Ninja Kitti

I guess the advantage of working on multiple paintings at one time is that you get the satisfaction of finishing two in one day!

Its interesting how much of a different process that the canvas painting is to digital. Its a lot slower and you have to wait for stages to dry before you can approach the next, there's no undo function, no editable layers and you can't just pick up objects and reposition them on the canvas. Makes me realise how spoilt we are in this digital age.

On the flip side, you can paint in the sunshine and not be huddled over a computer monitor :)

Bioshock:Infinite - Fan Art

Had a shot at doing a bit of fan art conceptual stuff for the upcoming Bioshock: Infinite.

This is my take on a turn of the century "Splicer"

The sockmonster

Did this lil fellow for A wacom "Anime monster contest".

I swear this creature is real, but as to whether it would look

like this I can only speculate.

Consider it, an artist's impression. :)

Tim Burton Exhibition

Went and saw the Tim Burton exhibition at ACMI on the weekend.

Fantastic! Absolutely loved it! I never realised he had such an extensive body of artwork. Was really inspiring. I loved seeing how he has carried his personal style through his art over the years and managed to evolve it.

I reckon any Tim Burton fan gets along to see this.

The exhibition has inspired me to do this little character concept with some very distinct Tim Burton influences.

Skull Boy

Did a bit of an update on a sketch i did a little while back. Had a bit of time spare last nite so thought i'd try and get this closer to what i imagined doing for it in the first place.

Character

Some more scribbling last nite...

Character design

A character design scribble I'd been mucking around with on the weekend...

Skullboy

This is a character design i was working on last nite. Sort of a tragic white boy rapper who thinks he's black. Was planning to turn this character into a Forza livery as a kind of humorous drift racing team called Skullboyz.
