I'm not sure if this has been used yet, its for a fashion website of some kind.

And here are some character designs:

Truth, Justice and the American Way

A one page comic about a superhero living a triple life with tragic consequences. Written by Ben Jennings and letters by Dave 'Bolt-01' Evans.

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 :,(

Work I did for jobs that didnt get me the job part 2

It's been a while since my last post, so I thought I might start with a downer. I went for a job interview recently at an e-card studio (it did not go well, I ended up breaking the interviewers pencil) and they asked me to produce 2 animations as a test.
The first was to take apart an image that was provided and animate it, no probs, it took me a few hours to finish. But the second was a toughie, an e-card about engagement. I'm not the most romantic or sentimental of people, so this was bit of a stretch for me and maybe it shows in the finished animation. Again this took a few hours to do, illustrated with Illustrator and animated with After Effects.
A few days later, I got a rejection email and was kindly offered to give some feedback, which I cowardly ignored.

4th Apocalypse Trojan sketches

May 2009

May 2009

I found these while backing up my work to DVD's, to create space on my HDD. I did a number of sketches when I was designing the Trojan character (Zyborg as I knew them from that when). Early on, I tried to keep a certain amount of realism and practicality whilst designing them, but then remembering the story is set in the future and threw caution to the wind. Before I added a Helmet mask thing on, I used the WWE/UFC fighter, Brock Lesner, as inspiration.

Like Mother, like Daughter

Here's the first page of a comic I drew (written by Ben Jenkins and Christopher Godfrey, lettered by Dave Evans) for Something Wicked, published by FutureQuake Press. I'm not too sure if I can put this up or not, but what the hell, its only one page.

AAAAHHHHHHHH TITEUFITUS!!!

Oct 2010

This is what happens to you when you draw Titeuf all day, you get Titeufitus. First one slowly emerges, then another pops out and then another. And before you know it, your head is covered in Titeuf's.

Zombies!

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.
