final sheet for spawn

SPAWN IS COMPLETE... now we need a background

eugh, i will never finish this

so here he is, tweaked a little and almost ready to be submitted. I do feel a little shit at the fact that I won't be using my lovely horsey but it was fun to do and that's what counts RIGHT!?

spawn horse #2

the turtles

the hedgehog

spawn's pony

mask concepts

just a little mess around with different colours over two different mask designs.

failed sketch

this sketch won't be used but had to be uploaded anyway.

latest spawn idea

with armour maybe?

just a formality #2

just a formality

I had to resize my images before whacking them on to gameartisans.org so here they are... smaller.

Latest competition WIPs

These are the two latest WIPs of my renaissance spawn character. I've left the cape out for the time being because it is going to take up A LOT space and there's just no need for these early concepts.

Alternate Universe Competition

For the alternate universe I tried several ideas. First I was going to do a mutant spiderman, then a mutant batman and THEN a female violator from spawn but FINALLY decided up on a spawn from the renaissance era... watch this space (Matt) ;)

let the locust handle it idea sketch

Well I was fucking around on photoshop and thought this could make quite a fun drawing... If only it could be real though!

Kayleigh's Threads

My lovely lady Kayleigh was complaining that I draw all the time and she wished that she did more textiles work, so I explained to her that setting up my blog page really motivated me into drawing more. It gave me a reason to produce work because I wanted to fill my page with my drawings. At that point we decided that she should set one up too in the hope that it would motivate her too, so she asked me to do a title for

and so I did. The blog will be up soon :)

news

Incorporating two news stories in to one image... swish!

what is it with kids singing over xbox live?!

Clearly I'm a very busy man which is exactly why I had time to go on Xbox live and realise that almost every kid that plays it will sing on open chat non stop for entire match durations. What the hell is that about?!

the bull

This morning I had a go at producing my own cute-style animal using the techniques from yesterdays tutorials and considering this is my first attempt I think it isn't bad at all... I am relatively chuffed.

tutorials

As I stated earlier, I needed to learn a lot of techniques from adobe illustrator again and so I spent an hour or so (maybe more, embarrassingly!) doing a tutorial on gradients and shapes. This horrible looking bunny is the fruit of my labours. More practice wouldn't hurt as you can see, but fuck, it's boring doing tutorials!

The legs were one of the first parts I did on this and it shows because they are the worst part as well!

You may also be able to notice some little errors with the pen tool around the carrot, this is because I was SICK of making shapes and wanted to finish the fucking thing.

robot sketch

Well just as Matt had stated in one of his posts, creating abstract shapes in Alchemy is a lot like looking at clouds. I looked at his abstract symmetrical drawing and instead of seeing a queen with crazy hair and a fancy dress, I saw some sort of mecha. I TRIED to use illustrator to get the symmetry down at first but I really need to re-teach myself a lot of the techniques. Anyway, once I got the basic structure down (top left) I sketched a little bit over it to see where I could go with this design. I want to do more with this but because it's a robot I feel that crisp precise lines are going to be important and illustrator may be the program to help me here... watch this space!
