man of steel

Star Lord

I usually want to change or tweak characters costumes when i do fanart of them. but star lord’s design is just so badass he dosn’t need it.

Aeterno making of

 so this is a kind of making of video of a film I made.
 Anyone who says you cant have fun drawing dinosaurs is a liar.

Dungeon monsters

So me and a friend wrote and are D.M'ing a comedy dungeon. now it may be a comedy but its a dark comedy. so lots of discussing and nasty creatures within. some are creatures you can find in the bestiery but I wanted to do my own spin on them.  I will update more designs after the guys have encountered them.

black death city

ah man long time no posty. Its also nice to get back into a nice long painting after so long animating puppets and such. anyhoo this is for a pitch for a animation job i desperately want to get.
I often have trouble doing the mental mathematics required for drawing non natural structurs such as cars and especialy buildings. whereas landscapes, plants and figures (even clothed or armoured ones) flow, one shape eases into the other, man made objects seem to ridgedly stand in order often contradicting eachother. and if you mes up only a little you mess up the whole thing.
so just starting out with some creepy lop sided pre renascence buildings during the black death to help ease me in.  

legendary creatures that once ruled the earth

Thought I'd forgotten about ya eh? well ive been busy ok. to prove it here are some screen caps of the animation I'm making at the moment for Stuffed Fox films. Its been exhausting so far but hopefully it will turn out ok. I mean, who doesn't like dinosaurs?

wolf spector

for my friend Sam who's an old man now. you can find his awesome toys here.

the worst of times

here's a teaser trailer for the comic I've been working on when not animating. I'm hoping to get it ready to sell at my friend's stall at mcm. late victorian vampire slaying is in my opinion vastly under represented out there. you may recognise the main character from one of my erliest posts.

its taken me this long to get my arse in gear and get her story down on paper.

the Judge

"This is my claim, he said. And yet everywhere upon it are pockets of autonomous life. Autonomous. In order for it to be mine nothing must be permitted to occur upon it save by my dispensation."
this is the judge or judge holden from Cormac Mcarthy's blood meridian. a difficult but beautiful book in all its awe of nature and the easy violence dispensed in America. 
the character the judge is a villain of most astounding excellence and a character i'm still vaguely obsessing over. he fits easily into the slot of being Mephistopheles, but sometimes i still think he is the earthly embodiment of the American god. a cultured, educated, charming, passionate and evil man. 

A blasted land

30 min speed painting. i wanted to give this one a national geographic photograph feeling to this one.

A light in the forest

at the mountains of madness complete

so i took it upon myself to illustrate H.P Lovecraft's The Mountains Of Madness to see if i could still illustrate worth a damn. Im pretty happy with the result and I will be selling prints at the next london mcm. or hey, drop me an e mail if you'd like one, or the set!

the mountains of madness. part one.

these are part of a larger collection when its done will span the entire book. these are still tecknically works in progress but i like how they're coming along. Horror illustration is much fun to do.  

The imperial city

so this is my attempt at a more industrial environment. yes its just lots of blocks but i need to get out of just doing organic landscapes.
I thought it would be cool to make a militaristic imperial looking city but not make it look like London or Berlin. I've always had a thing for italian architecture so i thought it would be cool to imagine Rome or Florence if Mussolini had won. of course if Mussolini hadn't ended up swinging from a lamp post most of this would be white.

i will probably update this later with some flags n stuff.
