Trying to avoid Clichés

"...by not actually placing my brush on the canvas!"

I came across this wonderous thing that lets you draw pictures using your voice only!

I haven't managed to get anything beyond pleasant abstract shapes from this yet, but it's very fun and I hope soon to get something recognisable here on the blog!

Apes! Colour Studies 1

Some colour studies for a film I'm helping out on. They're all painted on top of stills from the animatic, which you can see here.





More to come!

Fornax


Mostly marker pens and a touch of coloured pencil. This is the second character from a work in progress who'll be starring in his own animated short for my course.

Morning on Another Planet

I haven't posted here in a while, so here's a little piece I made today. It's kind of an experiment for a technique that could be better used in the future.



The sun and sky were added digitally, and besides the green tint would you believe the rest is a macro photo of a pint of beer?

Elwood in the Snow


A work in progress that I've kind of abandoned for reasons... anyway, enjoy what I did so far!

Nebula, in Progress

A star field background with some nebula action going on. Nothing too flashy or eye catching, there's going to be some foreground activity I don't want overshadowed. The first picture in this post, actually.
