mmmmmmm.chocolat

2007-05-09T14:42:00.000+01:00

Here's a bit of product visualising, it's not something I do a great deal of, but fun to do nonetheless.

Merry Christmas.....again

2007-04-04T13:27:00.000+01:00

..It's that time of year again, in my little world anyway.

Flash storyboard

2007-04-03T15:34:00.000+01:00

Here's a simple storyboard intended for a bit of basic flash animation.

Wild, Wild, West

2007-04-03T15:19:00.000+01:00

Whao,whao,whao...wha wha wha.

A bit of Photoshop brushery

2007-04-03T15:05:00.000+01:00

Appropriate for this time of year, I think.

Romance

2007-03-29T17:00:00.000+01:00

A few contemporary and familiar styled designs on the romantic theme. These were produced as greeting card content for a DP software company.

Some Concept Sketches

2007-03-29T16:00:00.000+01:00

Here's some evidence that when required I can produce some realistic figure work. These were a range of concept sketches produced for a well known retail company. The loose scamps were used for their recent catalogue campaigne.

Metro Booklet

2007-03-29T15:51:00.000+01:00

This was a fun one, a couple of years I got the opportunity to create a 12 page quest/story book along with Ross. Here's a few of the illustrations from it, and the front cover

Fairytales

2007-03-21T23:44:00.000Z

Here's a few illustrations on the fairytale theme. They're heavy on the Disney influence, but there's a fine line between plagiarism and inspiration...in my opinion.

Alice In Wonderland

2007-03-21T23:00:00.000Z

Here's an illustration that was used for a kids competition poster... At least it's not Christmas!!!

Ekimoes...

Welcome to Polar Village

2007-03-21T22:09:00.000Z

2007-03-21T22:05:00.000Z

It looks a bit nippy here, but it can't be any colder than a Friday night on the quayside can it?

Elf Workshop

2007-03-08T02:07:00.000Z

Away from the pencil and markers (momenteraly)

2007-03-08T02:04:00.000Z

A few concept sketches on the elf workshop theme, yes. Christmas again, but I did warn you.

Christmas, Christmas, Christmas.....

2007-03-08T01:51:00.000Z

2007-03-08T01:41:00.000Z

Well....You'll soon begin to notice a common theme running through my portfolio blog. Christmas!
That's because I spent a great deal of time providing visuals, concepts and illustrations for a company specialising in seasonal animation displays, sculpted grottos and decorations. To them Christmas is every day, yes everyday...Noddy Holders' dream occupation I suppose.

Woof,Woof!

2007-03-07T20:06:00.000Z

A range of Dog characters. Quick flat marker work, more or less.

More sketchy concepts

2007-03-06T19:18:00.000Z

Here's a few more loose sketchy character concepts. This time for a range of Polar bear characters.

Character sketches

2007-02-27T11:24:00.000Z

Still rummaging through my back catalogue, I found a few character design sketches I did a while back on a piece of disgarded paper, after a bit of cleaning up here's the result. Just as well I never chuck anything out. It would probably be nice to return to these one day and fully render them up.

Back In The Day........

2007-02-27T10:25:00.000Z

Here's a few very early visuals, storyboards and the like. I thought they were lost forever and on reflection they look a bit dated, but i've resisted the temptation to tickle them on the mac and decided to leave them in their original glory.
A mixed bag of pencils, markers and brush pen, yes brush pen. I never did master the art of brush penery anyway, so thank god for Adobe.
