Possible Teepublic T-shirt concepts

 I got this silly little idea to do some T-shirts for Teepublic. I'm not sure if I will do them but here are some concepts I came up with.

 This one I finished but ultimately rejected.

Doodles

 Just some doodles I have been drawing over the past few days.

This is a redesign of Crash Bandicoot to make him more Bandicoot like.

  The continuation of my Everything Infinity series.

 Olaf. I really like this little guy.

 More ideas for my next children's book.

 Just some cartoony woman doodles.

Robin Williams

I am shocked and saddened by the news that Robin Williams has died from suicide at the age of 63. May he rest in peace.

(I'm aware that many people have drawn the Genie as tribute to him but I felt that I had to too. Thank you Mr. Williams for all the laughs.)

June 2014 ACCA exams

Passed my three exams I took in June (auditing by the skin of my teeth). 5 more left.

No more studio ghibli films

Maya Animation Tests

Here are some rough animation tests I have done to try and get back into animating. All Models obtained for free from the internet.

Rig Tests

In December 2013 and January 2014 I attempted to model and rig some of my own characters for the purpose of animating for my showreel. It didn't wok out very well. Turns out I'm not brilliant at it. However I decided to show you to show what I have been up too.

Characters are copyright to me.

Mickey Super Smash Bros Intro Screen

I liked those intro title screens that Smash Bros have been using to introduce their characters. I wanted to try and fake a full 3D rendered model look. My plan was to colour the image flatly in photoshop and then place a lit 3D Maya model shadow on a multiply layer. So I imported the image into Maya and model a simple version of the Mickey image. 

Unfortunately the image was imported onto the Maya plane at a different proportional ratio which meant it didn't match up to the original photoshop image. So I ended up having to cut up the Maya image and move bits around. So it didn't wok out as well as I hoped.

Exams all over so doodles

Well as of last Friday my exams have all been finished (results on 8th August) so I have been able to upload some of my doodles.

These are just some sketches for possible sequels to my children's book "Diggory Sparrow and the Isle of Quakapooka".

These are just some villain concepts for Doodleboy idea.

I love the style of Disney Infinity so I thought could it be applied to other characters. I tried to pick four pretty popular ones to test it on.

I enjoy reading "Harpy-Gee" by Brianne Drouhard on Dummcomics.com so I drew this quick picture to show my appreciation.

Whilst revising for my exams I couldn't help but postulate some ideas for another children's book. Since the last one catered more towards boys, I thought I try coming up with something that catered more towards girls.

These are the three queens of the kingdom.

Some alternate colours for the main three girls.

Surprise interview
