Bristol

I really enjoyed the Inverness line drawing process so thought I would have another crack at one, using one of my favourite places the city of Bristol for inspiration. Having lived there for many years it was actually harder to think of what to omit rather than include as it's so full of character and landmarks. I have tried to narrow it down to the most distinctive buildings and features that sum up Bristol to me personally. From left to right included is; Clifton suspension bridge, S.S. Great Britain, Cabot Tower, Wills Memorial Building, Park Street, Millennium Square, College Green, Bristol Cathedral, M-Shed Dock Cranes, Bristol Balloon Fiesta, The Avon Ferry, Pero’s Bridge,  Arnolfini, St Augustine's Parade, Temple Meads Train Station. Best viewed in full size. (Just give it a click).

Hector The Victorian Gentlebot

Currently I'm putting together a pitch for an original animated children's short called 'Hector the Victorian Gentlebot'. The premise revolves around the main character Hector (pictured above) a robot created in Victorian times but awoken in the modern day. At this point in time it's currently written episodically but that may change. The show would feature a well spoken and fool hardy Hector, trying to get to grips with modern life and technology, often to his detriment and at odds with his Victorian sensibilities. I hope to get a few animated tests finished soon, to accompany.

Flint the Dog Illustration

Just a quick one today. Here's a painting knocked up for my brothers birthday to go on the front of his card. It's of his favourite canine pal Flint the dog.

Isometric Lighthouse

Have been really captured by the process of Isometric drawing recently and thought I would experiment by producing a landscape cube vector. In time I hope to produce a series of different cubes each with it's own distinct landscape.

Lumberjack Character Design

Decided to create this Lumberjack fellow as it's been a little while since I have done any character design, particularly with a view to be animated (at some point) in a traditional style. It was first hand drawn in pencil before being scanned and digitally coloured. It's based on the art style from one of my favourite animation series 'Regular Show' by JG Quintel.
