just part one of a quick study will be finished soon :D

Just a quick sketch

I did this after watching avatar, i really think them heli's are brilliant! this is just a civilian transport.

Flesh Vechicles

These are a few various concepts designs for flying vechicles i looked heavily at squid and octpus for refrence and inspiration. This was just a personal brief i gave myself 10 mins to throw up each design. just trying to puch myself to see what i could coume up with in a time limit.

Riot officer designs

Just a few quick designs done in about 1hr. I will have the greyscaled versions up soon.

Atom Hawk

I saw this competition tweeted by a concept art company to design a movie poster around the name of the of their company Atom Hawk, i ran through a list of different ideas and era's that i could pursue and finally rested on the idea of a B-movie with the hero named Cap Hawk, Atom Hawk here's some of my preliminary sketches and ideas as well as a more final image.

Thumbnail Brief

This brief that i have given myself is one of the outcomes of me talking to a concept artist who works for Rare, I was asking for advice with landscapes and he said that once i did 100 landscape thumbs i would start to feel it gel. I took this as a challenge under the thought that i would only get better through practice so here is the outcome.

Editorials

This is something that i have been working on recently, I took an article from the I newspaper on the possibility of trains in london becoming more cramped and expensive in the future. I started out with the first idea that came to mind, which was people being crammed into trains like Sardines. So at first i drew them as Sardines.
After talking with my tutor, we decided to have a look down the root of changing the Sardines into people who look fish like.
Throughout this illustration process i have found the later stage of drawing people like fish the most challenging, i also struggled with making the image look cramped and busy aswell as making the image flow and communicate the idea across easily.
Due to this fact i did a turn around and i am now using my original ida as it is simple, gets the idea across straight away and it flows the only problem is that it doesnt really look like a train enough.

Here's an image iv done for Doomedpatrol.blogspot.com as a request. Not that its a bad thing to draw women in skimpy clothing but, my original idea was to comment on the fact that most women in games have few clothes on but rarely get more damage then fully clad guys :O

Platform 2011

Well im really happy with this, thanks to Mike at G-west i have been asked to put some of my art up on the Platform 2011 website the Showcase website here -> http://platformexpos.com/showcase.html

T-shirt Commision

Here is a St. George's day t-shirt commision that i have done over a few days. The client asked for St. George to be spearing the dragon as is traditional and for it to be placed on the back of two polo shirts. The polo's will have his name over a shield on the chest on one and his brothers on the other. I realy did quite enjoy this brief as it has been years since i have drawn knights and dragons.

Character Designs

here are just a few updates to my other concept art project, just working on sketches at the moment will flesh out with colour later.

Games Design Collaboration

My illustration class have been contacted by the Games Design students asking if there was any of us who could do some concept art for their late 70's horror game. Joe, Abby, Ian and me put our names forward. we late went to a meeting to find out the details of the job at hand, Joe and abby said that their style would not work with what Paul wanted for the game so i have over 2 days come up with s a few ideas for the chars and monsters, will do a colour render and mood setting piece soon.

Technology

If it was not for my love of the concept art industry i believe i never would have been introduced to a graphics tablet till later life. I most proberbly would have aimed to become a wildlife or childrens book illustrator instead. Due to this technology has started to have a greater infulence upon my life and my work, if found i have been using scanners more and more and when they arn't working i revert back to taking a photo of my work.
The internet is also one huge advantage to getting an individauls work out and to be seen by the masses. There is also the oppertunity to get work, see places you'll nerver travel to in your life, gain inspiration for artists on the other side of the world and images of creatures you would never come accross in everyday life. These are some of the many positives to having technology at our fingertips.

First ever landscape

My first ever landscape, im quite pleased with how its turned out i think iv managed to get the atmosphere and the early mist in the background right. Just need to practise some more will post more later.
