Underwater Arch

Worknig back into an old piece. I actually liked the old one, but wanted to take Rover out of it for reasons. Also using the dual brush in PS a lot on this, interesting thing to play around with!

Backgrounds Reel

Here's my new backgrounds reel containing work from projects I worked on, edited together with some lovely music from the FLCL soundtrack :D

Feel free to have a watch, maybe share it round if you can!

Cheers,

So I did up a backgrounds reel, which was suprisingly fun/challenging. I'd really done a lot more with my branding since the last time I did a reel, so I wanted to make sure it matched. Been studying after effects animation in games like Infamous for different approaches, as well as DVD menus, and I think some of it has shown up. For now, I'm happy :)

This morning's warmup. Getting used to Magic Picker's colour wheel, I find so far that it's forcing me to be a lot bolder with my colour choices. Trying to work with opacity less, to force myself to commit quicker and work like oils more. Hope you guys like it.

Noticed I didn't have much cutout style stuff in my gallery, particularly in terms of backgrounds, so I knocked this out.

Goblin Treehouse

Concept drawing for the Goblin's sitting room. Trying to stick to the rules of anything they've had for centuries or found in the dump, adding to their insular lifestyle.

Ended up doing the pencils for this at two in the morning last night, and then woke at 7.30 eager to do more. Obvious different techniques used this time- no inking, lots more textures, one brightness/contrast adjustment layer for lighting.

ONWARD.
