New Work

So ok this is something that I asked for help on the other day for the shading on the leggings over on facebook, think I pulled it off alright, but any advice would be welcomed as I'm working on my portfolio and redoing some old stuff. Ok so the scanned version of this has lost some of the detail in the shading in the hair, leggings, fence and her top.

 

The original concept for this was a small sketch I did what seems like decades ago when I was in college, after a night-school English GCSE class I was taking to improve my grades, the idea was a play on the theme of Hamlet plus since it was around Halloween I throw in some mystical elements.

New Home, New Starts

 

Ok so to begin with, sorry that I've not updated her that often with January being my last post, but when you have to use the bus to get internet access, and some idiot takes offence to your knee just touching the back of his seat when the bus stops taking it out your stuff was the main reason, but I have not been idle as i have taken the time to go back to basics and have been doing work old school.

All my recent work can be seen over in my deviant art account, so feel free to cheek it out, and let me know what you think. Thank-you.

As well as the mentioned nut-case on the bus, I have also had to move home again, but that is a long story and will not bore you with it.

Happy new Year

Hay and Happy new year to any one that even looks at this.

So I hear you ask what do I have planed for the year that is 2013, well for starters I plan on actually finishing Book one of Battlefortress Archangel and farming it out to a friend, Jay's work over on Deviant Art, that is if he will convert it into a script for me ^^;.

Next I plan on doing something with an old project from High School, maybe turn it into a short motion comic, or as we animators say an 'animatic' as a showcase of both my drawing skills and my animation skills, while learning to use a 3D software package, might start small with 30 day trial of an example of maya (not mine), as my 3D skills are some what errrm.... rusty.

I also intend on learning how to colour stuff digitally using only Photoshop for creating a piece, which I will place in my Portfolio and place working image's on here for people to look at my progress.

If you have any tips, hints, shortcuts or suggestions to aid my progress please drop me a line as I can always use any friendly advice for assisting my style.

Well that's all the personal professional goals set for this year, now to tell you what I plan on a networking, well I plan on going to at least one London Comic Con, most probably the one in October and if I can fund it Bradford Animation Festival in November, Hopefully with examples of my work to show to the exhibitioners to get professional feedback on my work.
