Bromance logo attempt

This was my first idea for a logo for an up and coming company, I obviously have no experience with layouts and such as I am not a design student but with some work I could improve enough to make something good xD

My ideas for this terms project

So these are my ideas I was deciding between today in class, I like a few of them which was what was making it so difficult to work on them as I didn't know which one I was continuing with...

Phileas the Evil Cat -

The story of a cat that lacks the capacity for evil, despite being the pet of an evil genius.

an attempt at drawing Phileas

 

Big and Bad

The story of how the big bad wolf went from a normal wolf to the evil shadow we see echoed in so many storybooks these days…

There was also an idea to show the wolf as not such a bad guy where he went to help a little girl who got lost in the woods... This was a sketch to go with this idea...

 

Big Bad Wolf

Scotty the amazing travelling dog

A dog’s adventures around the world, learning about the culture of said place.

Scotty the Dog...

 

Bat Sh*t Crazy

Meet the Shot Family, who all live in the old tree together. The family of bats is charming but completely insane, in fact Bat Shot Crazy. They have to find a new home and when they do, they bring their crock of madness with them.

 

Uncle Boris Shot

Little Ghost Girl

The story of a ghost who spends her new eternity playing heinous pranks on the visitors of her haunt…

This is the idea I think I will be doing. After speaking to my classmates and Dave, I've decided I will at least do Phileas' story and possibly a couple of the stronger ones later on as possible side projects as I still like them. However I really like some of the ideas that have been suggested and developed on in the critique for this idea. The plot and the girl's back story need a little tweaking and I can imagine for the character design I will be taking influences from this animation, I really like the style in which it has been done and think it could work well with my character should I design her in a simalar style or look.

More on this later - I am very tired presently...

 

Might finally be getting free of the "I can't draw" stint I've been stuck in - Illustration Friday - Lonely

Decided to look at Illustration Friday's topic this week and thought it would be worth a try... although what I have drawn is probably something loads of others have drawn I'm just pleased I'm getting back into the swing of things after so long in this frustrating situation of everything I draw being horrendously bad... baby steps... anyway... this is my entry for "Lonely"




Pencil Sketch - Lonely

Cheers

The reason I have nothing to show for my week...

Okay so at work on Thursday I was trying to replace the blade in a scalpel and I stabbed myself in the hand... the pliers I was using slipped because the blade was stuck and the blade went straight in there x3 there was lots of blood but thankfully I didn't need stitches which was my main concern *shudders* 'needles' xD

Of course this was such a genius idea as it was indeed my left hand - my dominant hand that I stabbed which has made tasks difficult x3 So no drawings until I can hold a pencil properly again x3 Sorry but that's the way the cheese is cut...

So here is a lovely image of my hand taken by one of my bosses, Kathy as we sat in A&E waiting to get it looked at...

Cheers

Summer Job

I have a job - it is my official excuse for having done not much since we broke up for Uni...

I started about a week and a half ago working for a printing company in Kingston Park, Newcastle... I really like it there - everyone is so helpful and friendly =D One of the girls I now work with said if we aren't busy she's going to help me make friends with Adobe Illustrator so I can line stuff up properly and maybe I'll get good at artwork that'd put me in good stead if I ever needed to do design work to send to a printers like where I work for some kind of banner or whatever...

At the minute I'm cutting everything out - it's so busy so there isn't time to do much other than get some much needed practice with a ruler and scalple... it might sound boring but it's great - if I get bored I can always move onto a different job as long as I don't forget about the first... oh and I learned how to cold laminate =D

So nothing regarding sketches or anything upon which I can report x3 maybe next time...

Cheers

Hadrian House Care Home wall mural

Yesterday afternoon, we were painting a wall mural in Blaydon, Gateshead. I am very happy personally with the results of our combined efforts and Leonie, Ingrid, Stephen, Andrew and myself all had great fun in the process.
The Hedgehog and left butterfly is by Ingrid, the trees by Andrew, the owl, drawn by Andrew and painted by Leonie, the toadstools by Leonie, the mole and right butterfly by myself and the sun by Steve.

We're returning hopefully to paint up the background later on in the Summer; can't wait...

Cheers

WOW so much to report!

Wow so hand in is today and I can now post everything that I have completed =D

I have finished my 3D character, and my show reels; I have finished all of my typeing up =D

Everything is virtually sorted...

This is the final walk cycle for Bear - my final character =D he could be done better but this will do... I wish he was better but my skills aren't advanced enough to problem solve in the few hours I've had before hand in... forward bound...

This is my short show reel, the task is to guess how many animations I can put in before the mouse can blow his balloon up.

This is my longer version in which I have had to include the animations I am not as proud of.

Cheers
