STICKERS!

Another quick pic. A quick look at some stickers I've been working on. As I've only got a hand full of colours to work with I've had to match colours to characters but managed to pull some corkers I think. These don't take too long to make up and are all hand drawn so I guess each one will have a different look (if thats a good thing?). Also gonna change the SF sickfox placement thing on them, the IronMan looks alright but the Metroid stick looks like shellof so thats gonna needs fixing. Anyway keep an eye out! ES EF

Slowly but surely

Well, it's been a while since my last post (well feels like it anyway) as I think I may have been drawing too much. I was running out of idea's and more and more stuff wasn't working but I spose it's always good to just sit back and take a break from thing's. Anyway every time I hit this wall I always turn back to practicing drawing straight onto my computer using my tablet and this is my latest result. I've been totally obsessed with Blanca from StreetFighter recently I think its colours and also the fact he's some crazy jamaican jungle test subject! Don't see many characters like that knocking about. Anyway gonna leave it at that, and also leave the consoles for a bit think I started off good but don't want to drive it into the ground although I do have plans of trying the same thing with shoes and possibly flogging them on e-bay. But all at a later time. later. SF.

N.E.S

S.N.E.S

Well after having a look through some of the 8-bit artists I got inspired to scribble all over some consoles. Makes sense to make the things look pretty and have them out on show rather than collecting dust. I used Posca pens and although were a lot easier to use instead of paint they still need a few coats and was quite hard to get into the little nooks with the nibs (easy tiger). But it was a first attempt and not too shabby I think. I still have a load more consoles I plan to get through so hopefully will get better the more I go through. Tata. SF.

Predator

Hey, after the last predator post something bugged me about the predator, something wasn't right. So I decided to do this to redeem myself. Arnie's a bit off but at least the predator looks the balls! Later. SF.

Enemy predator INCOMING!

Hey so was thinking while playing Modern Warfare "what if it were an actual predator that came for you instead of the predator missile, heh" one thing led to another and the above was born. Been a lot of fun just drawing away for myself the last couple of day's. Could do this for a living, ah well. Later. SF.

Evil Dead 2 and some smartly dressed killers.

Gladigator!

Punk shoots bear

EYE-SCREAM!

This idea just popped into my head. It ain't for any particular purpose just thought I'd draw it up, can't do any harm to practice. Once done this I had the thought of doing some more play on word illustrations. Will have to wait and see how that goes though, so until then. Tata. SF.

Eureka!

After spending some time wondering how to fix the problem of my final pieces it finally dawned on me that it wasn't my technique but my canvas size. This may of been an obvious solution to some but I have a knack of over looking the obvious. Now that I realise my mistake I'm planning on returning to my previous few posts (especially the competition entries) and redoing them. And if that doesn't sort it then I'm buggered. So hopefully they should be some new posts in the next couple of days of clearer pieces. Fingers crossed. SF.

Sweaty Eskimo

So I heard though the grapevine about this website which gave you the beginning of a topic to which you would finish yourself. If I weren't an illustrator.. ..I would lose my mind is how I chose to finish the sentence and went for this detective theme where a guy is literally looking for his lost mind (well brain as i didn't know how to draw a mind!). Anyway think I may return to this as I think I'm rushing my work a bit and paying for it with the sloppiness, but it's late so I'll check it out after the weekend. Tata. SF.

Illustration Friday

This weeks topic was dessert and since I had to spend a few moments trying to remember the difference between dessert and desert, I thought that was an alright idea in itself. Again it's just a quick illustration thrown together, next week I swear I'll take the full week like I used to. Until then though. SF.

EggMag

Well so far this is going to be my entry for the EggMag double page spread.

BRIEF: Please create an illustration which shows, in your own style, that we should all aim to save electricity by turning off lights and standby buttons at night, to decrease light pollution and save energy. You can interpret this in any way you chose.

The site also gave some key words and themes to go by and from theme I came up with this idea. An abandoned room which has been overrun with vines. I added the candles (which was one of the keywords) just to show an alternate form of light. I also added the fireflies just to give some extra light and add to the feel that the outside is coming in. I also added one of those creepy cymbal monkeys for reasons I don't know, but I'm sure there's some kind of arty metaphor in there somewhere. Still not sure on the final look yet so I've just put it on here and I'll probably come back and see how I feel about it then. Anyway till later, take care. SF.

Nothing special

Hey, wasn't originally gonna put this on here but thought about it and surely that's the point of a blog? To show what you've been doing. Well this image was purely for facebook as I was sick of trying to find profile pictures that suited me and since I'm either drunk or pulling an off putting facial expression I thought why not just draw something up purely for my profile. I didn't have any idea what I wanted so just started sketching and came up with this. Reminds me of the old SantaCruz skateboard designs. Anyway, back to the grind. later. SF.
