Monster Mashup!

This would make a great wallpaper for a newborn's room don't you think? Maybe glow-in-the-dark?

Builds character.

London..In the year 2000

Sadly, there will be no flying red buses.

This is a finished version of onother one of the pieces that I did for the Under Tommorrow's Sky project. The previous version up on the site is quite different and I wasn't quite happy with it. I kept the main elements but gave it more of an illustrative and graphic treatment with a bit more color.

Somewhere near Nowhere...

This piece started off as only the desert vehicle, loosely based around the color silhouettes from below. It slowly turned into a story... maybe David Attenbourough in the future, on Mars...

London

The images above will (hopefully) make sense to London commuters of a certain age... All three were prepared digitally for a screen printing class. I ended up printing the one on the left as it was the simplest one to start with.

Another batch from a while back. I did a ton of these abstract environment concepts for a game called Mircrobot which takes place in the different systems of the human body. Lots of fun and a lot different than the usual concept material

The Unknown

Digging some more stuff out from the past. These are some of the concepts I did for Alp Altiner's The Unknown project.

UNDER TOMORROW'S SKY

Some of my work will be part of this ongoing exhibition exploring visions of a future city.
Here is a final version of one of the sketches I did for the project.

Cog & Turbine

... is a project that my friend Daniel Cox has been working on for which I did some concepts a while back.

Desert vehicle designs

I had these sitting in the depths of my hardrive for an unannounced project from some time ago. They were just black silhouettes, and since Ive been doing more car related stuff, thought I'd dig them up and give them a quick color design treatment.

Color Boards

Couple of colorboards from Guardians of Ga'Hoole

and a couple from The Waterhorse

THE CHASE

This is a piece that started off a while ago as an illustration for another collaborative project with Daniel Cox. I thought I'd dig it back up as I wanted to explore a bit more the graphic popart style using photos, type, shapes etc... I tried several different versions and settled with this one, although I will probably look back at it in a while and think its too busy. It was a lot of fun, but after using the pen tool for the first( and last) time, I'll be sticking to a pencil!

Sketches for The Servant

I haven't done much of animal drawing/character design so thought it would be a good opportunity to do some studies to get into the habit of drawing monkeys/apes, before moving on to a more stylized final design for the protagonist of "The Servant" (See below).
Referenced pencil drawings, scanned and colored in photoshop.

More Costume Sketches

Taking some sketches from figure drawing sessions and dressing them up digitally.

Some Digidoodles...starting from reference then improvising, some more than others

Digital sketches for Harajuku Spy character below

The Servant

The idea and name of "The Servant" was originally proposed by my friend and colleague Daniel Cox with whom I've been collaborating with on a couple of projects.
I'm further developing the designs and story which I would ideally like to see as an animated short or storybook. Originally, I had laid out the the whole thing in a 22 page comic format of which I pulled some frames from. More stuff to come...
