Concept Art and Illustration

My most recent “Self-Portrait”. I wanted to make a piece that resonated with how I feel best represented mentally. Not sure how I got to this, it just kept going and eventually I was happy with where it was enough to leave it for future me to produce further pieces.

Old self portrait in response to a friend asking why I never do anything “realistic”. Well, I’m petty, so I gave it my all for this one.

Half Orc Barbarian portrait for my D&D 5.0 character sheet. This lad took names.

A birthday present in the form of a stylised portrait. Had a lot of fun with this one and pleased to say she loved it. Had a lot of fun with the colours in this piece and I might come back to it one day to expand upon it.

A twitch sub announcement designed for a nautical named streamer. Animation has never been my strong suit, but it worked out alright for the aesthetic.

A collaborative piece by myself (Colours, shading, and additional detail) and my friend Luke (Lineart). The poster was ultimately not used for the final show despite approval by the entire class. Never work without a brief, guys; lesson learned.

Concept piece for a comic book idea that I had at one time, which fizzled out into a series of disconnected pieces. This piece depicts a car bomb planted by the protagonist detonating on a major city bridge. Heavily inspired by the 90s Batman cartoon.

A piece inspired by H.G. Well’s “First men in the moon”. This scene is from the selenite caves where the protagonists are chased by the selenites themselves.

This piece gave me a great opportunity to use the beloved and overused blue + orange colour scheme.

“ADAM” a concept piece for my 2D animation unit in college. Unfortunately never saw the light of day in my own works. Drawing heavily from Giger again, I had a wonderful time detailing this piece. The piece was mirrored for a colleague who turned it into a 3D model (which I wish I could find).

“Self-Portrait” of sorts after playing another game to death, “Dead Space”. Also a bit of Latex for that 12 monkeys screw look.

Undead soldier concept piece after playing far too much Warcraft 3. Heavily inspired by Giger.

Character design for an Ent. featured in body are remnants of old foes now adding to this Ent’s appearance and armour.

Speed painting practice (1 hour + 5 minutes for neatening) for a desert world working with shades of one secondary colour.

Design process for animal human hybrids where mine was “Lobster” (drawn from a hat). Defining the silhouette of the piece first was essential for a recognisable character design. Once I’d sketched out 24 individual designs, I combined pieces from various individual sketches into hybrid forms in order to hash out more ideas.
