Uli kindly lets us take over the studio once a week to arrange life drawing, these were yesterday’s creations. Thee sculpt was from a 45 min pose. The first photo was the angle I set myself up. As you can see from the second photo I was to lazy to move around. But it was great fun.
I hate my laptop screen, strong word 'hate' but I do, it lightens everything. I colour something... am happy with it, have a look on another monitor and I can barely see the thing especially dark pictures (obviously). its really frustrating, but I prefer drawing on the laptop to the pc. portability is great!
Via the magic of the curves tool... we have this!
so the sounds a bit out-of-sync...
Does anyone know how to get a youtube in sync? i uploaded a avi and an mpeg, both rubbish!
Mr Cosmic and his chin
After a bloging pause I finally got some motivation to post some new artwork. the picture above is from a quick doodle which I later coloured on the pc. Somewhat meaningless, but part of my new years resolution is to sketch more... and watch less big brother! 
I have updated my Airship blog, not much but a bit. I should have better things to do with my time... actually I do have better thing to do...unfortunately I cant stop developing the chronicles and thinking about stories. Meanwhile hope you enjoy the blog. 
This was my last entry for Eurovision, (Giants) sadly only 6 entries this time. 
Baby one-of-those is growing up fast! Celebrating his first birthday,
Mother tells him to make a wish.
Yesterday I read over on 'animated-news' Warner brothers are planning a remake of Clash of the Titans. Instantly I mumbled and cursed in annoyed grunts. I grew up watching this film... all Harryhausen movies.... why remake it!
I hope they rework the story based on the mythology and not recreate the Harryhausens film with cgi.
My blog’s moving along at a slow pace at the moment, been busy.
Please stop by my air ship chronicles blog.
Mountain - sea - lake... inspired by watching endless Bob Ross videos when i was at school.
This was my first go with a wacom tablet at Uli’s.
This background, i did a few years ago for a uni project, when i first started playing around with layers in Photoshop. The texture on the walls were scanned from a small paper bag out of an art shop. You can find great textures all over the place, but now i collect these bags whenever one looks interesting. I'll post up some more examples soon.
Computer games may not be everyone’s cup of tea, but this very original game is perhaps the most inspiring game I have ever played. The scenery and scale is just remarkable, so much talent appears to have been poured into the building of the environments and levels, but not just that… the animation (of the horse especially) is just fantastic. if you have a PS2 check it out, a visual treat!
These guys were flying around my desktop asking to be bogged. They were quick sketches drawn up for a project that unfortunately never progressed. I believe it was intended for nickelodeon again.
These are designs made for Matts cd and website, the top is printed on the cd and the second a variation of the cover, check out his website here....
These are stills grabbed from a 30 second and a 20second we did for Nickelodeon. I got to design and direct, and had good fun animating with Cako Facioli. I created layers in Photoshop and we animated in After effects.
