Shark Culling live project.

Well exciting stuff everyone. While speaking with a good friend who is a motion graphic designer I have been asked to produce some artwork for his latest animation about shark culling in Australia.

I'll be posting through when it's finished so watch this space! :)

Check him out as I said he is a really good friend and his work is pretty awesome.

If I Were… A location. [Week 2]

This week I had to create an image of a location. I looked at the sort of style I like which is quite dark and heavy use of black. Since last week I have found a new love for silhouettes so I thought I would carry it through and give something a try using my new found interest.

I also stepped out of my comfort zone and relied on photoshop to give the effect of the different colour swirls created in space. I am really pleased with the outcome. although still basic i will definitely be experimenting more with this.

If I Were… a Film. Week 1

I was set a one week project with the title "if I were a... Film" we had to make a front cover for a DVD without any type.

I really struggled with this as I couldn't come up with an image relative to what I like to draw and what genre it would be.  After pulling my hair out trying to force an idea I gave up for an hour and  took some time out. I find this to be extremely important  as it can be disastrous mentally and you end up burning out scraping for an idea.

I managed to  come up with the silhouette of a woman in the 60's. I like old fashions and styles in all the decades but this was new for me as I usually go for the 40's or 50's. I think a lot of my work can also be quite dark so I wanted more of a thriller/ horror symbol.

I finally came up with this image.
