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"

Bioshock

I'm in the process of playing through Bioshock 2 again. Man, i love the Bioshock games.

Great narrative, design and general creative vision.

I've now played through both games twice (which is a big call for me). Its inspired me to put together this piece of fan art...

Bolt

I bought Bolt on dvd today.

It's one of the few non Pixar CG films that i really love (and How to train your dragon of course).

The lighting and backgounds are magnificent and the characters are fantastic.

I noticed in the extra features that John Lasseter played a significant role in this film so I wonder if that was a major contributing factor to quality of this film.

Whatever the reason tho, I loved it. As a dog lover I really bought into the characters, and then there's "Rhino" who would have to go down as one of the true awsome cg characters in film.

Did a bit of sketching as i watched trying to nail the character of Bolt.

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. :)

Crazy Busy...

A couple of months ago when I made the move to cut back my Toy Industry work to part time so that I could focus on growing my freelance business, I kinda thought it'd be a slow transition that involved me twiddling my thumbs a bit till the work came.

Boy was I mistaken. Its been crazy busy, but also exciting. Its exposed me to work involved in both the Animation and Video Game industries and provided me with whole new experiences. Its nice to be learning new skills.

The downside tho, is that I've had no time for anypersonal projects but hey, when the work's there you've gotta take it! This little rat sketch is the first bit of sketching I managed for myself in a little while. Scribbled it up last nite - obviously still seeing the carry over of the Tim Burton influence.

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.

Interior Practice WIP

Regrettably, haven't had much time to spend on this over the last few days, but here's the latest progress anyway.

Building interior practice

Going to start setting myself some projects to draw building interiors and exteriors, muck around with mutliple lighting sources and generally all sorts of new territory that I haven't done a lot of before.

WIP

Spent a little bit more time on this last nite. Bout an hour or so...

WIP

Spent another 15 minutes or so on this piece last nite

Goblin progress

Got to spend a little bit more time on my little goblin...

Darksiders Fan Art: WIP 01

With only about a week till its release i've been inspired to do some fan art based on the forthcoming Darksiders game. With Joe Mad at the helm and already some good reviews coming out, I'm waiting with baited breath for this one!

This is just an early concept layout rough, that'll give a rough idea of where i'm going with this. Alas, i've also managed to give myself multiple projects at one time (I can thank the short attention span for that one! :) )

Goblin WIP01

This is a sketch i did awhile back. Decided to revisit it and start to apply some color.

Dead Space Fan art: WIP 02

sigh...I'm missing the xmas party due to circumstances beyond my control :(

Work in Progress: Part 6

Getting close to finished...

Work in Progress: Part 5

Spent another 20 minutes or so on my lil steampunk dude last nite.
