Apocalyptic Characters

I did these designs a while ago, the character designs are for a comic idea that I've been working on for a few years.
These are initial designs, which I plan to rework and add changes.

I've got the first issue worked it out in my head, I just have to be bothered to draw it.

I drew this for a group called "We Are Minus 10", who help and advise creatives with their careers.

Gingerbread Man

Again, this is for a kids app telling the story of The Gingerbread Man.

Cinderella

I did these for a company that make learning apps for kids.

Cosmic Tea

These are a couple of designs for an animation I had planned to animate for someone.

Random 3DS doodles

Here are some doodles from my 3DS, I got bored of having to restart my Fire Emblem game and found myself playing with the note feature (which seems to not work with GBA games).

Work I did for jobs that didnt get me the job part 3

This first piece was for a small gaming company. Before the interview, they wanted to see what I can do their brief, so I spent some time creating these two, sent it to them but never got a reply.

These images were for a music video pitch. I worked with my friend, Joe Lea, to produce a really good treatment, but after a week things weren't looking to good. It was to be a noir type narrative with comic visuals, where the heroine goes on a crusade to reclaim her stolen records. Ending with a climatic battle in a room of mirrors, like Enter the Dragon, but more frenetic. However it was not to be :,(

Knock Knock

I did this comic last year, written by Ben Jennings and Christopher Godfree, and art by me.

I had a couple of weeks to draw, ink and colour it, though the layout was done, it was a push to get this finished.

Avian Animations

This is what I'm working on at the moment. Like the dog animations, it's for an app aimed at toddlers. Again these were animated with After Effects, and this time round a lot easier to animate aswell.

Dog animations

Here are some animations for an app I'm working on. It's aimed at toddlers, when you tap on the dog, the dog will do something. I've animated with After Effects before, but this was the first with characters.

Work I did for jobs that didnt get me the job

So, this is my blog, somewhere where I can dump my work and occasionally moan.

 The stuff I'm gonna post won't be in any order, so the quality will be a bit random.

May 2010

 I did this picture for a job position, where they wanted me to produce some samples from a brief. It was an educational email news letter aimed at 6-17yo's. I spent a few a hours on them, emailed it and never heard from them again (this is going to be a common theme in my posts). I actually forgot that I didn't get a reply from them, I feel a little disheartened now.

June 2010

Again, this was for a job, where they wanted me to produce 10 frame animation samples before an interview. Going against the trend, I turned the job down (I wasn't offered the job but they wanted me to do a work trial) for another job. The interview didn't go too well, so i doubt I would of got the job anyway. But It was cool to say no thanks for once.

June 2010

 June was a busy month, I applied to a lot of jobs and the ones that got back, wanted me to prove I can do the job and I was like "what?!................... oh alright then". This image was for a job where they were making an illustrative animation (not sure if I can show this or not). So I started drawing it on cheap black paper with chalk with the image they provided that I had to copy. The copying wasn't a problem but I couldn't get the detail they wanted with the materials I had, and when they called me, I got them mixed up with another job I had applied for and I didn't come off too well. They never got back to me.
