Old Game Redesign Practice

I have created a practice piece based on my own adaptation of the original to make a more modern version of  the original mega drive/genesis "Echo The Dolphin".

In total this piece took around 6 hours from start to finish.

New Portfolio Website

I have updated my portfolio with a completely new makeover and redesign.


The old portfolio is still active for now while traffic is being diverted to the new one, but for those that use it, the new site is below.

Thanks everyone for your support to date:)

New Creature Concept Art

Finally got some free time tonight so i created a creature concept for practice work.
This was all drawn in Photoshop with my wacom intous 4 tablet and in total took around 4 hours to complete.

Fingers crossed

At this stage in my concept art career I'm starting to attract a lot more attention for potential clients and so in the not too far distant future , all of my work so far will start to pay off.
As funds are an issue until that day lands, I'm applying for funding via a kick-starter type system in order to hopefully upgrade my tools . This would benefit me and my work in the sense that instead of drawing on my desk tablet while looking UP at the screen...i would be able to draw directly ON the screen and make more use of my skills as far as details go for better hand eye co-ordination.

I have enhanced this crowd funding to allow people to benefit from perks. This will be in the form of artwork that i will supply to donars of set amounts contributed to the cause.

Wish me luck and tell your friends! :)

New Creature Creation Time Lapse Video

Created for www.exilic.com, this creature is an adaptation of the Simurgh. An ancient mythical creature of Persian culture. This video shows the stages from start to finish of this design.At the end you will also see the final render  where the creature was eventually put into a scene.
The video is sped up considerably but i have tried during the process to not zoom in and out too much so the video doesn't mess with your eyes.Enjoy!

The finished piece can be found on my portfolio site www.xynode.simplesite.com and also on deviant art Deviantart-Simurgh .

New WIP page on my portfolio!

New Concept Art : Abandoned

A little earlier than planned, here is my latest personal concept art piece i created for practice. I tried to keep it semi rough for more "concept" than "illustration". Enjoy:)

Dragon Speed Painting Videos completed

 

 

After my previous blog i had a lot of requests to finish the job on my painting so i have actually completed another time lapse video for it.
Here you will see both part 1 and part 2 of the process and also the final render.
The whole purpose was for production speed, i hope you all enjoy it. Also in the next couple of days i will be releasing my most recent personal concept i have been working on as well as a couple of game element pieces. ENJOY! :)
