Pulled this little guy from my archive from about 2012. The plan was to make micro episodes but at the time everything was geared towards longer format kids TV shows. Indie animation and social media facing short form content is much more of a thing now. Perhaps its time to resurrect these guys. 🙂

Value ink poster tribute to Boris Karloff and Universal Pictures Frankenstein movies. These movies had a huge impact on me when i first saw them as a child!

Got some time last Sunday to do a new design. I might take this one through to zbrush and blender for some look dev. Quite like how the head turned out. All referenced from real insects. 🙂 #creaturedesign #procreate #conceptart #characterdesign #creatures #monsters #insects #sketching #art #drawing

More recent insect creature variation. Alt version of an old design. Will be doing a new creature sculpt soon, just trying to settle on an idea. #creaturedesign #gameart #procreate #characterdesign #conceptart #insects #sketchbook #procreate #art #painting #creatures

Working on quick early lookdev for concept sculpts using Blender EEVEE. A mix of polypaint and vertex paint passes and procedural materials. 🙂

Raven sketch for a new poster design - Edgar Allen Poes the Raven, Ok so i pushed it too far and it no longer looks like a Raven but ill fix that for the poster art. I will still probably push the stylisation though. I always loved the way the great Arthur Rackham pushed his Crow and Raven drawings.

I have always enjoyed the process of painting, drawing and sculpting, both digital and traditional media. Here is a value/ink painting that combines my love of old horror movie posters and typography and old universal character actors. This one of course is horror legend Boris Karloff. 🙂

In 2017 i was working at Dneg London animating some Kaiju shots on Pacific Rim2. I loved the work, its not often we get to animate big monsters. However i did have a daily commute that lasted 2 and a half hours both ways so decided to do my best to use that time constructively do some sketching.

Decided to do an ink painting study just for the sake of drawing and because i like the process. Trying to combine some of my favourite things. Birds, gothic horror and montage poster art. Sergio Toppi has always been a big inspiration.

Making Creatures has always been my happy place. I finally got round to doing some lookdev and texture work on the Turtle creature i first sculpted almost a decade ago. Trying out some look variations with lots of comping, photo bash, paintover and renders from Blender.🙂

Bolthead, one of the Gnomes gang. I imagine these guys would be the size of a small Rat. I thought that giving them a rat like tail and eyes would make them more creepy! #monster #horror #art #blender #zbrush

I tend not to do fan art generally (nothing against it) but i got so immersed into the world of Spice Frontier that I was inspired to design a creature that could fit in this universe stylistically. #kaiju #creaturedesign #blender #zbrush #eevee #insects #creatures #animation
