A Little Bit About Myself

My photo
I enjoy short walks to the cinema and then sitting down for a long period of time... Reading is good, but films are better. I like drawing, writing, filming. I don't like mushrooms and people that drink Primo One-Shot Decaf Soya Sugar-free Caramel Lattes. In all serious though, I like to be creative with whatever I happen to be able to get my hands on. I try to keep things simple, and enjoy trying new things. So I use my blog as a way to display whatever I decide is worth keeping, and I hope others like them too!

Blunderblock

A basic cartoony block-man. I was thinking how I could make something really simple, but try to add some character to it at the same time.

I could imagine Blunderblock being suitable for a children's cartoon or a cartoon-styled advertisement. Either way, I think creating this image helped me develop a bit more in terms of characteristic detail.

Plus, he looks funny!

Bubbles!

I will be posting some doodles soon, and this is one of the images I created based on one of them. Because it's been a while since i've posted something, i'll be EXTRA generous and show you the original drawing, followed by the finished picture!



I considered calling it "Tigerfish", but that would just seem stupid. I mean come on, Bubbles is sooo much cooler.

Sketchy City Thunder

Whilst working on a few other things all at once, I decided to post this image. I watched Seasons 1-3 of Misfits a while ago and I always liked their opening title sequence. So, I thought it'd try a dark cartoony-come-painterly style with my own twist. It's not amazing, but I still like it for it's simplicity.


More to come soon!

The BO Series

This post is for links to all posts on my BO Series of cartoon-face-whatchamacallits. The idea was to allow simplicity reign, whilst keeping it looking cool and original.

BO Drafts

Well, it's time to start displaying the few pieces of work I feel happy with. Now please bear with me, there aren't many pictures I ever end up keeping due to the fact that i'm such a cynical perfectionist.

This series's namesake originates from my source of inspiration. Call of Duty Black Ops (Can you spot the BO there? Well done you!) has a crummy little emblem maker, but I finally managed to toy around with it enough to create a manic smiley face I felt happy with. Let all foes who pick up my gun be distracted by the glaring red eyes of that crazy little man. Following this, I decided to try and perfect it and create some more variations. And so, the concept was born.

Anyway, at the risk of never getting round to showing anything, here are the first few base drafts for my BO images:
