New Jungle Layout

I've just finished this layout. It was inspired by the layouts of Armand Serrano. Worth checking out his blog. I've added it to my links menu.
Thinking about painting this up, hopefully if I get the time and a wacom tablet. A cintiq would be nice too.

Layout Studies

Some of the studies I made before drawing any of the jungle layouts. I looked at Disney's Tarzan, the Jungle book, photo reference and other images I came across on the internet.

Art exhibition

I was asked to produce some work in 3D for an art exhibition called ‘A New Dynamic’ by Central Artists Initiative of which I was a member of ( not sure if I still am a member, i'll have to check on that one? I decided to go with a bit of dark humour with this one. Eveything is made in 3d and then has some photoshop effects applied.
note to self: remove lens flare, what was I thinking?

While searching through old work

While looking through old work I came across these paintings. Couldn't find any large images of these. My guess was I lost them when I had that harddrive failure way back. Damn!, lost a year a halfs work with that hard drive, including all the commission oil paintings I did (which I cant get again as they were sold off). But on the bright side at least I found these two images. Sorry they're so small.

Sea scape - 305 x 406 - Oil on Canvasboard

Sketches from a Notebook

Some scans from a old sketchbook(about one year) that I never got round to filling. The top two images are concepts for a larger layout. Dont think i`ll get around to doing it anytime soon. The lower two were just for fun.
