I have no explanation why this picture came to be, other than I wanted to produce something that would put these new pen's to the test. One other good thing that came from producing this picture, is I now (finally) have something that I can get printed for my good friend Adam http://adamsdigitalink.blogspot.com/<br />
<br />
Better late than never hey mate! :)<br />
<br />
(as always, looks a bit poo as a Jpeg. Hopefully a print will give it, it's clarity back?)<br />

I say different, but really this a style I used on a few picture back when I was in collage. I was a lot more experimental back then and I need to bring that back into my work this year. Having spent 3 years on a course designed around the video-games industry it had a real sobering effect upon my approach to my work and my working methods... (time to change that)<br />
<br />
Happy New Year!!! (bit late like ;)<br />

<br />
I hope to make this image my last ever in this style. This coming year, I really need to start pushing on with how I want my work to really look. I want to start working with bigger and bolder shapes and I want to start painting things in a much flatter and panel like way. I also want to start heading back towards using more traditional mediums (think this time I'm going to try Acrylic's) I'm really hoping 2012 will be the year when the cog's of creativity and opportunity start to turn for me.<br />
<br />
(think I best stock up on WD40 then) <br />
<br />
Here's to next year, cheers<br />

I really like the Knight, his structure and his movement. But, the rest of the image is a mess, I lost my confidence and self direction whilst I worked on it. With these mistakes made I know I can make the image so , so much stronger!<br />
<br />
In the meantime here is a few sketch's. Two of them are pencil crayon and biro pen and the other was done in Mr plain old pencil. Cheers<br />
<br />
(all these sketch's were done whilst I was working in my Dad's shop...good job he doesn't read this Blog, then again nobody does)<br />

I've quickly dropped a multiply layer on there just help me imagine the cave entrance. The reason I've only toned a few areas with pencil is that most of this pencil work will be lost by the time I actually finish this piece. Therefore, I've only toned the areas where I feel the pencil will act as a good texture base (mainly the rock's and bit's of metal) I've also decided to not draw any of the rock's that form around the cave entrance. I felt it would be quicker and more fun to just paint these directly onto the image, I hope this method pay's off! :/<br />

Sometimes when you visualize an image it can vary in how clearly you can see it. Sometimes you have to grind away with the pencil, trying to fill in the missing pieces and patch's that you just couldn't mentally see. Other times, the image is so clear that you can pretty much recreate the image within your first sketch. This image was very much within the context of the latter. Though, I did have a problem clearly visualizing what it was that would be coming out from it's cave to greet our brave Knight! Was it a Dragon, was it a Troll, or was it something completely different? It turn's out, it was a Swamp Troll (who knew?)<br />
<br />
With the Swamp Troll in place I very quickly set out an A3 sketch of the piece. I then scanned this into Photoshop and "flipped" the image to see all it's wonderful flaw's and imbalance's. Underneath the biro sketch I had left in the initial pencil crayon (this was a good idea) drawing from the original Troll head placement. Now looking at the image flipped I could see that the image would be a lot stronger if I kept in both the original head and newer head, after all, the troll already had four arm's, why not two heads!<br />
<br />
The image below is a half fixed version form the original sketch. There are still plenty of thing's that will be moved, or fixed, like the owl, the fox type thing and the frog's. But, I will move and fix these issues when I make the final sketch.<br />

I wanted to give it a bit of atmosphere whilst keeping the whole thing to a limited colour palette. Hopefully I've achieved that?<br />

The scenes that I want to do are all (sort of) planned out. Some of these scenes are properly planned out. Whilst other's are only visible from within the confines of my foggy and sometimes rather erratic imagination. Never the less, I think I'm pretty much ready to go!<br />
<br />
Well, I would be if I hadn't decided to squeeze in one more illustration before hand. To be fair, the piece of work that is making me stall over starting the Hobbit, is in fact of a very, very similar genre to that of the Hobbit. Therefore I'm viewing it as a practise piece rather than it's true reason of being. Which is help further stall the taking on of the Hobbit, because I'm still scared that I'll ball's it up! :)<br />
<br />
Anyway, whilst I finish this (final) piece of work. I thought I'd post this very quick sketch of a Goblin Wolf Rider. It's very hard to do something new when it comes to working on Goblin's or Ork's as they've been done so many times before. I've got something new (I hope) to bring to the design of Goblin ears*. But, as for the rest of him I've just tried to design him and the Wolf around shape structure.<br />
<br />
(* the new thing with the goblin ears wont be visible till I do some coloured concept's)<br />

Like I said in the earlier post, I've not read the book. So, this illustration comes from the few bit's that I vaguely know about Herman Melville's tale. I took those few fact's (mainly that a captain takes on a huge sperm whale!) added a load of made up element's that I knew would make for a stronger illustration and below is the final version!<br />
<br />
The thing's I've fixed since the last post:<br />
<br />
Boosted key highlights:<br />
<br />
Added an ore: (bet you never noticed, ha)<br />
<br />
Pushed the shadows further back to then be able to heighten the chroma of the lamp and it's glow. I always wanted to have the main focus area bathed in a warm yellow glow, whilst complementing the rest of the image in blue's. Looking at my version from yesterday, I didn't feel I'd taken that effect as far as I wanted. Hopefully, this final version has put that right:<br />
<br />
Hope you like<br />
<br />
(will get around to posting the thumb nail and sketchs for this piece in the next few days)<br />
<br />
Cheers.<br />

Knowing I don't have to design thing's and structure my work around the format and desires of the video games industry, has lifted a real burdening weight that lay upon my shoulder's. Now, I feel released to express my own feeling's and emotion's within my work. This was something I was never going to obtain whilst trying push my portfolio along the ridge's of both an illustration and video games market. Looking back, I should have noticed the fact that my work and the current gaming industry were never going to get on. After all, I barely play the thing's anymore and only about 1 in every 20 odd titles even makes me raise an eyebrow! (that said, Batman: Arkham City is making me geek out)<br />
<br />
With a new direction in place and my skill's within shape and structure coming along nicely. I felt it about time that I sunk my teeth into something big, something that would fully push my own ability and understanding of illustration to it's limit! I wanted to take something on that I felt very passionate about, as I wanted to work on this project for a good few month's (if need be) I also wanted something that I felt my working style and vision would stand out upon. With this criteria in place, there was only one real option for me to take (well, two actually, but I'm defiantly not ready for the other one, just yet!) I'm going to illustrate <b>The Hobbit!!!</b><br />
<b><br />
</b><br />
(yep, that's right... The Hobbit... feel my gun's ladies and gentlemen)<br />
<br />
As to wether I'm ready to take on such a challenge, well, I guess I'll only fully now the answer to that, when it's all over. Like the stories main protagonist, Mr Baggin's, I'm a little unsure about such a big adventure!<br />
<br />
Below are some work in progress/concept character design's. I'm going to treat this project like a movie and before I go into illustrating any key scene's I want a fully auditioned cast. Working on the character's also allow's me to work on the overall style and process to the project.<br />

<br />
Whilst I'm looking for work. I thought it about time that I start doing something with all the stories that I have rolling about, inside my dusty grey matter! So, I thought I'd knock up some movie/book cover type poster's from one of these stories. This piece is from an idea I had about my dog, Kai. My dog is the biggest jessy in the world, you name it, and he's scared of it! (parked motorbikes, wheelie bins, the wind, the list goes on!)<br />
Anyhow, watching him sleep, I thought up the idea that when he's in Dreamland, he imagines himself as this swash buckling hero, who works for the British government. In these stories Kai is as sharp as a cutlass and as brave as a bear and as for (the wind) he'd gladly piss into it, whilst laughing!<br />
<br />
(I have too much time on my hands don't I) The whole premise of this idea is always changing, but this is a concept poster from one of his adventures. <b>London's Calling </b>is based around this premise:<br />
<br />
London's crime is at an all time high, with men and resources stretched to cover the ongoing war with the French. Politicians rally together to form a solution. In steps the Russian inventor, Knocka Creatapopov. He let's the fat cat politicians believe that his new invention "The Bobbie" will revolutionise London's street's. No longer will crime rule over London and more importantly, no longer will the Queen's purse be tainted with wages from any police officer. "The Bobbie" will work 24hr's a day 7days a week. With money in there pockets and reassurance at there heart Knocka Creatapopov get's the green light to mass produce The Bobbie. The first few machines impress, and it's not long before London's underworld recedes back into it's murky recesses. Everything, for the London and it's greedy politicians is going to plan. Until, on the production of the 100th Bobbie, Creatapopov's real plan comes into fruition. With the street's clear and the police all but gone, Creatapopov reset's the programming of the Bobbie's. London is now gripped from within by a mad Russian and his hundred strong, robot army!<br />
<br />
A letter is sent to Mr Kai, it reads... London's Calling<br />
<br />
<br />
(think I'll do another poster with the protagonist's in it soon, just to round it up)<br />
