Eek...

the text in the last post mucked up somehow so heres an explaination.

Its the main character 'Hunter' in my Glasgow-based Grand Theft Auto Project.

This pose will appear in one of the related scenes yet to come, but also as part of his character sheet.

a little preview of something im working on..

This is the character Hunter in my Grand Theft Auto: Glasgow Project.

I have two colour versions of him in alternate poses which i will post as part of a character sheet when its complete.

Character Design

Didnt have much time today, so this evening I decided i would mock up the first rough for the character as quickly as possible, as a kind of test and a bit of practise..

Quite happy with the results, I've definitely improved since my last attempts at making a character..

The skintones dont look quite right against the background, but what can you do, its only a rough i suppose.

More to come!

Mock-GTA:Glasgow Sillhouettes

Right so another project im doing for uni at the moment is the concept art for a new Grand Theft Auto game, naturally, ive chosen to focus on Glasgow..

I've sketched ideas for the characters but haven't done an awful lot on the computer yet..

Heres some pre-emptive silhouettes for the main character sheet, some refining will obviously need done especially to the proportions of the top right version.

Can't wait to get torn into this again tomorrow!

D&AD Competition entry

This was my entry for the 2012 Design & Art Directors Student Award Competition..

Its Ryan Gosling in Drive, the brief was to produce a cover for the Little White Lies Competition..

Portraits aren't something i've done alot of.. infact this was my first digital portrait so it took a long time. Definitely learnt alot from the process, on with the next one!

Flash Animation

An attempt at flash animation, check it out.

Was good fun to make, its nice to try out a different program for a change.. i can see the potential for some website projects in the (probs distant) future..

Note: theres something hidden in the second scene, move the mouse about the screen and maybe you'll find it

New Leaf

Ok, so i've decided im taking a new leaf as far as blog posting goes.. meaning you can expect much more regular posts from me as of this point.. I will try to keep yall updated on my creative activities! Right now, the near-future holds:

• A new trimester of uni.. to be honest anything could be better course-wise than last term.. although the work was quite fun.
• My D&AD Student Awards Entry .. Doing a movie poster for recent blockbuster 'Drive' .. its a mock cover illustration for the movie mag 'little white lies' which features a portrait of the movies main character, along with a typeface and background.. should be fun!

Going to start correlating reference images and sketches for a new personal project.. some widescreen format landscapes of different areas of Glasgow, with a twist..

Keep tuned! This is gunna be a big year for jME
