Midnight philosopher

Here is a quick midnight study. I don't know why he's smirking.

Shellsuit Zombie & Designer Dan

I was fortunate enough to be approached by the mega-awesome guys at Shellsuit Zombie, and contribute to their ultra-super magazine's second issue. I did two illustrations for an article titled Placement Man.

Also, we celebrated Dan's 5th anniversary at Collective yesterday. We all wanted to contribute with a small thing, so I thought I'd do a couple of illustrations.

You should definitely check out Dan's blog for all things art & design you wish you discovered.

Dragon's blood

Sketched during another viewing of the final episode of Game of Thrones.

Pen sketches

I'm going to try and post more of these, as they are more frequent and better than no blog activity.

Sketches

Sketches from last week, one of the busiest weeks of my life.

Pooj

Not a very good PM, and loves the penis.

Gesture Drawing Practice

I haven't been to a real life drawing session for a long while. That's because:

A: Lack of time
B: £7.50 session charge
C: There is one man there who makes me feel uncomfortable, because he says "Oh hello!" really loudly the millisecond I walk into the room. Plus he always wears the same stripy t-shirt.

Well anyway, I found this great little website, that gives you a random naked person just posing for you (surprisingly non-porn, yet still NSFW). You can set how long you want the image to stay on until the next random one to appear. It is great for quick gesture practicing.

Here are a couple of long poses; that evolved into their own things...

Pookie mookie moopa shoopa

That is her name. No joke.

Bearded

I reckon I'll make him some coffee.

I'm just a sweet boy

Take one look at those eyes, and try to withstand the intensity... It's impossible.

Or that famous Nietzsche quote.

GET IN MY BELLY!!!

Getting back to sculpting, perhaps. I have finally managed to get a displacement map going, and rendering a sculpt in an external application. Here is one I made earlier:



I can't say much about the design, as it's looking pretty clichéd; but I did work on texturing and the render to get this result (it still looks a bit too plasticy). Here is a posed close up.

"I was perfect..."

Guess what I watch earlier?
