Commission 2 of 2. This is the second image I meant to post last night, I was looking for it on my phone and couldn’t find it. Seems my phone automatically deleted it... 🤔 oh well lol here it is. A super smash bros melee collage from the original GameCube game! What a great game this was and I had a great time working on it. This took me around 3 weeks and was a challenge to create, again I digitally painted each one, some taking over 5 hours to do #art #creative #commission #GameCube #supersmashbrosmelee #smash #bros #game #collage #digital #paint #painting #ipadpro #procreate #artist #artistsoninstagram #artistofinstagram #artistoninstagram #scotland #edinburgh #illustration #print #2019 (at Edinburgh, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0ZJWNWhl3J/?igshid=41dsgfzum9gx

Commission number 1 of 2. A Pokemon collage done for a dear friend of mine, each #pokemon is individually painted on my iPad using #procreate this particular piece took me just over a month to complete. FYI the image is slightly cropped due to Instagram not letting me use the actual size of the image #art #creative #collage #digital #paint #painting #iPad #procreate #commission #artist #artistsoninstagram #artistoninstagram #artistofinstagram #scotland #edinburgh #2019 #illustration (at Edinburgh, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0WrUALFh5C/?igshid=o5cajafm808o

Progress from today’s stream, sorry I forgot to post I was going live haha. So I’m still working on recreating this deathstroke cover, I’m having a tone of fun with this which is a surprise especially since I’m doing this as practice and studying how artists put these together and how much skill is required #art #creative #twitch #twitchtv #pencil #pentel #sketch #illustrstion #comic #comicart #graphic #graphicart #muscles #edinburgh #2019 #itstoohotforscotland (at Edinburgh, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0TtuKAB2-u/?igshid=1d1rnkfhwgy52

Progress from today’s stream, recreating Bill Sienkiewicz cover of deathstroke issue 12 from rebirth. Had a blast doing this and think this rough pencil sketch is a good starting point for when I stream tomorrow doing the last of the pencil work making it tighter then on to inking. I think doing these practice sketching and inking will drastically improve my work and this is in no way shape or form my own, I am only recreating it to improve my skills 😊 #art #creative #twitch #twitchtv #sketch #pencil #pentel #redpencil #rough #roughsketch #deathstroke #comic #comicart #graphic #graphicart #illustrstion #edinburgh #2019 (at Edinburgh, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0RBHT1BmIg/?igshid=slw6zaa3hjeh

Going live over on twitch.tv/chrisjaikman . Going to be doing. A comic art draw along of deathstroke issue 12 from rebirth.

That’s a wrap guys! Submitted my portfolio and all my hard work. Summing up this project would involve a very long story of how I felt I struggled at every turn, but I am here and I made it through it with some really good work to show for it that I am genuinely proud of. A big thank you to the lecturers as they worked tirelessly for us all while having to deal with strike actions which shouldn’t have happened in the first place as they deserve what was promised to them. To my classmates I would like to say I have enjoyed every minute I’ve spent with you all, you are all lovely people with some incredible talent. For those who may be studying next year (including myself) I hope we all see each other next year to continue the adventure and for those who are moving on to bigger and better I wish you all the luck and success in the world. It has been a true pleasure. I look forward to the exhibition so I can see you all again before we break. I guess this is Chris signing off 🙏 #edinburghcollegeecfad #edinburghcollegefad #ecfad #fad #ual #foundation #finalmajorproject #assessmentday #portfoilio #college #student #art #creative #artist #tofriendship #goodluck #edinburgh #2019 (at Telford College) https://www.instagram.com/p/BxrUN3oBe4Q/?igshid=vv55mi01j8x7

GUYS I NEED YOUR HELP!! Ok so these are 3 potential scenes for the piece I want to create, my vision is to have a painting of one of these scenes depicting modern afflictions humans suffer from eg. Alcohol, mobile phone addiction, fast food etc. One of theses locations may be the setting I want it to be included in. The only difference will be the inclusion of people, different colours (more somber) and slight environmental destruction. Any input or help is much needed and appreciated #edinburghcollegeecfad #edinburghcollegefad #ecfad #fad #student #art #college #thumbnails #sketches #watercolour #edinburgh #princessstreet #gardens #fountain #nature #helpmedecided #input #feedback #2019 (at Edinburgh, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/BwzEMslhy0F/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1ml03sny6a787

Here is another one of #paintover done digitally on the iPad Pro with #procreate , I enjoyed doing the shading on the suit with this one but I do feel the scenery is a bit basic and bland. Would liked to have change it up a bit #digital #digitalart #ghost #killer #blood #knife #invisible #art #creative #artist #artistsofinstagram #artistsoninstagram #edinburgh #2018 (at Edinburgh, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/BrUh4iRBdnN/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=s5hjgocw9nui
