WEEK 8 - TURNAROUND

Character turnaround was the final assignment in this amazing little course. We had to choose a character from our past assignments and draw a front and side view of that character as accurate as possible. I choose the pirate because I thought he looked like an interesting character to develop further.

WEEK 7 - ANIMALS

Characterising an animal from reference was this weeks assignment. We had any choice of animal to choose from, so i choose a RHINO.

Final rhino design with references used.

The process I used from rough to final design. The initial sketch, vectorised shapes made in Illustrator and the final textured version painted in Photoshop.

A background added with the 2 characters. Painting backgrounds isn't my strongest asset but, I'm going Rambo (fearless) at the moment in all aspects of design. 

This was also requested by a friend of mine (Luis). He wanted to see how I would tackle combining characters with backgrounds. I hope I did well. 

Thanks for visiting.

WEEK 5 - STORY through a single image - Part 2

A few weeks ago I did an assignment for CGMA where I had tell a story about something happening on a bench. Although I handed in a final piece, I wasn't happy with the outcome. I did say I would rework it by October. I couldn't until then, so I did it this week. I took the feedback from NW and applied it onto the this final. Im really grateful to Nate for the pointers and happy with this turnout.

TMNT - TINY MUTANT NINJA TURTLES

COWABUNGAAAAA!!!

WEEK 6 - Versa-STYLE

The ability to have versatility in style was this weeks task. 

The first dragon is a very simplified, curvy, vibrant  Jay Ward, UPA style.

The second dragon is a Ronald Searle style. A very inky, sharp style with a lot more detail than you would find in a Jay Ward design.

I hope the designs have justified the two artists that inspired me.

Enjoy.

WEEK 5 - STORY through a single image - Part 1

Its been a bad hand in this week. I wasn't over pleased with the turn out. My aim was to have a coloured and textured version of this image & also have a better composition in general. This is definitely on the 'LIST OF THINGS TO FINISH' by October.
