A diary of my adventures in art from painting to 3D animation. I have added work over 10 years so it has become a record of my changing abilities and interests. Contact me if you have any questions.

Roses - Oil Painting
Roses Oil Painting |
Had not done any oil painting in a while. Valentines day rolled around and there were a lot of roses on sale so I took the opportunity. This was going to be a very conventional still life but it drifted away form it pretty fast. Drew the roses in pencil - it was really nice sketch. Went over it with acrylic and it got obliterated so I just dove in with the paint. I completed the background in the next sitting. Sorry about light - energy saving bulbs- not so great some times.

After Arkhipov Along the River Oka Masters study 2

Arkhipov Along the River Oka |
Following the last masters study,completed at Christmas, I made another one by the same artist. This one was completed in a much shorter time frame maybe 6 hours over a few evenings. All done in Photoshop and about 95 % of it was made with one brush. These are a blast to do and not as demanding as the challenge work I have being doing. I think I need to put what I have learned from these into practice.

Bloodsports 6 Challenge hunter design
Hunter Design Bloodsports 6 Challenge |
This was the submitted design for the Bloodsports 6 hunter creature design challenge. Design a hunter - before hunt. Then the creature which was the subject of the hunt and finally the hunter sporting the hunting trophy. I didnt go for the obvious armour and instead went for something a little more internal. Anyway the creature which went along with this design is posted here.
The hunter is somewhat unfinished and I will return and polish it.

Water Flea Study for Bloodsports 6
Water Flea - Photoshop study |
One of the National Geographic Best Micro-Photos of 2011 (Joan Röhl, Institute for Biochemistry and Biology/Nikon Small World).
Started out prepping for this challenge. I had already decided that this was going to be a water dwelling creature. Did not want to get into the fierce beasties as I know I need way more practice with those. I really liked this image of a water flea - limited pallet - something know I need to practice on plus the idea of being able to see internal organs.

Miyazaki Re-Marketed! - final |
Here is the version submitted for the Miyazaki Re-Marketed! Bloodsports Challenge. As ever I would have hoped to put some more time into this. I think I may go back and work on this a bit more. I have to say the detail I looked most in this was this-
