Scrapbook




I entered an art competition on the NZCGI forums with this piece and won a ticket to the Massive Black workshop here in NZ in November! The idea was interpret the theme 'consequence of time'. I put up a walkthrough here as part of the rules of the competition.

...and another couple of random doodles, the second is from photo reference.

Bison






A Bison skeleton drawn from life at the Auckland Museum, then a bunch of sketches I referenced from photos (trying to cartoon them up a bit), and lastly an unreferenced self portrait of myself drawing on the Cintiq that I did on the Cintiq at work.

I stumbled across a completely amazing 21 year old artist yesterday named Rebecca Sugar. Her style is both lively and spontaneous and technically accomplished, and she's also a most talented writer! This is evidenced in her quirky and affecting 12 page comic Don't Cry For Me, I'm Already Dead and her ongoing series Pug Davis. One is a short story about two brothers that love to quote the simpsons, and the other chronicles the epic space adventures of the mighty dog-person-thing Pug Davis and his camp sidekick Blouse. To top it all off she is a wonderful animator, and has a couple of pieces of her work up on her Youtube channel. You best be clicking those links!

Tinker




One random image, one drawing done based on this image for someone on DA, and a pic done for a friend's architecture project at Uni.
