Sea Monster & a Mummy

Simon — Tue, 25 Aug 2009 17:21:18 +0000

I sketched the sea monster last night, the mummy is from a few days ago and if I’m honest I’m not that happy with it. He seems to be lacking something.

Damn Owls

I sketched this last night before I went to bed. For some reason I had an image of an owl in my head, that I couldn’t get rid of. Kinda like Hermes in Futurama, except the owls where in my head and not blocking ventilation ducts… now that I think about it, owls in my head sounds worse… Anyhoo(t), the sketch took about 10 minutes to do.

New Theme

I got bored of staring at black all the time, so I opted for something a little lighter and less depressing. The theme is called Serenity and can be downloaded from frostpress.com

OMG! Activity…

I finally got around to sketching a couple of ideas out over that past few days. It’s also the first time I’ve used a pencil in quite a while and rather annoyingly, I couldn’t find a rubber either. I’m going to paint these two up over the next couple of weeks, starting with the vampire.

Brain Case – Concept 4

This is the final cleaned up concept for Brain Case. Now all I have to do is model him…

Brain Case – Concept 3

Here’s a few more sketches of the character I’ll be modelling for the Dominance War IV competition.

Brain Case – Concept 2

Simon — Thu, 26 Mar 2009 21:30:56 +0000

A few quick sketches to show various aspects of Brain Cases personality. I’ve also started a thread over at gameartisans.org :)

Now for something completely different…

I was fully intending to work up the concept in the last post a little more. Unfortunately or perhaps fortunately I managed to draw something a little bit different. I’m now leaning to modelling this guy, mainly as he’s a bit different from what you’ll normally see in these competitions and he’s got more personality about him. I think he’ll be a lot more fun to make. :)

Must remember to start a DW4 thread at cgtalk sometime this week…

Dominance War IV

Simon — Sun, 22 Mar 2009 18:50:08 +0000

I’ve decided to enter the Dominance War competition this year and so far this is what I’ve got. Not that much really, it still needs a lot of work and at the very least a face. :)

Pipemania Artwork

It’s been quite a while since I last posted any work here. I could make a few excuses, but they wouldn’t really cover the slackness involved. :)

Slackness aside, I spent the first half of this year working on an updated version of Pipemania. Which is due out very shortly. In fact it might be out already, the release date escapes me.

Normally I create 3D assets at work, however for Pipemania I was allowed to get my crayons out and actually draw something. I was provided with rough sketches of each character (by our concept artist) and left to work them up / colour them in. It was a lot of fun doing the images and it certainly helped improve my 2D skills. :)

I’ve also have art for a couple of other characters, which i’ll post as soon as it’s been mounted. If you’re wondering why they’re all cut off at the knees, it’s because they where mounted in a frame that obscured the legs in game. Legs weren’t needed, so the legs weren’t drawn!
