Latest Painting

Just put the finishing touches on my latest RvB piece. This is my largest canvas so far (762mm x 1016mm). Actually think I preferred working on the larger scale - gives you a bit more freedom.

RvB Development hits full steam

Have some big development plans in the works for RvB, including a fully fleshed out world, story and cast of characters.

I feel like I'm really starting to find the focus for this project that it deserves. Putting a couple of the characters to canvas has really spurred me in to action.

Here's some development sketches I've been scribbling down lately - some of which you will notice have been turned in to paintings. You might even notice a new character - Ninja Kitti.

Stay tuned as more stuff is in the works. Have a couple of paintings in progress and a few other projects on the go for RvB.

Have also updated the branding on my RvB blog and will hopefully giving a little bit more focus to it in the upcoming months.

Work in Progress: Part 4

A little bit more progress. Still a ways to go

Watched Terminator 3 on television last nite and sat there with a ball point pen and sketch pad doing some more puppy scribbles. Here's what i came up with...

A new year begins

Hope everyone had a great christmas and new year break!

After a nice long break i'm back at work and back in action.

Thought i'd start my first personal sketch of the year off with something nice and loose. Feel so refreshed after spending a few weeks not drawing at all and having minimal interatcion with a computer. Here's hoping 2009 is a great year!

Rabbit versus Bear / Fish Bank

Sometimes it can be so hard to write stuff..how do people do it so easily.

Some good news to report. Fish Bank sales are absolutely going off. sales have gone well beyond our expectations. Bit of a surprise, and also a massive relief. Makes all the hard work worthwhile.

Also my Rabbit Versus Bear skits are starting to attract some favourable response as well. Guess this means I'll keep doin' em then. Just for the hell of it - Here's the latest one...

Back to work tomorrow...

Oh well, 3 days off was nice but alas it's over.
Did another refinied pencil page today whilst i watched the V8 supercars.
Watched "There will be Blood" last nite. Very intriguing movie. Love the segments with no speaking and just music. Movie makers seem to be giving the viewers more credit these days. Movies like There will be blood, Wall-E, and No country for old men all do this very successfully. There seems to be a lot of good films out there these days. Daniel Day Lewis' performance in "There will be blood" was amazing!
On another note: my puppy gets her lamp shade taken off her head tomorrow so thats a definite plus. Can't say i'm gonna miss that walking Pixar lamp! :)

More comic layouts

Been muckin around with my layouts for the latest POW challenge. These are reall rough. Will go and do the proper refinied pencils next. Sigh...do i have to go back to work next week? Holidays are so much fun!

Rabbit versus Bear

Ok then...
The older I get the stranger I get.
I've just started a blog titled Rabbit versus Bear. The damn thing has been stuck in my head for over six months now, so I've turned it into a blog. I don't even know what it is yet, other than a muddled creative dump where two fictional characters battle it out to expunge the crap that goes on in my head.
Wow, it's Friday nite and I'm not even making sense to myself...
Check it out if you want...
