It's finished

It's finished my personal take on Fleet Station Vincennes from a story on fanfic.net, basically it is a space dock that is designed to serve the same purpose as Earth's space dock from Star Trek, as well as Babylon 5 from the series called Babylon 5, with a hint of starship troopers thrown in for good measure but for the Stargate universe.

Personally I don't like how this has turned out but after spending the last 240 something hours on it, I feel t is done and that if i did any more to it I would spoil 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.

Quick and Dirty work

A quick and dirty piece which is all digital, and as I haven't done any drawing, traditional or digital in ages, I feel like I'm back at high school I feel that it is ok, will be replacing with a clean version when it's done.

New work, well newly scanned work that is

These are a few examples of work that I have recently been able to scan, if you have any comments about them please let me know.

Sketch book work, and cityscape.

Sorry for the long wait for an update, but I have had a lot on my mind and very little time for drawing or accessing the internet, but after a long time away from the internet.


Please enjoy these images that I have done on my way to work on a bus.

In this bottom picture it is not clear but their is a mixture of shading and colours.


I will take any and all comments on these piece's and act on them.

Happy New Year

Happy New Year, sorry I haven't updated this in a while but have been busy both with work and looking for a new job.

So first off what have I been doing, well first off I have been busy in work in the shoe shop I work at, you know the kind of job that pays the bill's, and as it was nearly back to school when I last posted, you can understand how busy it was.

I've also been looking for job in the animation field, but as I am not that good I've fallen back on writting Battle fortress Archangel.

and lastly I've been working on stuff for my portfolio, which has taken up a lot of time, but I think I'm improving ^^; as well as entering the odd competition over on Deviant Art, in this case the retro future design a t-shirt competition.

so what to do now ??

So I have finished University and have my graduation in October, but what do I do now ??

Well the first thing I am doing is working on a complete rewrite of the my comic over on my deviant art web page, into something that is more episodic and more sci-fi and sci-fact based.

Secondly I am looking for a job in the animation industry, which is slow going as I have been giving a load of extra hours in work and after spending 4 hours a day on the bus to get to work I am exhausted to even pick up a pencil to draw a stick man so my art work has taken a back step at present, but I have had an interview for a web company that is after a animation artist for work on a short for a local council website.
