Raven sketch for a new poster design - Edgar Allen Poes the Raven, Ok so i pushed it too far and it no longer looks like a Raven but ill fix that for the poster art. I will still probably push the stylisation though. I always loved the way the great Arthur Rackham pushed his Crow and Raven drawings.

I have always enjoyed the process of painting, drawing and sculpting, both digital and traditional media. Here is a value/ink painting that combines my love of old horror movie posters and typography and old universal character actors. This one of course is horror legend Boris Karloff. π

In 2017 i was working at Dneg London animating some Kaiju shots on Pacific Rim2. I loved the work, its not often we get to animate big monsters. However i did have a daily commute that lasted 2 and a half hours both ways so decided to do my best to use that time constructively do some sketching.

Decided to do an ink painting study just for the sake of drawing and because i like the process. Trying to combine some of my favourite things. Birds, gothic horror and montage poster art. Sergio Toppi has always been a big inspiration.

Making Creatures has always been my happy place. I finally got round to doing some lookdev and texture work on the Turtle creature i first sculpted almost a decade ago. Trying out some look variations with lots of comping, photo bash, paintover and renders from Blender.π

Creature/character design sculpt from 2018. Some additional sculpting was done by Clare Price on this guy to help me hit a client deadline. Music is a mix from Elia Azarzar - A Ritual for the Dying.

I tend not to do fan art generally (nothing against it) but i got so immersed into the world of Spice Frontier that I was inspired to design a creature that could fit in this universe stylistically.
