Coming up with more Concepts ....Hopefully

Hi, this is just a quick concept design I came up with. I have not been uploading to my blog as frequently as I use to since I am doing a lot more art work outside of my blog but am unable to upload it. Therefore I am hoping to design more background and concept art like this and to actually upload it when I do.

Just Some Background Concepts

Hi all.

These are just a few environment/concept designs I thought of.

South & North (My short film)

Hi all.

These are the characters and visual development for my final major animation which has now been completed and took 2 months to develop and produce.

The Bubble Effect

Hi there!

These are the character illustrations and pieces of background art I designed for an animated campaign I created for NDCS. This is a leading deaf children's charity that helps children with this disability around the world. Hopefully what I have created will help raise awareness of the effects that being deaf can have on a child growing up. The animation should be featured on their site soon-ish, when it has been I will post a link here :)

Run Rat Run

Action Sheet

Turn Around & Expressions

These are a few designs that I came up with a while back for a project at university and thought it was about time I uploaded them.

Rough Sketches

Hi. These are a few rough character designs that I came up with. I decided to do these since I was told once I should focus more on the life and shading of my characters and remove the colour and secondly since I was inspired by a technique that Nikolas Ilic uses which I found out is from a site names Cup O' Doddle. I usually draw a squiggle, and then from that form a character, since I like to allow people to see where the illustration stemmed from.

Back to College

Hi, This is a little something I created when I went back to my old graphic design course at college to teach. The students had to design a poster for the Olympics which wasn't the typical style, so whilst helping them I thought I might as well make my own and this is what I came up with. Its nice to upload a piece of graphics besides just illustrations for a change since this is where my interest in animation started.
