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!

Morrigan rotation animation

 Little loop rotation of the character Morrigan. I’m enjoying working traditionally, I need to start working through some proper exercises though.

My first paper animation

So far all my 2d animation practice and work has be done digitally. I have owned a peg bar and disk for a while but not knowing what I was doing, I bought the cheapest, largest paper available at the time. I had no idea the mistake this was for a beginner. So I’ve had a huge stack of really cheap flimsy 16 field paper that I just have really struggled to use.  As I’ve worked through more tutorials I’ve learnt even good quality 16 field can be difficult to flip and beginners are recommended to go smaller, also because my paper is so thin and flimsy the paper just buckles and collapses on its self as you try to flip. I’ve since bought some high quality 12f paper and the difference is night and day, I was really working in hard mode. All that said because I have so much of this flimsy paper I don’t want it to go to waste so I’m using it more for general drawing practice. Yesterday I sketched out a quick drawing of Chun Li from Street Fighter and well, before I knew it I had stuck anot...
