Weekly Character Design 1: Full Character

wcd_1_characterThe 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

WCD_02

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

WCD_01

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.

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…

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 :)

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?

No Way Out

NOWAYOUT

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….

Flash Cleanup

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?

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!

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!

'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!
