Grad Show Pics

   

Some more promo sketches for the film I'm working on. I did these for my Fine Art Graduate Show. I didn't expect a great deal to come out of this, but I was pleasantly surprised to see that they actually turned out nicely :) Here's hoping that the actual film turns out half as nicely! 

Halfway Stage

Since its gonna be a while until I paint anything again, I thought I'd just put up what I've managed to do on this so far. The face is pretty much done, and everything else is just basic blocking

Mad Skills

Man Under Pressure

Been wanting to do a caricature of a sports figure for a while now, and I thought good ol' Arsene was a good choice because his face kinda lends itself to it. One day this might become a painting...we hope.

Poster

An attempt at a promotional poster for my upcoming short film "The Critic and the Sweeper". I think I like the colours I chose :)

Arthouse

Cover image of a Web Comic I started last year

Trolloc (I think)

I wanted this to be a Trolloc from the late Robert Jordan's awesome fantasy series "The Wheel Of Time" but it kinda just ended up looking like minotaur or something...

Sweeper Head Studies

Some early designs of a character from a film I'm working on

Bridges

Blocking stage of Jeff Bridges' character from the first 'Iron Man' film

Like Mike

A quick study I did of a friend of a friend of mine. He's the lead singer of the band I mentioned in an earlier post; The Comic Book Theory

Darryl

Thought it'd be cool to revisit a character I designed years ago. Might do something a little more with him later...

Rincewind - After Paul Kidby

Okay, so I've always felt REALLY uneasy about copying the work of other illustrators...mostly 'cause I don't feel I deserve to (especially when it comes to masters of like Paul Kidby)!. But jeez, I learned SOOO much from doing this quick study! So I reckon I'm gonna do a few more 'copies'. I'll never try to profit off them though...

More studies...

Life Drawing #1

Did this when I was stuck in Pretoria a couple of months back. Just a street outside the Ghana High Commission of SA.

Kimball Study

A quick study I did of a young Ward Kimball, one of the Disney Nine Old Men.

Some Portrait Sketches

Some sketches from my new sketchbook. Trying to keep it all academic and ish

The Comic Book Theory

Designs I did for my friend's band "The Comic Book Theory" earlier this year. I'll post a link to some of their music once I extract it from my friend.

Skinny Maori

The first post! Hopefully the first of very, VERY many. This is based on my interest in the Maori people, (along with all the other native peoples of the Pacific Rim). Also inspired by the Opening Ceremony of the Rugby World Cup (which was AMAZING by the way) which strongly featured the native people of the 'Godzone', as Kiwis call the country.
