Works in progress [Mar. 29th, 2010|01:43 pm]
[Tags|]

Already posted these a couple of weeks ago on [info]ulorin_vex and my Malady Charlotina myspace but I'm in full swing blog updating mode, and might do a full step-by-step on one or two of these too so I guess it's a good place to start :)



couple more under here.. )

Working on a couple of new black & white drawings, probably going to complete the shading in ink wash. I do most of my line work using Rotring technical drawing pens and indian ink over the top of a pencil sketch. Sometimes it's a really detailed pencil drawing and other times I just do the face and figure and build up the rest around it in between inking.



This one I'm doing entirely with brushes and coloured inks, in a similar style to Fox Dreams. Thinking of doing a small series of these for possible exhibition :)

Queen of Hearts [Mar. 28th, 2010|07:02 pm]
I started doing a series of pieces loosely based on Alice in Wonderland, partly inspired by a modelling job for Bizarre magazine and also for an exhibition (which I sadly couldn't make the deadline for in the end as I was away in Italy, but I'm still continuing with the artwork!) This is the first, the Queen of Hearts

I had been planning on giving up on this sightly neglected journal and merging it with [info]ulorin_vex but it seems like quite a few people actually follow this one (more than I thought anyway!). So I will try again and keep more up to date with it!

Have several new pieces to post, the first is this design I did for Atomefabrik, who make the most amazing goggles and other contraptions! :)



And here is the finished flyer...

Gazelland Magazine [Jan. 3rd, 2009|05:30 pm]
So I decided that my new years resolution would be to actually update my art LJ and get on with the mountain of unfinished drawings I have lying around! Nothing new finished quite yet, I'm working on a couple of black and white pieces right now, including victorian-ish siamese twins and a giant octopus :)

I thought I'd share this page from the Gazelland Magazine 'Art Issue' too, as I am featured as an artist/illustrator (though there's just a photo of me and a quote about what I think art is, no artwork)



The fashion designer and stylist who dressed me up for this photo is non other than Stefan (see previous journal entry Warning: contains drawing with naked man parts!).

My quote comes from the Star Trek NG episode 'The Cost of Living' though I believe it has other origins. It's the sort of thing I say in response the interview questions that I haven't got a clue how to answer (i.e Finish the sentence "Art is" in 5 words!)

Print Shop Online! [Dec. 31st, 2008|12:57 pm]
Finally got round to making the prints and postcards store for my website! Hopefully I'll be adding stuff to the 'merchandise' page over the next couple of months too but more on that later ;)

What Else Is There? [Dec. 30th, 2008|09:50 pm]
Red Ink on A4 bristol

Just a quick thing I did today. The scanner didn't pick up the eye detail very well but I kinda like it better than most of the other stuff I've been doing recently. Red on white = love

I soo rushed the background on this, I do that all the time. Plan for 2009 - more time and effort, more patience! I can't decide if I like this new style I've been trying, I might start combining the markers with brush/painting with inks instead of the rapidoliner outline. Or maybe just do some ink/brush paintings again :)



Maggot!
