getting back to the dark stuff..

Well back to the student days...something of which I have been thinking about a lot lately. They were great fun but I'll not get to philosophical or introspective.
But this image does it for me. Its still an early sketch, time permitting I will give her the attention she is due

Here is a bit of a fav...Kimbo Slice...
A quick study.

yet more hot action

So here are some more quick studies, they are all from ref, well most of them, some from photos some from the old masters...

Its a been a while a post. I suppose that its a this point I am meant to say I have been busy, which is true, but if any honesty was required I would have to say I have been to fucking lazy. Well to lazy write, post and blah blah blah. So as they say in certain industries lets get to the money shot.......

These images are all quick studies, I had started to teach a course online for the good people at FXphd, so Thought I ought to get some practice in.

This image was done for the Imagine FX, issue 32.
It also had a "making of" to keep it company, I will post that soonish...

Matte work

Some more matte work.
This was done a project a while ago, so I thought it was time to post it

tesla

Here is the latest installment of the image.
I will play with it a bit more,I want to add vehicles in the foreground, but will see how it all goes.




Here is a work in progress. I had this vague vision. This is the start of it. Secret Mountain lab action....

playing around

A quick study to celebrate my new mac...yay for me!!!

something a bit scary

Here is a bit of work.
Wanted something a scary, moody.
This was the result

...back to the landscape

spare time to play

A quick study.....

...and a happy new year

I played with the image, couldn't help myself I had to use my shiny new mac.
Should have started a new pic, but so it goes


Happy New Year to all....
Had a bit of time to play over the break.
So here is some stuff...
Well not the most merry pic...but so it goes

work in progress

I tend to work on a couple of things at once so here are a couple of pics that I am currently playing with.
Bit of playing around when I have the free time and the patience to work on the computer!!

some matte work

Here is a bit of matte work i did a while ago. Pretty straight forward stuff.....
Lots of Photos and painting, actually its pretty amazing when looking for the reference for this kind of thing, the websites you come across.
The Nasa website for instance, a bucket of things there, could spend weeks going thru their imagery..

More action...

..and one more

cant resist putting up one more

A scifi scene, I read a book called Gateway, classic scifi action and got all inspired.
This was the result

Yet more work...

So ok, I am dumping a bunch of stuff on my blog
The next image was done as always in CS2, a whole of painting, plus photowork

A walk to work for a host of sorry souls.
Working as concept artist, I always feel to grateful for the manner inwhich I get to earn my cash.
There are some real shit jobs out there, god know I have worked in some of them.
So this pic is all about that I guess, a way to always remind me that I have a sweet job..profession even!.. and not to take it for granted
