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.

Composition-Windwaker Reworked
After some research did some compositional work. The brief was not to use previous Zelda designs but keep the nautical theme plus include at least the main 3 characters. I decided at the outset to depict just Link, Gannon and Zelda. I also wanted to keep it to one wrap around image.
I started with some thumbs then picked one and did some comps. I took the one at the top and started doing some studies to bring to the image.

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.
