Moar speed sketches (Because moar!)

speeeeeed is the essence!

Music when speed sketching:
The Bourne Ultimatum - Tangiers

Speed sketches of zeh Voresh chase!

Quick sketches done to practice a chase scene I want to do in my story!

Uh-oh, Rough.

Sketch to be cleaned up.



Characters from left to right: Voresh, Omran, Faruq.
All in trouble!

Away with thee, art block!

Trying to just sketch the artblock away...

*grind grind grind*

My head slammed into a sudden artblock yesterday and I've been struggling to produce anything since then.

But the show must go on.



Monochrome page of Skal. This is a safety-scan, in case I mess it up in the future :P

Coffee give me strength!

Moarrr because moaaarrr!

Some rubbish photos of more progress on the paintings.


If this doesn't go tits-up, I will use this image alongside a blurb for my story at the final exhibition :D


Monochrome jailcell is beginning to take shape. Still early days though.

Also designing the merchants HQ in the back of a dodgy opium den.
Hope to get some sketches/paintings of that up soon.

Photos of progress (and birds)

Hoping to finish these by tomorrow (have a tutorial!):

The red one is about A2 in size... Which may be an issue when I scan. Hrm.





These dudes keep me company during the day:



Hoodie = Perfect Poo Protection.




Edit:
OH OH.

White or OffWhite Lineup. That is the question.

First of all, These two examples are Rrrrough. Incredibly rough. Just thrown together in Photoshop to demonstrate the difference.

I'm struggling to choose between two sets of scans.
One is a Whiter scan where the colour of my watercolour paper isn't visible.

The other scan is Off-white, clearly showing the true colour of the paper I work on.

Question is.
Which one is better?

Also, keep in mind that these characters will be cut out individually for the exhibition. There will be no borders.

WHITE: Click me!

OFF WHITE: Click me!

edit:

OFF WHITE (without the borders): Click me!

Faruq does the walk, and Jen is mentioned in a podcast!

Here's the last bloody lineup I'll be doing for the exhibition! Again, the image is too large for my home scanner, so excuse the poor quality. I'm going to take the pictures to Uni tomorrow to scan them properly. Have a Faruq (with changed face):




In other news!
Who would've thought that the doodles I did during the Bristol Comic Con --> These Ones. would get me a little mention in the Comic News Insider podcast!?

Click me!

The lovely Jimmy Aquino (the dude who likes boobs in my previous sketch) mentions me at around 10 minutes into the podcast. Feel free to have a little listen at him trying to pronounce my surname :D

I almost spluttered out my coffee while listening. Win! :D

Bristol Exhibition times!

Click Me for information regarding my yeargroup's final exhibition in Bristol!

There are two more in London later on. But for now, those are the dates for the Bristol show.

Rough sketch of Skal Blurb.

Here's the first rough sketch of a possible poster-like image for Skal that would go together with a blurb.



The cleaned up and detailed version is too big for my home scanner. I'll scan it at Uni or something. :P

Speedpaint of TomTom.

Here's a little painting of TomTom for his blog.
