I’ve done a couple of sketches of the Lewis Chessmen.
These are miniature chess pieces that look like small and interesting characters. I thought that this would make a change from life drawing.
The first image is below.
More to follow.
More experiments with inks, promarker pens and fine liners. I’m playing around with colour and pattern here as well, really trying show different influences and styles.
Here is an Illustration I created several months ago. I was experimenting with black and white and Illustrating movement. As a lot of my experiments I wasn’t sure what to do with it. I don’t know if it is one for the portfolio (which I am redesigning at the moment), so here it is on the blog.
These images were created using a combination of inks, promarker pens and fin liner pens. I think I get good results. I am using watercolour paper as the pens turn out a lot better than on cartridge paper.
Earlier I mentioned that I had recently completed graphics for a new online game for a start up company in Dundee – Sophie’s Games. Well here are some more images.
I have recently completed some freelance work for a start up video games company in Dundee called Sophie’s Games. I have helped the company out be created and designed some 2D artwork for their new online game – Woolly Jumper.
This is an educational game for children, where they have to teach a sheep how to jump and navigate around an environment.
I created character and environment graphics, as well as icons.
Below I have posted 3 images (more will follow soon) and I will put a link to the game when it is available online at the Sophie’s Games website.
I have been keeping myself busy by doing some freelance work for different start up companies in Dundee (more about the other projects in later posts). One of the video game companies I have been working for is called ShoeDemon games.
I recently designed and created the graphics for their new iphone game called connection. Connection is a puzzle game that involves creating paths between different types shapes.
My work involved logo design, UI design and Art Direction. Below I have posted some images showcasing the graphics. The game is due to be released late this year. More info on this as I get it.
5th set of fashion Illustrations in this series. Mixed media again. – probably not the best examples in the series, but I am trying something new here with montage and acrylic paint.
3 new sketches of Fashion Illustration. I used mixed media and ink here.
A while back (May and June 2011) I undertook an outdoor sketching class at the Botanical Garden in Dundee. Pretty much all of my work focuses on people and characters, so I wanted to branch out and try something new. The images I created were in pastel, watercolours and pencil. I have only got round to scanning some of the images recently. The sketches were in my paper portfolio and I doubt I’ll add them to my online portfolio, so I thought I’d post them on this blog.
The first four sketches are below.
