Moved out

bit of todays work. my internet went bust mid way through yesterdays post so i had to wait until today to post yesterdays update. so heres todays update. worked on two pieces although one was given abit more attention. thanks to the uni renting out apparent unused space to the amature painting society' i lost my usual studio space so work was abit slow until i found some form of newer space but one managed to go through some hefty detail work. so heres the progress from today.

Update of uni work.
so far the final pieces are going slowish. and have now been cut from six pieces to five. mainly because of the time limit and the board was re worked so much the prime surface was ruined and i had to take it back to skratch which right now dosnt go well with my ever shortening time limit! but on a plus side it feels good to be working with a just five now. strangely working with them all laid out it feels more even.
also attached one of the latest ones from working today managed to get alot done today worked three pieces at once and suprisingly it worked well.

At The Piano

Another of the Warhouse caharcter visuals. Damn ashamed of this piece. so many things wrong. but hey i'll show it because thats what this blog about........ re thinking my technique methods for all this buisness. its quite possible that my work is better in physical medium form rather than worked mainly through photoshop. hmmm more experiments with this are in order and getting a hefty whip crack on drawing practice. damn.

Limits of a scar

Just a Quick update sneaky peek at a caharcter detail sketch for Warhouse.
scars are damn fun to make up and draw. the trick is to know how much or little scaring to do.
its easy to get carried away or make it look un believable. hopefully this is a believable scar.

Its Begun!

Just a quick update, My Camera has gone loopy so vidual updates of progress is on abit of a stand still, although with some help ive managed to get some visuals of the larger practice studies i've been working with recently. luckily these have helped me realise that i needed to adjust the sizes and composition of the final pieces.
the final pieces which are a series of 6 paintings. have now begun, Primed with White lead primer and finished with a sand down. over the next four weeks i'll be working on them, should have them finished within four weeks........... hopefully.
also, had a meeting with director Luke Massey and producer Benjamin Read in london the other week. went pritty well, and since then ive been given the first draft of the Warhouse script. quite definatly some of the most exciting stuff ive worked with. cant wait to see how this works out!

The Leap

Just got the confirmation that i'll be working on my first graphic novel, luckily the work i sent seemed appeal to the right people of the publishers!...phew!
i'll be working with a writer who goes by the name of Luke Foster on his piece titled 'Dream Solver'
we'll be being published through Insomnia Publications, they specialise in upcoming UK creators in the medium of Graphic Novels.
i'll be linking their own blog and website up in the top right.
so if all goes to plan i should be strating work on that within a few months. few things to get through! such as the tiny issue of gaining my art degree! so first things first, i had abit of a spasm when i found out about this job as it should be a great project and for me i'm filling abit of a personal goal or the start of filling it! i'll update on this when more develops. meanwhile i'll leave you with the brief of the story Insomnia have issued through their own blog:

Dream Solver by Luke Foster

When 22 year old picture researcher Ione-Rose Young has a disturbing, recurring dream about seeing her own death, she doesn’t know whether to dismiss it as just another weird dream, or worry that it’s about to come true. Unable to shake the dream from her mind, she sets out to decipher its meaning.

Luke has sent me a preview of the actual script, from what little he sent me it sounds like should be a great project!

i'll leave you with one of the pieces of work we sent off to Insomnia for a sample of my style and practice.
