Birthday Card

I think they liked it, I'm not sure. I've actually started drawing a whole bunch of cards for people, but this is the only one I've managed to complete so far. I can never seem finish them on time.

One of the best years of my life.

Steampunk Frog

A frog, But steampunk

Another project that probably should have been up here sooner, I give you the  Steampunk frog (I haven't thought of a name for him yet).

Fun Fact (sort of): this painting was my first genuine attempt at lighting and shading, Id like to think that it was a good first attempt but I'll let the scholars among you decide.

(as if scholars would be caught dead on this blog)

Insect people

Character 1

Character 2

Character 3

Sebastian the Eagle!

This was an assignment from year 1 of university that for one reason or an other I never got round to posting but for better or for worse its on here now.

The idea was to come up with characters that had insect like quality's to them. I don't remember why I made all of mine gangsters and the first three paintings are as such, and are also some of my first attempts at shading (I think I might have gone a little overboard). The final painting was me fleshing out my favorite of the the first three and trying to give him more character. I also gave him an eagle named Sebastian, Because eagles are cool.  

Tree. Its a Tree

Sketch 1

Sketch 2

Tree

Not a whole lot to say about this one. Its a tree, enjoy.

Wrinkles and Wrinkles

Moodboard

1st Attempt

2nd Attempt

The above pictures are, if you haven't guessed yet, based around wrinkles.

Drawing them was rather difficult on paper (I'll eventually post the scans) but using Photoshop made a big difference and I was able to draw them to much better effect. The 1st painting was me trying to imitate one of the pictures in my moodboard. I cant quite pinpoint the exact moment he turned into a perverted version of one of the 3 stooges and all I can do right now is apologize for it, but it did teach me a few things and I was able to apply them to the second painting with much better results.
