Exams!

Hey there.

It's been quite a while since I last posted, due to the ending of the commercial project (which we are not allowed to show yet) and a week of writing papers, and some work on other projects which I am not ready to show either.

However, this week we began our two weeks of exams, where I am doing a concept art assignment! I will show more work when I have it, but for now I thought it might be interesting to show how I put together my reference material in Mural.ly

Soon I'll have some space stuff to show, very excited about this!

Late Night Sillyness

Sometimes it's good to remember that the reason I got into art is for fun.

Yet More Drawings

So I'm drawing pretty much every day at home in an attempt to improve my skills as much as possible by the end of the year, either digitally or in my sketchbook. Here are some of my recent sketches. The subject matter is kind of random, from fanart to Dungeons and Dragons monsters. The practice is what matters.

Until next time!

More DnD Art

So the commercial project is moving along smoothly, but there is not much CG work to be done when we have no backgrounds to paint! So instead I'm painting DnD stuff at home.

More to come!

Commerical Project Week 1

So this week we started on a Commercial Project, where we will be creating adverts and pitching them to real clients, as well as working alongside them, to produce a finished product. This is quite different from our previous projects where we've had complete artistic control.

That said, this week has been a flurry of idea generation and pitching, and now the client has settled on one of our ideas, titled 'Cracks', which you'll see more of in the coming weeks.

Until then, this is the short film that the same team produced a few weeks ago, Breakfast Jam. Featuring yours truly as the scientist!

Until next time!

Easter Break - Delve

So I spent most of my Easter break asleep instead of drawing, but in the last two evenings I finally got back to scribbling.

Since the end of first year I'd hoped to pitch a DnD themed film at some point, but I don't think TAW is the right place to do it anymore, as they made The Reward just a year ago, a film which covers a lot of the same ground as the one I might like to do. Nevertheless, here are a few characters I put together for the ideas I had, which I'm tentatively calling 'Delve'.

Maybe one day I'll be able to use them for something. Tomorrow we start on the Commerical Project, so we'll see where that goes!

Story Week - Breakfast Jam

So the past two weeks have been very busy due to our first pitch arriving and two consecutive weeks spent on story. As a result I haven't been producing much worth showing lately, mostly rough sketches.

This week however we were challenged to make a short live-action film at the school, with only 5 shots allowed and the constraint that a character would have to exchange something with another. Together our group made Breakfast Jam, which we will show tomorrow to the rest of the school. So I got to make a poster for the film. I took a lot of inspiration from an infamous, award-decked poster for the film 'Her'.

Tomorrow we clean up the final edit and then it's Easter break, where hopefully I'll draw or paint something worth showing. 

Until next time!
