Bandages and all!

With the initial sketch completed, the vector lines are underway on our Egyptian mummy! I'm using a combination of line thicknesses for the outline on this one, as I think if I use the same throughout for the bandages, it could look a little much and be a little heavy!

Halloweenies!

With Halloween on the horizon, I thought the next batch of sketches should have a slightly creepy theme! So we got out our sketchbook and got busy!

The end results will be showing up on the site shortly and will hopefully include an Egyptian mummy, a mad scientist (with creepy assistant in tow) a witch on her broomstick, plus a couple of others ( who will remain a secret until completed!)

Hello! I'm a wide mouth frog!

Finally had a few minutes spare to get this little froggie finished! Found that to get over the issue of the 'judders', I needed to keep the body as one and all of the facial expressions as separate layers. A little more work involved I hear you say, but it did pay off, as we now have a chirpy, not to mention chatty, little chap currently on the homepage - check him out!

Twittering frogs!

Ok, so now we have a series of froggies ready to be turned into animation frames. Tha main problem I have at the moment is although they've been overlayed EXACTLY on top of each other, when converted to pixels, they are ever-so slightly different (grrr). Meaning that I get a slight 'juddering' effect when the animation is played - back to the drawing board me thinks!

Updates to my Twitter account

Had a little brainwave for my Twitter posts involving a talking frog... don't worry, it'll all make sense shortly! Here's a little taster...

The Demon Postman - continued!

I'm almost there with my illustration of the demon postman. All pencil lines have now been completed as vectors and the majority of the base colours added. Just the extra details and shading, and probably some tweaking to go and then I think we'll be there!

Back from Cornwall

All back from the brief break on cornwall, sporting a funky new pumpkin tattoo, which I'm very pleased with. Barry at 'In The Skin' tattoo in Penzance has done a fantastic job, as I only supplied him with the outline and granted him carte blanche as far as the colours go.

If you're after an absolutely top-notch tattoo, Barry is your man! Save your pennies and head down to see him! www.penzance-ink.com
