Taking Flight

Was playing Infamous 2 the other day and in one mission I noticed a beautifully surreal sunset. This is something I had in mind when I started this speedpaint, other than that I pretty much started off blind. Yes, I went overboard with the cloud brushes and the jets were an afterthought and a half, but this was more of a colour test than anything.

Robot Series II

I've been looking at Doug Chiang's stuff and I like the way he draws his mecha, soo here's my effort in a similar style.

Alien creature I (revised)

Been having some trouble with the leg anatomy for this one- probably should have thought it through a bit more. A mix of tortoise/ elephant/ typical mammal leg anatomy was probably a bit too far and I've ended up making esp. the back leg more 'meatier' than originally intended.

Sketchbook Stuff

A couple of steampunk machines. I enjoy giving futuristic-esque technology an older, more 'built in a shed' than 'clinical factory manufacture' feel to them.

Robot Series II (rough)

What started out as a doodle of a robotic arm turned into a full sketch. Will be working on this one.

Alien creature I

So, finally decided to do a digital creature painting. (Better late than never I suppose) This was based off a cool photo I saw of peculiarly shaped trees that formed a really nice beastly shape. Still bits I need to do to it, and as its a case of a bit of surreal anatomy going on been having some fun with it.

Robot Series I

A few old sketches I found going through my stuff. Always nice to go back to good old pen liner and markers to indulge my guilty pleasure.

Shadow of the Wind

A couple of old illustrations from one of my favourites books 'Shadow of the Wind' by Carlos Ruiz Zafón

Retribution Falls (1)

A couple of concepts from the book 'Retribution Falls' by Chris Wooding
