Ratchet 2015

So every year I do a Ratchet and Clank picture, to track how I'm getting on and design some stuff for the crazy and wonderful universe that Insomniac have built.

I wanted to make sure Clank made it in this year, as he's usually absent!
Also, I wanted to work up the background so I could use it for my Environmental Modelling class as a texturing demo.

Anyway, a lot of fun!

Enjoy!

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!

Tiny Island, but less tiny

So I posted this on facebook and twitter, and was asked (by Pete McNally and Ben Hennessy, both excellent artists!) to post it bigger. FB auto-shrinks stuff to ridiculous proportions. Anyway, here's a bigger version!

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!

The Wild Rover

In case ye didn't know, my pet project while Nelly and Nora's been in production is Rover Was Here. Here's some highlights over the past while;

A bit more character

So we're coming to the end of production on Nelly and Nora, and it's been fun. And challenging. Also, an awful lot like colouring comics, which I wouldn't have said going in. Emma (Hogan, art director)'s real passion lies in shape and pattern, whilst I'm a pure colour man all the way! This really allowed us to play off each other's strengths- meaning I got to do a lot of colour keying for each episode, with every conceivable weather type! We have some wild west influenced palettes, some very Japan-inspired palettes as well as exploring the almost contradictory nature of Irish weather!

With all those environments during the day, it seems like I had an itch to scratch with characters in the evenings- here's some I made for fun. Of course, we have a quick annual Ratchet and Clank fan piece :D 

Enjoy!
