Weekly Character Design 1: Full Character

The next part of the character shape challenge involves turning one of the faces into a full character, complete with turnaround.  I only had the time to do a head turnaround, though. What do you reckon?

Weekly Character Design 2

That other character design thing I posted? Yeah, it’s a weekly thing.  I was supposed to have done a turnaround for one of the characters for the last one, but I didn’t join in until the end of the week so I’m a little behind.  Never mind! I shall catch up tomorrow.

Weekly Character Design

There’s this guy on DeviantART who has created a group called Design-A-Character; the group promotes different character design challenges, and in this one, the guy gives you random squiggles, and you have to make characters out of them.  I think the idea is to take one of these, design the rest of the body, and do a turnaround.   Here’s my attempt at the faces; we’ll see if I have the time to do the rest of it…

Wonderful

A free sketch of Wonder Woman for another DeviantART friend.

Note: the title of this post is not meant to suggest that I think this drawing actually is wonderful – it’s just a feeble pun.

Identify

Made a new ID for my DeviantART page, because the old one was old.

Dave.

Another free sketch for someone on DeviantART, of their character, that I promised them aaaaaaages ago…

Stab

GORILLA

Some more old life drawing….. from a trip to Bristol Zoo

Hellbitch

Here’s a bit of life drawing from a couple of years ago – well, I say life drawing, as you can see I took a few liberties with the model’s pose…

GORGON ZOLA

First bit of artwork I’ve done so far in 2010.  I would have done something much sooner, but I got a PSP with Gran Turismo for my birthday :)

Showreel 2009

 Here be the latest version of my Showreel, featuring more of my recent animation work.  Enjoy!

Merry Christmas, etc

 

Have a rollickin’ good time during this Pagan midwinter celebration, folks.

Here’s a painting I did at the request of a friend, as a Christmas gift for his girlfriend or something:

Wrestler Turnaround

Here’s the turnaround of the character that I promised.  What do youse guys think?

Modelling

Basically I’m going to be making some model sheets and turnarounds of this guy.

Remodelling

Thought I’d change some of the graphics on my blog, including making the buttons on the right a little smaller, and changing the header to look more like the new header on my website.  Not sure if I like it yet, what do you think?

Diagnoses are Metal

Ooh, a new comic! Finally.

As ever, see more at Brutal Comics…

Memory

Not sure how long this took.  Around 45 minutes maybe?

#44

Puzzle

Another List item - #43: Puzzle

No Way Out

A long time ago on DeviantART I found a list – 100 words and phrases designed to give you some inspiration in times of artistic drought.  It’s been a while since I looked at that list, but I dug it out today and decided to use it once again….

1$F: Round One

And so begins another of AngelCrusher’s tournaments! The other characters in this image belong to TBPow and MarkDobson.

Flash Cleanup

Flash Cleanup Test from wesleyriot on Vimeo.

This was a pencil test of one of the scenes from the film I animated for my BA in 2007, at GCADT.  I decided to take it into Flash and try cleaning up and colouring it; this is the result. 

Thoughts?

One Dollar Fighter

Another picture done for one of Angelcrusher’s art jams – this time a competition with actual prize money at stake!  Each combatant submits one dollar via Paypal towards a prize.  I don’t anticipate winning but I do need something to encourage me to draw morre often!

Character/logo is mine, template by Angelcrusher.

The Blissful Simplicity of Fists

Here’s a sketch I did earlier this year, while I was still living in London.  I have no idea why I never posted, because it’s actually one of my favourite drawings!

Further Testing

Question: does the Twitter plugin for Live Writer work for me?

Test

Trying out Windows Live Writer to create blog posts.  Just for the hell of it!

October Goodness

The theme for AngelCrusher's October jam is Hallowe'en (naturally), so here is one of my characters dressed as a mummy.  AC is going to put all the characters together in a party setting, which I shall link in due course!

Vampires are Not Metal

True Blood is one of the worst TV programmes I've ever seen.
Also, I drew this while broadcasting live on Livestream, meaning I got it done in about 2 hours altogether!

WRASSLIN' TIME

'Roid Head

So there I was, doing my shopping in Asda, when I saw this guy. He really was wearing a sleeveless red chequered shirt, tucked into some too-short camouflage trousers. With the headband and basket. You just can't make up stuff like this!

Pregnancy is Metal

Another Brutal Comic, inspired by the fact that my fiance is pregnant. In fact the baby is due in 2 days!
