Been pretty busy lately, but just whipped up a digital sketch for sketching’s sake.
Got my grant application into DCA on Friday. I’m pretty much only eligible for the Development grant. I feel like I’m a great candidate though, pursuing this ‘new’ digital art-form. Read the rest of this entry →
Lots of em!
Was painting up this environment concept with the intention of making it folio-worthy, but no. I just couldn’t get past how cliché it is, so it shall remain as yet another speedpaint. I feel the composition, lighting and narrative is pretty good though. I wanted to indicate something had escaped, but not what.
Another exhibition is on the horizon! A mythology themed group exhibition with a couple of locals which promises to be awesometastic.
I may or may not encorporate robots into my arts so I thought I’d do a lighting study of typically robotic materials… So I googled robots, and ended up doing a study of I, Robot. It’s not completely identical to the robots in the movies though. I gave it a hat and some markings for good measure.
A scantily clad one at that. Not the most functional of outfits, but well aerated!
Anyway, I wanted to run with the backlighting look of last night’s sketch. It seems like a good initiative to do a study and then apply it to a completely fabricated scene. I know the lighting’s flawed in parts but the image has a sort of graphic novel feel to it.
While in Melbourne I was treated to a meal at Vue De Monde courtesy of a generous soul I did some design work for last year. It’s a very fancy French restaurant. So fancy that I needed to adapt my eating habits. Instead of mashing food into my face with a spade I had to use cutlery. Furthermore, I cut my food into little pieces. I did consider eating the smoked Kingfish fillet (my main) in one mouthful, then standing on the table and proclaiming myself “the winner”, but thought I’d save that initiative for when I remember to bring a megaphone.
Eating/rambling aside, this is a colour study referencing my Vue De Monde photos. I might actually refine it a little and get it printed… I like it. It’s efficient.
I was deciding on my vote for the Triple J Hottest 100 of 2009, and after watching the clip for Drumming Song I thought a portrait sketch of Florence Welch would aptly tie in with a Hottest 100 blog post. After all, she is quite the hot sauce, with flame red locks to match.
Haven’t done an interior in forever. Just some typical videogame environment. As you may have guessed I’m quite fond of Valve’s games (and their aesthetic).
Plus a WIP as requested. Read the rest of this entry →
