Exo-Concept 2

April 20, 2008

Ok, these will probably come few and far and all that, but here’s another one that I knocked up the other day. I’m going to try and start using Open Canvas (the free version) again for sketches. What you see here is the rough and a colour WIP. If you’ve been reading this sorry-assed, much [...]

Fired Up

September 18, 2005

OC Playback file Wow, I’ve seen so much great art in the last week I feel pretty fired up about getting back into the swing of things with Illo Friday. I still can’t quite believe my two weeks off are over already, and there’s every sign that work is going to be just as frenzied [...]

Boing

September 15, 2005

OC playback file I can’t quite believe that I’m nearly at the end of my two weeks off. Where the hell did it go? I’ve had precisely one lie in, thanks to Royal Mail and their worse than useless recorded ‘get up early day after day to sign for a parcel that never comes’ delivery [...]

Ulp…

August 14, 2005

Well I was going to blog about the fact that I’ve been giving a trial version of Alias Sketchbook Pro a run, and how impressed I was that virtually all the issues I’d bitched about had been addressed.

August 6, 2005

OC playback file I’m a bit crestfallen. My Wacom intuos 3 came with quite a nice array of nibs when I bought it; four standard, one spring loaded and one ‘felt pen’ nib. I fell in love the with the felt pen immediately. It has a really nice natural feel to it, and also makes [...]

The End of All Things

July 24, 2005

I’ve finally finished buggering about with the site for the time being. The last addition being Technorati Tags, a plugin by Ben O’Neill (hopefully I’ve spelt that right, it’s crunched into one word on the site). So I thought I’d slap a quick digital paint I did the other night, took about 20 mins. My [...]

June 25, 2005

OC playback file Rodent-Robot.. geddit? Ok, it’s lame I know it is, but I’ve never been very good with werds. I have lots of respect for people who can channel their feelings and opinions through words on a page, I can’t.. so sticking to messing about with a [digital] pencil is as close as I [...]

Tilting at Windmills

June 17, 2005

OC playback file Yow, it’s hot. Not the lovely sunny hot that comes with a nice cool breeze and a bit of sunshine. It’s the oppressive muggy heat that by rights, should break with a good thunderstorm. But seeing as we rarely get anything as interesting as that.. it’s just oppressive, muggy and almost impossible [...]
