Naughty Bear

I got a treat for all you out there in internet land, a game you probably not heard of called Naught Bear, and I must say its an amazing game! What is more fun than running around an island killing off cuddly bears one by one!



Its amazing and I would recommend that all of you try it now!

On another note I thought I should post a video of a trailer I worked on during college at South Thames college with Bradley and Daniel. It was for a competition to go see a studio in Soho which we went to go see (since we won :D ), they had graphics tablet the size of tables and processors the size of beds!



I still have the original concept art and storyboards lying around for this in my room. It was great fun and I wish we could do it again :D.

TVU

I have just started at my new university in Ealing, Thames Valley University, its pretty sweet comparing to my old one, there is a book shop inside!? only wish they sold graphic novels and I would be set for the next three years xD!



I bought this Comic that Ashley Woods did the cover art for called Zombies vs Robots, sounds awesome and it is awesome! The first issue has like 3 stories inside it, the last story which is done by Gabriel Hernandez and the artwork was amazing! So I went to have a look around on the internet and found his blog and I did a quick study of a picture of an old lady he did.

Tim the man

Me and Tim decided after a really long time to start drawing together xD well on msn and using photoshop. We both say a word and stick them together and try to draw the first thing that comes into our minds, and then show each other the image and get some feedback so I thought ill post my favourite two images, one from me and one from Tim.

This one was done by Tim, the two words were powerful panda, and he did a really nice one too! "its actually a guy in a panda costume" says Tim on msn before I make the post ^^.

Photobucket

And here my favourite one I did, the two words was element catcher.



Time to do some more drawing with Tim and ill keep you guys posted ^^

Eid Mubarak Everyone!

Happy Eid! well its 3:34am but its still Eid! And I'm here with my post, some studies and a little video for you guys to watch. I continued with my studies, working on my poses rather than style on Ashley wood so these images may not be nice to look at but there great for getting the pose down for drawings. But first! I want to show you a video on basically the only game I play as a games dev student... Heroes of Newerth!



Its a Great game, its a DBG (Dota based game) Dota being defence of the ancients which was a very successful mod for Warcraft 3, where you control one hero (well some heroes have minions) and the objective is to destroy the enemies sacrificial shrine or world tree while defending your own, its a very tactical game which involves a lot of teamwork and is very social for that! Its best played with friends so they are doing a trial period for anyone interested, people who have an account can give a trial code to 2 of there friends to have 10 free matches! That's around 5-10 hours of game play,sounds bad but it gives you a good taste of the game. Also, the game doesn't have any monthly fees! And its quiet cheap comparing to the games on the high street.

Oh I'll post another image of something from my portfolio with it just to make this post less bare!

Photobucket

That's the study and here is the image from my portfolio.

Photobucket

I know he is tilt way to the left but I drew this when I was in my 2nd year at college, like 1st semester, it was for the year project I was doing with Bradley Austin! We had a finished trailer and a game idea with art and 3d models and everything by the end, if you haven't seen the trailer you can find it on my portfolio in the about section!

HAPPY EID!

Hello World!

Hello World! First post just to get things started, I'm doing this to make sure I do get some drawings done and keep it up, so yeah, this will be like my digital sketchbook... yeah... sounds good, lets hope I keep up my end of the bargain! So lets start it off with some stuff!

Photobucket

This is a study I did on one of my favourite artists, Ashley Wood, It was a quick digital sketch in Photo shop, I don't like the brush I was using so I have decided to re do it in ink! and try to fix my scanner... and wait for my new ink pen to arrive... so yeah that might be awhile...
