More designs



More card doodles, trying to nail the style. I think I'm getting there, I think a healthy mix of fineliner, watercolour and pro markers with some photoshop touch-ups is the way to go!

More card characters!




These are drawn using B pencils and watercolours/watercolour pencils. I bought a set of Letraset markers which I'm hoping will make them look more dynamic. Can't wait to get stuck into it after work tomorrow.

Greeting cards

I've been commissioned to do a series of greetings cards for various occasions; Weddings, Christmas etc. I'm having so much fun experimenting with characters and media at the moment. As soon as I've settled on a style and the type of media I'll be using (the above is watercolour and pencil) then I'll put them into situations relevant to the theme. The client is looking for a fun, cartoony style. Expect to see lots more as I progress!

Did you hear that, Sparx?

Always a massive Spyro fan. Minus Skylanders. :(

Iconidoodles

I found a sketchbook I kept on my desk while I worked at Dinamo. It has a bunch of Iconicles doodles in it, so I thought I'd share a few!


Rumple!

Sketchyness



Oberon expressions and turnaround







Snippet of the sketchy storyboard!


This character was part of a design for a short animated story I put together a couple of years ago. Unfortunately I didn't finish the animation as I decided the illustration path was more my thing, but you can see some of the WIP animation if you look through backdated entries on this blog.

Background designs






Some more doodles! I never know which I love more, background or character art. Probably a healthy mix of the two. :)

I love finding old art!

These are some sketches I did in University of a character I animated. The speech animation is here on my blog somewhere if you want to look for it.
