Something I did for fun. Creative Review are holding a competition to design one's 'perfect hotel room door sign'. Here's mine. ;)



To quote Withnail & I,
"We want the finest wines available to humanity.
And we want them here, and we want them now!"
I forgot to add reflections on the bottle and glasses but....you get the idea. Must get back to normal work. Ciao~

I drew this out yesterday and started painting it today, though my laptop is struggling somewhat......thought I'd post a WIP now just in case!


Generally, I'm going for a fashiony Victorian dress. I used to love designing these types of dresses and haven't done one in ages, so perhaps it's time to rekindle that hobby.

If you have any crits and/or tips on making a MacBook Pro more efficient, drop me a line. I know these things defrag themselves so aside from deleting stuff, I'm not really sure what else to do....

Cheers!

As mentioned before, I joined Twitter a couple of weeks ago and spotted Lady Gaga's tweet requesting a sketch to use as her profile pic for V magazine. I love her music so why the hell not? :)


It was a vague and tight deadline as I didn't catch it 'til a couple of hours afterwards but hopefully I made it in time. Been working on some stuff lately with super tight deadlines (hence lack of blog posts) but hey, it keeps me on my toes!

Here are the WIPs:


And now........time to sleep! Night night~ xxx

.....still need to practice more and play around with custom brushes and textures to speed things up. These took about 30-60 mins each. Too long considering, really. :/

On a side note, I recently made a Twitter account as a means of networking/finding more information to aid my job hunt. I avoided it for aaaaaages, dismissing it as another fad but it's been surprisingly useful so far and I enjoy the daily updates of inspiring photography from the National Geographic folks (all of the enviro speedpaints so far are studies of their photos).

I also designed some new icons for my site, so I'll spam them here too:

Notice how they're the same shape as my logo? ;)
