Working over a photo of a friend, this Cyclops concept sketch took just under an hour to complete.

CREATURE FEATURE 7

2011-09-14T19:40:00.006+01:00

Been a while since I've posted a Creature Feature....this is also a little different than usual as it's not a finished piece but a very quick sketch: The subject..a 'zombie lady'.

MINI HELICOPTER DESIGNS

2011-07-11T15:29:00.004+01:00

Here are 4 very different designs for small, but deadly remote control helicopter gunships.

ENVIRONMENT PAINTINGS 4

2011-06-29T17:11:00.003+01:00

A few car based images...

ENVIRONMENT PAINTINGS 3

More environment studies

WARHAMMER 40000 : KILLTEAM - Props

2011-06-15T10:41:00.010+01:00

Various Ork Props designed for the game, I had a lot of fun working on these ;-)

WARHAMMER 40000 : KILLTEAM - Environments

2011-06-15T09:45:00.016+01:00

Early 'Kill Kroozer' concept art

WARHAMMER 40000 : KILLTEAM - sketchbook

2011-06-13T19:22:00.011+01:00

Sometimes artwork needed to be turned around very quickly, in which case I'd put together sketches for the 3D Artist's to work from (a few years ago I'd use paper and pen but now it's quicker to use my Wacom Cintiq).

CREATURE FEATURE 6

2011-05-28T13:21:00.004+01:00

Latest Alien picture...this time I wanted a different number of eyes, a different type of eye shape/form and some sort of translucent textured skin.

CREATURE FEATURE 5

2011-05-09T20:21:00.004+01:00

Another Saturday creature image...this one was quite quick to do and is some sort of Mantis like Alien.

ROBOTS

2011-05-01T11:55:00.003+01:00

Thought I'd have a go at doing a few robots thumbnails.

ENVIRONMENT PAINTINGS 2

2011-04-16T14:53:00.006+01:00

A few more Photoshop paintings..

ENVIRONMENT PAINTINGS

2011-04-04T13:07:00.009+01:00

Here are a few photoshop environment paintings, images one and two are ground level views of a dilapidtated aircraft hangar and the third is a flooded area underneath. Next is a quick tonal sketch of a destroyed city in a sinkhole and the final picture is an underground cave.

CREATURE FEATURE 4

2011-03-17T13:32:00.009Z

After completing my Frankenstein image I decided to have a go at another of Universal’s classic creatures...the Wolfman !

CREATURE FEATURE 3

2011-02-14T16:50:00.005Z

This started off as a Saturday sketch and evolved into my latest black and white creature portrait, this time a slight variation on the classic 'Grey' alien.

CREATURE FEATURE 2

2010-11-24T12:59:00.008Z

Here is a second black and white creature portrait completed in Photoshop, in this instance a thuggish type of character. I wanted to feature a different type of mouth design, so I went for two independent moving lower jawbones with lots of small razor sharp teeth.

CREATURE FEATURE

2010-11-11T13:17:00.007Z

Here's the first of a series of creature portraits I've done in Photoshop, this is a slightly different take on Frankenstein's monster. I usually work out images tonally before working in the colour, and I've decided to leave it at this stage as I quite like the effect.

STORMBIRDS : Aircraft

2010-08-12T12:53:00.015+01:00

Here are a few aircraft I designed for Stormbirds, these orthographic views were passed to the 3D Artists on the team to be created for the game.

STORMBIRDS : Weaponry

2010-07-18T14:16:00.008+01:00

This is the first of a few batches of concept work I'll be posting that I did for the Stormbirds game. The Proximity Mine and EMP were airborne weaponry while the Instant Fire Weapon and Rail Gun were to be mounted on aircraft (note that for the Railgun I did 6 different trail versions for the Art Director to choose from)

LIFE DRAWING 2

2010-07-04T18:44:00.004+01:00

These drawings were done straight in pen and I found them to be extremely challenging (no rubbing out mistakes) and also a change from using charcoal and conte crayons. Initial measurements would be done with very light marks before heading in with the basic structure and then on to the detailing, most sketches were completed between 5 and 20 minutes.

LIFE DRAWING 1

2010-06-30T17:52:00.005+01:00

I thought I'd kick off my blog by posting some old life drawing, I'll keep updating every few weeks until they're all online.
