Villains

Mr. Freeze: One of my favorite villains from the Animated series of the 90's. Despite the wonderfully awful portrail of him in the film Batman and Robin, He is an intense, deeply tortured figure, longing to save his wife from perpetual death

Villains

Joker: I like the concept of this character. One of the most iconic villans around. I wanted to show the collected calm yet crazy in this painting.

Villains

Hi.I've been away for a while. Busy at a job I can't talk about. I have also been lock out of my blogs for a while. But sorted now. Here are a few rough sketches of some loosely painted characters from the Batman Franchise. I've also included a colour design test sheet to show what the colour scheme might turn out like.

Asset Style test

Here are 2 game assets that I had to create for a test. One was a Pagan Altar for an Island god game, the other a broken wagon for a wild west game. The purpose of the test was to duplicate the style of the examples provided.

Alien Ninja Turtle: Final Painting

Okay, so here is the final version of my Alien Ninja Turtle. As explained in an earlier post, This Turtle like creature comes from a tribal race of tall, warrior aliens. I have enjoyed doing this painting. I could of gone crazy with the Idea that the new Turtles film would have alien ninja turtles as apposed to the mutant variety we all know and love. I chose to keep it more believable, and give the turtle a build more suited to a ninja that a shorter, heavier turtle/human we have seen before. Hope you enjoy.

Alien Ninja Turtle Colour: WIP.

Now this is getting close to the final image. I will add so texture and additional detail to this painting.

Alien Ninja Turtles WiP

Work in Progress. I am using a mixture of techniques to see if i can get a really atmospheric look to my painting.

Alien Ninja Turtle Development

I have chosen this version of one of the Turtles to work up into a painted concept. This version is more of a Tribal Alien race of Turtle like creatures, Who wear Armour instead of having a protective shell. This is the light and shadow source of the final image.

Teenage Alien Ninja Turtles

This post is inspired by the news that Michael Bay is producing the next Ninja Turtles film, and how everyone is outraged that he is going to make them Aliens instead of Mutants, and get rid of the 'teenage' part. So here I have a few designs on how he might change the designs to be more 'interesting and new'
1: Make the Turtles actual space Ninjas in Ninja costumes and futuristic goggles. The shell would actually be a broad shield the carry.
2: Make them have a metal space suit Armour as well as making them look more Turtle like.
3: Make them all elongated and tribal like, so its like they come from a race of green alien turtle like creatures. Again, the shell is just some body Armour/ storage. They would have a Lycra like costume with padding and some tribal body paint.
4: Shredder would be a Robot with parts of a living creature/ brain inside. ( like a Megatron/ General Grievous mix. )

Ecto-1 vs. Mystery Machine.

This concept came about when I thought about Shaggy and Sccoby looking for another job. Their CV's would be full of Ghost hunting adventures, Perfect Ghostbuster material.

Concept Scene: ShotGun Hideout

Here is a Concept scene of a criminal with a shotgun hiding from the sniper Rifle lasers coming through his hideout window. Not based on anything, just felt like doing a scene like this.

Big Trouble in Little China Colour Study

One of my favorite films, 'Big Trouble in Little China'. Colour Study.

Thor Colour Study

Another Colour study. This time from The Marvel film 'Thor'. This is the scene where Odin takes Thor's Power away. This was slightly harder to study because of all the reflective gold and chrome Armour. You loose the intensity of the original, but it's close enough for the study.

Doctor Who Colour Study

I feel I need to Bone up on my colour study. So I've wil do a selection of colour studies from still off Film and TV. This is the Doctor from the first episode in Series 6 of the new Doctor Who. He wears a Stetson now...Stetsons are Cool!

Self Portrait

Here is a painted and shadow study of my self portrait. I personally prefer the shadow study, but there is a sort of nice looseness about the painted version. Sticking with the theme of me not using my usual style, I went with a more open concept art style.

Concept Cargo Ship

Still trying new things. Here is a concept of a flying cargo ship moving containers n a dock.

Concept Flying Police Car

I decided to do more concept art for my main portfolio, so I've started trying out new styles of painted, as I feel my normal style is too... generic? Anyway, Flying Cop Car.

New Banner

I've used the painted version of my self portraits eyes as my New portfolio Banner. The self portrait isn't in my normal style because I was inspired by another artist's style. Will post the rest of the picture later.

Self Portrait

Here is a pencilled version of a painted self portrait I'll be doing. I won't be spending hours on it as I want a quick painted look to it.

Random End to 2011

Hi! Sorry I've been away so long, I promise it will never happen again. The end of 2011 was full of half contracts and freelance material I could post full on here, but here are a mix of unfinished images that I can show.
This new year I hope to do more dynamic compositions with more of a storytelling theme rather than full body posing as it seemed to be the majority of last year.
