Here's a glamorous, stylised version of me!



If you're curious as to what I actually look like, here's my current Twitter/LinkedIn pic:

I got fed up of carrying and drawing in the big sketchbook 'cause it's so cumbersome so I've downsized to an A5 hardback and splashed some paint on it:

I'll be attending the Eurogamer Expo this year in attempt to get some crits and exposure of my work, so it wouldn't hurt to dedicate some time to packaging to make it more memorable. Normally, I paint a character, but this will coincide with my portfolio so they'll look better together. All in the name of marketing, baby. ;)

The first sketch inside:
Been watching Tangled and Book of Kells lately (excellent films and they're both on LoveFilm) and I like how both used hair as part of the character's movement and personality, so here's what I would look like if I were an animated character of some sort! Though I don't have the tattoo yet....the rest shall be explained when it's in full colour.


These lot are from the old SB:



These were from the Oxford Meet where we went to Pitt Rivers to look at lots of sharp and pretty things behind glass. Miiiight have spent too much time socialising instead of drawing, though. Still, it was good fun.


1-minute poses.


Rawr, abs!

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
