Begin again

 Thinking of picking this blog up again. I know it’s still kinda an old format and no one really uses it but I still love looking at Andreas Deja’s blog and felt inspired to maybe give this a go again.

When I first started this blog I had just started working in the games industry and was really wanting to improve as an artist in the areas I was rediscovering my love for, particularly the Disney animated style. A lot of time has passed since then and I’ve improve a fair bit and made a lot of art.

Here’s a few of my 3d work from the past few years that I still like…

Study of the Chris Sanders character “Nani” from “Lilo and Stich”

Study of Lara Croft based on a illustration from Dylan Ekren.

Sculpt of Chel from “Road to Eldorado”

Model of Chun Li of my own design.

Same as with my older posts I still continue to work on and try to improve my 2d drawing skills and I’m working on a few personal projects that I’ll share more of as I progress with them. For now here’s a few 2d pieces to give a taste of what I’ve been up to all this time, these are actually a few years old already but I have a lot of catching up to do with sharing my work…


Did this for a ‘draw this in your style’ trend that happened at the start of lockdown.

Pres Romanillos

 Saw these great pictures today, shared by Paul Briggs on twitter of Pres Romanillos animation desk, which I believe is now on display at the Walt Disney studio. Just look at those carvings!  Pres was a phenomenal artist and we lost him far too soon! I discovered him and his work after he had passed away though I’m very glad I got to grow up watching his work.  Here’s some photos of a book I own of his work, I love the way he could draw the figure, so much gesture and believable weight. Rest in peace Pres, and thanks for you wonderful art!

Character turn around

John Pomeroy's First Animation!

 John Pomeroy just shared this incredible little animation that he did where he was only 15 years old. He talks about not having any hole punches so had to line up the corners of the paper. The skill even at this age is just undeniable. I wonder if he closely referenced footage from Sorcerer's apprentice (which would of been difficult if not impossible to do at this time which I think would of been 1966, not much by way of home media)  or did he just create this from memory.  John Pomeroy is an incredibly skilled animator who started at Disney in 1973 then famously left with Don Bluth and Gary Goldman in 1979 to start making their own films that competed with Disney. He would then later return to Disney in around 1995 to continue his legendary career. The list of characters he has brought to life is almost too big to go through but some personal favs of mine is his work on Princess Daphne, The Great Owl and Milo. John now runs an Online Learning resource which I have...
