A short film I made for my MA:

Here’s my favorite drawing from it:

And the animatic, just because:

I’m going to upload some of the backgrounds and the storyboards later. Some of those are kinda interesting.

A Bunch of Drawings

November 10, 2009 – 9:40 pm

Super early character development work for the MA film I want to make.

I was going to weave out the better drawings, but in the end couldn’t be bothered, so I’m just posting up all of it. The first pitch for this stuff is in a week. Don’t think I’ll be showing much of this though.

Next up: The finished model sheets.

Caricatures

November 7, 2009 – 11:22 am

Yeah, yeah. I’ve been catching up with scanning everything from the past month or two. All these were done from photographs. I really want to get better at drawing caricatures – these have been coming out a bit flat. Fun as hell to do though.

Incidentally, the Abertoir poster made the BBC Wales front page. Pretty neat.

More Vocaloid Fanart

From a few months back. I just found these and realised I’d never scanned them.

Abertoir Poster – The Final Version

September 20, 2009 – 10:53 am

Just got my hands on one of the posters for the Abertoir Horror Festival:

Very cool. A good job was done with the post work. I hear it’s going to be blown up to massive poster sizes closer to the time.

Abertoir Horror Fest poster

A poster I drew for the upcoming and sure to be awesome annual Horror Film Festival, Abertoir, held at the Aberystwyth Arts Center.

Paint by Peter Stevenson.

I can’t recommend enough people go to this if they’re in the area. I went last year and it was a blast.

Fanart time

I’ve been really into Vocaloid stuff recently. I’m going to paint the first one eventually.

I did this one first, and I don’t really like it. Based off of Love is War, but it really doesn’t do that song justice. The rough:

Some K-ON! It is the best selling anime TV series of all time, after all. Such is the power of schoolgirls with guitars I guess.

If you don’t get the point of this picture, consider yourself normal.

Kinda crappy, but whatever.

A little bit of animation

June 25, 2009 – 1:33 pm

Finally got around to rendering this thing. I animated this in just under 5 weeks, last Christmas. While I wish I could take credit for all the neat designs and settings, I can’t. The whole thing was taken from scenes and designs out of the truly awesome Gunnerkrigg Court comic. It’s worth pointing out I’m not affiliated, endorsed or any such thing with the comic or its author – I’m just a fan – I made this thing entirely for my own education and amusement.

It’s also worth pointing out I never quite finished making this thing, hence why some shots seem incomplete, especially near the end.

Note: There’s no sound on this one – never did get around to sorting that out.

I might try to throw together a page of storyboards/layouts/animation breakdowns later on. Though people should just read the comic. It’s really very good. Or better still, buy it. It’s Neil Gaiman approved. What more could anyone want?

Some more stuff… from 4 months ago

May 29, 2009 – 8:28 pm

These where a bunch of character ideas for a comic I’m never going to do. One day I might actually finish something, anything, I start. Some day, but not today or any time soon, but some day. Probably.

Been notising a bit of sameface while scanning these. I should get on that.
