Dreamworks and the Croods

Last week I received a package with a few Croods items from the guys at Dreamworks animation studios. Some plushy toy characters and an art of book worth having a look at! ( The alcohol was not part of the package ) A gift for leading the art on the Croods game at Rovio last year.

Was a hectic project, but learnt a lot.

While you were sleeping

There is little in life I enjoy more than the sound of my luggage wheels rumbling over the ground early in the morning. Staying up the whole night, drinking, and then setting out on a new adventure as the sun rises, passing through empty streets as the people of the town sleep.
As I will soon depart on a new adventure I thought I would quickly make a post.

Nothing to say about this one. Just thought I'd post something before I head out for the day. Clear skies, brilliant sun, cold beer and street markets.

Mumm-ra

A portrait of Mumm-ra, from that epic old cartoon series ThunderCats. Maybe I should do some more of these, or maybe I should remain lethargic in all my artistic endeavours. If my environment should change too quickly, I might become unsuitable, ill-equipped, and soon I will render myself extinct.

And now for a few glasses of wine while I pack up my bags yet again, as will be flying soon and I want to make sure that I am either drunk or hungover by the time I'm in the air. Never wanting to be one that breaks such a standard tradition.

Skull-Fucker

I'm really enjoying the new Zenbook. For the first time I have a fully mobile studio capable of handling anything I can throw at it. I thought I would try a more 'finished' type piece today, something that could perhaps be used as a book cover or illustration. I normally only do these for jobs, and rarely ever do finished pieces for myself. In this I was mostly interested in getting some sort of transparency to the skin, and keeping the rest quite simple. I think my inspirations for this type of art are self apparent. I guess Skelator was also on my mind from the week before, this could be a re-design.
