Blue Chevrons

Rough sketches of mechs in the style of old cars.

2012-01-20T05:52:00.000-08:00

It was suggested I should try the old car stuff in the mech theme.

Liking this idea. Need to thrash out more sketches - play with

shapes and form. I like the last one bottom right so far.

More character work.

2011-12-19T12:41:00.000-08:00

Enough of these sketches. Need to do a finished piece of this character.

Perhaps a pretend sculpture standing on a miniature plinth with a few props.

New character added to this car stuff.

2011-12-07T10:21:00.001-08:00

What needs to be done now is his own whacky car.

Working on pretend title graphic too.

2011-11-29T06:01:00.001-08:00

A finished version of one of the earlier sketches.

Now I would like to create an appropriate logo.

His name at the moment is Tayell Spinn.

Car contraptions

2011-11-21T09:22:00.001-08:00

A few more sketches. Still liking the subject. Trying to free myself up a bit with just

rough colour work. Get the idea across so to speak. Apologies for the gun.

I always end up putting a gun in somewhere. I think it effects the period feel a bit.

Flying Machine Thingy

2011-11-03T09:26:00.000-07:00

Car now with fins.

Car sketches continued

2011-11-02T06:40:00.000-07:00

Drivers. Need to make them look more of the period.

Car Doodles

2011-10-11T11:16:00.001-07:00

Still into this vintage racing car thing. Like to play around with the shape/proportions.

"Woohoo!"

2011-10-05T13:08:00.000-07:00

An illustration I did for my Dads birthday.

Migraine box art

2011-09-15T09:27:00.001-07:00

The third character of six. No ideas yet as to the rest of the characters.

Migraine! a Professor Phutt creation

2011-09-09T09:36:00.001-07:00

A fellow scientist migraine sufferer turned into a lab experiment under the knife of Professor Phutt etc etc. I'll add details as I chip away at this.

Pretend box art for the toy

2011-09-06T10:33:00.000-07:00

Box could be wider. Will look into sketching the tank of gue he was contained in.

The Tank sketches

2011-09-06T10:31:00.001-07:00

Sketches of the Tank. I did quite a few of these. Never happy with the proportions.

Smasher "The Toy Figure"

2011-08-17T14:32:00.000-07:00

Had to do this. A mock up of Smasher the toy figure. Maybe one day ...

Big Boss Character "Smasher"

2011-08-17T07:40:00.000-07:00

Like this doodle - classic meat head shape - so I've worked on it and produced a finshed piece.
Played around with the colours in photoshop.

Mechanic Scribbles

2011-08-11T11:14:00.000-07:00

I'm pushing the character a bit more here. Less Dopey.

Mechanic stuff

2011-07-29T08:16:00.000-07:00

Just a bit more finish here than the usual.
Just playing around with elements.
No idea what this chap makes yet
or what he fixes.

Zombie Hunter

2011-07-19T04:04:00.001-07:00

Perhaps a cliche but a cool theme to do.

Big boss warriors

2011-07-19T04:02:00.001-07:00

The Mechanic

2011-07-19T04:00:00.001-07:00

Need to add some cool mech or some contraption to show off his mechanic skills.

Colour!

2011-04-27T12:04:00.000-07:00

Had a bit more time to kill, so I've persevered with this character.

Created it in a more graphic cartoon style.

More sketches of stuff in armour

2011-04-27T11:58:00.000-07:00

knights and energy stuff

2011-04-15T08:50:00.000-07:00

This guy looks a villian. So if this was in colour he would typically have different colour energy.

Typical Red or perhaps green.

Object on back continued ...

2011-04-14T07:33:00.000-07:00

Object on back could be a container for energy,magic, or the soul. Or perhaps it collects a build up of energy from the character. Like a power bar.

More giant ogre type stuff ...

2011-04-13T08:50:00.001-07:00

Continued drawings on this large boss type thing. Whats the thing on the top? Apart from the initial idea of a turret could be some weapon or sumfin, dunno yet. Just looking for a shape that works with the figure.

RPG fantasy type stuff

2011-04-11T05:01:00.001-07:00

Back to my usual stuff. RPG type fantasy world ...

The images are crying out for some backdrop.

Battlefield? A forest? An interior scene suiting up?

Might change the shape of turret thing.

A bit of colouring in too.

Inspired by the costume of Mongolian people.

2011-03-22T09:47:00.000-07:00

Thick clothing for sub zero temperatures and an extra big glove

for the flying robot to perch on.

A bird of prey still looks better. Might try another version with a bird.

Character stuff. Cool Toyz

2011-03-11T08:52:00.000-08:00

Knight character stuff

2011-02-09T07:33:00.000-08:00

Still have this armour stuff in my mind. I thought I'd combine tech with

the medieval world. Kind of like Steampunk I suppose.

Dragon Warrior character detail

2011-01-18T04:45:00.001-08:00

Continued details with this dragon warrior character.

Not quite there yet. Not happy with the overall shape.
Perhaps less shiny armour and more padding, leather armour.

More chunky perhaps, make the armour more of a feature.

Any comments welcome.

2011-01-12T02:14:00.000-08:00

Not much to say here. Usual cliche's.

Marines (computer game characters)

2011-01-12T01:45:00.000-08:00

More sketches unearthed from my sketchpad.

These guys are drawn in this robust chunky style because I like

drawing in these proportions. Having in mind, that they

might be in some imaginary game on a handheld console,

to cope with a small screen.

Female Warrior

2011-01-11T09:50:00.001-08:00

Posting the previous drawing reminded me of some sketches I did last year.

Having thumbed through lots of dog-eared sketchpad pages, I've scanned

in these.

Dragon Warrior

2011-01-11T05:52:00.001-08:00

I think this is from a build up of seeing Frank Frazzeta and World of Warcraft art.

The combination of fantasy creature and a rider is a nice subject to do.

I would like to continue with this. Next time perhaps, the creature is more referenced

from the animal kingdom. Eagle, insect, dinosaur ?

More cheese, scribbles

2010-11-19T09:08:00.001-08:00

A.P.E (Army Prototype "E")

2010-11-19T08:49:00.001-08:00

Cheesy I know, but fun.

Personal Sketches

Character work. A spin off from the previous aircraft contraptions. Roughly based from pilots in the forties era (Biggles etc). A bit more realistic compared to the previous smaller figures. If I continue with this figure I would like to sketch out some dynamic poses to illustrate more of the character. This is something I don't do enough of. Faces and hands I need to work on too. tsk.

Personal sketches

2009-09-14T07:52:00.000-07:00

I like the previous sketch of the aircraft I did. I've continued with it showing the back. No great idea behind the theme - just a personal fan on tech. I've added gyroscopes to give it some functionality and credibility. This part I like - you can chip away at it and take it from a thought to a convincing drawing on paper.

Suprise surprise. Padded suit character continued with a bit of colour.

Personal Sketches

2009-08-10T06:00:00.001-07:00

Once again these sketches are fancy free doodles during working hours. It's my attempt at capturing any whim regardless how fleeting and make something of it. Without being too precious either. The subject might become a regular in the drawings but the plan is not to feel the need to change. At the moment it consists of the familiar war hero with padded armour and added gadgets etc. If one particular sketch keeps my eye I might continue with it and add more to the subject. If I promise myself to invest a bit more time and effort I shall add colour.

The mech design on the right is an attempt at combining the far fetched with a familiar commercial product. My current thoughts on this are to create a mech that feels like a mountain bike product. Associated with extreme sports culture/skateboarding. The character on the left is an idea I've had for a while. Inspired by a sculpture in Venice - resting lion on steps with eagle wings. This sculpture had such presence and conveyed power/confidence. I've tried to create an urban street vibe version.

Concept doodles

2009-07-01T13:15:00.000-07:00

Rough scans from marker pad. Two characters - a typical hard nut hero. Like the shape and proportions. Probably go back to character and continue with it sometime. The 2nd character is a female soldier/warrior with metal arms (talon things). Tough type grundgy female character. A familiar theme but fun all the same.
