.
