Brand New Week

A couple of submissions for today, see how many I can post up in a week aye! :-)

"Arriba! Arriba!"

"The Balance Act" - originally was going to create several different animals, the first being an Elephant, but it just didn't look right, so stuck to my guns and went with 3 Billy Goats Gruffs instead. Might do another Circus piece with a Uni Cycle/ Tight Rope Walker or something. see how things go.

Wednesday's Submittion " Autumn Leaves" - Wanted to stick with using similar colours, so began creating the leaves, then the bugs, and then everything else just followed. ^-^

Oh My Cupcakes

Latest Vector piece with Cupcakes! ^-^

Lush Lollies

As I was browsing online over the last couple of days looking for a theme to use, I ended up looking at old 1980's plus other Lollipops & Ice Creams. hence the choatic outcome from the image down below. ^-^

Kawaii Overload

Back again with some lovely more Vector work, seems I've got my creative flare back and now I can not stop illustrating with the spare time I've got at the mo, while still inbetween Game Projects. Better make the most of my time as I'm not sure when I'll be able to create so many vector pieces again. These I have created over the last couple of days.

Enough said! ^-^ I like cute things.

Creative Spark

Thought I had lost my creative spark, but nope it's still there! :D As a little taster for upcoming art I've been working on this week, here's my first vector piece as it's been ages where I have been inspired by all this Summer rain. Typical British Summertime. Oh Yay! Hehe!

"Yeti Rain" I Created this at work inbetween Game Projects at the mo, so can spend some needed time creating lovely Vector work once again. There's is more yet to come! ;-)

Back

Blimey it's been ages since I was on here, didn't really help when I hadn't forgotten my logging in details and have had to start all over again! This time I'm going to try and commit my uploads. So to start the ball of again here's a piece that I created as a design for a tee Competition. "Cute Bunny Critter" Didn't get anywhere but the fun is taking part at the end of the day! ^-^

Lego Indy Concepts

Before any Lego Game projects were finalised, and who was working on what project, I had a stab at creating some scenes from the lastest Indy Jones film in Illustrator.

The Big Chill

First new piece of art to start of the new year with. Been inspired by all this snow malarky the UK has been having lately. It got up to -18c last night, blimey! Friggin Freezing! Might create a snow angel piece. See where I go from there! Hope you like!

Vectors

Last lot of images for this week and today, I think I've submitted quite a few some how...ooops!

Designing A Munny

About a couple of years ago I brought a DIY Toy2R Munny toy and customized it to a mad scientist. I think I've got it lying around somewhere back at home on one of my many bookshelves.

And Again....

More Vector stuff to add to the collection. I did debate on sticking any of the old works on here to begin with, but then I thought, what the feck...why not...

Old Works Continued....

Well that's just daft only submitting 5 images at a time. Here's some more.

Old Works

Here are a few old vectro inspired works which i did aaaaaages ago.

The Secret Life of Bee's

Yep you guessed it watched the film last night, and thought it was a genuinely lovely story. Wanted to create something to do with Honey Bee's.

A Robin and His mate

Last posting for tonight, as I'm off home. Sticking with the Retro Cartoon theme. I quite pleased how this one came out. Spent the last hour and half creating it. Might make a seasonal theme or something, but that shall have to wait until tomorrow.

Beasties

Wow I'm on a roll with artwork these days, probably has I've got some freetime on my hands to update my portfolio. Today's submittion is "Beasties From Under The Bed". The kitty in the image is supposed to be of my Cat Alfie.

Owl's Retreat

Been looking at the world of Mary Blair today, quite liked how she stylised tree's and backgrounds etc. Thought I'd have ago, here's my outcome for today's piece.

Seriously

Right seriously I am back to get this blog up and rolling. Wow I haven't posted anything up on here since May! May! Blimmin eck! I should really balance DevArt and Blogspot together, but I've been so busy with work and other projects, I haven't had the time. So as I have time to kill for the next couple of weeks, as the game I've been working on for the past last year "Lego Rockband" is about to be finished and sent off to be punlished for the release date. Anyhoo a couple of days ago I finished a fanart piece for a competition that based on my DeviantArt page. See link for more info about it;

Original Concepts & Sketch by the talented Bobby Chiu from the Imaginism Team

Colourist by Becky Ballantine (Moi!)

This is my entry, completely created in Illustrator as that's my strong point, hopefully some people might like it. But it was for a bit of fun, and to pass the time by. Am trying to think what else I could create....

Left & Came Back Again

Okay okay I admit I haven't been looking after this website very well. Been keeping a busy and the amount of websites to my name is silly, so am whittling all my work down to a few sites, so I can keep on track and the fact I've moved house, life is peachy!

Am working on a few pieces of new artwork as we speak...well not at this very moment as I'm in work, but at home am working on a few ideas. then will scan them in and illustrate them so I can post on here at long last. Hopefully within the next couple of weeks! Whoop!

Totally Illustrator

All last week at work I had nothing to do, while everybody else was running around like headless chickens stressing out how to fix all the bugs in the game. It's all finished now and it's a brand new start to another week. But this is what I got up to that week. The 1st piece is called "The Lotus Pond" - now originally I created this drawing when I was in my last year at Uni for a storyline for a film I had, but the tutors of the time weren't convinced of the storyline. so I've dug it out after 5 years and decided to illustrate it. Image is 100% created in CS3 Illustrator, no Photoshop whatsoever. Took me in total about a day and a half to complete it. (tho technically in my mind, I can still do more to the backgound vines).

The second piece I'm adding today I created out of a whim, something to pass the time by. After searching through the net, I was inspired to create a Dandelion. So This piece is called "Fragile" as Dandelion's when they're seeding are very dainty and fragile. Hope you like.

Tiki

A couple of weeks ago I was surfing the net, as I had nothing much to do at work, a bit like today, and was looking at forms of Tiki Art, styles like Shag art and Disney's Enchanted Tiki Room Concept Art. So I fancied trying to create my own version. Here's what happened.

Fanart

Okay I'll try again, and hopefully if this should not work I'm going to through a quite hissy fit! lol! Just Kidding! I'm not like that!

Today I'm going to submit to fanart vector pieces I've created quite recently. Due to the heavy work load and the final deadline to finish the DS & Wii game I'm working on, my spare time is quite tight. So these should buy my time a little bit til I can submit some more!

The 1st one is one of those lovable Human Fat Blobs "The adipose", seen from the new series in Doctor Who. I couldn't resist in taking the plunge and creating something to do with them. I hope they make official plushies of them soon. Coz I'll defintley buy one, they're just way to cute! apparently the BBC took somebody to court due to the fact they madde they're own version and stuck them online so people could buy them. Check out this link to read more about the story. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/7400268.stm But this is my version of the little critters.

The 2nd piece of Fanart I'm submitting is taken from my fav artist's work Michel Gagne. You can see his link to his website at the bottom of this blog. I must of been a fan of his for at least 8 years already. Now the bunny his designed by his own hand, I've just simply coloured in and exaggerated a wee bit. I was bored one night before going home in the studio, and fed up of staring at some work I had been working all day long on. I just needed something else to distract myself from for a bit, and this is was I conjucted up, hope you like.

Rainbows and all that

Lately most of my artwork as contained a Rainbow theme, it's probably due to the warm climates over the last couple of weks. About time too, I thought it would never stop being cold and windy! Here's a Vector piece I created about a week ago. No Characters involved just the elements. Makes me feel all happy inside! awww!
